For sure a leftover of another/older or not correct uninstall of another scenery. Check the SODE folder for double entries. Best is a complete uninstall of ENGM, remove manually any leftovers of ENGM, do fresh install, make sure that the settings in the ENGM configurator are correct.

Just to add to what Otto has already written, when running the ENGM configurator make sure that the sim isn't running when applying the changes, as this can prevent the configurator from swapping/removing files.
Seeing two jetways can be an indication of both the SODE jetways and the Static jetways being installed at the same time.

Thank you for the help in solving my issue. I have uninstalled EMGM, looked for for "extra" files and then reinstalled. After cleaning out the SODE xmls, I had no gates after the reinstall of ENGM. I added back the "aerosoft_ENGM_SODE_Jetways XML and again, I have double gates.

Yes, that looks like it's a leftover from an old installation of Oslo so you can remove it. If you have Oslo installed just Prepar3Dv5 you should only see the three xml files with the "_P3Dv4v5" suffix.

In particular, I have the SODE jetways installed, basically the way described in the SODE download manual coming with the files for the configurator. Im on the latest EDDK version and therefore, I downloaded the latest SODE files for V1.0.9(.0). Put it into EDDK scenery folder-> Configuration Tool -> Library.

Contained in the SODE package were two folders (SODEScenery which contains further two folders called STATIC_AC_1 and STATIC_AC_2, each containing a .bgl file; XML containing two folders with exactly the same name as before and each of them contains one xml file) and one .cfg file called EDDK_Config_SODE (however this one is empty). Before installing the new jetways, I did a complete unistall of the jetways via the option in the configurator and then put the new SODE files but removed any further file which was in the SODE folder before putting the new ones in. Then activated the SODE jetways via the configurator again. This is what gives me the red crosses at every jetway position now.
Further information: In my 12bpilot -> SODE ->SimObjects folder I cant find any EDDK folder, however in SODE -> xml I can find "aerosoft_EDDK_SODE_Jetways.xml"

EDIT: Version 1.1.0.0 of EDDK is installed according to Aerosoft updater, however, no matter where I look, I can only find SODE jetways for V.1.0.9.0. Aerosoft Shop still stated current EDDK version is V1.0.9.0. There must be some kind of pretty strange problem at some point.

SODE folder looks like this, yes, activated in the configuratos, yes. I also had that black window with some bunch of programming text or whatever that is running through when saving changes for SODE jetways.

add-on.xml is like starting with Scenery, then Texture, Scripts, Effects and then SimObjects. for path in SimObjects there is not written "SimObjects" just like shown in your picture. I changed the path to the corresponding path now, where the models are installed. (Cologne-Bonn Professional - P3Dv5 -> SimObjects -> EDDK_Jetways). Maybe this was the issue? Im gonna check right away once I have landed.

Hi, try setting the path for simobjects to SimObjects as seen in Bob's post,
The reason why you see the red X's is that SODE isn't able to locate those simobject files, so an issue with the path is the likely culprit for this.

This one is not installed (I dont even own it so my setting is at Default/High. I can of course check what the situation looks like with FTX option switched on. Will report back in a second. However, apart from that, no matter that we are on the AS forums here, could we refrain from calling others products "stuff" please?
