GSX vehicles suddenly spawning above my aircraft
« on: October 10, 2016, 12:44:31 am »
Hi guys,

Had GSX for a while now and never experienced any issues with it until now.  I should know by now that if it ain't broke don't fix it!  Anyway I decided to apply the vehicles update from the main page of the website here - https://www.fsdreamteam.com/products_gsx.html

I didn't really know if I needed this or not considering it wasn't long ago I had a prompt to update the addon manager, not sure if the latest vehicles is shipped with that installer.  Anyway I went ahead and downloaded the vehicles update.  I fired up FSX and when I select the catering service from the menu I could hear the vehicles but couldn't see them.  When I looked outside I saw this...

GSX is still functional like this, so its prompting me to open the doors as you can see.  I've downloaded the addon manager again since and rerun the install but this hasn't corrected the issue.  Like I say, GSX has been absolutely flawless for me since day 1 so what could have gone wrong?

EDIT: I found the error log file in the troubleshooting section and its reporting the following, looks like its suspiciously related to me.

Fixed it by downloading and running the full installer again rather than just the add on manager.

Case closed....phew.

Yes, that's to be expected: what probably happened, is that you missed the release notes for the June 1st, that indicated the full installer installation was mandatory:

IMPORTANT: this update requires to download and install the latest GSX FULL INSTALLER!!

If your latest full installation was older, subsequent updates would surely cause problems, because they all assume you installed the June 1st full installer.
