Thanks Ahmet Sanal

Whenever you find something duplicated in a scenery or default objects mixed with the airport, or misplaced jetways it's never a problem of GSX, and it's always a problem of a duplicated AFCAD or another scenery in conflict.

You can use the free Simple Airport Scanner program to search for duplicates AFCADs:

Thanks for airport scanner link. I  downloaded and installed , unfortunately didn't work. All info-lines  were gray. It looks like Scanner didn't  communicate with P3D.

1 I un installed GSX Level 2, hopping I can regain default Jeyways. No didn't happened

2- UN installed GSX base, still all jetways there.

It looks like I canot solve this problem. I believe , GSX Level 2, it did changed the Jetways in AFCAD. NO way I can recover the files.

I am going to start all over again. I will delete all P3D files and reinstall P3D and All-Add-ones again

I wish you and your team many success.

No, it hasn't. That's not how GSX works. GSX only removes the DEFAULT jetway model and places its own jetways on sceneries that use the default jetway model.

So, the real problem is GSX is reading an AFCAD from a scenery that use default jetways, so it's correct trying to replace them. But then you have another file, with other jetways in different positions, that's the scenery conflict, since you have two files for the same airport.

Another possible reason is, GSX is reading the default scenery, because your other files is not self-contained. Or it might been rejected by GSX for some reason. Check the name of the ACAD used by GSX in the scenery customization page.

1- Where shall I find them?

2- I reinstall GSXLevel 2,. I started P3D . Add-ons I selected SODE 1.6.3<Reload ALL. In one second   default  Jetways  disepared (I am happy) Then Default  GSX Jetways appeared again

As I've said, in the scenery customization page. In GSX, of course, which can be accessed by selecting the "Customize airport positions" menu under the GSX main menu.

OK.. I managed to go "Scenery customization page  in (%AppData>Roaming>Virtuali>GSX select

I solved the PROBLEM.

I upgraded SODE to v.1.6.4

It  eliminated free standing Jetways, but replaced with   BIG   Orange X every Free Standing Jetway locations.

so, problem  must be SODE communication with GSX.
I uninstalled SODE.

I started P3D  SIM. All  Free standing Jetways eliminated.  GSX working well.

The X sign it's a message from SODE when a scenery that uses SODE to create jetways or other objects has a problem for some reason, usually caused by a missing objects, which indicates an install problem of THAT scenery.

However, GSX/SODE jetways are not handled entirely by SODE (they are, but only the moment they are activated) and, instead, are created by GSX so, if there was a problem with them, you'll see a different error from GSX, but not the RED/ORANGE X from SODE, which instead indicates that SODE couldn't find an object it was supposed to create itself.
