String of issues with JFKv2.5 after installing GSXL2
« on: September 21, 2018, 10:44:31 pm »
1. Reinstalled JFK2.5 on 04:00PM ET today, ran LiveUpdate and I see buildings only, no jetways, no excludes (hence I see a bunch of holes), blurry textures or lack of textures.

2. The Add-One menu is visible from P3D upper menu but it's not accessible.

3. Also, EZDOK camera stopped working in JFK and it says that it's looking for Simconnect. Amazingly, EZDOK works perfectly fine in other airports even those made by FSDT.

Looks like Simconnect issue to me, but I have never experienced them before. All three simconnects have been installed.

P3Dv4.3, Win7 Pro is here. All AV exclusions are set properly

All the other FSDT sceneries works ok.

I read this topic.

1. I have never customized GSX file and moreover I don't have KJFK file in the ...VIRTUALi/GSX folder

2. I just installed JFK and ran the LU. ADE/AFCAD file is the one that was provided with the installer. No other files as checked with the Airport Scanner.

You said you do have buildings (FSDT buildings) by not jetways and no ground textures ?

As I already mentioned, EZDOK does not work at JFK as well - it seeks for Simconnect and cannot find it. It has a tool to test all 3 installed simconnects and none of them tend to communicate with EZDOK. I have been using EZDOK with no problems for many years until last week when new GSX installer was put into P3D

What if you disable Ezdok ? If Simconnect was REALLY missing, you wouldn't see *anything* from *any* FSDT scenery, no GSX menu, no Couatl menu, nothing.

So, clearly, Simconnect must be working but, if Ezdok says there's a problem with it, perhaps Ezdok itself is part of the problem.

I doubt it, but I will test this scenario. As I said, EZDOK and GSX had co-existed peacefully for 7 years until last week. The most recent EZDOK update was installed in February.

We don't make any changes to Simconnect (we just start the official installer you have in the P3D4\redist folder but, it won't do anything and will just skip if the Simconnect is already installed in the system.

I disabled EZDOK from launching, reinstalled GSX and the module started P3D, loaded JFK and now I lost everything including buildings.

I uninstalled all of them...I'm going to add KLAX in 5 minutes and let you know. For JFK, I cannot access Add-one Menu while it's still visible

KLAX works perfectly, the Add-One menu is accessible, even EZDOK works (I enabled it again)
