GSX reinstall in P3D v2.1

[mroschk]

Hello,

i had installed P3Dv1.4 with GSX working well.

Then there Comes P3Dv2.1 and i installed it and also GSX in P3D v2.1.
All works well.

Now i want to clean my System and deinstalled P3Dv1.4 and also GSX full deinstalled.

Then i want to reinstall GSX for P3D v2.1.
The installer says .. all ok, no Errors.

But in P3D v2.1 i did not get the Menu entry for the coutl Addon Manager.

I installed the today downloaded gsx_fsx_setup.exe.
I did not found a extra Setup for P3D v2.1 here.

Whats wrong or what can i do?

This is the exe.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">
  <Descr>Launch</Descr>
  <Filename>exe.xml</Filename>
  <Disabled>False</Disabled>
  <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>Couatl</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
    <Path>fsdreamteam\couatl\couatl.exe</Path>
    <CommandLine>--mode=prepar3dv2</CommandLine>
  </Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>

and this the dll.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">
  <Descr>Launch</Descr>
  <Filename>dll.xml</Filename>
  <Disabled>False</Disabled>
  <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>Addon Manager</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
    <Path>bglmanx.dll</Path>
  </Launch.Addon>
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>FSUIPC 4</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <Path>Modules\FSUIPC4.dll</Path>
  </Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>

seams ok or not?

Thx
Matthias

Already discussed here, maybe your problem is a P3D installation that hasn't completed correctly:

\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2\redist\Interface\FSX-SP1\retail\lib
\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2\redist\Interface\FSX-SP2-XPACK\retail\lib

did the trick also for me.

I just wonder why there is no error message when or after installing GSX.

I just wonder why there is no error message when or after installing GSX.

First, because the GSX installer doesn't try to do any diagnostic on Simconnect, there's no way to be sure it works, unless you try starting something that requires it, WITH the sim running too, so it's not feasible in the installer, which requires the sim NOT running.

And, after the installation, when the sim start, if there's a problem with Simconnect side-by-side, the modules cannot even start so, they have no chance to issue any warnings.

hmm...ok, thats to understand
