I get the loading screen and stops
« on: June 23, 2025, 02:40:43 pm »
I'm not a MSFS frequent user but i just purchased the 2024 version to check it out. I first noticed that GSX will not start in 2020 so I tried reinstalling multiple times but still doesn't work. I deleted all the GSX files from my computer and reinstalled with the universal installer but still only get the loading screen and stops. I tried linking to msfs 2024 but doesn't work also. The GSX version says 3.5.8 is the latest. There's got to be something simple here because I don't know what else I can do. I've been trying to get this this to load for 5 days now. Help would be great

I get a message that the couatl scripting engine hasn't started within the expected time.

I'm texting to myself here. I went to the addon manager folder and executed the couatl64 file and it worked. Why doesn't it start on its own though?

You should exclude the whole Addon Manager folder from the antivirus.

Addon manager is excluded from antivirus scans. Followed your instructions to create a log and this is what I get

That's not your log, that's the file you edit to enable one. Which has a few errors like extra spaces, so maybe a log wasn't created because of that.
