Two problems with GSX

[Wildhawk]

Hi virtuali,

I was hoping you could give me advice on how to solve the following two problems:

1. De-icing
I ran the full installer of GSX (ver 1.9.0.2),  and everything works fine,  except that I never get the option for the de-icing.
- I don't use any weather programs at all (ASN, Opus, etc)...have never installed such programs on my PC
- I go to FSX weather settings,  enter a temperature manually,  ensuring it is under 4 deg Celsius
- There is only one temperature layer,  and the temperature is then displaying correctly on the aircraft panel

2. Aerosoft Airbus A319 compatibility
I use the latest Aerosoft A319 (CFM version),  which should be covered by GSX ver 1.9 when looking at the compatibility list,  but it is not working properly.  When I request catering,  it will only start if I open the cargo hold. It asks for "exit 1", "exit 2" etc,  which I learned means it is not using the build in values.
- I went into the aircraft configurator and reset everything (have not done any customization anyway)
- There are no "gsx.cfg" files in the aircraft's main folder under Simobjects/Airplanes
- definitely no files under the Roaming/Virtuali/GSX folder,  in fact I do not even have an Airplanes subfolder here at all.

Is there anything I perhaps overlooked?

That's an old version ( current one is 1.9.0.6 ), but it should work just the same. Is the airplane you are using too small, with a wingspan of LESS than 22 meters ? If yes, you can't have deicing with it, for the time being.

When I request catering,  it will only start if I open the cargo hold. It asks for "exit 1", "exit 2" etc,  which I learned means it is not using the build in values.

This means the airplane hasn't been recognized. Do you use a new airplane variant ? What's the precise name of the airplane folder ?

[Wildhawk]

Thank you for the quick response...

No,  the aircraft I have tested so far are the PMDG NGX and Aerosoft A319. So it should work,  no?
I can try ver 1.9.0.6 but since 1.9.0.2 should also work,  as you say,  but I wonder if whatever is preventing the de-icing from appearing,  will not do the same with the newer version as well.

Is there anything else I can double check with regards to this issue?


To be specific I use Aerosoft's Airbus A319 version 1.2 which was released recently (I think last month sometime?),  the name of the aircraft folder is "Aerosoft Airbus A319 CFM"
(Does this corresponds with the name that GSX looks for?)

Yes, all of them will work.

I don't think that's the issue, however it's always best to be sure you have the very latest version. Try to trash ALL your GSX preferences, by removing this folder:

%APPDATA%\Virtuali

Then reinstall, and use only the current version of the installer.

To be specific I use Aerosoft's Airbus A319 version 1.2 which was released recently (I think last month sometime?),  the name of the aircraft folder is "Aerosoft Airbus A319 CFM"

That's exactly the folder name GSX expects. I'm sorry, but the only possible explanation the airplane is not recognized, is that you still have a GSX.CFG you made (or downloaded), either in the %APPDATA%\Virtuali folder OR in the airplane root folder, alongside the aircraft.cfg

You can verify this by enabling Logging in the "Troubleshooting" section of the "GSX - Settings" page. Select the airplane, then exit from FSX and check the Couatl.LOG file, it will tell you from which source the airplane configuration comes from.

I have now done the following:

I installed GSX version 1.9.0.6
I also deleted the complete "Virtuali" folder under Roaming
I also checked the couatl log file,  and sure enough it matches the aircraft's folder name exactly

Yet both of my problems persist

I definitely have never created or downloaded any custom files for any aircraft on my system,  I am 100% sure of that.

Interestingly,  under the Airbus' folder (where the aircraft.cfg is),  there is also a file called intelliscene.cfg...this file gets installed as part of the installation,  it is part of the product itself.  I removed the file to experiment,  what happens then is that all the vehicles (catering and baggage loaders) then stop in completely wrong positions,  but do not request an exit to be opened.

In any case,  what more can I do? I desperately want this to work.

It seems that GSX is reading from the intelliscene.cfg, which is not normal, since the GSX internal database has an higher priority.

As I've said in my previous message: You can verify this by enabling Logging in the "Troubleshooting" section of the "GSX - Settings" page. Select the airplane, then exit from FSX and check the Couatl.LOG file, it will tell you from which source the airplane configuration comes from.

The couatl.log file indicates that it is reading from intelliscene.cfg

Do you reckon this file should not be there?

But as mentioned,  when I remove this file,  things are even worse.  So what do I do now? Should I consider using custom files as shared by another member?

With regards to the de-icing problem,  will it definitely give you the option everytime,  anywhere,  as long as the aircraft has a wingspan greater than 22m and the ambient temp is less than 4 deg C? Or are there more conditions that need to be satisfied?

The couatl.log file indicates that it is reading from intelliscene.cfg

I would like to see the Log file.

Do you reckon this file should not be there?

It should be there, and it won't cause this problem because, as I've said, the GSX internal database has an higher priority. The intelliscene.cfg file is read ONLY when the airplane is not found in the GSX internal database.

But as mentioned,  when I remove this file,  things are even worse.

That's normal, because if there's no intelliscene.cfg, GSX will revert to the aircraft.cfg, which is even less precise.

So what do I do now?

Post your Couatl.LOG file.

With regards to the de-icing problem,  will it definitely give you the option everytime,  anywhere,  as long as the aircraft has a wingspan greater than 22m and the ambient temp is less than 4 deg C? Or are there more conditions that need to be satisfied?

Sure. I take for granted that you know how to use it: during Pushback. It's not supposed to be a separate menu option.

[Wildhawk]

I am posting the entire log file here,   hope it is alright like this...

Also,  touching on the de-icing problem,   what else can I do to try and solve it?  I make sure the temperature is less than 4 deg C,  but when selecting "prepare for pushback and departure",  I never get asked to de-ice.  This happens with both the A319 and the PMDG NGX.

Also,  touching on the de-icing problem,   what else can I do to try and solve it?  I make sure the temperature is less than 4 deg C,  but when selecting "prepare for pushback and departure",  I never get asked to de-ice.  This happens with both the A319 and the PMDG NGX.

I can only confirm it works.

Live Update Error: Couldn't resolve host name

This error message is a bit suspicious, and together with this one:

couatl v2.0 (build 2360)

Which indicates you are several versions behind ( current version of the Couatl.exe program is 2378 ), seems to indicate you must have some kind of connection problem when accessing our server, that might explain why you are not getting the latest files, which might explain the issue.

It's not normally possible to run an installer and not getting the latest files, since all installers automatically downloads the current files, so I think you must have seen some kind of connection error message from the installer.

Be sure you turn off ALL software like firewalls, anti-virus, anti-spyware, etc, when installing, so nothing gets blocked.

Or, if you can't do that, downloading and installing the *CURRENT* version of the full GSX installer should also work, because that one contains the latest files, so if some software is blocking online access to the latest files, they are contained in the full installer anyway.

Thanks Umberto,  I appreciate it that you are trying to assist.

Yes,  my internet connection is not at its best quality at the moment,  and my FSX pc is not connected at the moment.

What I will try to do,  is to get a decent connection to the machine and see if I can't properly update everything once and for all - I am sure it is something small causing the problems.
