Hi; I did a cursory search and couldn't find my specific issue. I purchased and installed Active sky today. I noticed that Active sky, initiated at the same time as P3d v5, disabled SODE, and no jetways were visible at any air ports. However, by starting Active sky after my flight is loaded, the problem disappears, unless I change airports.- any ideas?

I always start ASP3D first before the sim...I generally need it up well in advance to get wx for flight planning anyway.

My guess is that you're oversaturating Simconnect by starting them together, especially so if you're running a panel or other add-ons that also hit the interface.  ActiveSky doesn't do anything to disable SODE, but they do both load up the Simconnect interface at startup.  The bandwidth available to the interface is limited--more so on systems with more modest CPUs.
