Good day to all,
I'am having a problem with MSFS2020 and default LFPG scenery.
I see a lot of osceenshots from other users that have glass jetway by default, but i'm having ugly default corrugated style Jetway. When contacting them to know how they managed this, I get told that it is like that by default.... not in my sim unfortunately.
In FSDT INstaller I tried both with LFPG included or excluded resulting in absolutely no change in ether cases, still have the corrugated model. Someone having an idea of what's going on there and how to get regular glassy Jetbridges ? it Seems I have the same issue at some other default airport like EGLL, EDDF, EDDM. However, EGNT and some other default have proper nice and glassy model.
I precise that Idid not install any addon for LFPG or general scenery or custom jetways except GSX.
Thanks you in advance for any help,
Regards,

First, to see jetways replaced by GSX on a default airport ( the only case in which replacement should be Enabled ), the airport must be Enabled in the GSX Config panel, and by default is surely Enabled.
If you are on SU9, you are likely affected by this bug, which has been fixed in SU10:

Hi,
Thank you for your quick answer, Should I understand that I should delete the content.xml file as a temporary manual workaround ? As I'm not willing to update to SU10beta at the moment.
regards,

I have same issue, cant get glass jetways on any default airports at all. Sometimes I get banners on the jetways sometimes not. I dont have the SU10 beta either and ive read the thread linked above that talks about deleting the content.xml file on each startup. Can you tell me where I find this file (steam version) and will it affect anything else im running with GSX pro - which is running really well for me nowadays, ive even started editting airports though not having good results all the time with that. More trial and error.

On the Steam version, the file is here:
%APPDATA%\Microsoft Flight Simulator\CONTENT.XML
Removing this file will result the sim creating a new one from scratch, with scenery areas sorted alphabetically, first the ones in Official, then the ones in Community, and this will affect the scenery priorities so, if you edited that file manually ( maybe you haven't, if you didn't knew where it was ) to fix yourself some priority issues between sceneries, you would have lost your changes so, I cannot say if this will affect any scenery or not, but it will surely affect GSX if you don't remove it at each startup or, at least before a flight from an handcrafted airport that has already replaced default Jetways on its own.
Because that's what the bug is really about: if a scenery has already replaced default jetways, other sceneries ( like GSX jetway replacement files ) won't be able to do that, even if they have an higher priority, unless you remove the content.xml file each time.
-
Ok thanks Umberto I'll take a look at the file.
-
Umbertos it didnt do anything, I still dont get the glass jetways at all. Now with SU10 is there any change at all? You mentioned that SU10 was going to fix this issue?

You haven't said if, with SU9, removing the CONTENT.XML before each session fixed the problem, so we would have known your issues was exactly that one. I can only confirm I see GSX jetways at default LFPG, see the attached screenshot.
-
Sure I did say that by saying it didnt change anything but anyway.
I have now updated to SU10, I have deleted the context.xml file but I still do not get any glass jetways at all anywhere on default airports. I do get banners on some airports but not all.

You are not supposed to get glass jetways anywhere, they are based on location. In the US, for example, you'll never see glass jetways, since they are not used there.
Check the gsx-world-of-jetways package has got the correct priority: with SU10 you can rearrange scenery areas with a new dialog under the "Experimental" settings. gsx-world-of-jetways should be placed below all default airport areas, but before any Community sceneries.
-
Hi,
I've checked with the experimental option and the position of the fsdreamteal-gsx-world-of-jetway is properly set as you said : Above community entries, below all default ones.
Still no change with SU10. Can provide any files if necessary to help investigate.
Edit: I tried to remove the content.xml from his location : C:\Users\FLT-OPS\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache. MSFS don't create a new one at startup nor it has an effect on my jetway at LFPG.
-
hello I have su10 and jetways are very nice at LFPG.
keep hope !
But I have a problem with the aircraft editor3D crashing everywhere....
-
Hello ,i had the same problems for the jetways on LFPG with my MSFS Premium Deluxe , but when i installed the SU10 , afther that ,glass jetways works fine. After that ,i had a problem with the doors , loading cargo bays and catering doors on Fenix A320 and FBW A320 who didn't opening and closing. Finally find out that with the last update for ,FSUIPC 7 , they works.
-
That's strange, I have also premium deluxe, can't understand how it could be fine on some system and not on others without any specific other addon that can conflict. Any help with this one will be appreciated.
-
I agree, so differents problems depending en each install ?
-
Only problem I have is that the jetways done reach the aircraft?
-
same problem, it depends on the gates from LFPG. Some gates are ok other don't. Depend on the LFPG terminal choosen
-
Just to give it a try, could someone having proper glass jetway at LFPG could send me the BGL file of the jetway so I can replace mine if it can fixe the problem ? Thanks.
-
Sorry for insistance but it seems there is no replacement of jetway whatever if the airport is excluded or not. Please see attached screenshot. Shot below is with LFPG Excluded so should be default jetway there.
-
Attached below when LFPG is set unabled in universal installer. As you can see there is absolutely no change at all. Any clue ?
-
Update : if it may help here is a screen of dev mod showing object. Fsdreamteam object are quoted but doesn't appear...
Also had a strange Behavior with Gsx when I was at one of the "F" gate in LFPG (the one of the screen), requesting jetway it stated me : "SODE no found" or something like this as in the P3D versions. I'am sure that there is no SODE in MSDS so May be a conflict as I have gsx for P3D installed at the same time?
-
Where is the experimental option?
-
Shot below is with LFPG Excluded so should be default jetway there.
And in fact, that's what you are seeing: default jetways, as is supposed to be.
-

And that's what you are supposed to see. If LFPG is "unabled", you are supposed to see default jetways, which is what you see.

I have activated the gsx jetways but in game only appears scenery default jetway, for eixample levc, lebl, lemd….. how to fix it to use gsx replacement jetways?

You are not saying if you are referring to default airports or 3rd party airports.
If you are referring to 3rd party airports, you shouldn't enable those airports, because the jetway replacement files are only meant to replace default jetways on default airports.
-
But before SU10 the gsx custom jetways worked at levc(3rd party airport), and now they don’t work, that’s the question

The issue is that you should NOT use GSX replacement jetways at 3rd party airports because, if they they were "visible", they wouldn't have worked very well anyway, unless in the very unlikely case of the 3rd party airport matching the default airport jetway locations exactly ( both position and gate they are associated to ), and this would have caused all sort of bugs that users mistakenly associate with GSX, like passengers not showing or walking in the wrong place, which most of the time are caused precisely because GSX couldn't detect the jetway properly, because you tried to use the GSX replacement file on a 3rd party airport when you weren't supposed to.
So, please, use GSX as expected, and disable jetways at all 3rd party airports using the "Disable 3rd party button", which should always be used when you add a new 3rd party scenery, and if the airport is not recognized automatically, because the scenery doesn't confirm to the official package naming convention, add the ICAO manually to the Disabled list.
