FA/18 CTD with SEQ button

<< < (3/6) > >>

Wolf_Rider:
You da man!

I was running my Page File as Custom Size and your advice has given SEQ functionality, setting the PF back to System Managed.
I was running Vista 4 x disc RAID with a small (512MB) PF on the system and a larger (2048) PF on a seperate IDE disc

I had a similar problem, although when I originally installed Acceleration the F18 worked just as you described using the WP and SEQ keys for several weeks.

Until last weekend.  I was starting a flight and went to the left MFD to set ACL for the autopilot page and got a CTD with the error pointing to the MSVCR80.dll module.  I tried repeatedly after rebooting the system with the same result.  All the other keys of the left MFD were fine and operated as you described.  Then I tried the right MFD - pushed WP with no problem but when I touched SEQ CTD with MSVCR80.dll as the offending module again.

Scouring the forums and trying unsuccessfully different suggestions for most of the weekend I ran across someone noticing that if the 'light bloom' option on the graphics setting was activiated it would magically allow the SEQ button to operate properly.  Normally I don't have that option running so I tried it, and it worked!  Even better, when I reverted to disabling 'light bloom' it continues to work.  So another odd piece to the puzzle!

This is starting to get discouraging, what a confusing hobby I've picked (20 years ago)!  When it works I couldn't be happier, when it doesn't well its a frustrating pile of monkey dung.

Oh, excellent cockpit by the way!! ;D

Guess i'll join in too and share my experiences with the fa18 hornet. Tonight I downloaded the Zurich trial scenery with the latest runtime files and then started fsx just to see what would happen. At first attempt I loaded a flight plan and then took the plane to the runway..wpt..seq and the thing worked for the first time in several days. Just out of curiousity, I then went to the multiplayer screen and did the same thing and the program crashed to the desktop like it always does. Wish I knew how to fix this problem because the fa18 is a nice piece of work ,and i suspect you couldn't get any better unless you had pay ware.

virtuali:
Right now, the only fix that seems to work for many users, is to use the default Windows swap file management. Meaning, you should let Windows manage the swap file automatically, instead that specifically setting a minimum/maximum size.

Zurich shouldn't be affect the f/a-18, except for the fact its installer will update C++ runtimes to their latest version.

Alan:
Well that doesn't seem to work for me either. The swap file settings have never been changed on this machine. I did find that the WP and Seq keys have never worked in multiplayer for me. They sometimes work after filing a flight plan in free flight but only after i'm in the cockpit and on the runway. Thinking about uninstalling it and doing a reinstallation to see if that helps.Hopefully someone at fsdreamteam can come up with a solution for this. I realize this is the fa18 board but was wondering if a manual would be available for the other air craft in the Acceleration pack as well.
