No buildings visibles sometimes after scenery installation

[virtuali]

The Coutl Menu is not visible on Modules.

The Couatl Powered plugins menu is not supposed to be under the Modules menu, but under the Addons menu, together with the Addon Manager menu. You should see both menu items.

Have you got a request to trust the Couatl module the first time you started FSX after installing LSGG ? If yes, have you replied "Yes" to both questions, the question posed by Windows, and the question by FSX ?

Can you check your EXE.XML file, located at %APPDATA%\Microsoft\FSX if the line launching Couatl has been added ? If it hasn't, please post the content of that file here, perhaps it was corrupted already, so the installer hasn't touched it.

If you see the line in the EXE.XML, perhaps you have not trusted the module so, you can reset the trust request (so the question can be made again), by editing your FSX.CFG located at %APPDATA%\Microsoft\FSX, going under the [Trusted] section, find if there are any lines containing Couatl.exe and remove ALL lines (the WHOLE line) that contains a reference to Couatl.exe. Save the file, launch FSX and notice if it asks you about trusting the module. Reply "Yes" to both questions.

Thks.
Also:
- Yes I trusted Couatl twice after installing
- Yes the file exe.xml is located in FSX directory and the line lauching Couatl is present
- I have deleted the line with Couatl in fsx.cfg and saved it
- Yes I trusted again the module

And ?

No buildings in LSGG and in LSZH

I am disapointed

Don't worry, we'll surely fixed your specific problem, it's just that I need to proceed in the correct steps, to identify the problem.

Are you using AES for FSX ? Could it be that you removed any of the .PYE files, in order to disable ParkMe and get AES instead ? This was suggested on Aerosoft forum, but unfortunately, it's not the correct solution, because if that file gets removed manually in that way, it would stop the scripting engine entirely, so no scenery would work.

Hi
NO i don't have AES installed

Try this:

Open the Notepad and type the following on a new blank file:

logFile=couatl.log


Save the file as couatl.ini in the FSX\fsdreamteam\couatl folder, so it stays at the same level of the couatl.exe

Run FSX, go to LSGG, then quit FSX after the airport has been loaded. Check if you have a couatl.log file in the FSX\fsdreamteam\couatl folder and post its content here.

[sigou]

Done. I don't find any couatl1.log file in the directory

[virtuali]

Done. I don't find any couatl1.log file in the directory

Of course you don't find any couatl1.log file, the file you should look for is couatl.log, provided of course you wrote this in the ini file.

However, a part for the wrong filename, which should be easy to check, if you don't see any Couatl.log file, it means the program hasn't even started.

Can you please post the content of your EXE.XML ? Because, the line might be there, but if there's a syntax error in that file, it doesn't get executed so, all programs that should started by it, will not run.

Ok, there's nothing wrong with it.

Can you open Task Manager, and check that, after you launch FSX, the Couatl.exe is being launched as well ?

Also, can you please check your bglmanx.dll version ? Go to that file in FSX root, right-click, select "Properties", select "Details"

[sigou]

Yes couatl.exe is launched.  We can see in the log file that is problem with to connection to .dll


couatl v1.0 (build 250)

connected to FSX
bglmanx non ready yet, waiting.
error connecting to bglmanx (5): Accès refusé

[virtuali]

Yes couatl.exe is launched.  We can see in the log file that is problem with to connection to .dll

That's why I've asked you to check for the bglmanx.dll version, they might not communicate because of this.

Sorry, I haven't asked you to verify if the file has a digital signature, I have asked you to check for its version. Right Click on it, select Properties, select Details.

[sigou]

Sorry

Do you want this ?
And my antivirus announce a problem with couatl.exe

[virtuali]

Do you want this ?

Ok, the version is correct.

And my antivirus announce a problem with couatl.exe

Try to reinstall LSGG with the Antivirus turned off. Then, after the scenery is installed, configure the antivirus to ignore the FSX folder, or at least ignore Couatl.exe and bglmanx.dll
