OFFLINE installer for the latest updates - Last Update June 6th 2024

[tbaac]

Okay, I redownloaded again, trying to start from the offline installer, then updating.

My Addon Manager folder is now just over 9GB and has 37,684 files.  Is that a realistic number or half what it should be?

GSX still crashes when I try using it.

Start of log:

Can you see what the issue is?  Thanks.

edit:  So, the complete reinstall took about 16 hours I think, and one thing I should have mentioned is that I only have GSX from FSDT, so all files in the above stats are from GSX.
I have links named fsdreamteam-gsx-pro and fsdreamteam-gsx-world-of-jetways in my Community folder and if I click on them then they show the files that are under the Addon Manager tree.
Also, I do have a license key and entered it on first install.  I think the log shows my copy as unlicensed, this may have happened during the reinstall.
Thanks.

Confirm:
the FSD live Update run ok for me
Updated the gsx and run very well

Also, no matter using online or offline installer I can't get the simbrief status to show up... I don't see any option for it

[Darewell]

Luckily you give us manual updates, after about 2 weeks it seems my local node is still outdated (France).

[pizzamonster]

My too (London)

[JTaylor801]

and also same here in Denver, Colorado USA.  But offline updates are obviously working and looking great and working perfect.

[mmcmah]

Same thing. Also Denver.

ok so can some of you who are getting this to work tell us exactly what you did from scratch, what file you downloaded from where and what updates you used.  Seriously there needs to be some sort of version control with this.  I have no idea what version I have and whether it is the latest.  Im sure any servers here in Australia dotn have latest version. 

[Seth2413]

Seriously when you download the offline installer and open it it says the latest version is 1.6 dated August 31st yet at start of this thread you have latest is Sep 1st (without a version).  FFS which is it??  This is truly amatuer hour.

I ran the offline installer downloaded from one of the links in the first post (filename Addon Manager.exe) however, after doing so, I ran as prescribed "FSDT Live Update" for verification.

Every time the live update seems to download and update the same things but at some point (exactly in the point indicated by the image) it closes by itself.

Maybe something wrong?

"ON Online installer, updated GSX release notes are from today, september 1st. On the offline installer, on both links, release notes are from yesterday. Is it something missing ?"

Please clarify this sentence, because I don't understand it.

[virtuali]

Every time the live update seems to download and update the same things but at some point (exactly in the point indicated by the image) it closes by itself.

There's nothing wrong.

The Live Update now always downloads and installs a ZIP file of the current Jetway replacement files and the current Airport services, because we found this is way faster than checking every single file for updates.  And as you can see in the update log, it correctly skips file for airport you Disabled.

And, as explained so many times, when the updater has finished, it will just quit. It's not a crash.

when you download the offline installer and open it it says the latest version is 1.6 dated August 31st yet at start of this thread you have latest is Sep 1st (without a version)

I noticed this too.

Also I found after running the installer there is no "pushback_freeze" config option in Couatladdons.ini as per the release notes in the installer.

Also I found after running the installer there is no "pushback_freeze" config option in Couatladdons.ini as per the release notes in the installer

That option is OPTIONAL and the default behavior (when  NO line is there), is to use the previous pushback method, that *does* freeze the airplane as it always did, which equals to having pushback_freeze = 1 or no line at all.

If you want to *try* the new method, which (depending on the airplane flight model) you can add the line yourself, and set it to 0 but, unless you do that, the line won't appear by itself, so the program will assume it was set to 1.

along with the simbrief status button not appearing in the in-game UI which leads me to believe the current offline installer does not contain the files it should

The Simbrief button won't appear if:

- your GSX panel is not high enough to show it, but you can resize it

- you don't have a Simbrief user name

- you might need to open a 2nd time for the Simbrief button to appear.

I confirm the Offline installer contains all the latest files from September 1st, except the readme. We'll update the readme as well to reduce the confusion.

Sorry, I've installed several times and am still going round in circles.

The log file says:
  File ".\common\criticalsection.py", line 23, in _synchronized
  File ".\common\mpmenu.py", line 123, in emulateMenu_MSFS
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: u'I:\\Microsoft Flight Simulator\\Packages/MSFS/fsdreamteam-gsx-pro/html_ui/InGamePanels/FSDT_GSX_Panel/menu'

--
There is a file named 'menu' where you would expect, in the folder:
I:\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Community\fsdreamteam-gsx-pro\html_ui\InGamePanels\FSDT_GSX_Panel\

The link it created (fsdreamteam-gsx-pro) is in:
   I:\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Community

If the link was in
I:\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages
and pointed to C:\Program Files (x86)\Addon Manager
that would work (i.e. the path would then be right, although I don't know if MSFS would see it)

Do I have the wrong version of the link?

Thanks
