It doesnt start automatically since the update.
Which is why, I said it starts manually, the problem doesn't have anything to do with it, since the automatic startup is not under our control, and you can see more informations about the thread I've linked.
As for simbrief, The red box says "Reload simbrief" and below it says "Can't connect to simbrief"
That can be caused by:
- A firewall blocking the connection from GSX to Simbrief. Be sure no firewall is doing that, eventually disable it entirely, if only to confirm the problem is the firewall.
- A momentary issue on Simbrief
- Your Simbrief username not set correctly. It must be your username ( also called Alias ), not the Pilot ID ( the number )
- An expired flight plan. Simbrief keeps the last generated plan only a few days, then it expires, so you need to generate it again.
