Title: QualityWings and GSX aren't getting along (FSX)
Post by: freddiel on July 05, 2019, 01:05:03 am

Hi,

After downloading the updated GSX L2, all seemed to be going rather smoothly (although honestly I didn't notice a difference) until I tried to do a flight in the QW757.  After I set my starting location, I got a message that said something along the lines of "GSX is outdated, download the latest standalone Addon Manager."  When I clicked OK, my browser automatically opened up to the FSDT page where you can download the addon manager, only just the FS9 version was available.

I did some research in this forum and learned that the addon manager is no longer needed, so I followed some users' advice and uninstalled it and reinstalled my GSX L2 and QW757 on their own.  However, the problem persists and also occurs on my QW787 (which I had just gotten to work correctly after a year of trying).  I can fly any other aircraft without issue.

When I carry on and start the sim, I am told I should run the FSDT Live Update, which I can't tell you how many times I've done.  In the pull-down menu under "Add-ons," there are two versions of the Addon Manager, which I thought I had uninstalled (One is like version 3, the other is 5 I believe).  In the more recent one, I am given the option to register the serial for GSX L2, which was done a long time ago when I first downloaded it.  When I click on that, I am told Couatl can't run or something along those lines.

What can I do so that everyone gets along again?

You must update the QW757 to use the Flight1 version installer:

Uninstall the old QW757 entirely, and reinstall only GSX with the latest full installer, this will remove the double Addon Manager.

Thanks for the response.

I've done some thinking and I'm done trying to fight with FSX and I'm making the P3D switch today.  How can I ensure all my FSDT products get moved to P3D?

When you install them, just use the serial number that you used before for FSX.
