GSXrandomly disappears form Add-on lists
« on: September 26, 2020, 05:29:39 pm »
Hi,

since some weeks randomly GSX and Coutl entries disappears from the Addon list in P3D 4.5.

When this happens I have noticed that also all the airports that I have purchased from FSDreamTeam appears to be in Demo Mode and not licensed.

The only way I have to restore everything is to launch the FSDT Live Update tool.

Is there a way to definitevely solve the issue? What could cause that?

Thanks and KR

Joe

It's possible you haven't waited enough after the simulator closed to start it again. Yes, even if the P3D Icon has disappeared, depending how many add-ons you have loaded, how free memory you have, it might take a while even well *after* the icon has disappeared for the sim to be really safe to be reopened again.

If you want to have a feel how much you should wait on your system, open the GSX Control Panel when the simulator is running, and note how much it takes for the "Compile" button to become available after you close the simulator. That's when it's really safe to restart the sim again. Try the same test using this method.
