GSX stops working in game. HELP!!!!!!! **SOLVED**

[Physics70]

Hello,

     Ok, so not matter what airport I start in, the same thing happens.  If I hit my hot key to bring up ground crew, it shows up for about 5 seconds then disappears.  After that happens, no matter how many times I hit the hot key, the GSX menu will not come back up.  If I try to bring it up for boarding this event happens.  If I wait to use ground crews for de-boarding when I land, it happens.  This has never happened before.  It was been working fine for a while.  I do know I upgraded my video card.  I am using an EVGA GFX 680.  I have updated video drivers.  I am also running Traffic 360 if that helps.  Again, it does not matter what airport I use.  The same thing happens.  The only thing that will let the menu come back up is exiting FSX and going back in just to have the same thing happen again.  Please help.

Try to enable logging in GSX Settings -> Troubleshooting, and restart FSX, than wait for the problem to appear, and exit.  Check the %APPDATA%\Virtuali\ folder if you have a Couatl.err file, and post it here.

Ok.  Here you go.

Loading airport LIRF from C:/ProgramData/FlightSimTools.com/Airport Wizard/scenery_FSX/scenery/LIRF_AirportWizard.bgl

That's the LOG FILE. Not the ERROR file.

Post the Couatl.err file.

[Physics70]

Ok.  Sorry.  No error file was created.  But I can say that not only does the GSX menu not come up when I hit the hot key after the services wont come up, the option for GSX is removed from the add-on menu as well.  (

[virtuali]

Perhaps this AFCAD file has a problem:

Loading airport LIRF from C:/ProgramData/FlightSimTools.com/Airport Wizard/scenery_FSX/scenery/LIRF_AirportWizard.bgl

Could you please try with a default airport using the stock AFCAD ?

Another possible reason could be: that "Airport Wizard" program might have its own AFCAD folder still open in write mode, this means no other program can open it, so GSX maybe it's lead into a crash, because Windows has denied it accessing that file, because is kept open and locked by the Airport Wizard.

[Physics70]

Actually I thing you are right.  I went to an airport not touched by airport wizard and there was no problem.  Ok  I uninstalled airport wizard but the manual says the file remail.  When I try to load GSX at an airport that was edited by the wizard, it wont work even thought I removed the wizard.  Suggestions?

That seems to indicate the problem is not really the Aiport Wizard being running and preventing the file to be opened, but that it creates AFCADs that are somehow not standard. Try to attach that .BGL on a post, so we can have a look at it.

[Physics70]

Where would the .BLG be located?

[virtuali]

The log file you posted, which I've quoted, had that information:

C:/ProgramData/FlightSimTools.com/Airport Wizard/scenery_FSX/scenery/LIRF_AirportWizard.bgl

[Physics70]

Here you go.

[virtuali]

I've tried your BGL, and it works normally. You said the ground crew disappears after 5 seconds, that might be caused by FSUIPC not updated, it can be fixed by setting this parameter in the FSUIPC4.INI file:

DeleteVehiclesForAES=No

OR

By using the latest FSUIPC version, which should make an exception and not removing FSDT objects because it recognize them.

[Physics70]

 The FSUIPC4.INI file is up to date.  I added the line to the .INI file.  No good.  (

DeleteVehiclesForAES=No

[virtuali]

The FSUIPC4.INI file is up to date.

The .INI doesn't matter, it's the FSUIPC program itself that must be updated, otherwise it won't understand that line in the .INI file.

[Physics70]

Yes.  I miss spoke.  The FSUIPC4 version is the most recent.  I am also using the registered version.
