Missing objects and pink textures...again

[WebMaximus]

Just installed GSX Pro on a completely fresh system where GSX Pro wasn't installed before. Just replaced my CPU and hence the new system/installation of Windows, MSFS and so on.

Installation went fine where I'm on the latest version as of writing this post and when trying out GSX for the first time on my new system, attached are some pictures showing what I see...passengers walking up invisible stairs and catering guys pushing pink carts with some more pink buddies waiting to load the bags...seriously...what is the deal with all these issues with missing objects and textures after just having finished a fresh install of your software on a brand new system?

You know I love the GSX concept of GSX Pro and all features and added immersion it offers after being a long time customer but these kind of issues which never seem to completely go away when using your software are becoming quite old.

Guess next thing will be to start uninstalling/installing and maybe use the offline installer etc etc...I'm just so tired to be honest having to go through all these things far too often with this software. Spending all this time trying to fix weird issues instead of spending my valuable spare time enjoying the product I paid for.

You really need to get this sorted permanently by now Umberto. It's been like this for as long as I can remember and I'm not talking weeks or months...

Edited to add, I just noticed now how I have another problem...when trying to launch FSDT Installer, nothing happens. I just see the setup window for a split second or two and then it vanishes and I'm left on my desktop with nothing...sigh...guess it's a sign I should go and get some sleep instead.

i had this as well,all sorted now must be  a server issue, best bet to get a quick answer is to go  to the gsx discord get a answer with in usually 5 minutes or so

No article is supposed to turn up but a post on the GSX Discord server. Where that post and some of the previous posts I made give information how I was able to solve it over here. If you're not on the GSX Discord server, do a Google Search for it and you should be able to find an invitation link.

In short and as I recall it:

1. start by uninstalling everything related to GSX
2. download and use the latest offline installer
3. run FSDT Installer and update if necessary (suppose there shouldn't be a need so long the offline installer is on the latest version)

If you have problem where FSDT Installer won't launch, check the file size of Couatl_Updater2.exe. If it's only like 1 KB, that is what is causing the issue with FSDT Installer not starting. You then need to uninstall it and install it again. At least, that was how I eventually was able to fix it.

After doing this and also making sure I was on the latest version, the issue with the pink textures was also fixed.

I hope this helps!

Even this case is now covered by the installer: it checks automatically if the size of the couatl_updater2.exe is at least 20MB and will try to download it again, several times, until you get the correct file.

Note that, this is done by the 1st stage installer, which is the couatl_updater.exe. This can't "update itself" like the 2nd stage installer, so you can only get it by using either the Offline Installer, or after completing a normal update.
