Problem with GSX 2.9.4 | Only works once after LiveUpdate

It's still working directly after a LiveUpdate, but on the next sim start, GSX won't work again (and it won't rebuild the caches).
Deleting the cache folder manually as a workaround however does still make GSX work again.

That's because the fix never claimed to have fixed a START when the cache is already present. As the release notes say, the fix only fixes RESTARTS, which are all the things triggered by switching the airplane, select "Reset position", choosing "Restart Couatl", which were the most annoying to be affected by this problem.
So yes, while we find a proper solution, for the first start of the sim, removing the C:\ProgramData\Virtuali\Couatl folder is still required. I suggest creating a batch file to start the sim, containing those lines
DEL C:\ProgramData\Virtuali\Couatl /S /Q
PREPAR3D.EXE
This should be named with any name with a .BAT extension ( like START.BAT ), to be placed in the Prepar3d root folder and used to start the sim.

Hm, while this asks me if I want to delete it, it's not doing anything when I agee.
I had to add "/s" to get it to delete everything even in the sub folders (and I added "/q" to skip the prompting). But this way it works for me.
Edit: Here's the bat code I use:
DEL C:\ProgramData\Virtuali\Couatl /s /q
start "" "C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5\PREPAR3D.exe"

Yes, you are right, I forgot the /s, your code it's fine.

Hi Umberto,
It worked fine initially, but then back to no GSX. :'(
