GSX Pro compatibility with FSXmap
« on: Today at 09:33:09 pm »
Since I installed GSX Pro in my MSFS 2024, I have been unable to use one of the most useful map utilities I have found. I have been using it literally in every flight on MSFS 2020 and 2024 for years.
The issue is I sign in FSXmap.com using my google ID as usual, run the FSXmapClient.exe file, but when I click on the "Plot My Aircraft" button I keep getting the attached result. It shows my User ID and Connected in green and the yellow "Sign in" button. So I click the "Sign in" button again and it takes me to sign in again, but nothing happens I keep getting the same results.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the FSXmapClient file. I also disabled GSX Pro in the My Library/community section to no avail. I have not tried uninstalling GSX Pro.....Yet.
Is anyone else having the same issue, or maybe someone out there has found a work around?

If it still happens with GSX removed from the Community folder, it clearly indicates it couldn't possibly have anything to do with GSX, it just happen the problem appeared about at the same time you installed GSX, and you thought they were related, but it was just a coincidence.

Thanks for your input. I will try uninstalling GSX pro and see what happens.

I don't think it would change anything. I made an account, downloaded the FSXmapClient.exe, and it worked right away, of course GSX is running.

You are correct sir.
I uninstalled GSX and I still can't use FSXmap. I have no idea what happened. As I said it worked fine before the GSX install. And you are telling me that you tried FSXmap and it is working for you. I just don't have a clue as to what happened. I was hoping it might be the FSXmap site itself, but if you have no issue using it, that counts that out. Do you have any ideas? I am reinstalling GSX now.

I'm quite sure it was just a coincidence, but I can't see how the two are related. Note that, even if program is advertised to be for MSFS 2020, I used it in MSFS 2024, and worked just fine.

Yes that is true. As I said before, I have been using it for years with no issues on both MSFS 20 and 24.
I am at a loss as to could have happened.
I found an older version of simconnect on my system. I have just now uninstalled it and waiting for gsx to install again.
