I have installed traffic X and some of my airports in fsx don't have any jetways such as EWR, CLT( some planes here park on the taxiway, and land on the same runway but landing in the opposite direction) , DCA, and some others. I think there is a problem and it needs to come out in the next service pack.

I've had the same problem, and it appears with the same airports. Charlotte, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Newark (although I recall *some* of the terminals *DO* have jetways), and probably quite a few others I haven't seen yet. I definitely remember all of those airports having jetways. I can't really confirm that TrafficX caused this change though. I also have Radar Contact and a few addon aircraft (although I doubt addon aircraft would cause scenery changes like this). Would you also happen to have Radar Contact?

What's odd about Pittsburgh is not only are the jetways missing, but it seems there's like only 8 gates the aircraft can even park in.

In checking the files for the airports you both mentioned above I can see the following:

1.The file provided by TrafficX for KEWR does have jetways.  Some of them appear to be set to appear at a scenery density of Dense, while others should appear only at Extremely Dense.

2. The file provided by TrafficX for Charlotte does not have any jetways at all.  The default one does.

3. As noted above, the file provided by TrafficX for Pittsburgh has no jetways and very few parking spots.  Disabling the TrafficX version of this airport would be a good idea.

4. Milwaukee - The TrafficX version of this airport does not have any jetways.

So it is indeed TrafficX that is causing the jetways to disappear in most of these cases.

How do you disable those airports?

The files are located in the .../JustFlight/TrafficX/Airport Facilities folder.  Somewhere in the file name will be the 4 letter ICAO code for the airport (Newark = KEWR).  When you find the file for the airport you want to disable just rename extention from .bgl to .bak.
