North-East Canada CTDs

MatthiasKU,

 It's funny that you are mentioning this situation... I noticed it several days ago after Win 10 did an update to my machine.... I tried flying 2 flights from KIAD to EGLL using a PDMG 747... My sim doesn't crash, it just hangs there with a spinning icon. No CTD/OOM/VAS, just spinning. VAS monitoring in FSUIPC showing more the then 2 gig VAS left, so that's not the issue. It appears to happen in roughly the same location as you stated...

MatthiasKNU:
Just another idea:

--- End quote ---

So... While GSX is not installed, the query of the nearby airports etc. is not being made?
Is it worth a try to remove GSX but let the addon manager and the airports active?

Tino:
I have been experiencing this issue.. I tried the idea from another user on this forum: Restart Couatl after pushback. This will reset GSX etc. I've never experienced a CTD over the atlantic after that. So it IS something to do with GSX...

streichholz:
Ah thanks Tino, this is good to know. Maybe I don't have to kill couatl anymore, everytime I fly westbound to the states.

As already explained in this thread, yes, it's likely something related to GSX, but that doesn't mean GSX is the cause. What's crashing is the sim itself, not GSX or Couatl, and this likely means there's a problem somewhere in the airport or navaids database (which GSX reads), which makes the sim crashing by itself when SOME addon enquires about it, using a special interface which is related to the default GPS.

Since this crash seems to affect P3D4 users only, and this interface has been changed quite a bit in P3D4, because it switched from ANSI to Unicode to encode strings representing airports/navaids/fixes names, I think something like a faulty/strange/corrupted facility name in the navigation database might cause the sim crashing when something is enquiring about it.

That's the most logical explanation I can find, not being able to reproduce it yet. Some of you seems to use 3rd party navdata upgrades. Is there anyone affected that uses the default navigation database ?
