I don't want Couatle to start automatically when the sim starts. Couatle regularly causes the Sim to crash. And yes: I have proof of that. And if you, Umberto, continue to claim that this is not possible, then I can call you a liar.
My GSX test scenario (unless otherwise stated):
Sandbox environment
GSX v 2.9.1 (as of 20 Jan 2023)
Fenix A320, PMDG 737-800, ATR-72
EDDL (JustSim), EDDK (Aerosoft), both not Marketplace
GSX jetways disabled
no AI traffic
no antivirus or firewall software running
all apps started in admin mode

@pete_auau:

Do you know what a sandboxed test environment is? If so, you know how I (to be correct: a specialized software engineer) established the evidence. If not, better stay quiet.

Hi,

Go to your sim's main folder (e.g. C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache)

Open the file "exe" with notepad.

Find couatl64_MSFS.exe line. Change the line says Disabled - False with ---> True and that will not be loading again.



<Launch.Addon>
        <Name>Couatl</Name>
        <Disabled>False</Disabled>
        <Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\Addon Manager\couatl64\couatl64_MSFS.exe</Path>
    </Launch.Addon>
    <Launch.Addon>
