Rare Couatl Error inbound to KSFO

Hi Umberto,

Around 6 miles out from KSFO 19L (older FlightBeam package) Couatl crashed on me and generated the following report...

Any idea what the problem might be? These crashes are pretty rare for me.

It seems you simply haven't installed the scenery. Or, some of its files has been corrupted/missing. Reinstalling the scenery should fix this.

I suggest to also reinstall the Stand-Alone Addon Manager (or the full GSX) after KSFO, because the installer of old version hasn't been updated to all the latest updates, so there's a risk that reinstalling it now might downgrade something.

Thanks Umberto. I'll do as you suggest.

Might be a coincidence but I did uninstall and reinstall GSX a couple of days ago on separate and unrelated matter.

This is happening to me, I did what you said but nothing stays the same problem, how do I?

I can only repeat and confirm what I already said in reply to this: it seems you simply haven't installed the scenery. Or, some of its files has been corrupted/missing. Reinstalling the scenery should fix this.

in this way you told me not working

[tosco92]

now it goes to me, but it makes me so:
Scenery.Cfg file error. local scenery directory (flightbeam/KSFO/Scenery) in scenery Area. 211 not found.

Scenery.Cfg file error. local scenery directory (flightbeam/KSFO/Scenery) in scenery Area. 211 not found.

That's an FSX message, which of course doesn't have anything to do with GSX or any of our software or Flightbeam, and it simply means you removed the folder without removing the scenery from the Scenery Library, which is something you should *always* do when removing a scenery.

Of course, the proper way to uninstall a scenery, is to run the UNINSTALLER, that (as with any other Windows program out there) can be found in the Windows Control Panel. If you ran the uninstaller, it would have removed *both* the scenery files AND the area entry in the scenery.cfg, so you wouldn't see the error.

Never remove files manually. Uninstaller are there for a reason...
