Title: Scripting Error Message in the Fly The Maddog X
Post by: kmanning on April 06, 2024, 03:49:46 am
Hi,
I just ran the Live Update. Ever since running that update, I'm getting this message:

The addon <unknown> is causing the Couatl Scripting Engine to restart. Please run Live Update.
Do you want to open log to see error details?

I'm running the P3Dv4.5 flight simulator in Windows 10 Pro. The airport scenery I'm using is the Imagine KATL Atlanta Hartsfield and I'm flying the MaddogX MD-82 and parked at gate C41. I ran this exact same scenery last night and everything worked just fine. After running the Live Update, I ran the same scenery today at the exact same gate, C41. I clicked YES to run the log so that I could post it here but it won't open nor do anything. It seems to me I remember seeing a Log Folder and now it doesn't appear. Why is it that I'm all of a sudden having this issue? I haven't made any changes. Yes, I ran the Live Update again but it made no difference. Yes, I know that this was discussed but I still have not found the solution.

When I loaded the MaddogX MD-82 at another airport, it does the exact same thing. I've tried it at several airports and I get the error message the addon is causing the Couatl Scripting Engine to restart. I don't understand that. When it says "the addon," does that mean it's the MaddogX that's causing the problem? Why is that? How can my addon, the MaddogX, stop the scripting engine from running? It was doing just fine the night before I ran the update and I have not made any changes whatsoever. Anyway, I've tried another aircraft and there was no error message and everything worked fine. So, what is it about my addon, which is the MaddogX MD-82 that would cause the scripting engine to have to be restarted? When I  press CTRL and F12 to bring up the menu, nothing happens, apparently because the script engine is not running. I just don't understand why all of a sudden, I'm having problem with this, and that did not happen until I ran the Live Update. So, I'm confused as to what is causing the problem.

I finally found the log I was looking for. See the attachment below.

Is there anyone from support that will answer my post? I've been waiting since yesterday.

Hi, I also got this issue as well in P3Dv4.5.

After I read the forum, I understood there might be an issue with the P3Dv4.5.

Here is my extract log from the report. Hope there will be a troubleshooting update very soon.

Hi golfkung05,

Are you saying that the problem is with P3Dv4? I don't know if that's true. Will you post the link to that. Everything was working fine until I ran the Live Update. When the message popped up that the unknown addon was restarting the script engine and if I wanted to open a log, I clicked YES but nothings happens nor did a log open. There's also something here that I don't understand. I've noticed that the log you posted here says Couatl.err.txt. But the only one I see is the diagnostic log called Couatl.log, and there is no Couatl.err log. The Couatl.log is the one I've posted, and it's much longer than the Couatl.err log you've posted. Where do I find the Couatl.err log? According to the GSX Options under Troubleshooting, it's found in C:\Users\Admin\AppData\Roaming\Virtuali\Couatl.err. But there is no file nor folder named Couatl.err.

Same here, I can't use any maddog model of the family since the last update, I'm sharing the coualt.err here, of course as .txt, .err isn't accepted to upload.

Has it been that long? My problem only started about 2 days ago after I ran the live update.

Hi,

Will someone explain to me why I don't have a file called Couatl.err, which is much shorter than the Couatl.log. From what I understand, the Couatl.log is a diagnostic log, and it's much longer. The Couatl.err is a panic log that all of you have posted, and is much shorter. Why is it that I don't have a Couatl.err log? I only see a Couatl.log. I don't think they're the same because my log is much, much longer than the ones you all have posted and it's totally different. I want a copy of this panic log, or Couatl.err, so that I can view it. Am I doing something wrong, and where should the Couatl.err log be located?

Ken.

Hi.
I posted on April 2, which is when I realized the error after updating to the latest version of GSX (couatl v4.8 (build 5335). It didn't happen to me before.
I have the Couatl.err file in C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Virtuali\ ("user" is your username).
When the error occurs and the scripting error window appears, the location of the file will appear in it.
It is posted as txt because err is not supported for attachment.

Post by: jmlucia on April 07, 2024, 08:23:23 pm
I will also tell you that I just did a scan for the Couatl.log file and it is the one that does not appear to me.
I know why: I didn't have it activated in the settings. There you will be able to see the locations of these files.

Thanks for explaining that. I think I understand how it works now. There is a box in the Settings, and if that box is checked, you won't see the Couatl.err. You'll only see the Couatl.log. If you uncheck that box, you'll see both the Couatl.err and the Couatl.log. But you mentioned that it did not appear. It appears on mines.

Here's my Couatl.err log:

I too experiencing the same issue when flying the Maddog 2.2b848. It only occurs with this plane, all others are running fine (Aerosoft A320/21 | PMDG 737NG/747/777 | 787 QualityWings)

Would love to know if we can revert back or have a temporary fix until next updated, hopefully this will get resolved by then.

Thank

Update: I've completely uninstalled GSX and ran the most recent installer from fsdreamteam main page together with the updates (usually runs right after installation is complete).
After testing I no longer receive scripting errors.

Hope this helps,

Cheers,

Hope it works for you as well

I don't understand that. It's seems to me if that solves the problem, one of the support team members should have posted that here. At least, that is their job. Here's what irritates me. Not one support team member has offered to answer the questions posted here as to what is causing the problem and when the problem will be fixed. Not one person. We're just out here in the dark discussing this issue and I'm very irritated that the support team just ignores our questions and won't tell us what's happening.

And by support team, you mean Umberto? Because as far as I have seen, he's the only one from FSDreamteam who actually responds to stuff here. Additionally, your initial post was on Friday night, and it is Monday morning now. I don't know how often he responds over the weekend.

Before publishing I already performed that procedure twice. No positive results.
I published this problem on April 2 (Tuesday)

Correction: it appears that once you actually activate GSX, you'll get a script error again. so the issue resolves the startup of maddog X, but upon actual use it will fail. in short, back to square one!

Hi Kevin,
I've always thought that there were about 4 or 5 support teams other than Umberto. Is this not the place to come to get help and get our problems solved? I just want to know why I'm having this problem all of a sudden and cannot use GSX when flying the Maddog X. The problem started last week when I ran the live update and ever since then, the script engine shuts down every time I load the Maddog X. From what I've read here, I've ran the live update again but it made no difference. When the problem is fixed, will Umberto announce that here in this post?

Forum is the correct place, yes, short of actually e-mailing them. I have no idea why you would be having issues. I also have no clue of who they have available for support, but during the time I've been here, I've only ever seen Umberto respond. The only time I ever really respond is if it's something simple that I know how to solve, otherwise I just don't.

I don't understand why Umberto is not aware of this. I'm not the only one having this problem. Have you not read that that are many here that are having the exact same problem as I am, including in this thread? The message says that the addon, which is apparently the Maddog X, is causing the script engine to restart, but it never restarts when I click YES. I get the same message again and prompts me to run the error log. I have attached that error log in my post. One is the diagnostic and the other is the panic log. The panic log is in one of my replied post in this thread. The GSX menu has disappeared and pressing the CTRL+F12 key no longer works. There are several people in this thread that are having the exact same problem. Everything was working fine until I ran the Live Update and that's when the problem started. After the Maddog X has completely loaded, here's the message I'm getting:

The addon <unknown> is causing the Couatl Scripting Engine to restart. Please run Live Update.
Do you want to open log to see error details?


All I ask is that I get support about my problem. I can't see how Umberto would not know about this when it's being posted just about everyday for the past few days. I paid for this product and I should get support when it's not working properly. I just don't understand why Umberto is not aware of this, or if he is aware of this and working on it. I don't know what's going on and I'm just  in the dark about everything because I haven't heard anything from Umberto. I and many others have attached an error log proving that this is a problem and I'm very upset about this that I can't get any support regarding this issue.

It looks like the last time Umberto was on the forum was the 3rd, so I'm guessing that's why he isn't aware of it. I've seen the posts, but I'm not really sure what you want me to do about it, given that I'm just a customer like yourself. If I look at the log that you posted, I literally have no idea what I'm reading, so I definitely won't be of any use here.

At least, that is their job. Here's what irritates me.

"Job" being the keyword here. You opened this thread on April 6th, during a weekend so no, nobody is expected to ALWAYS do "his job", on EVERY weekend and it's just wrong to demand that.

Of course, the issue HAS been fixed, and it HAS been replied to as well today:

Hi Kevin,

I didn't expect you to explain anything about my issue since you didn't understand what's going on. You did the right thing. I also read the log but I didn't understand it either. Thanks for your help.
