Title: GSX disappears from FSX
Post by: westway on February 09, 2017, 04:23:38 pm

 ???Can anyone tell me why my GSX disappears from my FSX application. It works fine for a month then up and disappears completely from FSX. It requires a complete reinstall. Very frustrating and it shouldn't happen.

The installer sets (or, more precisely, reset to default), some Compatibility flags that might have been set either by other addons, or by Windows itself, if FSX crashed for some reason. Some are hidden in the registry, so they are not immediately obvious.

That's why, you can be easily mislead thinking GSX "requires" a reinstall, only because something else has changed your FSX compatibility flags in the wrong way, and the installer simply put them back as they are supposed to be.
