GSX version 1.9.11 has been released, with several new features, and lots of reported bugs fixed. Here's the list of changes:
- Icing conditions detection more realistic, now based on Temperature + Dew Point.
- Deicing pads added to Zurich and O'Hare.
- Refueling starts by filling wings tanks first, then the central ones and finally externals.
- Preset Fuel quantities indicated in USGAL and Lb/Kg (depending on International settings).
- Automatic detection of 3rd party progressive refuel simulation made optional in GSX - Settings.
- Support for Prepar3D 3.4.22 (Hotfix 3).
- Support for the PMDG 747-400 V3.
- Don't remove PMDG Ground Equipment around the airplane by default.
- Airplane Configuration: Don't display traffic cones if engine z < -100 meters. Used by the Concorde.
- New Ground Operators added: Aegean, Air Asia, Brussels South Charleroi, EVA Air. REQUIRES Downloading the Vehicles Update or the Full GSX Installer.
- More precise collision detection at KMEM.
- Bugfix: Refueling not stopping anymore when quantity requested exceeded the tanker capacity and the "Multiple Trips" option was disabled.
- Bugfix: Departure (PushBack) queuing.
- Bugfix: Random operators appearing when parking has no codes.
- Bugfix: Progressive refueling requested by custom aircraft system, activated only if aircraft is parked.
To install the new update, you have two options:
- Download the latest Full installer, which contains everything.
OR
- Download the latest Stand-Alone Addon Manager and the latest Vehicles Update from the GSX page.

Thank you Umberto, so very much! I'm extremely happy and encouraged to see these updates to GSX!
1. Will it be possible for third party scenery developers (including Freeware Scenery Developers) to trigger (or set the flag) for completion of Anti-Icing? I ask because there are sceneries that have working Deicing Stations, and they could be easily integrated with GSX and if we had the ability to trigger the COMPLETION of the Deicing Procedure. Of course I'll be that you've provided this ability via the User Interface (F12 Key), but I thought it would be great to have this done automatically as well.
Example of the above: The Freeware Philadelphia (KPHL) Airport Scenery from SunSkyJet has 5 or 6 large Deicing Stations in the vicinity of the entrance to runway 09L. They work very well, and start automatically once the aircraft is taxied into position, and the Deicing procedure stops once a given amount of time has elapsed - and we could use this to trigger the completion of the Deicing procedure ion GSX.
2. I was very much hoping for the ability to setup airports (example: Remove rear stairs at all gates) without first having to start the sim and launch an aircraft to the airport. Is this on a list for a future update?

Hi, Umberto, thanks for the update. Unfortunately, the full installer is not recognizing my FSX-SE instalation. (The previous gsx installer was) It only recognizes the p3d v3 ....22 version as the image below:

Previous GSX installers works perfectly with FSX-SE as can be seen with the previous full installer screen below:
http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/images/2017/02/02/Clipboard034.jpg (http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/images/2017/02/02/Clipboard034.jpg)
I have P3Dv3.4.22 and FSX-SE installed in my computer.
Any hint?
Thanks.

The previous installer still had problems detecting corrupted registry keys for FSX:SE, the new installer is supposed to FIX this, and recognize all possible combination of faulty FSX:SE installations but, apparently, yours is a case there we couldn't anticipate.
It's no use trying to fix this on the forum. Contact me in private, to arrange a Teamviewer session, because I really need to have a look at your system.

- Support for the PMDG 747-400 V3.
Hi Umberto,
GSX doesn't recognise the 747's wheel chocks. It keeps asking for the parking brakes. This is not the case with the 737. Anything you can do?
I uninstalled GSX and reinstalled it with the new full installer.
-

If GSX ask for the parking brake, then just set the parking brake so, this is not a bug. Yes, of course GSX can support some airplanes to use Wheelchocks instead of the parking brakes, but it's not something editable in the aircraft configuration editor (yet).
In any case, the configuration for the new PMDG 747 is NOT considered final, since we still need to get some support from PMDG, in order to add a proper Bypass simulation, which another system GSX can do, but requires support from the airplane.
We are already in contact with PMDG about this.
-
Roger that Umberto. I'll wait for the final version.
You may also want to revise the fuel point, as the fuel truck is going under the airplane and not the wing. I'll change it myself, but a working default solution wouldn't be bad.

The fuel point is already correct in the configuration that comes by default with this update.
The only possible reason why you still have it in the default position, is that you already made or downloaded a custom config for it, which has the fuel point wrong, so you must remove it, because custom configurations always take precedence over the internal one.
-
I have been messing around with it this afternoon. I was under the impression that uninstalling it would clear everything out, that's the only reason i did it. I've corrected it manually now. Thanks.
-
Hi Umberto,
Why does it say "last updated 4-gen-17"? Is this one I should download?

Uninstalling will never remove your own custom configurations, that's normal.
Maybe we could add a "Clean Uninstall" option in future versions of the installer, with a clear warning that doing this would remove all your custom configurations that might that might have taken lots of time to do, and you couldn't find anywhere else so, it's a potentially dangerous option.
-

That's just your browser still not detecting the page has been updated (press F5). However, the download link is surely the correct one.

From the looks of it, i also have a corrupted FSX:SE registry since i get the issue the other two users are getting. I managed to get away with adding the directory manually, but wish that it could be fixed in the future, maybe.
-
Hey.
Had the same issue.Had to add my FSX SE path manually =(
-
Same for me, and never happened since i formatted my computer and installed FSX SE only. I have nearly every FSDT airport + GSX previous version installed without a hitch.
-
Same here, though I previously today install FlightBeam KDEM which seems to use the same detection routine (same kind of window) which detected it perfecly fine. Also installed PMDG 747 yesterday with no issue at all either.

With the help of Airshinx_13, that I had a quick Teamviewer session with, we found the problem and, in fact, I'd say it is an installer bug, a result of more and more paranoid tests against possible foul combinations of missing files, folders, etc.
No need to download anything, you should be able to fix by creating this empty folder:
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\FSX-SE
If you don't have FSX, the installer won't use it, but if it's there, it should now continue. It was a result of trying to detect an improper partial FSX uninstall, which sometimes happens.
-
Do i have to create only the folder ?Or do i have to reinstall ?
-
Do i have to create only the folder ?Or do i have to reinstall ?
You said you were able to install by adding the folder manually, which I guess you meant you used the "Browse sim..." button, which is there for the precise reason to allow you to find a supported simulator if the installer cannot find it for some reason.
I don't think you have to reinstall but, since you then posted a crash, which doesn't obviously happen here ( I only use FSX:SE ), maybe reinstalling might help. Yes, you need to create that empty folder, and reinstall.
-
Hi Umberto! Nice update there...So I was wondering if we need to do anything else manually to get the PMDG 747 V3 to work properly? because GSX is still behaving just like before the update was installed.
I'm not being notified by the catering crew to open doors, they'll go right through them.
Loading of baggage/cargo positions are messed up. both of them are in the aft cargo area right next to each other. which doesn't make sense because I don't see how those giant crates could fit in the bulk cargo area.
Also because they're so close together maybe that's what's stopping the animations from happening. (this will interrupt the boarding process indefinitely)
I also get notified to open "exit 2" constantly with this aircraft. everything is opened and I still get prompted with that...Any ideas?
Regards, Laurentino.
-
ok it seems to work thanks for your help
-
GSX is still behaving just like before the update was installed.
That's because you probably already downloaded a customization made by another user, and user customizations always take precedence over the internal one, as explained here, in this same thread:
http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,15013.msg109172.html#msg109172
-
Thank you for the update. I wonder if you can tell me why my installation has stalled at this point?
https://www.dropbox.com/s/zju5obj5mcocp0c/GSX_hangup.jpg?dl=0
The installation has stopped at this point and not progressed for 30 minutes.
I am using Windows 7 Pro
-
I have played with it some more. During pushback the plane is jumping and rocking a bit, I can also see the steering tiller move trying to fight GSX I think. You told you are already in contact with PMDG so I guess this will be solved soon enough.
The other problem I have is during boarding with the 747F. It loads the ULDs but gets stuck on boarding crew and doesn't let me push back, because thanks to this update the pushback now waits for the boarding to be completed. How do I get it to finish the crew boarding? By the way, I say no bus or van come with the crew, but I remember seeing pics of it on here.
Also, some time ago you mentioned a "time remaining for boarding" countdown would come in an update. Any news on that?
Cheers,
Fabrizio

Hello,
I'm getting an error upon opening FSX after installation of the new update. Please see my attached photo.
Thank you!
-
May I know if the download link of vehicle updates posted in GSX page is really updated? The date shown above the link is last year...
-
Could you confirm that the modules installed during the GSX upgrade are already compatible with the new P3D v3.4.22?.
Thanks, Ed
-
Hello,

Hello,
Same problem here
FSX crashes If you choose to load the module, if not the game loads correctly but with no GSX
Non Steam edition

Restart Windows and reinstall. ALWAYS allow to load the module and ALWAYS ignore the message.

Hello,
I did restart and reinstall. Still receive the same error and the same fatal error crash with FSX. (NOT steam). I am running installation and FSX as Admin. No virus protection is running.

The installation has stopped at this point and not progressed for 30 minutes.
I am using Windows 7 Pro
So, after an hour with no response from my computer, I closed down the window showing the SODE Platform Manager and the installation carried on to complete. Everything suggested "WAIT" so I waited. I wonder why the installation wanted that particular window to be closed before it would carry on?
-
Good Afternoon,
I have downloaded the update and it is working great with the Passenger PMDG 747 V3 but it does not find the correct doors on the Freighter version. Both cargo lifters proceed to the rear aft cargo door and ask for entry 2 to be opened.
Kind Regards,
Bryan.

Hello,
I have the same problem.
FSX crashes If Ichoose to load the module whith this message : "bglmanx.dll. Entry point Not found
The procedure entry point K32num Process Modules could not be located in the dybamic library kernel32.dll"
If not, the game loads correctly without GSX.
I restart windows (VISTA) and run the full GSX Insraller as administrator. The result is the same.

Greeting's All,
I got this following error after installing v1.9.11 and requested de-icing (it happen at the point the trucks came and was about to select fluid type). I gave the option to restart Coulat and to download the Stand Alone Addon Manager.

Considering it was after installing the new version from the full installer, do I still need to download the addon manager?
UPDATE:
I tried a second flight, same airport different gate and aircraft. The first was with Aerosoft A319 and the second with PMDG B777. Got an error at the same stage of flight prep, de-icing. see log below.

I spended a lot of money in all FSD, after update a lost all, sorry I´m not happy with this, I will think before buy my next FSD. To let know, I tryed all solution proposted here, no sucess!
-
Major Update...More like a MAJOR Disaster.
-
The solution:
Uninstall GSX
Interrupt the Internet connection
GSX FSX Setup Exe (older version) as Addmin run
After that it should run again
With the "Major Update" it does not run
Here it worked so well
Good luck
Ps. Kindly supported by User RZI 2001 ;)
-
No solution, sorry, but it can't work:
GSX installer ALLWAYS tries to connect to home server to get data for installation, and if it can't connect, no data are avalialbe for installation, it simply hangs.
I just tried, to be sure, and it happend just like this.
Virtuali must rework the GSX update, there is a heavy bug inside.
Greetings,
Michael

This update broke all of my FSDT airports, and I have every one of them. Installed the update and then went to 5 different FSDT airports in FSX-SE and some only have jetways (not attached to anything) and others have nothing. Basically, the airports look like a blank space. There was no effect on my non-FSDT airports however, but I'm hoping this can get fixed shortly.
Cheers, Pete

hi, seems to be I´m not alone.... with this "Major Disaster"
I even get one more error message (02.jpg)
How to install the further version?
Dieter
-
Did you guys even both to vet this before releasing it? Ever since I've installed it I've had P3D and FSX SE doesn't run write if it even bothers to finish its boot process completely. 90% of the time it just hangs up during the process. The fix....reinstall GSX..cool it runs for 3 or 4 times then it just hangs up again. I can't just uninstall this mess either, I've tried that whatever corruption your GSX update did it lingers after the uninstall so now I'm at uninstalling P3D and FSX SE and starting fresh without GSX. Please for the love of god, properly vet your service updates before you release them!

:o :o >:( :( :( :( :( Hello DreamTeam Support, as with everyone here in the forum having these same issues with the newly released MAJOR UPDATE! Well as you see that did not go well indeed! For some its a problem, for some a big deal and others a BIG DISASTER... having the same issues as everyone else. Download the update and NOW NOTHING is working FSX crashes depending on your answer of yes or no to the library warning. When selecting No... fsx loads but buildings don't appear, No control manager in the add ons tab. Without going through and explaining all that has happened since the update, what are your immediate plans to fix the problems? Is there a way to roll back to the previous version of GSX? I'm a member of a small club which we have 5 PC's running GSX. This club helps and teaches young adults the aspects of flight and now we are, unfortunately having to go back to the standard fsx default ways of the fsx experience.... ??? The airport add ons are useless to us in this manner. Please let us know how to resolve the issue. I am sure your customer base, I hope as I have learned not to jump on any updates as soon as they are released. This is going to leave a bitter taste in your customers base, as to really trust future updates. So, like ALL, we will be waiting for the HOT FIX!
-
By chance I have full backup of all drives in my PC. I can go back to a stable FSX state by removing and restoring the FsDreamteam folder, the Simobjects\misc folder and all the bglman*.* files in FSX root.
-
FSX 64bit
before your last (major) update everything worked as a charm (do have most airports and GSX from FSDT)
without going into details...
GSX and all folders in the right place
did re-install of KIAH and after that GSX with norton anti-virus off and checked for the exeptions bglmanx.dll and ... Couatl.exe in the scan exclusions of Norton anti-virus
but couatl engine stops working and the GSX tab is not visible in the add-on tab inside FSX (nor the add on manager tab inside FSX)
regards,
Hans
-
Did you guys even both to vet this before releasing it?
Obviously yes, we launch the sim like 100 times at day and, of course, no problems whatsoever. The difficult issue, is understand what other programs we never heard of it might conflict with.
-
The only thing the majority of us installed prior to your update was the PMDG 747 v.3. However, I've uninstalled that program, and reinstalled your update and I still get the same outcome. As of now, I continue to say that the issue is something that is being installed during the "live update" portion of the GSX/Add-on manager installation. I only say this because I used a full GSX installer that was downloaded on August 1st, 2016 that would not have included any of the new features. However, that installer still launched "new" items like the deicing pads during the "live update" portion of the installation. I would gather the issue lies in this section of the installation as the same installer worked fine in August.
Thanks,
-Dan-

Anyone can give the filesize of the new bglmanx.dll? I didn't note it but I remember it was around 2Mb greater than the previous one I restored (1.78Mb)?

Its not even GSX no more. Its also the sceneries. My JFKV2 does not load up. Please provide a fix soon for this :/
-

It's not possible to provide a fix, I cannot reproduce it. So, the only possible way is by cooperation with someone having it, and have a Teamviewer session with him to check his system and see what's causing it.
Someone affected should contact me in private to arrange that.
-
Is it possible to provide to an installer that will deliver just the base files for GSX without adding the "live update" portion of the installer? I'd like to see if that makes a difference. As I said above even my prior installer doesn't work. It has to be something that's being feed in the live update portion of the install...
-
I have downloaded the update and it is working great with the Passenger PMDG 747 V3 but it does not find the correct doors on the Freighter version. Both cargo lifters proceed to the rear aft cargo door and ask for entry 2 to be opened.
We updated this already. Just run the installer again to get it.
-

Just disconnect the network. But I doubt it would make any difference, since the new installer contains the same files that would have been downloaded so, if you are getting a crash, it doesn't have anything to do with the Live update.
As I've said in several other threads, I cannot reproduce it. So, the only possible way is by cooperation with someone having it, and have a Teamviewer session with him to check his system and see what's causing it.

I sent you a message. My main problem for this now is that it takes my sim longer to start. I also use EZDOK and it gives me a simconnect error each time i start FSX:SE. I tried uninstalling and doing clean installs of gsx and EZDOK and when its EZDOK alone my sim is working fine. With the scenery, it looks like the coutali.exe fails because i get a prompt as soon as i spawn in. I hope to find a solution for these issues.
-
I have some info that may be of help to some. If you are fortunate enough to have a prior version of GSX and want to install it, I have something that may help. First: turn off the internet connection, then run the install as administrator. Start FSX ( I cannot speak for other sim formats) Assuming you get a install prompt window DO NOT click on install. Click on "options" on the left side of the window and select install from there. If you should get the .dll error message say yes. Hopefully your prior version will now install. This worked for me. I realize all systems are different, so this may not help everyone. It seems we as consumers may have to work to help each other. Personally I think it would be nice for FSDT to at least post the prior major update once again so that at least some of us may succeed in installing it. As is often the case, denial runs rampant. It is our software, our add ons, our system. Anything but the developers fault. At this point I think most of us know better. Show us some support FSDT and solve the problem, or at least re offer the last version with fuel trucks etc. I really hope this helps some of you.
Blue skies,
Bill C

This was totally unnecessary. Do you realize you are contradicting yourself here ?
I realize all systems are different,
YES, exactly, all systems are different, which is why your "denial runs rampant" was really uncalled for, as if you were trying to say we can SEE this problem on our systems, yet we are "denying" it exists ?
Do you think we would be crazy uploading something we know had such problem, if we really noticed it ? Or that we haven't tested it ? We maybe made a mistake of not doing some Public Beta, like with the previous update.
But even then, after more than a month of public Beta, with hundreds of people downloading it, were we were reasonably sure there were no problems, after it was released officially, we got a whole new set of issues that nobody reported before, which were (of course) ALL fixed in this version.
It seems we as consumers may have to work to help each other.
Which exactly the opposite of what is happening, instead. It's 2:13 AM in the night, it's Sunday, and I'm offering to HELP with Teamviewer, in addition to replying to all posts to "deny"...
-
My my, aren't we defensive. As I stated in another post I tried the install on 3 separate computers with different OS. The result was the same; no install!
So, my question remains; regardless of cause or fault, why not once again offer the prior version which worked perfectly and just might make a lot of people happy.
Or you can just complain about different points of view. The fact remains; numerous people cannot install, and have lost use of a product they paid for.

I'm having the first Teamviewer session right now and (in this case it was P3D, crash on start) and it turned out to be FSUIPC, and it's something that Pete Dowson seems to be aware of.
As soon as I disabled FSUIPC, everything started to work again.

Umberto,
Please continue the great work and the great support.

Something nasty happened after installing EITHER the Hawaiian Airports OR this Major update 1.9.9.11. The long and short of it was I ended up, after a stable complete install of P3D w/ multiple add ons since 9/2015, with a complete format and restore off of a cloned copy of my C:\ drive where OS & P3D reside, done not too long ago, so it's quite up-to-date. The changes made in GSX might be great I don't know, but some things have changed and I'm really bent on keeping things the same. This is why I haven't upgraded P3D beyond 3.0. I'm wondering if maybe the Major update has issues w/ P3D 3.0, or maybe the Hawaiian Airports. One or the other created a conflict w/ the PMDG 777, apparently that is the only plane that was having this particular problem. The NGX wasn't having the issue, nor the Majestic Dash 8 nor RA Turbine Duke. Resintalling the 777 didn't fix the issue, not did uninstalling the airports. I don't believe there was a way to revert to a former version of the Object Flow model, so I think perhaps that is what messed me up w/the 777. Who knows!
In any case my long-winded question is simply: How can I turn OFF the notifications that a 'new version of the Object Flow model' or whatever it is that gets GSX updated, so that it stop's displaying when P3D initializes? I don't want to accidentally install it, I'd like to keep everything exactly as it is currently. But I would like to get those Hawaiian Airports back!
Thank you I really enjoy GSX and have for ages. I've got it working great w/ FSCaptain and really hate to disturb anything that does what I want it to do.

Please contact me in private to arrange a Teamviewer session, because it's the only way I could see what's the problem in your case, since we are still unable to reproduce it in any way.

I also have issues with Hotfix 3
If i install GSX with latest installer it starts then minimises and P3d wont show GUI
But remains active in task manager.
If i uninstall GSX and other bits i can start P3d normally.
If i install just an airport like KLAS P3d wont start. Uninstall KLAS and it starts normally.

This looks exactly like the problem I experienced with another user on Teamviewer, and it's caused by FSUIPC (which is not fully compatible with P3D Hotfix 3 ) and this has been acknowledged by Pete Dowson, a discussed here:

Hello again. I never meant to upset anyone, I am just working on a solution to this problem; very frustrating. By the way, for me it is now 12:15 pm so I hope it is not 2am for anyone :)
Anyway, I think we are on the right track. I have FSX. I tried installing the latest update by first removing fsuipc. Guess what; it installed and works. I replaced the fsuipc file back into
FSX and it all still works. My problem now is I am afraid to try it on my main computer with 100Gigs of stuff and risk losing anything. I am curious why during testing that this issue did not stand out? Was fsuipc not on the systems or is it only an issue with random systems? I also noticed that if Stand alone addon mgr and vehicle update is used instead of full install, the new fuel truck etc does not show. Full install is needed. Is this just my experience or is there a reason? I updated from version 1.9.9.5
Hope this really is the answer

Glad to hear that.

You won't ever lose anything. Anytime you suspect a module might cause a problem, you should just disabled it from the XML files, without touching anything else.
I am curious why during testing that this issue did not stand out? Was fsuipc not on the systems or is it only an issue with random systems?
The FSUIPC issue is mainly a P3D issue, but I see the random "bad .dll" from FSUIPC a couple of times in FSX too. It seems to be mostly random, but in some way related to the "trust this module" question FSX makes, when trusting a newly updated program that has been just updated, and this is triggering some kind of old FSX bug because, sometimes it simply goes away by itself, sometimes just by updating the module again (even with no real changes), just to force FSX to re-trust it.
I also noticed that if Stand alone addon mgr and vehicle update is used instead of full install, the new fuel truck etc does not show. Full install is needed. Is this just my experience or is there a reason? I updated from version 1.9.9.5
Yes, that's entirely expected. The new Fuel truck which was released in December, required a Full GSX installe ( 1.9.9.10 at that time ). After you are on this one, you can then update GSX just with the Stand-Alone Addon Manager and the vehicle Updates, but you cannot jump from 1.9.9.5 to 1.9.9.11 directly that way, only with the full 1.9.9.11 installer.

The upgrade of GSX has resulted in the blocking of all FsDreamTeam and FlightBeam programs including, GSX, AddonManager, KFLL, KORD and KPHX and KDEN.
I am aware that your team has been unable to replicate the failure, but I can assure you that the upgrade instructions included were followed to the tee! I can also assure you that Virus and/or Firewall has the necessary exclusions to allow the program(s) to communicate. I can assure you that ALL programs and even the DeskTop Icons to call them are run in Admin mode. The UAC on the computer has been removed, but I still designate Admin when installing new software. I can also assure you that despite never even hearing of your XPOI program, I have removed the entries I located in the FSDreamTeam directory tree. I use the unregistered current version of FSUIPC and have never had a problem.
I have removed and/or reinstalled GSX and the AddonManager more times than I care to remember. I even located the original 2016 setup program and tried to revert back to the OLD BUT GREAT previous version.
There have been no FSX failures and/or messages that I can recall only the absence of the GSX program and the AddOn Manager in my menus.
My System: FSX + Acceleration, WIN7X64, Intel Core i7-3820 CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60GHz
I have MANY addons installed on the machine including REX4 Texture Direct with Soft Clouds and REX WorldWide airports HD. Also many ORBX FTX Global, LC and Airports plus FTXCentral, FTX Vector and ORBX A/C. Use ActiveSky 2016 and ActiveSky Cloud Art for WX.
My observation, although I know nothing about computer programming, is that until I installed the GSX upgrade, everything worked! As much as I like the GSX program, I will gladly do without it if only my previously installed FSDreamTeam and FlightBeam scenery (plus perhaps yet unidentified programs that depend on the engine) once again function.
I've spent many hours scouring the FORUM for suggestions but alas NO JOY!
I'm confused, frustrated and old......Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. If a HOT FIX, revised U/G or end user procedure is published, please advise.
Thanks

Hello Bill
What version of FSUIPC are you using?
I am using an older version (FSUIPC version 4.949g) and am reluctant to try the latest version for FSX in case it make the already problems worse.
-
There have been no FSX failures and/or messages that I can recall only the absence of the GSX program and the AddOn Manager in my menus.
This means your problem doesn't have anything to do with what has been discussed here for the most part, which were crashes with error message and issues with FSUIPC or other addons.
Yours is just a "missing menus" problem, which is entirely different, and commonly caused by the antivirus blocking the installation.
This thread here list many possible reason for the missing menus problem:
http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,8428.msg68872.html#msg68872
If you tried all of them, and nothing works, then please contact me in private to arrange a Teamviewer session, so I can have a look at your system

I am using FSUIPC version 4.9.4.9. I just installed the latest GSX update into my main computer with FSUIPC removed. It installed just fine. I am noticing one problem at
this time. I cannot activate De Icing. I have tried default 737 PMDG 747. Outside temp set at 5 degrees F. Dew at 30 F but no prompts for de icing at pushback. Not sure
why. The de icing points show on the aircraft custom screen. Also this is the case on both systems, so it is not an install problem. Everything else works. Any ideas welcome.
Bill C
-
Well, I need to add that I finally got the de ice trucks to arrive. I set the weather to massive snow storm and they appeared.
I am guessing that now a moist condition is required not just temp/dew point. Maybe someone can clear this up for me. I am in California and we really
don't know much about de icing. :)

I got this following error after installing v1.9.11 and requested de-icing (it happen at the point the trucks came and was about to select fluid type). I gave the option to restart Coulat and to download the Stand Alone Addon Manager. Please, help!

Outside temp set at 5 degrees F. Dew at 30 F but no prompts for de icing at pushback.
That's not an installer problem or a bug, it's how the deicing code is working right now, the temperature must be less than 8°C and dew point must be WITHIN 2°C of the temperature, or it must either raining or snowing.
Having the Dew point higher than the temperature doesn't seem a very likely case, at least on the surface. However, we can easily change the code to always consider icing possible if the Dew point is either close to the temperature, or higher (regardless how it's close)

After the update I am having issues with GSX and the PMDG 747 v3. When on a gate without a jetway all the stairs went through the aircraft and to the right side of the aircraft. I had to align the stairs for Exit 1,2 and 4 myself. Then when I try to board the aircraft I get a message stating that GSX is waiting for exit 2 and 4 to open but they are opened already. I have tried different setting in the "Aircraft Customization" for all the exits but GSX is not recognizing those exits as being opened.
I am on FSX Steam, running Windows 10. I am at Aerosoft Heathrow on Gate 558.
EDIT:
And now even at jetways I am experiencing issues with the doors. Just tried boarding at FlyTampa EHAM at gate E20 and getting a similar problem. GSX message asks for exit 1 to be opened even if the door is opened.
-
I have tried different setting in the "Aircraft Customization" for all the exits but GSX is not recognizing those exits as being opened.
You shouldn't even use an aircraft customization to begin with, since the PMDG 747 is internally supported and it works. If it's not working for you, the only possible reason is that you tried to configure it, and made some kind of mistake.
Use the "RESET" button in the airplane configuration page, to remove all your customization and use the one that comes with GSX.
-
First, let me say thank you for the products I use and the support that I see you provide. First time post, long time troll! ;)
Now on to my issue...basically the same as these individuals...
Hello,

Hello,
Same problem here
FSX crashes If you choose to load the module, if not the game loads correctly but with no GSX
Non Steam edition
FSX crashes If you choose to load the module, if not the game loads correctly but with no GSX
Restart Windows and reinstall. ALWAYS allow to load the module and ALWAYS ignore the message.
Hello,
I have the same problem.
FSX crashes If Ichoose to load the module whith this message : "bglmanx.dll. Entry point Not found
The procedure entry point K32num Process Modules could not be located in the dybamic library kernel32.dll"
If not, the game loads correctly without GSX.
I restart windows (VISTA) and run the full GSX Insraller as administrator. The result is the same.
hi, seems to be I´m not alone.... with this "Major Disaster"
I even get one more error message (02.jpg)
How to install the further version?
Dieter
The only response from Umberto was essentially to restart your computer.
GSX, KDFW and KORD worked fine before the major update which I did on Monday. Now I get the error noted previously...hit "YES" to CTD, "NO" to continue without Couatl (which means no GSX, KDFW and KORD).
This is FSX (not Steam), Vista (same as someone posted before). A quick google search indicated the K32Enumprocess would not work in Vista. I am not saying that is the problem but I throw that nugget out there.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not too keen on having to download additional applications to get support (TeamViewer) however, I will if it truly necessary.
Thank you.
-
The only response from Umberto was essentially to restart your computer.
This is the correct reply, if you only get the "bad 3rd party program" error message, and NOTHING ELSE.
If you ALSO got the K32Enumprocess, which is ANOTHER and ADDITIONAL message which appears AFTER that one, which only very few users on Vista reported, my reply was again the correct one, saying this was in fact a problem with a call which is not supported in Vista anymore.
But as I've said, we fixed this, and are not using this call in the current version of the Addon Manager .DLL, the one which has been online since Feb 9th, which everybody will automatically get, by installing anything from FSDT after that date.
However, since (as I also said), nobody at FSDT ever uses Vista anymore, since it's basically an unsupported OS right now (even Chrome and Gmail won't be support it shortly ), it's still possible there might be other remaining issues with it we are not aware. The K32Enumprocess problem was discovered after a session with an user using Vista so, if you still have this error, I suggest having a Teamviewer session, so I could check it.
-
I installed the major update on Monday, Feb 20. Restarting computer did not help.
Is there a way to install previous version which worked?
-
I installed the major update on Monday, Feb 20. Restarting computer did not help.
You still haven't replied to my previous question: do you still have the K32Enumprocess error ? If yes, restarting doesn't apply to you, and it's just an issue of using Vista.
Is there a way to install previous version which worked?
No, because it won't work anymore with anything else, so you'll be stuck with the previous GSX version, which had several issues which has been fixed in the release notes.
And, of course, it would be the wrong way to "fix" the problem. The correct way of fixing the problem, is to find the real cause and fix it in the CURRENT version.
Which is why, I asked the cooperation with someone using Vista, because we simply cannot test it, let alone reproduce it.
-
I understand the issues with Vista, however, I have a dedicated computer for FSX which uses Vista. I am not insisting that you/FSDreateam be required to support it or continue to support it going forward but at least let us know ahead of time or give us a final update that is functional and we can part ways.
Please let me know how I can assist. I sent PM to schedule Teamview session if you are interested. Thank you.
-

May I ask if there are plans to support the PMDG 747 cargo variant's nose cargo door? Also, same aircraft, cargo variant, the boarding stair does not seem to reach up to the door(s).
-
May I ask if there are plans to support the PMDG 747 cargo variant's nose cargo door?
Nose cargo doors might be a bit tricky, and require some special handling so, no promises, but surely taken into account for future versions.
Also, same aircraft, cargo variant, the boarding stair does not seem to reach up to the door(s).
It surely does it. If doesn't on your system, it's likely because your configuration is wrong, most likely because you tried to customized it before we supported it, made some kind of error, but now your configuration is taking over, since user customizations always have the priority over the GSX internal one. So, be sure you installed the current Live Update, and RESET the airplane configuration to default.
-
hello,
i have two problem. one: fuel truck keep going under the plane.
two: i dont hear any sounds coming from the passengers boarding or deboarding.ive check under the fsx, coualt, gsx, sounds . i see 14 wav deboarding files and 10 wav boarding files.
i uninstalled gsx, install the new update, even the new vehicules update but still no sounds from boarding or debording passengers. for the trucks everything work fine.
thank you for the update and thank you for your reply.
lucien paquette,
-
i have two problem. one: fuel truck keep going under the plane.
That's because you haven't configured the fuel point. Some of the airplanes included with GSX have the fuel point pre-configured, but not all of them.
i uninstalled gsx, install the new update, even the new vehicules update but still no sounds from boarding or debording passengers. for the trucks everything work fine.
If the airplane you use it's a cargo plane, you won't hear passenger sounds, which is of course correct. Before, they always played.
-
hello,
ok for the passengers sounds i found what you told me and its working great now.
but maybe im surely mixed up now because i dont find where to configure the fuel point.
the fuel truck still under the airplanes. im using ifly 737-600
thank you,
lucien paquette montreal, quebec.
-
hello,
finally i found it. GSX-CUSTOMIZE. thank you for your hint and advises.
everything is working great now.
just two question ? will we be able to have it automatic for the fuel position for ifly jets in the future ? because i tried it for the 737-600-700-800-900 and everytime i had to do it manually. thats not a problem but just asking it. also very anxious to wait for Passengers...i know its a big job, but im dreaming of it like many people.
is there a list of normaly positionning fuel truck ?
thank you very much.
lucien paquette
-
hello sorry, i just saw that ifly jets are already in the supported airplanes.
thank you,
lucien paquette
-
because i tried it for the 737-600-700-800-900 and everytime i had to do it manually.
Why you say "everytime" ? You do it only once, the first time you use that airplane, then the setting is saved.
-
Hi,
should it be possibile to get the fuel truck in a side position (as I nearly always see in the airports) instead of its actual one (under the aircraft belly or colliding with the wings)?
Thanks for any answer,
regards,
Fulvio
-
should it be possibile to get the fuel truck in a side position (as I nearly always see in the airports) instead of its actual one (under the aircraft belly or colliding with the wings)?
As everything with GSX, before you can use an airplane, it must configured with the editor. There's no such thing as an "official" refueling position that GSX can read from the airplane directly, so you MUST define one with the GSX airplane configuration editor, otherwise it's just unset.
The "under the belly" position, means 0,0,0, which indicates you never configured that airplane fuel point, so it stays at its default position.
We pre-configured SOME of the default airplanes and SOME of the 3rd party supported airplanes with a pre-made fuel position, but most of them require you editing the airplane refuel point using the airplane configuration editor.

Hi,
I didn't find any documentation about ther de-icing pads in KORD and LSZH. I couldn't get this feature working in icing conditions. I could de-ice from stand or gate but not at the pad...
Thanks for you help :)
Fly safe ! :)
-
I didnt find any documentation about ther de-icing pads in KORD and LSZH. I couldn't get this feature working in icing conditions. I could de-ice from stand or gate but not at the pad...
The deicing pads are listed in the manual, in the airport chart ( Pad 14 and 32 at O'Hare ), so you just go there, stop the plane, and if the conditions are right ( the same as GSX ), the deicers will appear. Also, the YouControl menu at O'Hare and Zurich has options to Warp you there instantly.

Right now KDFW scenery, KORD scenery, and GSX do not work (all FSDreamteam products, no other vendors have issues). I paid for these products and they worked fine until the last major update. Please provide update on status of fix, if any, or process to identify and refund all VISTA users.
There is no reason why the scenery should not work or adequate support be available since the update just happened.

You have the following choices:
- Don't use the last update.
- Wait for the next update, which will hopefully work again under Vista (but we never tested it, and we won't test it or guarantee it will)
- Upgrade to a SUPPORTED OS:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/22882/windows-vista-end-of-support
Since Vista, as of April 2017, has been officially unsupported by Microsoft, we don't believe we have any obligation to keep support it with updates. As I've said, you can still use the version you bought, which worked under Vista when you bought it, but you cannot demand will continue to support Vista with updates, when not even Microsoft is doing that. Does Office 2016 works under Vista ? No, it doesn't. And before the end of the year, not even Chrome/Gmail will work anymore.
Hint:
If you run the installer you got when you bought the product with the NETWORK DISABLED, it will skip the automatic download of the updated files which no longer work under Vista, so you'll get the version which was current when you bought it, which surely works on Vista.
-
Thank you for the assistance. Installing from previous version without internet connection worked. I will not upgrade the product. In addition, given the support fro VISTA is questionable I do not foresee purchasing another product from FSDT.
Again, thank you for your fairly prompt responses. I truly appreciate your efforts, sir.
Also...please stop talking about upgrading OS - I get it - I know - it is just this one computer used for one thing!
Finally, you might consider updating the supported OS systems on product details:
GSX - "...and runs under Windows Vista, 7, 8 and 10."
KDFW - "...and runs under Windows Vista, 7, 8 and 10."
KORD - "...and runs under Windows Vista, 7, 8 and 10."
I do not want FSDT to have legal issues for false advertising when it clearly does not work on VISTA and you are clear that any updates may or may not work with VISTA (not tested and not guaranteed).
-

You will, when you'll update the OS. And, as I've said, it's very likely the next update will work on Vista. But nobody of us will test it, that's it.
Also...please stop talking about upgrading OS - I get it - I know - it is just this one computer used for one thing!
You will update the OS, that's for sure. You are talking as if Vista were a particularly good OS for flight simming, while instead is one of the worse OS release Microsoft had in his history, which nearly brought down the company...
I do not want FSDT to have legal issues for false advertising when it clearly does not work on VISTA and you are clear that any updates may or may not work with VISTA (not tested and not guaranteed).
The webpage has already been updated these days, precisely for the reason that, the end of support for Vista happened just 8 days ago. You are probably looking at a cached version of the site, but if you refresh the page, you'll see that Vista is not longer listed.

The notification system for the Live Update hasn't been updated yet. It will soon, we hope. At this time, you just run the FSDT Live Update, and this will ensure everything is updated, but there's no notification of updates, yet.

Perfect, thank you ;)

How does one update GSX to the latest version without redownloading it manually and installing it? I thought I had the latest version of GSX 2.0.0 but when something happened to my P3D v4 install and I was trying to troubleshoot a problem that I had, I end up redownloading GSX again from your website and reinstalling, and notice that this time that the version is 2.0.2 or something. I can't recall the exact numbers.
Is there a change log or version history of GSX anywhere? I would like to see what has been fix/changed/added. I wish there was an easier way to update GSX without redownloading it. There's no notification of a new version or anything.
-

I just recently ran the new GSX updater/installer and when I was loading into my simulator I got a message stating that Couatl could not run and to turn off anti-virus and allow the file path for the new GSX control panel or to run the installer again. So 1.) I am not running an anti-virus so that isn't a factor so I ran the installer again and now its completely freezing my sim in the loading screen and its making it app hang and its Couatl thats causing the app hang... Its one problem after another since I've used the new installer and my other problem in another forum hasn't even been looked at but instead skipped over...
-
Couatl cannot hang the sim. An external .exe simply cannot do that.
In addition to that, if you saw that message about Couatl that couldn't start, that should be ample evidence Couatl cannot be the cause of your sim crashing. How a program that hasn't even started can possibly cause the sim to crash ?
Try running the FSDT Live Update after a Windows restart.

Hi Umberto,
Quick question,
If i stayed in GSX (level 1), why all my default jetways were moddified to SODE jetways? And now they are unusable (says cannot identify a triggerable object... etc).
So basically after the last update i cant use any jetway of default airports because they changed to SODE and dont respond to any command...
Im running SODE 1.6.3
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards
Leonardo

They have been automatically replaced, so you can TRY them on a Trial airport.
(says cannot identify a triggerable object... etc).
SODE jetways made by GSX cannot be used with the TAB-S SODE command. They must be used from GSX.
So basically after the last update i cant use any jetway of default airports because they changed to SODE and dont respond to any command...
This has been already discussed and answered so many times on the forum: we haven't "hijacked" your jetways to force you to buy GSX Level 2. We wanted to let you TRY them, since we are sure you will never want to go back to the ugly, unreliable, default system you had before.
But of course, in order to let you TRY the new jetways (in Trial airports), we had to disable the default ones, otherwise you would see double overlapped jetways everywhere!
Of course, if you are not interested in GSX Level 2 and the new jetways, you can restore your Default Jetways, using the GSX Control Panel utility. Look at the GSX manual, Page 44, which explains how to use it.

thank you for the update I can see you've also fixed everything I raised, so thanks, really appreciated, looks brilliant I have 2 questions
1. In my excitement and hurry i just ran an update (seemed to use the new updater and is churning away as we speak - will this come back to bite me as I didnt download the full installer ?
2. I have 1 error box come up
Value of '196711594' is not valid for 'Value'. 'Value' should be between max and min, paramter name: Value
Happy Sunday
-
Yes, same for me. Then Coutl crashes before the sim opens!!
-
2. I have 1 error box come up Value of '196711594' is not valid for 'Value'. 'Value' should be between max and min, paramter name: Value
I can only confirm this error doesn't happen in the current update, it only appeared for a few hours after release, but we fixed it. It wasn't serious, the only effect is the update process might take a bit longer, but it will still work.
-
i don't think this was posted before.
But after the update, the Men doing the catering service are now blacked out (see attachment)
What did I do wrong with this update? or was this a known issue
-

Nobody has reported it before, but you don't say which simulator (exact version) you use.
-
Sorry,
FSX: Acceleration I think its the last one with the service pack before they moved it to steam
-
We'll check this. Does it happen with every catering vehicle, or just some specific operators ?
-
So far everyone has had this issue. everything else seems to work
-
The problem should be fixed by running the FSDT Live Update now.

Haven't you realized this thread is more than 2 years old ? Some people confused it with the 2019 update, and posted here so no, it's not "9 pages", it's just a couple of posts made by TWO users, with BOTH problems obviously fixed as soon they were reported, as usual.

Hello. Who knows what happens,? After updating GSX I can't Use any airport with SODE JETWAYS. Custom or Default. I kill more than a week to resolve it. Try to delete GSX icao.ini customs files. Try to delete Prepar3D.cfg . NOTHING!/ If I try open any airport with jetways or create a jetway I will see those errors!(attachments)
With previous GSX everything works fine( if I rollback with a backup and doing nothing more)
I use P3D v4.5 Two same Nvidia 2070 in one PC.(not SLI) Use Custom group views in P3D to operate 3 screen views.
I found that problem appear if group views havebeen enabled
Please help I wanna use GSX further.
May still use the previous version, but the license activation system will be alive only for two months ( as Virtually said)
-
I suggest to report this to LM, because such kind of error cannot possibly be caused by GSX.
Updating GSX might just have triggered some kind of bug the simulator already had, but won't appear until an add-on made use of some of the features used by GSX, like PBR and DirectX rendering, but the real cause of the problem must be something happening inside the sim, or the video driver.

But the previous version of GSX working quite good with this config. How I can use my previous version with my license?

You can't and you shouldn't. Even if we made the old installer available, since Esellerate will close its activation servers in September, after that date it won't be possible to reactivate anything, unless you use the latest version.

Hi Mr FSDT,
I've reinstall GSX with the new update, plus reinstall GSX-2 and now, no GSX is running on my FSX-Steam. Everything was working very fine before the update. Now neither FSDT-CYVR and GSX are working anymore. I'm not a genious techno, but I'm not happy at all. What do you suggest me? When i go in the addon manager and try to it says that I'm in the trial version. When I try to register the serial, nothing happens. When I open in CYVR, it says that FSDT trial version has begun. Can you help me?
-

Do you see the “Addon Manager” and the “GSX” menu under the “Addons” menu of the simulator ? If not, try this:
- Configure the antivirus to exclude the whole Add-on Manager folder from scanning.
- Try the Live Update again, or reinstall GSX using its most current installer, to be found under the "Products and Downloads" page of our site.
If that still doesn't work, the thread named "Addon Manager not showing up in P3Dv4 **SOLVED**" thread lists all the known solutions for missing menu entries from the "Addons" menu:
http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,17484.msg122656.html#msg122656
Even if the title says P3D4, the solutions are valid for FSX as well.

I have the same issue. I reinstalled GSX multiple times together with Simconnect, VB2005,2012 and 2015.
When I start P3D I see that Couatl.exe is in the task manager but as soon as I click to load the scenery it disappears. Then when I click on add-ons in P3D I only see the addon manager. GSX is in trial mode and I tried to activate GSX but it says that the couatl scripting engine hasn't been started. Even though I made an exception in my AV and turned it completely off during the installation of GSX.
I hope you could help me.
