Hey,
can you guys at least give us a patch file or something to restore the previous version of addon manager/gsx so we can enjoy P3D again?
I've only updated because of the window which kept popping up at start, saying there is a new version, but now I wish I didn't...

+1 Please can we have the last working GSX prior to update so we can use the addon again.

This can be done, the full installer hasn't been updated yet, because I need to know what's really going on with you, since another user here posted he has MSFS and P3D working fine together:
http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,26480.msg175594.html#msg175594
If that doesn't work for you, you can keep the previous version, because the full installer which is still online now, is the latest P3D version, and I think it's better NOT to update it until I fully understand how it's possible that I have GSX working normally in both MSFS and P3D, and so many of you are reporting errors, like SODE disconnect, etc.
You can start with a clean install this way:
- Uninstall GSX for P3D and reply YES to the question "Do you want to remove the Addon Manager ?". After uninstall is complete, REMOVE the Addon Manager folder.
- Install the Full GSX installer with the network disconnected
- This should give you a full GSX version for P3D from February. Check it works correctly, before doing anything else.
-
So ive tried this roll-back method until i tried reinstalling GSX see attachment (started the installer from the website and .. well self explanatory i think :(
Sorry, I should have been more precise:
- Let the small installer download all large files first, and THEN disconnect the network after it starts the 2nd step.
Also, if you previously installed the full installer, you might still have a copy of it in the Documents\GSX_Installer folder IF you chose the option to keep it. If you have it, you can start the installer from there ( assuming it IS the last version from February ) with the network disconnected, saving the initial download part.
-
sorry ive just thought of that aswell let it download and before it installs disconnect

Ok, so ive found my old gsx full installer (version 2.9.3) and did as you told me. Problem was: GSX and GSX Level 2 were in trial mode and I had no success in activating it via serial key. It gave me the "Couatl Engine failed to start" error message.
Then I tried the full installer from your website (version 2.9.5) and it gave me an error message one time right on P3D start up "Couatl Engine failed to start" and one time when I've tried to activate the license.
-
So ive followed the instructions .. Couatl/GSX is not in the Add-ons list in apps and feutures it says gsx only has a size of 806kb (avast was fully disabled (previously remove mcafee thinking it was the major issue)) disconnected my lan cable before starting the second step it gave me a message asking me to use the live-updater when done due to the lack of internet connection.. so i dont know what went wrong here but either this offline setup doesnt work or something has failed dramatically with the installer.
-
yes... and GSX and Couatl arent in the sim when i try to register its says well screenshot says it... and yes avast is still disabled
-
Ok so quick update:
You can install previous versions but the addon will straight up not work (error message, products not activated).
You can install the most up to date version and the addon is going to work but with disappearing SODE jetways. (Yes, also with reinstalled SODE)
Both problems with Windows Defender disabled/Exclusions set (I don't use any other anti-virus software).
-
You must have skipped something in my instructions, I'll copy them again, with the aforementioned correction. I also add that, you don't have to find out older versions, as I've said, the latest full installer for GSX IS still available on our site, and it's 2.9.5, a version from February.
- Uninstall GSX for P3D and reply YES to the question "Do you want to remove the Addon Manager ?". THIS IS IMPORTANT
- After uninstall is complete, REMOVE the Addon Manager folder.
- Download and install the full GSX installer from our site. It's only a small file which just download the rest of the installer, you should not disconnect the network yet.
- After the small installer has completed, it will start the "real" installation of the downloaded files. NOW it's time to disconnect the network.
- Continue the installation and don't run the updater, and see if it works.
-
thats what i did the first time i tried it... both ways had the same result
-
Remove the Addon Manager folder is not really an option with multiple scenery installed, are there specific files in this root folder to remove ?
-
With "previous versions" I also meant the 2.9.5 from your website. Miscommunication on my end, sorry.
Still, I exactly understood your described steps and followed them precisely like you told me to in your newest answer.
End of the story:
Addon is not working, only Addon Manager is showing up in the Addons tab without Couatl/GSX with all products inactive.
When trying to activate them ---> See attachment.

This is the exact same error that's coming up for me after following the instructions.
edit: and yes, my Addon Manager is excluded from Windows AV scanning as it has been for years
-
+1 here as well.
Followed the steps from Umberto to rollback and install 2.9.5 from website.
GSX fully installed, registering the product triggers same error as others (confirmed AV is not the issue).
-
I am not sure if this is right but, when the previous "new version" came out we had this couatl problems. That is why we had to use universal installer.
Now, I am not quite sure but I think, to be able to register couatl, we need to use universal installe which still updates the GSX to the newest version.
Cheers,
Arslan

Installing GSX 2.9.5 without running Live Update does not work. Couatl will not start without the files in Live Update.

Hi Umberto,
Followed your advice and made exactly each step your wrote.
Here a problem I have:

This doesn't work. GSX does not show in the SIM following this method.
GSX only shows once the live update has been ran post installation.
(P3Dv4.5)
-
I think the problem is with the Addon Manager.
I tried installing GSX as instructed by disconnecting from the internet after the first installation had finished and prior to the second.
After restarting my computer I was unable to call any GSX services, so I installed the standalone Addon Manager that was linked to in another thread and now I can call the services, but the jetways dissappear.
At no point did I run the Live Updater.

The user you are saying might have gsx working because he have both p3d and msfs. Your update this time comes together for both sims. Because i noticed there are several msfs files in addon manager. This i think might have ruined p3d for user who only have p3d installed. Same goes to user who only have msfs installed. Why dont you just do seperate update for each sim??? Obviously it is different platform of simulator.
You releasing a new product for msfs and at the same time you ruined p3d. Dont you realize that?? And the amount of support you are giving to msfs is more than what you are giving in p3d since you are a pioneer in this sim for so many years.

Not correct, I use both sims and neverthless I got this issues

Same here, I have both P3Dv4.5 & msfs installed. But only have GSX level 1 purchased and installed (but not working)

Thanks for clarifying. This addon has ruined both sims. They just rush on releasing their product without testing it

Instead of making comments about "it doesn't work", it would be more useful providing a Couatl.log, which might give me a hint about WHY

Well, unfortunatelly i didn´t come here before the P3D erros started and did the update. GSX dissapeared from my p3d instalation (Dont have GSX for msfs yet). Quick question for the developer: can i wait to a more compreensive solution than "delete this", "download that", "do that", etc? Can we wait for a more final and easy way to correct this? (Just using the update thing)
Thanks.

I think we will get a proper fix, as anyone who purchases this add-on new, will have the issues, and it'll also put people off buying it, if the issue isn't properly fixed.
However, I don't think we're going to get a fix as fast as we hope we would.
-
I just saw a post from someone who said they just ran the update again and its working now .
I havent tried it myself as i am working at the moment.

The first thing GSX is doing when invoking something is to remove all sim objects near the aircraft. A good thing with MSFS because it removes default trucks and stairs around. But why this code is also running in the P3D version???? It's the reason why SODE jetways near the aircraft are deleted. The GSX configuration is the same for both simulators.
I think you caught that! Yes, we made a change and before we removed only groundvehicles in P3D, in MSFS we remove everything, because there are humans, ai planes, static planes, etc.
I've added back the "only ground vehicles" rule, in FSX/P3D only. Try to get it from Live Update, so we can test if it's working, otherwise I'll place the fix in the offline installer and rebuild it.
The Live Update is supposed to download these two files:
\Addon manager\Couatl\common\__INIT__.PYE
\Addon manager\Couatl\GSX\__INIT__.PYE
I just tried running the live updater and my issues in P3D is now solved and the SODE gate works again :D
-
Just did the update... still not working. When i click "fly", the coatl.exe process closes, and there is no GSX commands in the menu. Just the Addon manager option. When i click the addon manager, it opens, all my FSDT products are in trial mode, BUT all the serials are there listed.
SODE still works ok. The fingers are working (But thru sode, not gsx)
Dont know what to do now. Ill wait.

I'm sorry but, reverting to an old version is getting pretty complex. I know what's happening and why, but it's not easy to fix.
We'll better try to fix the current version, so we might finally have a new complete full install that works.
-
Thanks. I prefer to wait for the proper correction. Good luck in the process :)

That would be great. I prefer waiting a bit more instead of installing / unistalling stuff.
Just a tiny request.
When everything is OK, could you announce it on web page and in forum with a sticky?
Cheers,

Running the live update today has fixed the vanishing jetways / vehicles bug, but for me, i still have
No parking available at some airports (UK2000 EGLL still only has 1 Heavy gate showing in GSX, but when at the gate its 'isolated' and no services available)
No jetway animated at UK2000 EGCC Or FlyTampa OMDB. SODE states no triggerable abjects, GSX shows jetways but doesnt animate them.
Also GSX custom aircraft settings are ignored, such as changing the pushback tug from towbarless to one with towbar, GSX still continues to display and use a towbarless tug.
-
Please provide a Couatl.LOG with the affected airplane loaded on the affected airport.
-
I'm sorry but, reverting to an old version is getting pretty complex. I know what's happening and why, but it's not easy to fix.
So are we correct in assuming there currently really is no way to revert to the older version of February / March? I also tried the steps you provided to no avail.
I think I can speak for all of us when I say that I appreciate P3D and FSX versions still getting updates and benefitting from MSFS development due to a shared code base!
But could it be possible to give people at least temporarily the option to revert back to a previously working state (for example by providing a standalone installer with the old GSX and AddonManager files)? It could also take the pressure off your development team to iron out the kinks with a select beta-testing team instead of rolling out a mandatory (non-revertable) update that breaks the application for many users.

Well,
Since you're saying that reverting back to the older version won't work, I guess there's no use in explaining things.
