COUATL scripting engine not starting in MSFS

[paul_lbg]

Good evening,

just bought GSX Pro for MSFS, the couatl scripting engine however doesn't seem to start. I tried with the Fenix A320 at Skiathos Airport by ORBX if that matters.

I’m getting the same error.

go to where you installed the "Addon manager" folder whilst installing GSX and in there you'll see a folder called couatl, go in there and you can run the program before starting MSFS

Same issue here, despite Couatl64_MSFS is running in the Task Manager.

yep, that was the case for me as well, I rather think it's a bug between the sim and couatl

Same issue here, despite Couatl64_MSFS is running in the Task Manager.

If it's just stuck, it's 100% a server problem. As you might now, we use Cloudflare to prevent the usual "site going down the release day", which happened to every other major release. Because of the Cloudflare network of 260 nodes spread around the world, we don't risk having the server put down, so NOBODY could download anything.

The side effect of this, is that it takes a few hours for all nodes to get all the current files, and this time we updated A LOT of files so, if you run the FSDT Live Update again, all right files will eventually be up.

A crucial file that, it not updated, will stop the program from working, is this one:

http://update.virtualisoftware.com/setup/fsdtroot/couatl64/bglmanx_fsdt.dat

If you can't get the latest version through the updater, because your Cloudflare node still has the previous version, downloading it from here should fix the problem. The file you downloaded MUST be placed in the following folder:

Addon Manager\couatl64

And overwrite the file with the same name which is already there. This should get you going, until the servers catch up.

Same here, installed Ok but nothing in MSFS Top menu. Run couatl for MSFS, restarted MSFS and nothing in menu

You don't say if you tried the file I posted in the message before yours.

Tried the above and still not working with the file. Not sure what's going wrong here, glad I'm not the only one though

[zyloah]

Not working for me with the file installed

Hello,
Also updated the file/rand the updater. No success, I can't see GSX in MSFS.
Regards

I have downloaded the file provided by you @virtuali, placed it as per instruction and still nothing. I have manually launched Couatl64_MSFS as an admin and the process was there until the flight loaded - as soon as I spawned in Fenix A320 at EPWA airport the process disappeared. When I lauch it when the sim is already running, nothing happens - I don't get that "COUATL scripting engine not starting in MSFS" message and neither I get a visible GSX window.

same problem here

[wingview]

Here same issue. I get the icon but when pressing it I get the same "COUATL scripting engine not starting in MSFS" message.

Same thing. Tried the file, tried the updater. Not working.
