GSX is not opening
« on: May 22, 2025, 01:43:59 am »
FSX/Steam, win 10.
My GSX menu is not responding to the default ''Hot key assigned to, CTRL+F12.'' I have to use ''GSX'' in the drop down menu in ''Addon's'' by clicking the By Pass line to open the GSX menu. The Key Mapping shows the correct default hot keys for GSX.

I cannot possibly know what "noon" means for you, but I can assure you it's working here. Your report here:

Means GSX as such is working, and the issue it's just the hotkey: it's likely there's another add-on that might have used the same hotkey, since in FSX add-ons reserve hotkeys by Simconnect, and it's even possible for the "first one" to prevent others from assigning the same key, that's why it can be changed in GSX.

That was very different issue: the list of FSX/P3D products blank in the Installer.

Correct, the issue is accessing the GSX menu with the hot key. I tried CTRL+SHIFT+F12 and CRTL+F12 and neither would open the GSX menu. The key assignments in Addon's, Couatl are correct. Using the Bypass the hot key in GSX will bring up the GSX menu. Would using the Universal installer instead of the Live Update installer make a difference.
The same problem exists with the default FSX airports.

See my previous answer: GSX is working, the problem is the hotkey has been taken by another add-on. Changing the modifier might not be enough, if another add-on is using F12, all combinations with F12 won't work.

The only addons that I have for my FSX is the FSDT products, GSX, GSX2 and CYVR. According to the key mappings for Couatl products GSX and Common are the only F12 hot key assigned to them.
 FSDT GSX addons are the only F12 hot key assignments.
My keyboard does not have a FN key to allow me to assign F hot keys.

You don't assign a different key this way, you do it from the Couatl->KeyMappings menu, and double click on one of the functions you want the hotkey to be changed.

I've got good news and I've got bad news. I was able to open GSX using the hot keys.
I changed the hot key assignment for GSX to SHIFT+CTL+num0. But using that combo on my keyboard did not work. But, if I used just CTL+num0 combo on my keyboard, GSX would open, even though the mapping assignment for GSX stayed at SHIFT+CTL+num0. Only CTL+num0 will work. Now, if I change the mapping assignment to CTL+num0, then I have to use SHIFT+CTL+num0 to open GSX. But, either way, that's okay, it will work fine for me. The problem seems to be in the mapping assignment as long as I use the correct combo on my keyboard.
I just wanted you to know where the mix up was.
