Menu does not appear.
« on: October 03, 2013, 02:48:57 pm »
Hello!I I live in Russia. I use your program for a long time. But recently it stopped working adequately. Very long reads the cache airport. After 100% I use CTRL+F12. The message: "not find valid data at this position, services are not available". I took all the advice found in this section of the forum. I don't know what to do! Help me please! I really don't want to reinstall FSX! I have already found a lot of additions and I feel sorry for all the break. Thanks in advance.

- Be sure you use the most current GSX version. If not sure, download the full installer again and install that one

- Delete your scenery caches by removing the following folders:

C:\ProgramData\Virtuali\GSX
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX\SceneryIndexes

This will force FSX and GSX to rebuild both their caches.

Thanks for the reply. I have no "C:\ProgramData\Virtuali\GSX". I have "C:\ProgramData\Virtuali\Couatl. In Couatl there are 3 files: airports.bin, files.bin, meta.txt. And C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX\SceneryIndexes I already deleted.

Yes, sorry, that's the folder you should delete.

Thank you very much, sir! ;D Everything turned out well! But! Regenerating airport cache starts at every boot of FSX. In the same airport on the same Parking lot. Beginning at 40% and lasts for a very long time (about 5 minutes). I can then call the menu GSX.

Are you referring to the GSX airport cache ? It's possible that one of your AFCAD files is corrupted, so the cache regeneration is aborted, and restarted each time.

Try to turn on logging in the "Troubleshooting" section of the "GSX Settings" menu. After a session, check your %APPDATA%\Virtuali\Couatl.LOG file. Maybe there will be some kind of hint about which file triggered the problem.

This is my Couatl.log

There's a suspect line here:

Airport cache not valid: detected change in Addon Scenery/ULLI/scenery

Something has changed that file, are you using some program that opens AFCADs while FSX is running, such as a flight planner or similar ?

I try to nothing to run simultaneously with FSX. These problems arise not only in ULLI. These problems at all airports are installed in my FSX. If I have a lot of time and a desire, I'll be completely reinstall FSX.

But log show something is changing that scenery while FSX is running.

That's not the issue, the problem is the issue happening with that scenery prevents the complete rebuild of the scenery cache, and if the cache is not rebuilt correctly, GSX won't work.

Try to remove that folder, and see if the cache rebuild will complete.
