I just got an email from Fligthbeam that within the next week, KSFO will be updated to version 3.0 (free) and will include VDGS at all gates.

SFO will be v3.0 but not free, and it'll be out eventually, VDGS will be added to present version of SFO.

Yes, it does work. Just make sure to update SODE to 1.6.8.

Best,

Its hit and miss on my system.

Forinstance it doesnt work at FT YSSY V2.1 but works at FT EKCH.

I dont have any GSX files at /Virtually,/GSX.

The green test bar doesnt show but i can move jetways anyway. 

The SODE manager log mention som error like windsocks at EKCH .

Help apreciated

Michael, the SODE VGDS is independent of GSX, different thing.  All relevant files are in your programdata\12pilots\sode folders. The FlyTampa installer will place xml files in the \xml folder such as FlyTampa_VGDS_YSSY.xml.  These xml files tell the VGDS dll module where to place and what type to place the model and distance to parking stop point.  Other than making sure you have the latest SODE modules, that they are registered and connected, and verifying that the scenery installer placed the xml files there is no other user interface.  I have observed that PMDG B747-8 does not work with SODE VGDS and their forum indicates they are aware and the fix is an easy one but I guess it's not high on their list.

Thanks i did all this as well , 

What is strange is that GSXL2 picksup the jetway as SODE VDGS and moves the jetway but SODE´s own system says no triggerable objects found within 6.5nm

Strange indeed , will try reinstall Sode 1.7.1 again
