GSX Couatl scripting engine hasn't started **SOLVED**
d_stickman:
Was having the same issue as described above and the Universal Installer did the trick for me as well. I was pulling my hair out before doing the smart thing and going to the forums.
KeDoG3:
So I followed the same solution advice and downloaded the Universal installer but still am running into GSX L1 and L2 not running. When I restart Couatl I get the same error message. This only happened after buying DFW and I can replicate it at LAX and ORD as well.
Hawk:
Having a similar problem...but not the same. Couatl launches but doesn't exit. This has happened recently. When I launch GSX customize Airport positions the green Couatl scripting engine icon appears in my task bar. When I then select customize Parking positions option the couatl icon disappears from my task bar, and I see the normal layout for adjusting parking position, jetway position, etc. and Couatl places me in slew mode. After I finish with adjustments I press "Y" to Exit and nothing happens. I remain in the edit mode but no longer in Slew. The only way out of edit mode is to go to the add-ons menu and re-launch GSX customize Airport positions. That puts me back at the main option screen where I can add more jetways or exit. This also makes the green Couatl icon re-appear in the task bar. Other than that it seems to work normally and it appears to save my new settings. It is the strangest thing. I followed this thread and downloaded the universal installer and ran updates without issue but I am still having this issue. Any ideas?

Your problem not similar at all. It doesn't have anything to do with anything that has been discussed here.

That's not what happens, according to your report. "Couatl exit", means the program closing itself automatically when exiting the simulator. That's the one and only time in which Couatl is supposed to exit.

Ok, I understand where your confusing came from. You assumed that Couatl started with the editor, because you saw the icon appear in the Taskbar and you assumed it was supposed to exit because the icon disappears. That's not the case, Couatl didn't started at that time and didn't exit at that time, and it was never supposed to "exit". The icon you see is NOT the icon of the program itself, it's the icon of the editor Dialog, which happens to be the same as the Couatl program (because it belongs to it), but it doesn't indicate in any way the running status of the couatl program ITSELF.
The one and only way for you to know if Couatl started ( when starting the sim ) or Exited ( when closing the sim ), is checking the Task Manager, that will tell you about the Couatl program ITSELF.

Exactly so no, you problem is not the Couatl is not exiting, since at that time is not supposed to exit, but some kind of error must have happened when you pressed the Y key to return to the dialog.
If you have logging enabled in the GSX Settings, exit the sim immediately as soon you see the editor "stuck" the way you describe, and see if there's a log there.
Also, because your problem doesn't have anything to do with this thread, DO NOT reply here but, instead, open a new thread with a proper title describing your problem with the EDITOR, eventually post your LOG file there.

Hello,
GSX and other add-ons have been working fine in P3D v5.3, but right after I installed Hawaii Airports Vol 1 no FSDT products are working and when I go into Addon Manager in the menu I get the Anti-Virus message posted earlier in this thread. I have tried running Live Update and FSDT Installer but they are crashing after I try to open them. I'm attaching the couatl.log file.
