Umberto - thanks for pointing out the manual page for the debugging.
I've updated to latest ver.
The issue persists:
- only in '24
- simobjects kept to a minimum (no extra clutter)
- Navdata issue? maybe, because of '24 differences?
- restarted couatl from toolbar after several minutes' menu load wait. No change in behaviour.
- couatl engine crash? no. it's active.
Sesssion (flight ) ended by terminating flight. MSFS '24 kept running, then exited normally to close the logging..
All logs and .INIs attached. couatl64_boot.log contains entries I find suspect, for your consideration:
2024-11-22 12:21:47: Process Couatl64_MSFS2024 started successfully with ID 51176
2024-11-22 12:21:47: Error obtaining processname: Access is denied
2024-11-22 12:21:48: Connected to Couatl64 shared memory
2024-11-22 12:22:02: Error obtaining processname: Access is denied
2024-11-22 12:22:03: EXCEPTION Access is denied
That doesn't look good to my amateur's eyes...
Comparing this from '24 versus a successful start in '20, the difference is the "error obtaining processname: access is denied"
again, thanks for your help.
