Title: [Resolved] FS Labs Concorde and GSX settings
Post by: Ray Proudfoot on August 20, 2023, 12:25:18 pm

Hi Umberto,

P3D v5.3HF2 and the new 64-bit Concorde. FSL have integrated GSX into this new aircraft but have advised settings in GSX need changing to ensure correct operation.

The problem is these settings are different to those I use for my other aircraft specifically the PMDG737.

Having to remember and change these settings dependent on the aircraft in use is going to be a long-term nuisance. What is needed is a profile for each aircraft so the preferred settings can be made automatically.

This will also apply when Concorde is released for MSFS so a long-term solution would appear important. Could you implement such a system please?

I use Simstarter to use a required Couatladdons.ini Ray ;)

Ah right, thanks Stephen. I didn’t realise it could be configured in it. Where should I look? I rarely change anything once configured.

Save copies of the configured Couatladdons.ini to location of your choice, use the 'Run Manager' in SS and configure different config sets eg STD and FSL.

Add File Operation and copy the required Couatladdons.ini file to the virtuali folder.

You can create seperate SS profiles and assign the required run configuration to each, or remember to switch the run as required.

@srcooke, I've been getting constant messages about a GSX update when I start P3D via SimStarterNG. I posted a separate topic here but it wasn't answered.

But when I start P3D direct from its own shortcut there's no reminder popup. The problem lies in the copying of a custom couatladdons.ini file replacing the original.

There's a time stamp in my copy [liveupdate] section which when read by Couatl determines an update is required. If you're using the same process as me you must be getting the same problem.

I'm working out how to fix this.

@Ray Proudfoot

Remove the ' [liveupdate] ' section from the Couatladdons.ini file that SS is restoring.

Stephen, thanks. That has no unintended consequences?

Certainly non that I have noticed in several months of use Ray.

Thanks Stephen. I removed that section and there was no reminder when P3D loaded.  :)
