couatl.exe does not start **SOLVED**

[mikealpha]

I have a very weird problem, which happens only when starting P3Dv4 from the startup screen with FSLabs and any FSDT Airport (e.g. LFSB) selected. Then and only then couatl stops here ...  (from couatl.log...)

If I choose a non FSlabs plane or a non FSDT airport, it loads... (again from couatl.log)

....and so on

If I load everything sequencially (first Raptor default plane, then FSLabs via Vehicle Submenu in P3D, then LFSB via Navigation/Go to airport), then again couatl starts normally and remains active.
Do you have any idea what might happen. Is there anything else I could do to narrow the problem ?
FSLabs has it's special loading procedure, could it be a timing problem when an FSDT airport is involved ?
There is no virus scanner active, and Windows Defender is and Firewall are OFF.

Problem still not solved. I did a complete GSX reinstall, did not help. couatl stops here ...

As mentioned above, the Laptop has not seen a virus scanner yet. Windows defender and firewall turned off.
Teamviewer would be possible.

Tried it now, using two different situations:

1) default 737 at LFSB, changed to FS Labs A320 on the Scenario screen - GSX works with no problems.

2) FS Labs A320 as default on the Scenario screen at LFSB - GSX works with no problems.

In both cases, after the airport loaded, I tried 10 "Couatl Restart" from the menu, and it restarted all times.

an user found what was causing it, and we might have a fix in the current Live Update.
