I replaced all of the animated jetways (3-51) at the Orbx KSAN with SODE jetways and I'm testing them with the PMDG 737 NGX and 777. When I start P3D 4.3 and create a scenario with either the NGX or 777, the jetways are missing more than 50% of the time. Restarting Couatl and Rebuild Airport Cache almost always restores them. But, a couple of times, the jetway that my aircraft is parked at is replaced by the default SODE jetway, overwriting my customization in the ksan-xxx.ini. I now keep a backup the .ini so that I can restore my jetways when that happens.
When it doesn't load the jetways the Couatl.log ends like this:

When the jetways do load, the Couatl.log looks like this:

I plan to upload my files to the shared area once I'm satisfied that they work properly.
