Couatl crashed when cycling through Parking Systems

[Ray Proudfoot]

Hi Umberto,

I bought KOKC for P3Dv5 but it came with fixed jetways. I renamed the BGL which removed them and I've been adding my own via GSX.

When it came to changing the Parking System I used the F2/F3 keys to cycle through the options. Unfortunately Couatl crashed after pressing F3 a couple of times. The prompt to run Live Update didn't help.

Log attached. Hope it's a quick fix.

PS. Using Q and Z to adjust the height of the Parking System didn't work. I did choose a Wall-Mounted one.

Q and Z do work for raising / lowering. I was at the lowest position so couldn't lower the Parking System any lower.

One thing though. The Parking System becomes transparent when placed in front of green tinged terminal windows. Is that something that can be fixed in GSX?

The error is caused because you choose a VGDS model that is not available in P3D, only in MSFS. In the next version, the editor will filter out the models not available in P3D, so you can't chose the wrong one by mistake but, in the meantime, just choose a different mode.

I suspected that was the reason. So anything containing VGDS is incompatible.

Long wait or quite soon?

There shouldn't be much custom profiles out there containing VGDS not available in P3D, the only ones would be the ones made by somebody that explicitly selected one of the unavailable models, didn't noticed ( or decided to ignore ) the errors that would appear while editing, and saved the file anyway.

I don’t know much about these parking aids. I usually just go with the wall-mounted version Alt the top of the list. But could you help regarding it being partially transparent and the indicators staying off when I approach the gate?

PMDG738 of course. If a screenshot would help I’ll provide one tomorrow l
