Correct. Absolutely hold off updating the FSDT airports as the updater works through all of your installed products.

There is a workaround, but with all the assets that GSX uses in various folders, it would quickly get messy.

Fair enough.  There are plenty of other places to fly!

If that's the case I will hold off on installing them until the GSX issues are fixed.

hold off.  its will screw up your sim.  plenty of posts on his forumn. about it.

I haven't installed it myself, but I'm seeing a lot of complaints - FSDT says it's because users are stupid (my polite and short interpretation). Looks like Umberto in his normal stage of arrogance/denial,

A have a few questions through. 

1) Does it finally work without crashing sim/scenarios?

2) Did they destroy FSLabs config or not?

3) Do I have to fully uninstall and then reinstall with Live Update applied afterward.

4) Is it worth to update for P3D at all?

Thanks

 

 

1) Always did work, still works. No crashes. Still some funny weird writing. Nothing else that I have seen. Still get the odd confusion 

when GSX gets muddled as to what it is doing and you have to reset. Otherwise no extra problems.

2) No idea, don't have it.

3)No.

4) Yes

I like the extra vocalising of the text messages.

Short answers.

I have declined prompts to update and I’m glad I have. I’ve never known the program to be as messed up as it currently is. Maybe trying to adapt it for MSFS has caused it.

I find it odd an earlier version cannot be used. But with no update.exe relying on a web update is always risky.

It works just fine over here. There was a rough patch a week or two ago but my last flight went off without issues.

Cheers!

Luke, I have no idea what the latest update changes but given I have a version that’s fine bar some FSDT airports I’m not prepared to risk updating.

Only when I see a statement from Umberto advising all issues are fixed plus multiple customer confirmations will I update.

I keep a backup copy of the entire Addon Manager folder, and I turn off automatic updates in the Couatl dropdown, as there have been a number of live updates that have boogered things up through the years.  I now generally wait a week or two after an update releases and then check the FSDT and AVSIM forums before manually doing the live update.  If it does still go bad, I can always restore the Addon Manager folder from the backup and get back to what worked. 

I haven't done a live update since the MSFS version was released.  Waiting for the smoke to clear.

good idea.  because the p3d version is having issues no matter what the p3d fantantics say.

be very wary of when people say its fixed on both p3d and ms2020.  Its is not.

people floating in the air is not fixed. constant coult errors and aircraft being throw all over the place is not fixed. no matter what the ms2020 fanatics say. It is an unfinished pay to beta product on ms2020, and its effected the p3d version because of coult. It was working fine until it ruihed out on the ms2020 version

people in this community have a very skewed version of a finished product is and what "fixed" is

Have you tried today?

I just did a quick test and none of the previously mentioned problems are evident. I couldn't obviously tell if Couatl stopped working as it was only a quick look. So far so good.

i just updated, verified correct version, tried to push back in aerosoft zurich using the catanya ini file.  No dice

I tried using the Inibuilds ini file for Zurich and it works.  

tried in Vancouver (where there is no custom INI file, and it works

Some people are noting on the forumn the UK2000 ini files dont work.  

my guess is there is an issue regarding ini files.

Tried that as well. No menu even shows. (Also Cartayna). Going to remove all these so-called improvements.

they used to work, all of them. the issue is coutl not Mr Cartayna's files.

Let me jog your memory again about the bgl CTD in certain areas in  Nova Scotia, Scandinavia and Central Russia  caused by coutl that people on this forumn pinned down to coutl and it took 2 years for Umberto to admit his software was at fault namely coutl. 

Until he finally admitted defeat and made coutl.exe not read BGLs from a certain height when flying, the issue was rectified. It was only after 2 years of a group of us on telling him it was the combination of coutl and bad BGLS (which LM did nothing to help with) that finally got him to change coutl.  That 2 year episode taught us many things, 1. how hell bent on coutl umberto is and how much of a pain in the bum it is.   2.  How LM where not to invest any time in a issue relating to "simmers".  They let us do the hard work of pinning down the issue.

Look, I see why he uses coutl its to stop people pirating it, hes admitted that,  and Ill admit ive had hours and hours and hours of enjoyment out of GSX,  but this coutl is the root of all evils here, thats what causing the issues in P3D and MS2020, as its riddled with bugs and issues, always has been.

I don't need my memory jogging, thank you.

Your words 

"my guess is there is an issue regarding ini files.".

Now you say it is Couatl and always has been. Wow.

 

 

 

The ini files (from various developers uk2k, cataylna etc) worked perfectly fine before he updated coutl, which is the engine running his software, they worked fine with no issues whatsoever. 

This was Until he released the ms2020 version and thus using coutl for sims, which in turn reads the ini files and the bgl data. The ini files and coult go hand in hand. 

You could make a spreadsheet of the ini files with issues for example. It will make no difference, until coult is fixed. 

A very very simple concept to understand.
