• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FSXA How Do I Remove the SODE Jetways For A Certain Airport Without Effecting the Other Airports And P3Dv4

Hi,
I have about 3 KBHM scenery airports installed in FSX but I always use one of them at a time by enabling just one of them in the Scenery Library. One scenery is the KBHM 1970, one is the KBHM 1986, and one is the current scenery SXAD KBHM. I have the 1986 and the SXAD KBHM disabled or unchecked in the Scenery Library. The only one I have enabled is the KBHM 1970. The problem is that the SXAD KBHM comes with the SODE Jetways. When I uncheck the SXAD KBHM in the Scenery Library, the SODE jetways still remain. I have not had this problem before and I have always been able to use the KBHM 1970 scenery without the SODE jetways. Now, all of a sudden they remain in the scenery. I know I can remove the SXAD KBHM folder and the xml jetway in ProgramData, but it not only removes the jetways at KBHM in FSX. It also removes the SODE jetways at KBHM in P3Dv4. How do I go about removing ONLY the jetways at KBHM in FSX without effecting the SODE Jetway at other airports and in P3Dv4? I only want to remove the SODE jetways only at KBHM and in FSX.

You make the following entry in the responsible SODE-XML...

<SODE>
<TargetSim ID="P3Dv4"/>
<SimObject .../>
...
</SODE>

This makes the SODE objects visible only in P3Dv4.

I've tried these entries and it's still not working right. It did removed the jetways in FSX but it also removed the jetways in P3Dv4. Apparently, I'm not doing something right. You haven't specified if I just put in the boldface text or all of it, and exactly where to place them. Please elaborate. What are the 3 dots for and why is the /> in SimObject on the right side when in the xml they're on the left? Do I put in all these entries or just <TargetSim ID="P3Dv4"/>? Just placing the <TargetSim ID="P3Dv4"/> does not work, unless I'm not placing it in the correct place. I placed it right under <SODE> at the beginning.

I have just tried it again and it works for me in PAFA from AS without any problems.

Insert the entry <TargetSim ID="P3Dv4"/> directly under <SODE> in the corresponding xml.

This entry then makes all SODE objects from this xml only appear in the simulator entered.
 
Thanks guys.

I think I finally got it to work now. I don't know why it didn't work the first time. At first, I inserted the full entry that Bushpilot posted and it removed jetways in both FSX and P3Dv4. I copied and pasted it right under <SODE> at the top beginning of the xml. That didn't work so I just copied the boldface <TartgetSim ID="P3Dv4"/>, but that still didn't work. The jetways were removed in both simulators FSX and P3Dv4. After several attemps, it finally worked. I don't understand why in the world it did not work the first time, and I copied and pasted the entry into the xml, and there was no way that I could get them typed wrong. It seems like even though when I followed the directions correctly, they never work the first time and all of a sudden, they work. I don't understand that. I don't know if this plays a part but I did have trouble saving my xml file after I entered the entries. It kept telling me that I don't have permission to make the changes using NotePad. There was no way to make the entries. I've never had this problem before and now all of a sudden, this crap starts. Appareny, this crap started in one of the Windows updates because I've never had this problem before. I have always been able to make changes or add entries to an xml. So, I tried using NotePad ++ and I was able to save it. When I opened the xml in NotePad, the entry was saved but I don't know if it really saved it or not, since it took several attempts to make it work. It should not take several attempts and it should have worked the first time I entered the entries. Would any of you have some insite about this? By the way, thanks JP Penz for posting that article from SODE.
