GSX not working (first time user)
« on: July 05, 2023, 12:17:54 pm »
hello!

Yesterday I went ahead and bought GSX as I absolutely loved the add-on when I used to flight sim in 2019. After completing the download I jumped onto the game excited to get a flight underway with GSX Pro and it was not there. during the download I didn't change anything I let it do it all as I assume I should.

I uninstalled and re installed and still no luck? I'm gutted and hope to find a solution here.

Im using the steam version, on External Hard drive and is formatted NTFS.

Thank you in advance!  :D

Please clarify what it's "not there":

- The toolbar menu is there, but doesn't open ?

OR

- There's no GSX toolbar menu at all  ?

No toolbar menu at all, sorry I didn't clarify that.

Is GSX reported as Installed in the FSDT Installer ?

Yes, I asked where you installed FSDT, normally the default location is in C:\Program Files (x86)\Addon Manager, but you are allowed to change it the first time you install it, so I asked, to know if you accepted the default or change it, and if you changed it, where.

Yep didn’t change it, that’s where it is, I accepted default location

Try to reset your Toolbar menu, with the last icon (the one with a wheel)

Just to be sure: you do have the two GSX packages in the Community folder, as Shortcuts instead of real folders (this is how they are supposed to be) ?
