GSX freezing after latest April 2023 updates

[garybarker]

Like a number of other users I too am experiencing similar issues of GSX freezing at several airports when boarding, which is still occurring after the supposed “fix” in April. I have also noticed that GSX is also freezing at some airports during the pushback process right at the point, where “tow truck is disconnected and bypass PIN removed”. I have FSX and have never had any of these issues prior to the most recent April/May 2023 updates being installed. Thanks.

Hi GSX Support.

Both Boarding and Pushback issues are now fixed after May 5th 2023 update. Thank you very much.

It just seems that I cannot get into FSDT KJFK V2 (New York) now, after the same update. I show error log below.
Could you please help with this also.

It just seems that I cannot get into FSDT KJFK V2 (New York) now, after the same update. I show error log below.

This has nothing to do with the update. You've installed the Addon manager and sceneries into a Windows protected directory, and if the sim isn't running as Admin it cannot update these directories. This is why you should not install there (and TBH, the FSDT software shouldn't try to write there, either).

Cheers

Luke

Hi Luke,

Thanks for getting back to me so promptly. I have been using FSX like this for years and have never had this problem before, as it only occurred after the latest updates ? The sim is running as Admin.
What would you suggest would be the best thing to solve this issue.

Thanks Gary
