Default Ctrl Jetways do not show in Sim Director, but appear in P3D normal sim

Post by bcars »

Using ADE to update an afcad. I have several gates where I have added stock ctrl-J jetway. I verified that the <Jetway is in the bgl / xml files.
When using Simdirector, the jetways do not show up, however when flying normally, position my scenario to start at gate with default ctrl-J jetways they show and operate just fine. I checked the Visibility settings and the jetways are set to NORMAL . P3DV5 and Simdirector are showing Very Dense.

I checked to be sure there were separate excludes for the areas in question. The fact they show up in the Sim leads me to believe I have an option/setting issue with Simdirector ?

First of all, with P3D v. 5 make sure you use ADE v. 1.79 for compatibility.

Second, since this involves ADE (a third-party tool), you might also want to post this question in the FSDeveloper forum, which is the official support forum for ADE.

Yes, I am using ADE 179,

The fact that the jetways render and operate within P3Dv5.2 tells me that the jetway definitions are correct. They just don't show in SimDirector. If it was a problem with ADE they would not appear when running in normal p3dv5.

This post tells me that you know way more about ADE than I do!!! I can look at and maybe (on a good day) do a simple modification to an AFCAD, but nothing more than that.

I would definitely urge you to post this in the FSDevelopers forum.
