GSX not appearing in MSFS toolbar
« on: August 22, 2022, 08:50:54 pm »
I have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times now into MSFS and the option for the GSX menu is not appearing in the toolbar.

Can someone help?

Thanks in advance

Is it listed as "Installed" in the installer, or you see a "relink" button ?

GSX is not appearing in my MSFS 2024 toolbar, I reinstalled twice and checked Windows Defender exclusions (addon manager folder is excluded). In my case GSX Pro appears "Installed" in green. What else can I do?

Check if it might have been disabled in the Toolbar itself, the rightmost icon.

Do you see both gsx packages in the Community folder, as Symbolic links (little arrows on them) ?

I'm noticing that the sim is not loading ANYTHING from the Community folder. I think this is happening since S2 update. I might have to reinstall the whole thing.

Maybe the location of it (if you previously moved it) has been reset to default ?

no, I never moved it, nor I use addon linker or anything.
I tried moving my community addons out and deleting the folder so the sim would create a new Community folder, I reinstalled GSX and despite appearing in folder and green on the installer it does not appear in sim. My last resort is to reinstall the sim, I don't know what else to try.

For some reason, what I think was the SU2 update, messed up with the location of my community folder at some level. After a clean reinstall all is good again
