FA/18 CTD with SEQ button

Hello, I'm unsure if I'll get any support for this issue here, but I thought that I would try....first of all, great job on the FA/18 - really fantastic....however, some issues have arisen with CTD's specifically while using functions on the F/A-18 Panel...these are easily replicated and constant within my sysconfig - and others are reporting them as well....first, while using the direct to function on the gps while in the F/A-18, after selecting a destination and hitting the enter key it would result in a CTD everytime...i've fixed this error by uninstalling FSX Accel. and repairing the original FSX install, then copying the two gps cabs from the gauges folder and reinstalling Accel and overwriting the new ones.  This has fixed the gps direct to issue....Secondly, now when flying a flight plan or direct to plan - after hitting the seq key on the panel to fly the route, a CTD occurs everytime...again these are constant and easily replicated...

This forum documents others having this issue http://www.flightsimworld.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=130066

I believe that there is also a thread over at Avsim about it...while I realize that you probably don't offer support for Microsoft products, I was hoping you may have some insight or advice for us?

Thanks very much for your work and help

The only thing that I can say, it's that I never been able to replicate this problem. Yes, I have seen some users reporting it, and now that I read you messsage, maybe I have some ideas.

The F/A-18 navigation is not supposed to be used together with the default FSX GPS, I never tested it in such environment. The F/A-18 gauge calls into the FSX gps.dll directly, as the FSX gps gauges do. I don't know what might happen if you use both at the same time, because this is not how one is supposed to use it. The usual workflow is to use only the FSX Flight Planner, and then interact with the flight plan with the regular F/A-18 avionics only, without using the gps gauge at all. I'd even get rid of it in the panel.cfg, just to be sure...

Liftow:
Thanks for the response virtuali...that would make sense and now I can stop pulling my hair out trying to figure out what was wrong...I'll pass on the information to others and perhaps we can find a way to get the two working in unison....

Cheers!

I have the same problem here.

When I dicovered the forum, I decided to follow the Flight Planning Tutorial.
Flight plan done, load flight and then SEQ key pressed... CTD!!!!
The only way to make things happen is to load a free flight, then, through the menu, I load the flight plan saved before. Back to the VC, now I can press SEQ key...

If I save a flight while flying, if I press the SEQ key after I load it back, CTD again!!!

Ratcatcher:
I too have this problem. For me it seems like every other launch of the game gets a ctd. When I go back in the seq works and it doesn't matter how often I click on it while on a mission.
