Strange, it looks as if you lost the whole default airport objects file. Do you have this file under the simulator root folder ?

Scenery\Global\scenery\airport_objects.bgl ?

In simulator, when opened GSX i can`t see virtual passenger or crew!!

Strange, it looks as if you lost the whole default airport objects file. Do you have this file under the simulator root folder ?

Scenery\Global\scenery\airport_objects.bgl ?

Yep, size 8634KB  also have airport_objects.gsx  same size

[marcopolo39]

I have this problem as well. I have the airport_objects.bgl and .gsx

UPDATE:
I reinstalled GSX and when trying to open the GSX control panel I get this error message "Cannot open file C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3Dv4\scenery\Global\scenery\airport_objects.bgl"

Would reinstalling the P3D scenery work?

[virtuali]

You really don't have that file ? If that's the case, then yes, reinstalling the sim will fix it, it's a default file, fairly important (maybe not, if you only use payware airports)

[marcopolo39]

I deleted the airport_objects.bgl and .gsx, ran the P3D scenery module and then the gsx installer and the gsx control panel still can't read the file

[virtuali]

Are you SURE this is the correct folder ?

C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3Dv4

And not, perhaps:

C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4

which is the default ? Could be your registry key is not matching the installed folder ?

I just ran the new update on the live updater and the problem has been solved. Thank you Umberto for your help!
