GSX Crashes at KATL (ATLANTA) airport. Default Scenery

[baba077]

Hello,
I run the FSX GOLD Edition with Acceleration Expansion Packand have had the my GSX 1 & 2 for many years now issue free.
Running on Microsoft 64bit,  Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700K CPU @ 3.80GHz   3.79 GHz. Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 with 47.85GB ram.

I updated my FSDT yesterday ( I always run the FSDT Live Update every time before i start my FSX).
when i launch in KATL airport, after about 1-2 mins, fsx scene closes with a message to run the Live update, which i just did, but when fsx starts up again, the same message appears and shuts down. This seems to be happening at just one airport - KATL.  Some of the other airports with gates will say "no gate at this therminal" when i call for gate docking, even though i can see gates at the parking stand. What could have gone wrong with this newest update? Appreciate your feedback. Thank you.

It spits out a log - See below
And i also attached two recent logs.

The problem is the airport profile you are using, which must have been made with an old version of GSX, one before P3D4 PBR and Render to Texture came out, because it's searching for a jetway named FSDT_SODE_JW1_DEFAULT_static, which doesn't exist.

After that upgrade, which came sometime in 2019, for the reason of not having .INI file dependent from the RTT feature, the jetway_logo in the .INI file would only contain the name of the logo ( DEFAULT in this case ), and the jetway_name would contain the bare jetway name WITHOUT a logo so, it would be FSDT_SODE_JW1 in that case.

So yes, if your .INI file was made before that update, it will have to be changed using this format.

C:\Users\Tayo-FSX 2\AppData\Roaming\Virtuali/GSX\katl-4vpbt6.ini

If it doesn't contain extensive customizations, it might be easier to just delete it.

Thank you so very much for your prompt reply on this issue. i appreciate.
do you have a step-by-step guide on how i go in to my computer to fix this?
i am having trouble finding the file you say has the corrupt issue to remove. thank you again.

I posted the exact path where the file is, according to the error log you posted:

Ah!
so sorrry. Got it. i am not very tech savy.
Done. Just deleted the file and all looks well in the KATL Airport scenery with no more crashes.
Many thanks again.
