Title: Could not create the log file
Post by: yetty on May 26, 2024, 11:49:25 am

Hello!
Since Sim Update 15 I get this error when MSFS is loading

Couatl Scripting Engine
Could not create the log file at "C:/PROGRAM FILES\WINDOWSAPPS\MICROSOFT.FLIGHTSIMULATOR_1.36.2.0_X64_8WEKYB3D8BBWE\coautl.log" the log file has been created at "C:\Users\James\AppData\Roaming\Virtualali\Couatl.log" Please check your configuration files

I am unsure how to fix this?
It doesn't seem to effect the operations of GSX.

Update:
I found a fix for anyone who has the same issue, its because Sim Update 15 change the version of the game and where its located.

How to fix:
1. Open up

Code: [Select]

%appdata%\Virtuali\Couatl_MSFS.ini2. Change

Code: [Select]

logFile from

Code: [Select]

C:\PROGRAM FILES\WINDOWSAPPS\MICROSOFT.FLIGHTSIMULATOR_1.36.2.0_X64__8WEKYB3D8BBWE\couatl.log to

Code: [Select]

C:\PROGRAM FILES\WINDOWSAPPS\MICROSOFT.FLIGHTSIMULATOR_1.37.18.0_X64__8WEKYB3D8BBWE\couatl.log
The difference is changing the version to 1.37.18.0

We never suggested to put a path in the log file, precisely to prevent issues like this, because with no path:

logFile = Couatl.log

It will create it in its own folder in %appdata%\Virtuali

Or, if you want to be 100% sure it will never change, set it like this:

logFile = %appdata%\Virtuali\Couatl.LOG
