GSX Window Won't Stay Open

[NCHawk]

Hi, I've been using GSX for a while now. I have flown a multitude of flights with my PMDG B777-200LR without any issues but recently I started flying a new aircraft, the Black Square Starship and have encountered a couple of issues. One of the issues is not directly related to GSX but I will include an explanation of it for understanding the problem as a whole. When I try to open GSX the window appears and disappears like a flash. I see it just for a second. Didn't know if something had gotten messed up so I went back and tried using it again with the PMDG 777 and everything worked fine. When I researched this issue I found older comments about this and the use of the hotkeys and how to open and close GSX properly, but that has never been an issue for me since I started using GSX, only now with the Starship. As additional information be aware I use Chaseplane from Parallel42 for custom views. This application also works dandy with my other aircraft but has also exhibited weird symptoms while flying the Starship such as skewing the internal cockpit views that I had preconfigured. Now, these symptoms tend to lean toward the Starship exhibiting some sort of display issue, but can these symptoms provide any hints as a developer of GSX as to the source of the problem. What could cause the GSX window to close whereas when flying other aircraft it doesn't? I have inquired about this with all parties, Parallel42, Justflight (Black Square) and you so far. I have not encountered such problems in any of my other aircraft. So, even though you can't help with the issues encountered with the aircraft itself is there anything you can relate too or advise on what is happening? Is there anything you might be aware of that I can try as far as getting GSX to work properly with the Starship?

Regards,

The GSX menu disappearing immediately is USUALLY created by having a "real" copy of the GSX packages in the Commmunity folder instead of a Symbolic link, which is how GSX defaults to when installed with the installer.

This second copy might be created intentionally ( by manually copying it, which is a mistake ) but also unintentionally, and the easiest way to create one unintentionally is to make a backup of the whole Community folder and later a restore, without being aware of how the restore method is handling Symbolic links. The default Windows copy/past folders, for example, WILL create a duplicate real folder when restoring.

GSX should never be disabled like this. Instead, if you want to momentarily disable it, Unlink it from the FSDT Installer, then Relink it. Unlink means selecting "Uninstall" and reply YES to the 1st question ( Unlink ) but NO to the 2nd one ( Uninstall ). This way, you can quickly enable it back without reinstalling it.

If you unintentionally created real folders for the GSX packages in the Community folder, which are folders without a small arrow on then, remove ALL OF THEM (all the ones belonging to GSX), enter the FSDT Installer and click RELINK. This will recreate the links are they are supposed to, fixing the problem.
