Couatl engine does not appear no matter what.....
« on: May 27, 2014, 12:07:31 pm »
Hi, I'm currently facing a problem where the couatl powered product does not appeared under the "addon" tap.

Yes I have reinstalled it countless number of times. Including turning off my antivirus, firewall etc etc..

And yes, I did allow addon manager to run.

Funny thing is that, when I click on the couatl.exe file, it says that it is corrupted.......

Please help me, if not I have wasted SG$ 50 bucks on this product

Thanks

Clear indication that your antivirus has corrupted, trying to "heal" it, because it has mistakenly identified as a threat.

If you paid for your antivirus, then yes, you have wasted your money on *that* one, since it's not doing its job, which is protecting from real threats, not legit programs.

As explained in many other threads about the antivirus, you must:

- Download and install with the Antivirus TURNED OFF, entirely

- BEFORE trying to launch FSX for the firs time, configure the antivirus to exclude the following files from scanning:

YourFSXFolder\bglmanx.dll
YourFSXFolder\fsdreamteam\Couatl\Couatl.exe

- Now you can turn your Antivirus on, and launch FSX
