I've noticed that now under some conditions, GSX in MSFS can stop responding, but not in an obvious way.
What I mean is that the menu can be opened and interacted with, but pressing buttons will do nothing. Even pressing "Restart Couatl" will do nothing. It will close the window, but the Couatl engine remains up, and does not restart.
I checked logs and it does appear to be a permissions issue on my end. Although I've only noticed this behaviour on the most recent version of GSX, nothing has changed, and the folder has fully open permissions.
However, the point I am making here is that its clear GSX is stuck in some kind of infinite loop, crash loop or some other form of error state and is not notifying the user, and is unable to recover.
This is a sporadic issue, sometimes I am able to go through my flows just fine. Other times, i encounter this issue. I would say it impacts about 20% of my flights. It is also not restricted to any one aircraft. I've had it occur across multiple airframes.
I've attached the log files to the post. Note that Copy (2) and Copy (3) occurred within minutes of each other.
Perhaps there is a solution to the permissions issue that I'm encountering and I'm all ears for that, but the main thing I'm trying to raise here is that GSX is getting into a failure state that locks up the program, but gives no prompt or indication to the user that something is wrong.
