question about 3rd party airports with SODE Jetways
« on: September 07, 2018, 10:16:59 pm »
From what I understand, 3rd party airports, let's take LatinVFR KBWI for example, which comes with SODE jetways cannot be modified. I am seeing this as an issue as the jetways dont have any windows on the side, therefore you cannot see the passengers boarding. Do we need to change values in the sode XML files to change the jetways type? Not sure if I missed something in the documentation.
Thank you in advance!

Well, theoretically, if you just remove the sode XML for that airport, you can customize it with GSX. However, the developer might use SODE for other things so, maybe, instead of removing it, it might be best to edit it to remove *just* the jetways.

Thanks Umberto, how would I go about removing *just* the jetways?

You should remove all the <Stand> sections in the SODE XML file that contains a jetway. Each section must be removed starting from the opening tag to the closing tag

... all lines between the opening/closing tags

</Stand>
