Update - removed the config .ini from the FB scenery folders (KSFO,KDEN, KIAD), restarted p3d at KSFO. vocal error was not heard, and I was able to bring up the simconnect menu, but there are still no gates available in gsx. Tried rebuilding the cache, didn't help.
Sode appears to be working, i'm able to dock the jetway without issue from the sode text menu if that matters.
On a more personal note, I'm truly grateful for the work you've done and continue to do to support p3d. Reading through some of the forum posts, I'm appalled at some users remarks. It's painfully obvious these folks have no idea what goes into maintaining these addons year after year without any sort of support fee. While I know it's distracting to read these comments, I hope you can ignore the few bad apples and realize the community as a whole are supportive of everything you've done and continue to do. Thanks for all your work.
