I was using gsx fine until 6 days ago, I got this message while fsx se was loading. And when I start the sim, gsx wasn't in my add on, I can only see FSUIPC. I went to the sdk I installed all the sim still the same problem. I went to the lib and install that sim.as well. I also install the sim.under sp1. Nothing change. I uninstall the xpack than reboot fsx. The sim error went away buy gsx was still missing from my add on. I've been searching the Web for the past 5 days, and cannot find a fix. Please help.

When you installed the sim, did you install simconnect?

First, if you use FSX:SE, you should NOT install or uninstall ANY of the Service Packs, since they are already contained in FSX:SE. The ONLY thing you should install, is the XPack/SP2 Simconnect client, which you don't even have to do manually, because the GSX INSTALLER will automatically install for you.

If, instead, you Uninstall xpack, as you said you have, NO 3rd party product that requires the XPack/SP2 Simconnect client, and GSX is one of them, will ever work.

Which means:

- Under regular FSX, if you uninstall either the SP1 or the XPack/SP2 for any reason, you MUST reinstall them.

- Under FSX:SE you should NEVER, EVER install ANY of the Service Pack, and install ONLY the XPack/SP2 Simconnect Client, which can be done even while installing GSX, because it will install it automatically.

I install the xpack and uninstall the others nothing work. I uninstall steam and do a factory recovery on my pc. Then reinstall steam and fsx se. Soon I down gsx I got that same message. I don't know what to d next?

I figure what the probleM was. Some 3rd party add on can't be install in the Steam folder other wise they would throw off adds on that uses sp2 or xpack. I uninstall xpax and install it in the c folder now everything works. The can't init simconnect error is gone. After a week and some days I got it to work. For Xpax to work I had to install sp1 under sdk/utility core
