Couatl not working

[Fsxsimmer675]

Hi

I went to fly but GSX doesn't load and also FSDT sceneries don't load fully only the jetways

I resolved the problem for the time being byrunning the couatl.exe manually

Is there anway to fix it so it loads automatically ?

I'm on P3D newest version

Thanks

I resolved the problem for the time being byrunning the couatl.exe manually . Is there anway to fix it so it loads automatically ?

Couatl always loads automatically, since the installer will place its entry in the EXE.XML file.

If it's not loading automatically on YOUR system, perhaps you had a problem with your P3D folders and registry entries, possibly because you used the Migration Tool, which should never be used with installers that recognize P3D, because it will confuse the installer by making P3D to appear as if it were FSX.

If you use (or used in the past) the P3D Migration Tool, turn it off, then reinstall GSX in this mode.

Here is my exe file

First, by posting the XML file like that, we cannot check if it's truly ok. ZIP the file and post it as an Attachment.

Also, it might be possible you are not looking at the file FSX:SE is currently using, because this depends on the FSX:SE registry settings, and if and how you uninstalled FSX and if and how you uninstalled/reinstalled FSX:SE after uninstalling FSX. In which folder the XML was located ?

Then, it's also possible you might have not trusted the couatl.exe correctly. To fix this, do the following:

- Go into Control Panel, Uninstall GSX and reply YES to the questions "Do you want to remove the Addon Manager ?" and reply YES to the question "Do you want to remove the Couatl script engine ?"

- Reinstall GSX

- Note if FSX asks permission to run the Addon Manager and the Couatl programs, reply YES to both. PAY ATTENTION TO THIS.

Attached is exe.xml

Thanks

I specifically asked for the XML file to be ZIPPED first. There's IS a reason for this, and is to be absolutely sure the file is not changed when sending it on the forum.

And, could you please reply to the other question ? In which folder the XML was located ?

[Fsxsimmer675]

Exe is located in Users/Pcname/Appdata/Roaming/LockheedMartin/P3D V2/Located in there

Compressed folder is attached

[virtuali]

The EXE.XML file is fine. Do the other modules in it starts automatically ?

Try to disable all of them (except Couatl.exe, of course), by changing the <Disabled>False</Disabled> line in their section into <Disabled>True<Disabled>, so you can verify if there's a conflict with another addon.

[Fsxsimmer675]

I did what you said and GSX still doesn't show up

Your log shows that everything's fine, Couatl is loading correctly, and it's running with no errors.

Must be a bad EXE file or something then that isn't showing it in add ons or something

Since it IS running, no question about it ( otherwise we wouldn't see any log, and surely not a complete log with no errors) the only possible explanation of a missing menu, is that it cannot talk with P3D, which seems to indicate some kind of problem with Simconnect, either in the installation, or caused by another addon.

That's why I asked to try disabling every other addon in the XML files, try to do it even in the DLL.XML, disabled every other addon, except for the Addon manager (bglmanx.dll), and try again.

See this thread here about fixing Simconnect in P3D
