Author Topic: GSX not showing up in sim menu (P3D V4.5) SOLVED (Read 3452 times)

CaptainSazzman · « **on:** February 12, 2021, 10:29:35 pm »

Today (12FEB2021) I ran the couatl update to reset some files I had customised but when I restarted P3D, all the GSX options are missing from the addon menu. I don't know why this is happening yet but I suspect the live update installer messed something up. Does anyone have an idea about this? Everything was working fine until I ran the updater.~

I did a clean re-install and that changed absolutely nothing.

I have the same problem and really need help here.
No GSX inside P3Dv4.5 menu Addons.
FSDT Live Update & FSDT GSX Control Panel seem to work.
Uninstalled Visual C++ 2005/2013/2015, reinstalled, restarted Windows, run P3Dv4.5 and same result: No GSX inside P3Dv4.5 menu Addons.
Tks

The problem is most likely your antivirus if you have already checked the visual C++. Make sure you antivirus scanner and firewall allow couatl.exe (couatl.exe64 too) full access.

For me, the problem was my antivirus webscanner (not firewall or virus scanner) that was blocking the bglmanx. file.

Please go to your GSX installation folder, open every file with bglmanx in the name with notepad and tell me what you see (no need to post it here). If the file is ok, it should be encrypted gibberish.

Tks for answering so soon.
Followed your instructions and there is a lot of gibberish as you wrote.
A dumb question but need to ask anyway.
Where can I allow full access to couatl.exe & couatl.exe64?

That's a good sign. Try completely disabling your antivirus and firewall, run the LiveUpdate and see if GSX works.

To allow full access, go into your antivirus and tell it to leave couatl.exe and the entire addon manager folder alone.

Tks again.
Followed an instruction about running SimConnect again.
Went to firewall and allowed both couatl and couatl64
It worked.
