Hi Guys, KSAT is now available for X-Plane 11 and 12. It includes X-Plane Native PBR on ground work and textures. The developer Tear Wear Designs did the WED and ground work. Pick it up from the X-Plane Store: KSAT- San Antonio International Airport-SXAD-KSAT (x-plane.org) Thank you!

I've notice that every time I place my plane at Gate A6 at KBHM, the SODE jetway is in the wrong position because the portion of the jetway that is connected to the terminal is not lined up correctly and it crooked. All the other jetways line up perfectly. It's only A6 that is not lined up correctly with the terminal. It does this in both FSX and P3Dv4. Why is this jetway attached to the terminal crooked? I would post a screenshot but there is no button here that allows for attaching images. Ken.

This is the support page for SXAD's KAMA for FSX, FSX SE, Prepar3d v2, v3 and v4. Currently this airport is available from Simmarket: http://secure.simmarket.com/sxairportdesign-rick-husband-amarillo-international-airport-fsx-p3d.phtml And Justflight: https://www.justflight.com/product/sxad-kama-amarillo-airport

Having a weird issue at SXAD BNA, most AI disappear after landing, its not all the time but most. I have checked and their are hold short nodes placed, PLENTY of parking at all the gates for any of the airlines that do disappear. It's right after they us their thrust reverse and slow down to taxi down the runway to turn off. I do not see this at any other airport. Any ideas??? SXAD, can you verify this? Its frustrating

I noticed something with KAMA while visiting the airport over a span of 6 hours. While parked at the GA Apron I watched the AI traffic roll in and out. True to real life, there is never more than 2 airliners at the airport at one time. Or at least not that I have seen. Because of this, my AI traffic (AIG) do not utilize the gates with jet bridges, only the parking stands on either side of the main airport gates. This goes for all of the traffic. The biggest aircraft by an airline into KAMA is the WN 737-700. But even still it will not park at the gates, just the parking stands. Is there any way you can delete those two parking spots to force AI traffic to use the gates? I…

I just installed KHOU in my P3Dv5.3 using the current P3Dv4/5 installer and have both default and SXAD KHOU visible from top down outside view. See image in this link: https://www.mediafire.com/view/axbvf4yvj2kllom/SXAD_KHOU_Plus_Default_KHOU.jpg I used the latest installer provided by simmarket. Any idea as to why there are both, missing exclude, perhaps? Also why there is significant offset between the two? (I'm having trouble recalling how to insert an image so I had to use the link method instead) Any help will be appreciated.

Hi: Am about to buy your new release of El Paso. Is there any way one could convince you to do KTUS? We are the next major airport west of El Paso and is a major Port of Entry to the US! Happy New Year! Peter

Hi, I first noticed I have no SODE jetways at KCRP, but then I also noticed I didn’t have them at KPNS. But I do at KSAT. So I’m confused as to why at some SXAD airports I have SODE and others I do not because I thought all of them had the program. I am running P3Dv5.3 and I got all of my products from Simmarket and to my knowledge I am running the latest version of the airports. How do I manually activate SODE? Thanks!

There are many threads with users detailing SODE jetways not appearing, I've double checked all the airports mentioned and can't see any issues. I have updated SODE and P3D v5. I have double checked all of the airports in Prepar3D v5 and I am seeing no default buildings appearing also. Please if anyone is experiencing these issues please update SODE and check you have no other airports activated. If you still do please post in this thread the Airport, issue and the distributor and airport version number listed in the folder. For Just Flight and PCAviator someone may have missed or forgotten to update the installers.

Hi, I've just installed the KBHM for FSX on my Upgraded PC Windows 10 Pro. But the SODE jetways are not showing up in the sim. I know you have 3 mini-installers, one for the default jetway and the static jetway. But the other one in particular with the file name NO_ JETWAYS_FOR_SODE I do not understand. I ran this mini installer but the SODE jetways still do not show up in the sim. Is this mini installer for switching to the SODE jetway? The file name is confusing and does not make clear to me exactly what it's for. Ken.

Not getting any SODE jetways at KCRP...turns out the SXAD_KCRP_GATES.xml file installed by the scenery has the airport ICAO misspelled as "KRCP" throughout the file The detail work in some of these sceneries (like this and VASI lights in the middle of the ramp at KAMA) is somewhat underwhelming.

Hello - I am having an issue with SXAD KBHM where only the default buildings show up. When I look at the add on scenery section and scenery library in P3dv5, KBHM is grayed out and the box unchecked. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to ungray the box to check it. Also, it seems that there is no way to uninstall this airport because none of my SXAD airports show up in the add and remove programs section of Windows. I also have KBNA, KPNS, and KSAT and those airports work without issues. Thanks in advance for any help. Cheers, Pete

Hello, trying to reinstall BNA and i get an error message saying a previous version is already installed. Shouldn’t be possible because I have totally deleted the scenery completely off of my hard drive. Any ideas on how to fix? Also, all of the sudden I’m missing runway and taxiway lights at night.

Hello, My copy of KBNA has red X on every gate. No SODE is spawning in. Thanks!

Hi Everyone, I just purchased my first SX Airport Design scenery KBNA for P3D4 and 5 and like it a lot. My only problem is it installed two different parts that don't seem to be able to be moved right in the middle of my Orbx scenery library. Can anyone advise how i can move this or get it up to the top of my library list with the other non movable scenery items? Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

Better late than never, simMarket customers can now download the update from: https://secure.simmarket.com/sxairportdesign-kbna-nashville-p3d5.phtml Other vendors and the FSX and P3Dv4 update later on next week!

You guys see this? https://thepointsguy.com/news/southwest-airlines-nashville-airport-concourse-d/

I don't understand what's happening but my jetways are no longer displayed in the KBHM scenery, and I have not switched the jetways. I've re-installed the KBHM airport but they still do not show up at all. I have the latest version of SODE. What's the problem? Ken.

Just carrying over from your excellent Norfolk update including the nearby LCAC base. Have you ever considered Including the nearby Pantex sight as a photo scenery or with its buildings just up the road Amarillo airport. It seems like it would be a significant VFR navigational landmark and would make your scenery just that bit more immersive especially as the countryside seems so flat in that area... or is that place just "Verboten" altogether, would be kinda cool though.

Hello, Last week saw SXAD KORF v1.5 released. This included better looking ground polygons, P3D v4 and v5 native installers with Dynamic lighting and materials. Also the Little Creek Landing Craft Air Cushion base was included, which makes the approach much better looking. This should be available for free for existing customers now or available to purchase from simMarket. https://secure.simmarket.com/sxairportdesign-norfolk-international-airport-fsx-p3d.phtml?fbclid=IwAR1DEi__piTUV0RgtOun0Uc8gCOcu8kdnYSm3XghGCrn7bnerpdaZDTv6So Thank you!
