PMDG 777 - Seated passengers breaking model

[Alexair]

Well, a bit strange then, because when I change the lines to :

exterior = ../../pmdg 777-300ER/Behaviors/PMDG773ER_EX.xml
interior = ../../pmdg 777-300er/behaviors/pmdg773er_vc.xml

then everything is working fine.

Basically I'm just changing the first line from "exterior = PMDG773ER_EX.xml" to "exterior = ../../pmdg 777-300ER/Behaviors/PMDG773ER_EX.xml" then it's working. Do you think it's my firewall/antivirus that prevent the first line to be modified by GSX ?

then everything is working fine.

Of course it works, but that doesn't mean the modification made by the installer is "wrong" because, as I've said already, IT IS correct. 

The problem is NOT the modification ( which is correct ), the problem is you should have a copy of PMDG773ER_EX.XML file there in that folder, which is made by the installer, and it normally does it, so the issue is why it doesn't on your system.

I have a copy of this file in the texture folder, it's just the line I mentioned that is not updating.

I tried GSX passengers for the first time today, ALL of my PMDG 737-800s and All of my Ifly 737 Maxs are now broken. I'm running the latest GSX, I have run the checks and I've tried checking and unchecking the pax box to fix and tried just unchecking it all together. Still broken. I am not willing to modify files as I should not have to, the program should work correctly.

What I would like to know is how to fix my airplanes and use them without the pax feature enabled.

Side note: I've been working 20 days straight and have only today for simming and I'm spending it fixing this instead of flying my cartoon airplane. I hope you can understand the frustration this causes.

Another side note, next day: Now my Coualti doesn't even start so ....more wasted time.

Yes I have this issue also with my pmdg 777 and737 aircraft and some of the maddog x planes. Not sure just came out of nowhere and all I can do is disable the seated passengers to fix it. I'm hoping someone comes up with a fix for this. I'm not that good at going in and changing config files around.

Thank you

I also disabled passengers put it didn't fix mine. I spent a few hours uninstalling and reinstalling aircraft and liveries and rebinding Ifly controls. Whole day wasted, squeezed in one short flight last night now I'm back to working the next couple weeks before I can sim again. I'm not super heartbroken that I can't use the passengers, but I am a little irate that checking a box ended up wasting so much of my time AND would like to know exactly why it occurred.

As I confirmed multiple times, there are no issues whatsoever with any PMDG airplane, they are all correctly patched and they are all working.

That is, of course, assuming you are using the current version of the installer. Fact somebody said "Couatl doesn't start", suggests a possible same root cause: not getting the latest version of the installer AND Couatl not starting, possibly because the antivirus blocking both so, configure the antivirus to exclude the whole Addon Manager folder and try again.

Also, if you had issues with PMDG caused by an OLD version of the FSDT Installer, just updating the installer won't fix this, you need to uninstall/reinstall the airplane.

I fixed my pmdg aircraft problem, I totally removed both 777 and 737 and all liveries. Did a reinstall now GSX works perfect. thanks for the help

All requirements met, new installer, GSX 3.3.2, antivirus exception and passengers broke the Ifly 737. Let's assume the mistake is on my end; what exactly is GSX, assuming I have something wrong, doing to my Ifly installation to cause this issue that would not occur if I had everything on my end correct?

passengers broke the Ifly 737.

Impossible to say more without precise reproduction steps as in, which models were affected, which liveries, etc.
