Couatl not loading FSX
« on: August 14, 2019, 04:57:59 pm »
Hi, after updating my GSX (level 1+2), I loaded up FSX and as it loaded, it asked me if I wanted to run different couatl DLL files and I said run and to always run these files. Once I got into the sim, GSX had not loaded and when I went into my addons operating on the top bar, neither couatl or GSX was there. I clicked on the addon manager and went down to GSX to re-enter in my log in details but a message came up telling me that I had to configure an antivirus then run the live update so I did, it didn't work so I reinstalled GSX with my firewall off (the only sort of antivirus I have) and still didn't work. I was wondering if any of you know anything about this issue as it is bugging be not being able to use the addon. Thank you! :)

Do you mean you saw the request from FSX to trust newly installed executables ? If yes, you were supposed to see TWO requests:

- One for the Couatl Scripting engine, which is an .EXE file

- One for the Adddon Manager, which is a .DLL

Have you seen both ? Have you trusted both of them ?

Hi Umberto, yes I trusted both of them and let them both run.

It seems you are missing the default windows hosts file (not normal, every standard windows install has one ). The easiest fix is to create an empty one yourself.

It's a file just named "hosts" with no file extension, located in C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc
