COUATL scripting engine not starting in MSFS

[virtuali]

I can only confirm this problem is due to a delay of your local node to get the correct file. We refreshed it multiple times by now, and many users reported that after a while, it eventually arrived.

Try to empty your browser cache, it might help.

Good job FSDreamteam...same issue here...couatl not working although i started it...no show, also updated the .dat file in the Couatl64 directory...no show...busy for whole afternoon.

Also i have read (after purchase) that it doesn't work in VR....did not see that warning before purchase.

I know FSDT is widely known by statements that it is always a users fault / mistake and never the fault of FSDreamteam so i will also immediatly give up...as nowadays appears to be normal with some FS addons....waste of money.

Very very disappointing.....

I don't know what you are trying to say, you can search ALL threads here, and you won't find A SINGLE case of anybody saying it's the "user's fault", and that's a fact everybody can see.

All problems are surely caused by server caching being slow to catch up with this huge release, that contain 25000 files that need to be replicated on 260 servers. How this explanation translates into saying it's "user's fault", I really don't undertand.

Multiple user confirmed they eventually got all the correct files.

So I was able to load up in Denver.  Repositioned from one gate to another twice.  Then the gsx menu would no longer appear.  Exited to the sim menu.  Restarted.  Attempted to click gsx
"Couatl scripting engine hasn't started"

ideas?

Does it start if you start it manually with its desktop icon ? Also, it would be best if you enable Logging in the GSX Settings, so if it happens again, you can check the log and see if there was an error.

Will deleting the Addon Manager folder remove all FSDT products for MSFS and P3d?  I  have many in P3d and wonder if there is a workaround to save those?

Why not just reinstall them using their installers ?

In which you found a post which ended assessing that yes, it was user fault, and another user closed it with:

"You should modify your arrogant attitude. GSX Level 2 functions perfectly without problems otherwise thousands of users would be complaining. It is obvious you have a problem with your system. Do as Umberto says and he will solve your problem"

This was direct at that user, of course. You just made my point, than you very much.

I'm also getting the "COUATL scripting engine not starting in MSFS" error and when clicking on the "GSX" entry in the toolbar, nothing happens beside showing the mentioned error.

"Couatl64_MSFS.exe" is running elevated as the FlightSim. I have added the "logFile=couatl.log" to Couatl.ini in "%AppData%\Virtuali", however no log file is being written besides Couatl.err.

I have uninstalled GSX Pro completely, removed "%AppData%\Virtuali\UpdateCache", cleared my Browser Cache and reinstalled it with the latest FSDreamTeam Live Installer and made sure that "bglmanx_fsdt.dat" is matching with the file mentioned in the earlier posts. The Simlinks for "fsdreamteam-gsx-pro" and "fsdreamteam-gsx-world-of-jetways" are present in the Community Folder and pointing to the MSFS Folder within Addon Manager. So far, no success and the same error remains.

I'm residing in Switzerland if it helps pinpointing the Cloudflare Node, if it is of any relevance.

I noticed that the same files are being downloaded by FSDT Live Updater whenever I run it. Is that expected?

Anything more I can try without uninstalling the entire FSDreamTeam Product line? Thanks

[virtuali]

"Couatl64_MSFS.exe" is running elevated as the FlightSim. I have added the "logFile=couatl.log" to Couatl.ini in "%AppData%\Virtuali", however no log file is being written besides Couatl.err.

That's because for MSFS, the file must be named Couatl_MSFS.INI, to differentiate from P3D. It's important to get a log, to be sure if the problem is in fact caused by outdate files.

[sde91]

Sorry, my bad regarding the INI file. Created the correct one, fired up the sim again, tried to launch GSX via the Toolbar, same behavior as described above.

Log file, which has now been created, is attached with a screenshot from the SIM.

[virtuali]

I see your log was created during cache rebuild, so it's not entirely unexpected it might not work the first launch. What if you just restart again ?

[sde91]

Tried again. Fresh Sim launch, same behavior as before. New log attached.
