Also tried doing the offline installer, then live update

I think I said already you should never to do this, if you need the Offline installer, it must be the last thing you run, otherwise is useless. And, of course, you need to download it again each time we have an update. Even if you downloaded today, we had already some updates to it after that so, be sure you download it again now, and run *just* the Offline installer.

Sorry, I meant Live, then Offline...I'll give it a shot. Thanks for your patience.

Yeah so I tried it all over and same error.  Is it possible you can send me instructions for a clean install or rather what all I need to delete to start over? I had to run the offline installer months ago and worked flawlessly, but this time I'm just bugged.

Same issue is happening to me. Used the live update first, tried the check option on the FSDT installer, then tried the offline updater. Each time on MSFS start (which is being done normally from windows not through another app) I get the error.

I just unlinked, uninstalled GSXPro to give that a try as well...Launched MSFS, got the error...So I downloaded a fresh offline install and ran the addon manager.exe..relaunched MSFS, still the error. I'm going to try a flight after restarting Couatl via the error prompt...but hope we can figure it out down the road.

I cannot reproduce the error but, looking at your logs, it seems the simulator started without being ready to accept Simconnect commands yet. Since I cannot reproduce the problem, I must try a fix "in the blind", try running the Live Updater again now, and see if it makes any difference.

And please, do not open a new thread, when one (to which I merged your posts into now) with an identical title has already been open just today.

It fixed it! Thank you so much! You wasn't to blind trying to help us! Thank you again...Hope it helps the others too...no more error! I'm going to restart my computer and try again just to make sure, and prepare for a 13 hr flight while I sleep. Thanks again for your time in helping us! What was it that seemed to be the problem if I can ask?

Thanks again for your time in helping us! What was it that seemed to be the problem if I can ask?

Apparently, in your systems ( this might be system-related, as in how many add-ons you have and how much time it takes to start the sim ), the simulator was basically lying to us, saying it loaded the main menu, so it theory it should have been completely loaded and ready to accept Simconnect commands, but in fact it wasn't, so I just made a check for that condition, and delayed the Simconnect request for the airplane Title, which is required to support the airline Variation, which is now happens later.

Yeah I'm not sure. I haven't had the problem before like this, and don't usually add to many addons...Just happened to stop working when I updated to 2.6.2 today...Glad it's working. I just restarted the computer, and sim, and it works fine now.  ;D

The Simconnect request for the airplane Title at that particular time has been added to this version, because before GSX didn't support [Variation] liveries, it always read the aircraft.cfg from the base model, that's why you never had it before.
