Then I can only refer to earlier posts in this thread, which say to:

- Configure the antivirus to exclude the whole Addon Manager folder from scanning.

AND

- Be sure your VC++ libraries are all installed, see this post here, in this same thread:

Hello,

is there any option of getting GSX work in P3D V4.0? For different reasons I don't want to upload to newer versions yet, but I would like to continue using GSX. Hope there is a solution.

Thanks in advance.

No, there isn't.

I'm sorry, but we require features of the SDK which have been added in 4.1 so, there's just no way we can support 4.0 anymore now.

But, don't you have a back up of older updates? Couldn't you offer two download types? For example one for v4.0 and older, another for v4.1 and newer.

This problem doesn't exist with other addons like PMDG, AS,... We can continue using them, and it's a pity not to have the same option with GSX, even more not being free.

Thanks again.

No, because we cannot offer proper support, if we cannot be sure you are using the latest version of the software, and all our products are depending on you having everything updated.

The problem DOES exist with other addons, maybe not those you listed but other, like the latest FS Labs, requires 4.1 or even 4.2 I believe. Even the latest FSUIPC doesn't work with 4.0 anymore, which means A LOT of addons depending on it will not work either:

https://forum.simflight.com/topic/80977-updated-modules/

Quote
IMPORTANT: 5.124 and later versions are only suitable for use with P3D version 4.1 and later!  They will not work correctly with version 4.0.

Latest Aerosoft CRJ requires 4.3!!

http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/137632-crj-service-pack-1-v120-available-now/

Quote
The 64-bit version of CRJ Service Pack 1 has been built with the latest Prepar3D v4.3 SDK tools. Therefore, Prepar3D 4.3 is a requirement for its use.


So no, it's not true the problem "doesn't exists with other addons", because it does, and it won't be much longer before nobody will support 4.0. Time to upgrade.

Thanks for the information Umberto.

Anyway, let me make it clear that I have said "other addons like", not "all the rest of the addons". I was referring only to those I use and therefore I know them, and haven't given me any problems yet.

I'll have to update then. Thanks.

Yes, but the way you wrote it, it sounded as if we were the only weirdos requiring an updated P3D, when in fact, it's quite common, and other products require even newer versions that we do.

I reinstalled all VC++ redist but it gives nothing.
However I unchecked in Addon Manager this option:

Please clarify, do you mean if you don't uncheck it, you don't get the crash ?

Here's an update.  I've finally managed to get all of the visual c++ files installed, and I installed the GSX expansion pack again.  After a reboot and some tweaks and clean up, the scenery, along with couatl is running fine.  I think I'm finally all set.  For the first time I'm getting this scenery to run properly. :)  Thanks for the help.

GSX was working fine for me in Windows 10/P3Dv4.4 until the GSX menu just randomly disappear. Addon Manager was showing; however, it showed all FSDT products as suddenly unregistered.

With all of the aforementioned libraries installed and Live Update unsuccessful, I tried a re-install of KLAX and this solved the problem. Back in business.

Hi guys,
Well I must say I'm at the end of my patience with the problem, that on my P3D v4.5 system running win 10 64 bit I cannot get the addon to appear in the P3D Add_ons menu (after many uninstalls)
I apologise if I'm not doing something properly,but I've tried to install into my base directory C: ProgramFiles (x86) and also in my P3D drive J:
Please can you advise what I may be doing wrong
BTW FYI with my Bitdefender system shut off for download and installation
I currently have the addon folder sitting in my P3D directory (I was looking to try out the level 2 software too)
Any comments/help and advice would be most welcome thanks
Keith

Do you see it at least in the Options->Add-on menu ?
