No Buildings Showing up in P3D V 2.5 **SOLVED**

(1/3) > >>

Psolov:
Hello - I am having the issue where I have none of my FSDT airport buildings showing up, just the jetways. I know that the problem is that I have the Addon Manager showing up under the P3D V 2.5 Drop Down menu but NOT the "Couatl powered products" menu under the FSX "Addons" menu. I know that the Couatl Menu is necessary but don't know why I can get it to show up. I have tried turning off anti-virus, reinstalling and everything (as suggested in the previous thread related to this topic). FYI, I have FSX on the same machine and have never had issues installing the FSDT airports or GSX. Can you help me solve this problem? Perhaps although I have done a lot of searching for a solution, I have just not found the right one. Thanks in advance for your help.

Cheers, Pete

If you are missing just the Couatl menu, the most common cause it's the antivirus, and it's not enough to just turning it off. The correct procedure is as follows:

- DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL with the antivirus entirely OFF

- Uninstall the scenery. Reply YES when asked if you want to remove the Addon Manager and the Couatl Engine. Reply YES to both questions.

- TURN OFF your antivirus. Don't just exit from its interface, but turn off the real time protection. Actual wording changes between products, however, it's the option to scan every file that gets open in real time, without user intervention.

- Reinstall the scenery with the Antivirus TURNED OFF. Don't launch the sim yet.

- Configure the antivirus to exclude the following files from scanning:

YourP3DFolder\bglmanx.dll
YourP3DFolder\fsdreamteam\Couatl\couatl.exe

- Now you can turn the antivirus back on, and launch P3D

- Check you are seeing BOTH the "Addon Manager" menu AND the "Couatl powered products" menu under the "Addons" menu.

If still not working, check the solution indicated in this thread:

Hi Umberto - Thanks for your suggestions, I did in fact disable/turn off the real time protection, but I guess there may be a bit more to it. When I get home from work later I will add those lines to the Antivirus (and try the solution in the link you added) and let you know if I have success. One more thing: I currently have half of my FSDT/Flightbeam airports installed (I own all of them), do I need to uninstall and reinstall all of them or just one of them in order to bring back the couatl menu? Thanks for the quick response!

Cheers, Pete

Just one.
