Below is my FSX.cfg. If any changes need to be made, feel free to make as needed.

Your FSX.CFG is probably one of the most corrupted .CFG files I ever saw.

The reason for nothing working, was because there were lots of line which were supposed to be in the [Main] section, ended up duplicated many times in the [Bufferpools] section. You must have edited it by hand, since the [Bufferpools] section doesn't exists, by default.

Here's the corrected file, fixed as best as I could.

Everything worked great! Thank you very much for the cfg correction. I do have the remaining issue of the cargo containers not matching the airline. I made sure to try and update the software again. Below is the cfg for the 777-300er.  I'm not sure what else to do for the cargo containers that this update addressed.

In FSX, this has been already discussed and answered here:

Hi,

I downloaded the latest update ala live update for the Aug 6 update and and so far everything is great (P3D V3.4)
What I'd like to know about these "updates" ; is the only way to access updates is thru the live update process or
is there an exe file of the update(s) that I could download and install offline? I thought that that download the GSX.exe
from here http://www.fsdreamteam.com/products_gsx_level2.html would contain or include the latest updates.
I imagine it might as the installer is programmed to push the updates as well. But that way, I have to get the cow in order
to get the milk -  ;)

Now I'm inclined to believe that if I did what I mentioned above ^ it would install the basic and then push any and all updates.
 I am accustomed to software updates with version numbers to them i.e.,  XXXV1.2 etc.  

If I had to restore GSX/GSX2 for whatever reason, I could just install latest file and any archived updates off line. It would take less time that way.

Edit I guess this latest was considered a bug fix and as such, was relegated to Live update in lieu of installer program:
Based on logic of your last here : http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=21137.0

The current installer already contains all the updates until August 6th, but it doesn't contain the small fixes we published in the last 2 days. It would be a bit too much to repackage the installer each time we have even small fixes, that would defeat the purpose of having a "Live" update to begin with.
