Does the aircraft work in other scenarios like other airports?

Looks like the sam.xml has a marshaller entry but the scenery doesn't have the SAM2 object. SAM3 marshallers don't need any config but if you still have an "empty" entry in your sam.xml it will be indicated.

There is absolutely no code difference between Vulkan and OpenGL. You didn't said what exactly is not working so you may give us more information including your SAM log file to identify the issue properly.

[20.14.44] [airportdb:critical] !! Default scenery directory is improperly configured! SAM will NOT work correctly! Please review the configuration file for correct values. That looks strange. If there is no menu entry that means that the SAM_Library folder couldn't be inizialized.

Please post your entire log.

I was refering to the windows installation

Did you try disabling GndHandling plugin?

Well if you don't use SAM you shouldn't install it anyway I'll forward that to the dev team but don't think there is any room for improvement.

I don't think that this reflects the total init time of XP because other things happen in between. 30 Seconds sounds reasonable for such a big data manager like SAM but if you want to make sure you could try booting without any other plugin except SAM to see if that improves the speed. If yes you probably have another plugin installed that is data heavy.

That happens on initial installation because we read the entire default airport file and set up our definitions for taxiways etc. Once that database is ready it will stay unless you install a new airport. That one will be added to the db file on startup. But the more SAM sceneries you have the longer the startup takes - obviously. You can post your log from SAM/logs. It will print the times for each action. In my case it takes around 15 seconds: [11.44.43] [logger:info] Logger wakes up [11.44.43] [plugin:info] SAMv3.0.13 [11.44.43] [plugin:info] using modern driver: false [11.44.43] [plugin:info] Removing residual temp dir...

Can you please type the email adress into your browser URL and then copy it from there without any blank space? If that still doesn't work please open a ticket via support@stairport-sceneries.com and add you purchase email.

We will release a SAM update which gives you the ability to mix SAM2 and 3 behaviors with these options: Override jetway limits (default in SAM3: allowing to connect jetways even if they are out of range) Force use of scenery config (new in SAM3: even if override limits is activated it will stick to the config of a scenery if one is present)

I suspect this to be the issue: Loaded: C:\Users/Ron/Desktop/X-Plane 11/Resources/plugins/GndHandling/win.xpl This plugin seems to have some kind of incompatibility with SAM. Users on discord repordet they got an updated version which works with SAM. Try disabling it and see if that fixes the issue.

Do you have FlightBeam KPDX installed? If yes open the scenery folder and delete the plugins sub-folder.

So which aircraft are you loading? Did you try another? And did you try another airport?

It's included in the 3.0.13 release (we forgot to put it into the changelog).

Done.

So you are trying to activate SAM3, is that correct?

Please use SAM3, SAM2 is not supported anymore. https://stairportscenerieshelp.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/77000004353-installation

Does that happen all the time or under a specific trigger? And can you please try resizing the SAM window? maybe that helps.

Just one thing. In one screenshot I can see that the jetways have yellow pipes. That indicates that these are static ones as we killed these object parts ofr a better animation. Could you please enable the debugging mode for your test cases to see if you get a green or yellow line from the jetway center to the door like in my screenshots? If not WorldJetways is not working properly.

Is it possible that you didn't activate this? However I can't connect LF2 as well so we'll investigate.
