Hello, I'm recently having some problems with missing scenery objects. I use many AFCADs that have the jetway extensions from JFK (like some made by Ray Smith, but also some I've modified myself), and in all cases FSX won't show them. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the airports, and even removing and reinstalling FSX itself, and I still have this problem. Any help, please?

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.
FSX Scenery objects missing

hi juanvito,
welcome to the forum,
if you have installed many of my airports and the jfk jetways do not show, then perhaps you have not installed the textures for them correctly,
in the "readme" supplied you have to copy the textures for them from one folder into the correct folder for them to show!
can you give us an example of one of the airports you have tried that do not show these jfk jetway extensions!
also the procedure you are using to add these textures!

Take LEMD, for example: http://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=139658
I usually place my addons in subfolders inside the Addon Scenery folder, so in this case I put the LEMD_ADE_RS file in Addon Scenery/Europe/scenery folder (moving it to Addon Scenery/scenery doesn't help). The rest, I do just as in the readme file.

Another example, using this version of YSSY http://library.avsim.net/zipdiver.php?DLID=151274
If I use it as provided it works perfectly. But if I edit it in ADE (just playing around with parking assignments), compile the edited file and use it, the jetway extensions stop showing up. Also, the BGL file becomes a lot smaller after I edit it, so there's something going on there...

If the the LEMD file does not work in the Addon Scenery/scenery folder then FSX could possibly be reading another file that is sitting above this folder in the FSX Settings priority list,
do you have any other addons at all? like AI addons, trafficX or my traffic for example,
you also say you have modified some yourself,
can you give us an example of what you are doing with the jfk jetway extensions, and how you are adding them
this doesn't sound like an ADE problem, to me its more a conflict with something else added in your FSX installation, or possibly the files you are modifying,
i don't have a problem with the LEMD file and 300 other ADE files in the Addon Scenery/scenery folder that have the jetway extensions in them
if you are opening my BGL files then you will not see the jfk jetways when you compile the ADE file, as you now do not have the models for the the jetway extensions in the ADE file, they are stored in the original ad2 file

Ah!! ok, so its not an ADE problem then,
you are opening the BGL files, and as i said in the last post,
you do not have the Models for the jfk jetways in your ADE file you have opened,
without these models they will not compile in your file, so obviously you are not going to see them
the file will be a lot smaller as the jetway extensions are not in the compiled file!!!
Many times here we have explained that you lose vital data when opening a BGL with ADE, never a good idea as you have found out
always work from a stock airport with the ad2 file! not a BGL file

Thanks for the help, still I am kind of lost. How do I add the models to my BGL file? I thought they came from the default KJFK, so they would be shown in flight as long as I have all the default sceneries activated (as I do).
I tested LEMD with no other addons activated (except FScene4x, I don't suppose that has anything to do with this issue, does it?), and without touching the BGL. Still doesn't work.

Hi,
I am still confused. Do the jetways show up in the LEMD scenery as downloaded, or not? Is it only when you run the ADE file through ADE that you have this problem?
Did you copy the two textures listed in the instructions into the Scenery/Global/scenery folder?
Are you sure you are only using one of the ADE files? (you mention the RS file, so you are NOT using the CW file, correct?)
Did you move the OBJ file into the same folder as the ADE file?

Could you share your "accidental solution" with the rest of us?
