GSX Main Menu Failed to load MSFS2024
« on: April 11, 2025, 01:43:10 am »
I've followed the suggested fixes in previous posts on the forum aswell as the manual. Restarting the couatl engine, which results in it not starting up again and having to restart the sim to see anything else then engine failed to start. When starting GSX upon spawning it says "loading main menu" for about 2 seconds before switching to failed to load. I'm on the latest version of GSX.

GSX Manual, Page 97, has all the suggestions and all known solutions to this issue.

I can only repeat and confirm it doesn't happen here, and in case it does, any one of the solutions in the manual at Page 97 will work. That is, assuming the Couatl engine IS running in the first place. Because if it's not, nothing you read at Page 97 will help you, the relevant page is the general Troubleshooting at Page 95, which discusses cases where the Couatl engine is not even starting.

Also, be absolutely sure you have the latest version, so run the FSDT installer again using  the CHECK option and, if you suspect something might not be updated online (because you see the same files being downloaded over and over), try the OFFLINE installer after performing a normal update.

I've managed to confirm that GSX is running given that the VDGS are on and working. But the menu still refuses to load. Ive reinstalled it via the offline updater aswell as to online updater, but nothing. I've turned my vehicle spawn rate settings to off to use the lowest possible amount of simobjects, yet the menu still doesnt want to load. I also get a MSFS window bar everytime I open the menu, which requires a game restart to get rid of. I'm starting to crazy on why its not willing to work.

Just don't try to restart too early on the first startup after an update, it's NORMAL it will take longer, and if you keep restarting too quickly, you are forcing a model cache rebuild over and over again, causing the problem.

Also, be sure you haven't done this:
