COUATL SCRIPTING ENGINE HASN'T STARTED

[Harrier77]

When I select the GSX menu item in the MSFS toolbar I get the following message 'COUATL SCRIPTING ENGINE HASN'T STARTED'.

The installation of GSX seems ok based on the FSDT Universal Installer information.

Is there another step to perform before starting MSFS?

Are you able to start it manually from its icon ?

[Harrier77]

Sometimes it starts manually, sometimes not. Even with it started manually I get the same message.

Should I see anything apart from the Couatl Debug Window information?

You mean you got a window with an error ? What is it ?

[Harrier77]

I'm sorry but I don't follow you.

The only error message I see is the message that COUATL SCRIPTING ENGINE HASN'T STARTED.

You mentioned a "Couatl Debug Window", so I assumed you saw... a Window. So no, you don't have any window then.

- open the Notepad and type the following on a new blank file:

logFile=couatl.log

(please note logFile is written beginning with a lower case L and a capital F )

- Save the file as couatl_MSFS.ini in the %APPDATA%\Virtuali folder

- Restart Couatl from the Tray Bar or start it from its icon on the Desktop

- Check your %APPDATA%\Virtuali folder and if there's a Couatl.LOG file there, post its content

I have just tried again and I have attached the full log.

From your log:

Exception while creating airport cache: CreateFile failed: Access is denied: "\\?\C:\Users\gener\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community\justsim-airport-lfmn-nice\scenery\LFMN.BGL" (system:5)

This file must have a problem, maybe it's corrupted or has been locked from reading, so it prevents the completion of the airport cache, and without it, GSX can't work.

Hi Umberto,

Could you please have a look at my log file. I have been at this for 12 hours and still can't get it to work.

I've tried starting coatl from the start menu, also while in the sim, but it just shuts down.

Cheers

I have taken out the offending airport together with other third-party add-ons except for ones like Fenix, FS2Crew, and PMDG.

I still have the same problem, COUATL SCRIPTING ENGINE HASN'T STARTED.

I attach the latest log file.

Your version of GSX pro is not up- to - date.

This show‘s in your log file.

[Harrier77]

So how do I sort this out?

I only updated GSX Pro about one hour ago.
