GSX "crashing" when requesting pushback.

[OtanerBR]

Hello, guys. Newer user here!

I'm having issues with my pushback in several aiports. Normally occurs when the parking space does not have "Left/Right" option, only straigh pushback.

Every time that i request pushback, a message appears as follows:

"The addon pushBack.py is causing the Couatl scripting engine to restart.
Please download and install the latest Stand-alone Addon Manager from FSDream team bla bla bla (the HTTP adress).

Do you want to open log to see error details?"

I use the YES button and after that, the message is to reload the couatl. I click YES and try to request the pushback again... same error.

How can i resolve the problem? I've download this stand alone a few times this week, every time that crash.

It is more irritating that my "5 minutes rebuilding airport cache" in every single time that i open the FSX.

Here is the LOG FILE. And thanks in advance,

Since the error seems to indicate a defect in the scenery AFCAD, it should be the opposite, since the Straight pushback option doesn't use the scenery AFCAD.

Please indicate precise, exact, reproduction steps. The airport, the gate used and, possibly, if this happens on a default airport.

This, alone, would indicate a problem in your FSX installation. GSX is NOT supposed to recreate the airport cache "every single time" !!! The ONLY case when GSX recreates the cache, is when you install a new scenery, or if you make a change to your Scenery Library.

Do you change the Scenery Library before each flight, or have some kind of external utility that does that ?

Another reason of a constant cache rebuild, is a corrupted scenery file.

And, even if there was a reason to recreate the cache at each startup, 5 minutes is NOT normal. The most common cause for this, is not having added the simulator folder to the antivirus exclusion list so, your antivirus is trying to scan *each* and every .BGL in your simulator, just because GSX is reading from them.

It shouldn't take more than 20-30 seconds, even with a large number of sceneries installed. It takes 4-5 seconds on my system, with only FSDT sceneries installed.
