Couatl Crashing when LAX loading in P3D **SOLVED**
« on: September 17, 2017, 02:40:05 am »
All,
I've spent hours looking and can't figure out what to do. All my FSDT sceneries have stopped working. I'm posting on the LAX thread because this is where the problems started. When I load into LAX I get no textures or buildings but the jet ways plus a popup window in P3D v3 saying "The Couatl scripting engine has encountered an unrecoverable error and will be restarted. Please download and install the latest stand-alone addon manager". The problem is I have updated my addon manager from the link but continue to get the message. When i click to see the error log i got this


couatl v3.2 (build 3829)
panic log started on Sat Sep 16 17:31:36 2017

problem raised by engine or unspecified addon
{'Airport': 'KLAX', 'User Pos': (33.939763598826026, -118.3808206123727, 40.2155 m, 1.81149 m, 262.97983142649593)}
Slew mode False
Entering KLAX area...
Patching for disabling Bloom in P3D V2/V3 in file model.KLAX_sett01_sf/KLAX_sett01_sf.mdl 3

Patching for disabling Bloom in P3D V2/V3 in file model.KLAX_sett01_sfOV/KLAX_sett01_sfOV.mdl 3

I've uninstalled everything more than once using the dedicated uninstallers and the control panel. In addition I have restarted my PC multiple times and continue to get the error message. For some reason its only the FSDT sceneries. GSX continues to function at other airports and my Flightbeam Couatl airports Like SFOHD continue to work without errors or other problems including Couatl. The problem is not Couatl not starting. When i open P#D (as an administrator) i see it open in the task manager automatically like it should. If anyone knows how to fix this problem please let me know. I appreciate all the help I can get.

I've found a fix...

You must have or add
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>Addon Manager</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
    <Path>bglmanx.dll</Path>
  </Launch.Addon>
int the dll.xml file located at
C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3

If you have the latest version P3D V3, you should NOT add the Addon Manager to the DLL.XML file under %PROGRAMDATA% or %APPDATA%, because the file is already launched by the add-on.xml file in the Documents folder.

If, instead, you have an earlier version of P3D V3, which still use the DLL.XML file, the installer would add that line automatically, so there shouldn't be any need to add it manually.
