GSX Reindexing every time FSX starts **SOLVED**
« on: September 06, 2016, 11:22:30 pm »
Is it normal for GSX / Couatl to run its reindexing every time FSX:SP2 loads? I thought it would only do it with a change of scenery.

No, it's not. It should regenerate the cache only if you change something in the Scenery Library, which includes also enabling/disabling areas, even without adding new ones.

Do you use some kind of 3rd party utility to manage the scenery.cfg file ?

If you are sure your Scenery Library hasn't changed between session, the only possible explanation is that one of your scenery files is corrupted, so GSX cannot complete the cache regeneration, so it will do it again on the next startup.

If you enable Logging in the Troubleshooting page of the GSX setting, you should find something in the %APPDATA%\Virtuali\Couatl.LOG file that will be generated on the next startup, that will probably tell you what went wrong when regenerating the cache.

Thanks Umberto. The problem was KIAH. When I tried to load that airport I had numerous warning messages that a mdl file could not be loaded.

Googled the problem and I downloaded and installed an update to KIAH and GSX. Rebuilt the scenery indexes and now all is well.  ;D
