Problems in SCEL
« on: January 28, 2019, 06:26:49 pm »
Hello,

i installed SCEL because of PBR :-)

But as i tried to set up a Parking i run in problems.
I can MOVE the Vehicles, but i can not Rotate them ( Num1 and Num3 )
I tried at another scenrie and here it works.

Has anyone the same expieriences ?

Ps.: I can also not change any Jetway :-(

Thx
Torsten

AFAIK, there's no way to programatically exclude SODE jetways using GSX similar to the facility used to exclude IK jetways defined in the scenery bgls  

So if you want to replace an already-defined SODE jetway with a GSX one, first you have to edit the existing SODE xml file (normally found in c:\ProgramData\12Pilot\SODE\xml\) and manually remove the existing jetway definition from the xml code before adding your GSX jetway.  As always, it's important to first make a backup copy of the xml prior to editing, as it's very easy to bugger up the formatting when doing manual edits.

Either because:

- you have the NumLock light on

OR

- another addon has taken those keys

OR

- you (or another addon) have redefined some of the default keys assigned to Slew mode

Hello,

yes, i tought also about that, but i have checked this with loading another scenery and here it works perfect.
It seams it is only in SCEL , that is the reason i ask if anyone else has the same Problems in SCEL?

You posted the picture to know if GSX is using the correct AFCAD ? From the name, it seems so.

However, since you said you cannot "rotate" vehicles (so I assume you can move them), then the only possible explanation is something happening with the rotate keys. Unless you are having other problems with the editor in that scenery you haven't said anything about it.

no, i post the picture for you to see, that the entries on the  Jetway Tab are all graed out.
That means also, i can even not disable the jetway for any Parking on this airport.

Yes, i can move the Vehicles, but only not rotate.
But there is no problem with the rotation key, because i test this at another airports and also
when i press Y (not in the GSX settings) i can move and rotate my airplain in Slew mode.
So there is no problem with the keys.

I have no more idea what can be the reason for that problem?

That's because you haven't selected any parking.

Sorry, but I can only repeat and confirm that, if this is happening, it can only caused by one of these:

- you have the NumLock light on

OR

- another addon has taken those keys

OR

- you (or another addon) have redefined some of the default keys assigned to Slew mode

Because there is a SODE jetway already defined for that parking spot external to GSX.  GSX won't let you place one there until you disable the existing one.

As I've said in my previous post, in your screenshot no parking was selected, so it's entirely normal the jetway tab would be greyed out.

If you posted the screenshot after clicking the parking, they jetway tab would either appear populated with all the entries OR it would show "XML jetway", telling it's a SODE jetway defined in an SODE XML file, so it cannot be edited, unless that file is removed or edited.
