i just dont understand what went wrong about this? how could this gsx worked and now not? i didnt change anything.
We don't understand it either, because we haven't changed anything in our code too. The only difference is, the test version of the Addon Manager is now compiled using the VC++ 2013 libraries instead of the VC++ 2005 libraries.
Some possible explanations I have why this started to appear now are:
- There's some popular add-on using different versions of those libraries (2005 is used by FSX itself) that is causing a Side-by-side conflict when loaded together with another addon that uses the 2005 libraries.
OR
- A recent Windows Hotfix has killed or caused problems with the version of the libraries we need. This happened already a while ago: an Hotfix for the VC++ 2008 libraries (used by PMDG, for example), killed the 2005 version. But it was then fixed again by Microsoft.
We just hope that switching to the 2013 version of the runtimes would side-step these issues, hopefully Microsoft will be more careful with their most recent version of the runtime (they might not test backward compatibility of the Hotfixes with a 10 years old system library).
Just let me know if that solution worked for you. Be sure to download both the updated Addon Manager files linked in that post AND the VC++ 2013 runtimes from Microsoft ( the x86 version ) linked on the same post.
