Hate to say this BUT, when you are missing the majority of the textures I think that is a problem, at least for the customer.
Still I can't see how that message could be seen as an "error", when it's just a progress text saying there's no need to do something.
You are right, downloading updates for something you haven't downloaded would be ridiculous. All I was doing though was using the coulta thing to update itself, nothing else, and it was downloaded and installed.
Program Files (x86)/microsoft games/microsoft flight simulator X/fsdreamteam/coualt/coualt_updater
You are not supposed to launch this file yourself, and nowhere in the program documentation we ever suggested to do so.
This updater will ONLY update code for the small Live Update fixes, typically by GSX, and it's launched automatically by the Live Updater program, if needed, when you give it the ok, from the sim, when notified.
I guess I didn't make myself clear, I did download AND install the three airports with the anti virus disabled/off and both the downloader and install stated that all three sceneries had been installed successfully.
No, I wasn't probably very clear, or you probably haven't paid enough attention to my previous reply. Downloading and installing with the antivirus disabled IS NOT ENOUGH.
As I've said in my previous reply, whenever there's a suspect the antivirus MIGHT be responsible, because the software hasn't started, you MUST also exclude the FSX folder from scanning!
That is supported by the fact that I have the same 3 airports installed in FS9, and they all show properly despite being downloaded, installed and run with my anti virus on and active.
This doesn't support anything, since our software is different between FSX and FS9, so you cannot assume that, just because your antivirus is not blocking the FS9 version, it will allow the FSX one.
1. why does "some of the scenery display" (jetways etc) but the terminals do not? As said, this problem is not confined to KORD but all 3 fsdt sceneries I have installed.
Because the software required to show the scenery hasn't started, and 99% of the cases, it's because of the antivirus blocking it.
Do you have BOTH the "Addon Manager" and the "Couatl" menus under the "Addons" menu ? Do you miss only one ? Which one ? Do you miss both ?
Have you been asked permission to run BOTH modules after starting FSX the first time ? Have you allowed them BOTH ?
