GSX Regenerating Cache

[haztronic]

Since I bought GSX about a month ago, every time I load up at an airport in any kind of aircraft it always says "regenerating airport cache" and it lasts for about 3-4 minutes. I do not know how to stop this so I was wondering if anybody could help me.

Cheers.

That's not normal, and it's indicating some kind of permission problem on your user account (in this case, try running FSX As Administrator once) or a defective/corrupted scenery AFCAD which is causing GSX to abort the cache creation.

Try to enable logging in the "Troubleshooting" page of the "GSX - Settings" menu, and let it run once, then post your Couatl.LOG found in the %APPDATA%\Virtuali folder.

There seems to be two problems at the same time:

Airport cache not valid: got error CreateFile failed: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process (system:32), accessing C:/ProgramData/Virtuali/Couatl/files.bin

This seems to be caused by another product, most likely an antivirus, which is blocking access to the C:\ProgramData folder.

CreateFileMapping failed because the file has size 0 (system:0) accessing BGL file C:/FSX/Scenery/0702/scenery/giza_image.bgl, file ignored

This seems to be caused by that file in the default scenery which has been corrupted, so it's now 0 bytes in size. Either remove it, or try to restore it from the FSX original disk. If you are not interested to the default Giza scenery, it's easier to just remove it.

Deleting the .bgl seems to have done the trick

Cheers.

Deleting the .bgl seems to have done the trick

This also solved my problem with the cache regeneration each time I began a flight. I had four zero byte .bgl files in a freeware addon scenery. Deleting those fixed the issue.

Thanks for the solution.
