UK2000 Airports in P3D 4.5 after the recent update.

[mwyatt]

Hi Virtuali, good day to you.
I have P3d 4.5.14.34698, Win 11. GSX and GSX2.
 Before the recent update all the UK2000 airports worked correctly in P3D/GSX/GSX2. Since the update, some do not work, and some do.
Those that do not work (for me) are Stansted (EGSS), East Midlands (EGNX), Doncaster (EGCN), and Heathrow (EGLL), these airports give the error "only 1 parking space available", or words to that effect.
There are no updates from the developer. I have tried deleting the INI files in Virtuaili/GSX/, but no improvement.
I have a backup of the ADDON MANAGER from before the update, so I can compare before and after the update.
Is it possible for a fix in the near future ?, Or is getting these airports to run in P3D 4.5 a lost cause ?
Thanks for the fixes so far.
Best regards, Martin.

I have 10 of Gary’s airfields - only EGGW 2020 HD works after the update. The others which are much older all fail.
Over the last week I have done multi multi installs and tried every solution that came up on the forum and yesterday I found the work around - as well as deleting the ini files in the Virtuali folder, you need to delete the 2 gsx ini files in the airfield scenery folder. So far that has worked for all the UK 2000 fields
Good luck!

Hi John, thanks for your reply.
I have done as you suggested at the 4 UK2000 airports that did not work for me.
They now work as expected, but no SODE jetways at gates at those 4 airports.
I wonder if reinstalling SODE would cure that ??
Thanks for your help.

Did you check the box for new exclude files for each airport - then shut down P3D, run the compiler and start p3d again?

As mentioned, this works to get gsx to acknowledge gates, but leaves you with no animated jetways.

John, could you please remind me how to check the box for new exclusins.
I have completely forgotton how to do it.
Best regards, Martin.

Load up at any gate at the airfield in question. Select GSX Customise Airport Positions.
Look for Jetway Exclude Radius checkbox. If already ticked - untick - tick again. Press apply - bottom right.
Shutdown P3D.
Run the GSX Control Panel and compile the new exclude.

Hi Martin,

Your problem sounds exactly the same as I had with many of my airports. I have found a fix/workaround
that I will hope will get you up and working again as it did me.

Details are posted in "This parking is isolated - again!" (page2).
You have to add parkingsystem = 0 to every .ini file parking/gate entry if it doesn't already have it
in each scenery directory and also any .ini files in Virtuaili/GSX for that airport.

A rather time consuming process but it worked for me and all my SOD jetways work and still have my local GSX
configs.

The following airports I got working using this method.

UK2000 - egbb, egll, egnx, egph, egss
FSDT - lsgg
Flightbeam - kiad

and may work for any others with the same issue.

regards

Tony

Care to share your LSGG.ini file as your suggestion does not appear to work here.

[mwyatt]

Hi Tony, thanks for your reply. I have tried your m ethod using Heathrow as an example.
It did make the jetways appear, but only the default ones. Coud not get SODE to appear there.
I have gone back to 4 weeks ago, will remain there until the program is more stable.
I have wasted enough time already !!
Best regards, Martin.

I need SODE Files for UK2000 EGLL.

Here you go, replace file in Addon Manager/FSdreamteam/LSGG

I do not have a .ini file for Virtuaili/GSX as no mods have been made by me.

This file maybe overwritten by the original if the update process is run.

Tony

If any body has a working version of EGLL (Heathrow) with SODE jetways from UK2000 before the update,  I have P3D 4.5. I would love a copy.
I am not sure that there were any SODE jetways at UK2000's Heathrow.
I have tried a reinstall, nothing changed, I just have default jetways that are greyed out.

Thanks for the file Tony, it does work here.

Question is why when I had 88 parkingsystem = entries in my own file which failed only to find the number had reduced to 80 after the sim had run.
