GSX Couatl Constant Restarts
grouner:
What about my issue with this problem. I updated this morning with the most recent (12/5) update and the problem still exists, cache keeps looping when AI SODE attempts to dock with plane. However, now, with all AI turned off and SODE set to false on AI detection, KORD still loops cache. I have P3Dv4. I can't use this airport now because of this. Before the 12/3 update, I could at least turn off SODE for AI jetways and the looping stopped and AI planes were active. I am attaching the most recent SODE log so you can see the looping.

"Help" would have been you responding to why opening the airport customization window creates the predictable responses. Why might the window close on it's own the first time, and then stay open and disrupt the loop the second time restoring stability... Did you look at the sode log submitted by the other customer? Did it provide clues about some interaction? If you did, great! What can you surmise from your new understanding? Could it be simconnect/sode/couatl/fsuipc? What are the possibilities?

From Papacoach's suggestion (thank you!), I was able to open the "Customize airport positions" and see, for some reason, all the parking spots had been assigned jetways. Not sure why but I will have to take the blame for this. I corrected the issue and rebuilt the cache. KORD then seemed to work fine. I came back later today and went to KORD. I received a message that KORD was in trial mode. Not sure why as it showed registered. Then everything involving FSDT KORD disappeared. I looked under Add-ons and there was no couatl settings, couatl Live Update, or GSX. I shut down the program then did a ctrl/alt/del. The task manager showed couatl was running. I shut it down then restarted P3d. Same thing happened. I shut down P3d and checked the task manager again. Showed couatl was running. I shut it down then did another FSDT update. Started P3D, went to KORD, and the looping started again. I was able to get the "Customize airport positions" window open. Everything then began to work properly. I shut down P3D, waited a few minutes then checked the Task Manager. Couatl script engine was still running. I shut it down again then restarted P3D and went to KORD. The cache reloaded 5 times. I was able to open the "Customize airport positions" then closed it. Airport started functioning normally.
It seems what Papacoach reported is exactly the same that I am experiencing.

Then this is the only real issue, which of course is not normal. First, just to be sure, you mean Couatl64_P3D.EXE, right ? Just to be sure you are not loading the 32 version for some reason, which might start, but it's no longer tested or supported.
If you are running the correct version, the possible reasons why Couatl wouldn't close automatically are:
- It couldn't receive the standard Simconnect "Quit" command, either because Simconnect was too busy because too many add-ons sending too many commands at the same time, or simply because the sim crashed, even silently, before it was able to send it.
- The antivirus might interfering

No, the cache hasn't reloaded 5 times, you probably have seen the message being refreshed 5 times, but I assure you it loaded only once.

Just started up P3D at KORD this morning. Everything appears to be working. Wish I (we) knew what happened but thankful it is working now.
