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" ?

I think you’re being a little pedantic. It is the automated action reported by the OP which is occurring every 20 seconds. If I am in the middle of choosing a different parking position the menu disappears and a message appears in a green banner top left of the screen. It’s only visible for a few seconds so reading it is not easy.
Is that clear enough?

Ray,
I am not sure if what I did will help you with your issue but maybe it's worth a shot.
From my post above:
"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 Couatl 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 had suggested that due to so many jetways at KORD, the Couatl may be timing out, causing this restart, not reload, of Couatl. Umberto replied that it might be and on the next update they will extend the time limit. Until this happens, you can try what I did as far as starting with no AI present, then gradually increasing. I am attaching my AFCAD file and 3 GSX ini files for you to try. So you know, I am running P3dv5. If you are running something different I can't say if this will work. When installing these files ensure you make backups of your current in the event mine do not work. The ini files on my system are located at: C:\Users\User name\AppData\Roaming\Virtuali\GSX. The KORD file is located on my system at: C:\Program Files (x86)\Addon Manager\FsDreamTeam\KORDV2\scenery. I hope this helps!

The new update out so I would try it first.
Ray Proudfoot:
@grouner, thanks for your suggestion. Today was the first time in a couple of months I flew out of KORD. It might be another month or two before I do it again.
I’ll update and see what has changed. This is the first time I’ve had this problem at KORD so hopefully the update will revert to the original settings.
P3Dv5.3HF2.

I used to be getting the same message every 30s and now with the update pushed today it's still happening but at 60s intervals.
