GSX Couatl Constant Restarts
grouner:
I have been doing some experimenting to figure out why the Couatl keeps restarting. First, I went thru KORD, adding jetways from GSX, adjusting vehicles at each parking spot, aligning all the aircraft on the parking spots, and aligning all taxi and paths so the AI aircraft are following on the centerlines, using ADE. When I initially started I had all AI aircraft on and at 50%. When in "customize airport position" in GSX, I noticed that when I selected "Y" to bring the GSX menu customization menu back up, it was very slow to respond then the Coualt keep restarting. So, I turned all the AI aircraft off. GSX performed perfectly and quickly. Once I had completed all the updating, I selected "restart Couatl and rebuild airport cache". Again, everything went fine. I then added back the AI aircraft at 50%. Couatl began it's issue of restarting. I then turned off the AI aircraft and the scenery was fine. I then started adding aircraft at 25%. Program worked fine, I then moved to 35%. Again, everything worked fine. I moved to 40%, then 45% then finally to 50%. All was working properly. I shut down P3Dv5 and restarted it at 50% traffic. It is still working properly! I have no idea why. I am curious, since there are 212 gates (I think) and it takes more than a few seconds for all the gates to load, could the program being timing out because the jetways are taking a long time to load (10 to 15 seconds) and this is causing the Couatl to react the way it was?
What I know about this kind of stuff you can put on the back of a postage stamp in 3/4 inch letters. I am just trying...

That's possible. For the next update, we raised the timeout to 60 seconds and, have added a couple of checks to be sure the restart is not triggered while you have the menu opened after pressing ESC, or you are in the settings, but those are things we can check.
We have no much control over the sim is just "slow" to respond, other than just raising the timeout further.

Thanks Umberto!

This is happening for me at KORD. Every 20 secs the rebuild starts. Hopefully a fix is imminent.

And again, what "rebuild" means ? I'll copy the part of my previous reply with a plead of trying to be accurate in your reports:

I keep saying the term cache "refresh" or "restart" used liberally, when in fact there are two very different things so, I'll try to make it clear:

So, in your case, what is a "rebuild" ?
