I wonder about deleting the couatl folder, uninstall GSX, reinstall GSX, run Live Updater? I have the demo versions of IAH and JFK, haven’t tried it there. It used to work at SFO, as I tested when I first got it, but now it doesn’t seem to work. I’ll try that when I get back to my computer and will report back when I do.

November 25, 20178 yr John, Actually, I wouldn't delete the Couatl folder, I would uninstall GSX and KSFO, and if it asks if you want to uninstall Addon Manager or Couatl, select yes, then reinstall KSFO, then GSX, then make sure to run Live Updater from the shortcut that is placed on your desktop during the reinstall. This should clear out any possible issues with Couatl. i7-6700k • Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD5 • 32GB DDR4 2666 • EVGA FTW ULTRA RTX3080 12GB

This should clear out any possible issues with Couatl. I’ve reinstalled Couatl, the addon manager, and GSX already, with no change. I can try it at EWR or BNA and see if it works there. I’ll report back when I’ve tested it. If it works then they KSFO will be reinstalled. If not, then what should I do?
November 25, 20178 yr I suspect reinstalling KSFO will solve your problem...once again, if it asks to uninstall Addon Manager, select yes, then reinstall KSFO and run Live Updater from the desktop shortcut. I assume when you got the update notice when your sim was running you selected yes to install the update. I did that once and it caused all kinds of problems for me...since then, I've seen a post by Umberto of FSDT that the in-sim updater doesn't work, that one should only use the Live Updater when the sim isn't running. I just got one of those in-sim notices the other day, but I selected NO and when I finished my flight, I shut everything down and then ran Live Update, and so far, no problems. I just tried KSFO, Gate A3 with PMDG 747. I docked the jetways, boarded passengers, requested GSX pushback, once I got the all clear I started engines during pushback, waited for gear unpin etc. and after all clear, taxied out...all with no error. i7-6700k • Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD5 • 32GB DDR4 2666 • EVGA FTW ULTRA RTX3080 12GB
November 25, 20178 yr Author Commercial Member Confirmed that it works at BNA in the 737, but not SFO in the 747 or 777. I’ll try reinstalling SFO and see if that solves it.
November 25, 20178 yr Author Commercial Member My question is that if it doesn’t work, why is it still in the program?

I thought the same thing when I saw that post...but I've had some long-drawn-out arguments with Umberto on FSDT forums, so I just didn't feel like fighting another battle with him. I'll be very frank...Umberto does some pretty good airports, but considering his attitude towards customers, and the fact Couatl is such a HORRIBLE program, if another, decent developer ever offers the same airports, I'll replace FSDT sceneries. i7-6700k • Gigabyte GA-Z170X-UD5 • 32GB DDR4 2666 • EVGA FTW ULTRA RTX3080 12GB
November 25, 20178 yr Author Commercial Member Just reinstalled SFO, the problem appears to still be present. Any other ideas?

November 25, 20178 yr Well, first you need to get your sim running( hopefully you saved your FlightBeam download), then go to the add-ons menu, DEACTIVATE KSFO from the FSDT add-on manager, uninstall KSFO using the program features in Winsdows, then install it with FlightBeam's installer. See if that fixes it. If you already did that, my apologies. Ryzen 9 7900X, AsRock Taichi B650e, MSI RTX 4070 Ti Super, 32GB G Skill Flare, 850W PSU, 4TB WD 850 SSD, Win 11 Pro, 27" 1440p MSI monitor
November 25, 20178 yr Author Commercial Member Yeah the issue still is present. I’m at a loss as to what to do now.
