Hi

I have installed GSX for p3Dv3 and trusted all exe files with the Anti virus.
But I am unable to open the Control Menu when pressing Ctrl-F12 when in P3D V3.

Nothing appear when I press Ctrl-F12.

Is there anything I missed? I have install the latest version.

Thanks.

Regard

The usual question:

- Do you have BOTH the Addon Manager AND the Couatl and GSX menus under the FSX "Addons" menu ?

Yes all those are in the P3D V3 Menu, thats why it is strange that control menu not opening.

Does it open using the GSX menu, instead of the key ?

No, it wont open even if I click from GSX menu.

- Restart Windows

- Force a cache rebuild, by removing the following folder:

C:\ProgramData\Virtuali\Couatl

- Start the sim and WAIT for the cache to be regenerated.

There is no cache regeneration, and the folder Couatl is not being recreated when i check the folder Virtuali.

That's because it's already registered.

But the menu is " GSX - Trial mode menu". and 3 trial airports listed there. Please help Thanks.

If the Addon Manager says it's Active, then it's Active so, it's possible you are mistakenly running P3D or another addon that starts with or launches P3D itself, in "Compatibility mode", like XP mode under Windows 7 or similar.

Check you don't run P3D  into a “Compatibility” mode, like XP or Vista or Windows 7, under Windows 8. Turn off any compatibility modes for the Prepar3D.EXE, which is how it's installed by default.

Then you might have another addon that starts with it that runs in Compatibility mode. Also, are you sure it's GSX that is listed as "Active" in the Addon Manager, and not other product ?
