at ORBI Baghdad (Armi Project), PMDG MD-11, runway

Do you have an example on a default airport, or a freeware one, or something from FSDT or Flightbeam maybe ?

I´m so frustrated: new circumstances

1. installed the setup again
2. default AirCreation Trike, at default KFJK 4L
3. changed airport EDDF 2.0, RWY 25L
4. changed aircraft PMDG MD-11
5. Re-start flight, back in KJFK
6. checked live-update and re-installed newest update
7. checked GSX sound settings -> no audio device
8. restart couatl and repeat audio diagnostic checks
9. checked GSX sound settings -> audio device found
10. press ok -> back to FSX -> ERROR COUATL ENGINE

3. checked GSX sound settings -> no audio device
4. restart couatl and repeat audio diagnostic checks
5. checked GSX sound settings -> choose audio device from list

Why not start with the plane you want at the airport you want? You could eliminate about eight of those ten steps.  ???

Ok, we'll check this, because it seems there might be a problem (which could or could not be a problem in our code, because it relies on audio drivers) when switching a sound device while in FSX.

Does it work if you don't touch the audio device in GSX ? If you want to change it, it's safer to change it, exit from FSX and start it again.

From your last crash report, you weren't using the latest Couatl.exe. Many users reported no crashes with the current version.

used installer downloaded 06. June, size 113.858 kb
downloaded latest installer yesterday, size 113.785 kb
is it different?
Try no this installer

The problem is not the installer, it's the Couatl.exe, which is downloaded automatically by the installer so, it's not relevant which installer you have, since they will all download the current Couatl.exe.

That's why you don't have to worry about checking the version yourself, or even *wondering* which one is the latest: just run the installer again, and it will download the most current version of the most important files, the one which is current the moment you run the installer.

I checked the version you had by looking at your report, which show you weren't using the latest version, surely not when you posted the error log.

If you still have errors with the current version, then please post an updated error log.

I installed the latest downloaded installer yesterday
Had a succesful flight yesterday
Today I started FSX with PMDG 777 at LFPG Gate A5
Couatl Engine crashed again
I have only an old error file, with no changes since 05.07.2014

Try to trash all your preference files, by removing the following folders:

%APPDATA%\Virtuali
C:\ProgramData\Virtuali\Couatl

Then reinstall GSX with the *current* FULL installer.

Sorry to hijack the thread but that seemed to solve my issues.  Time will tell....

Of course, I cannot replicate this problem in any way. And, the kernel32.dll seems to be a very low-level kind of error, something we surely don't have any access to, not directly.

The only possible solution I see, is that we would connect with Teamviewer, so I can check your system directly. PM me or email me to arrange this.
