GSX Pro jetways
« on: August 23, 2022, 12:02:50 pm »
i started up mfs2020 and gatwick has the see through jetways and i went onto the installer and for some reason disabled 3rd party jetways but i have reversed that now and no airports are in the disabled section but the see through jetways are no longer visible

Have you exited the sim before doing that, and restart it after ?

Something's wrong, try this:

remove this folder:

\Addon Manager\MSFS\fsdreamteam-gsx-world-of-jetways_backup

and run an Update, it will restore all jetways.

still only brings up the standard jetways that come with the airport, whilst it was running the update it said excluding the jetways from egkk and lepa

That can only happen if you haven't removed the backfolder or, did that while the installer was still running.

I'm sorry, I should have been more clear: after you removed the backup folder, you must restart the installer, because it's not "monitoring" the folder while it's running, so it still thinks jetways should be disabled.

i have made sure the folder was deleted with no sim programs running and the jetways still haven't changed, would a fresh install of gsx help?

You haven't said if you did a Live Update after you did that. You should have noticed it should have redownloaded some files from the main jetways package, which contains the replacement jetways for all airports worldwide.

Then you should have the jetways. If not uninstall/reinstall

That can only mean you haven't removed the jetways backup folder, no question about it, it's the only place the installer looks for to know what's supposed to be disabled or not.

As I've said, any changes or removals must be done when the installer is not running.
