Here's the log with the exe that you gave me.

I have tried several re-installs, running couatl as admin and even updating the engine and i am still getting this error when at default airports. I haven't ever had this issue with P3D, is there a plan to fix this?

Sorry, but the link I gave you is not the right version, could you please download it again and do the log again ?

[Frodo2690]

Here you go. I've notice will the logs is that the Airport cache are not valid, is that an error?

You made this log with the standard version, likely because you updated, so it overwrote the testing version I linked before. Download it again and try again making a log.

 I download from the link you sent me, and this is the log.

Hi, is there some explanation of where GSX looks for the user.cfg file? I've tried looking in where I've found online, but I don't actually have a user.cfg, or any files, in the folder in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\, just the empty folder structure. Is this perhaps the issue?

It is under %USERPROFILE%\AppData\roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator for me

Yes for Steam version the UserCfg file it's under %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator (the same as %APPDATA%\Microsoft Flight Simulator)

otherwise is in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache
(or %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache)

Hi, I've actually managed to fix the issue.
I had previously installed MSFS using Xbox Game Pass, but then uninstalled and reinstalled via Steam.
When I uninstalled from the Microsoft Store ir left behind the previous file structure in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\, but empty. It seems GSX looked for the UserOpt.cfg in this file, but didn't move onto the steam install location for MSFS after it discovered the Micrtosoft one existed.
When I deleted the entire file structure from the old install it imediately worked.

Ok so I tried the option above and that fixed it, now to fix the coult engine hasn't started problem.

check to see if you have this: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe. If you do delete it.

GSX is working for me now. Thank you Benjwir and also thank you Umberto for your help with this.

For some reason i can't delete the file even though i am running as admin in the app data local packages file
