Title: P3DV4.1 Crash **SOLVED - caused by AI**
Post by: jackieman27 on November 23, 2017, 03:08:45 am
Hi all,
Taking advantage of the Black Friday deal, I purchased KCLT. Its a great scenery. I installed the scenery, and then ran the Live Update tool which I believe updated the addon manager and GSX to the latest version, along with a few of my other FSDT airports.
Unfortunately, after about 1 or 2 minutes of flying even in the vicinity of the airport (no matter what aircraft), my sim crashes. This doesn't occur at any other FSDT/Addon Manager airport, let alone any airport in P3D.
Initially, I got this error:

Problem signature:

But after digging in the forums, I found the solution: to edit the registry and delete a certain entry; which I did. When I next started P3D, an FsLabs popup informed me that this entry was missing, so it automatically added it back. So, I uninstalled the FsLabs A320 and delete the registry entry again.

Should be all good right? I thought so! Well I ran the sim again and taxied around the airport for a while (this is when the crash seems to initiate the fastest) but then I get another CTD. But this time, there was no error message regarding P3D crash. Just went right to my desktop.
But, I did get this Couatl crash error:

Now, my best guess is that the Live Update I ran screwed something up with either GSX or the airport itself which is causing something in my system (Win7 64bit) to not be happy with something recently installed.  I have the latest NVidia drivers & C++ Redistributables.

Thanks for your time!

Which registry key, exactly ?

Just crashed again, but his time I got this message. The frame rate was very bad at some points in this scenario, especially during approach. Then the sim froze for 2 seconds and gave me this

Nothing in your log indicates the problem is the scenery. Have you tried the same approach with a default airplane ?

Yes, i just did. This time the sim crashed when I was in the default Lear in front of a hangar..

I'm sorry, but I cannot reproduce this, and nobody ever reported such instant crash so, it can only be caused by something else you have installed.

If you want, we can arrange a Teamviewer session, so I can check your system directly. PM me to arrange it.

Just got a SODE crash at another airport.. Might be the culprit, investigating now

Fairly sure it couldn't be specific to KCLT. Let me know how it goes.

Hello Umberto -

Just to let you know, I am experiencing the same CTD near KCLT as mentioned above.  It happens when using a default aircraft and also the PMDG 737.   It also happens with default scenery as well as when using Megascenery North Carolina.

Thank you,

Kevin

This further confirm it's not a problem of the airport, like the previous user that had it in another non-FSDT airport too.

Yes I agree with you Umberto.  It is not attributed to an FSDT airport from my experience.   I had another CTD over central PA last night while flying from KIAD to KBUF.    I think LM has to look into this as it just started happening after installation of the latest version, 4.1.  Very frustrating.

Thanks!

Kevin

Hi. I recently purchased KCLT and I get a CTD either on approach or departure from the airport. I've used different aircraft (including FSLabs A320 and Leonardo Maddog X) and approached / departed in different directions, but the same error happens. I don't get crashes at any other airports or in P3D generally, so hoping someone can shed some light. Thank you.

Hi Umberto. Tried with the default F-35A and got the exact same problem. CTD about 5 nautical miles away from KCLT. See below.  The only other thing I can thing of is that it's related to FTX Global openLC North America, as that's the only other thing installed in the area (though I haven't had any problems with it elsewhere). Let me know if you have any other suggestions. Thank you.

CTD about 5 nautical miles away from KCLT.

Can you provide with a bit more accurate location ? The loading range for KCLT is 10 NM so, if the problem was the airport, the should have happened at 10 NM out but, if you can provide with coordinates, I can test it here.

Hi Umberto. I tried to get coordinates by doing another flight into KCLT but I disabled FTX Vector and Orbx North America LC to make sure they weren't the cause, and this time I got the CTD a lot closer to the airport ... on final approach just a couple of nautical miles away from landing. So the CTD doesn't happen at a fixed distance. But one thing I noticed is that I get a lot of microstutters the closer I get to the airport, so I'm thinking it has something to do with that? Almost like an OOM - but of course that shouldn't happen in P3Dv4. Any ideas?
I should also say that I'm able to start a flight from KCLT but in that case the CTD happens during the climb away from the airport. This is proving really hard to pinpoint. Thanks for your help.

There shouldn't be any microstutters and surely not an OOM with KCLT, surely not under P3D4, because we basically load the whole airport at 10NM so, your are supposed to see only a somewhat large pause at 10 NM, then nothing.

Of course, I'm assuming you haven't touched the anti pop-up slider in the Addon Manager, which by default is set at its maximum under P3D4. If it's not, the program will start to create/destroy objects more often (depending how low it is), which could introduce some stuttering, even if the fps might be a bit better, depending on the system.

This seems to further confirm the airport is not the problem. If it was, it should happen always at the same spot, since the airport is static. If the crash appears in different places, it might possibly related to an AI, especially one which was originally made for FS9, which are known to cause CTDs in P3D4.

Testing with 0% Traffic might be useful to verify this.

Yes, the anti pop-up slider is set to default / maximum.

I think you have hit the nail on the head. I managed to complete a flight, landing at KCLT, with traffic set to 0. I then did a bit more research in forums and found that my AI (MyTraffic 6) does have some AI aircraft from FS9 that can cause CTDs. Given that I don't normally get CTDs, they must be aircraft that are common around KCLT. So I deleted those aircraft and was able to complete a second flight with my AI at 10 per cent. Hooray!
Thank you for all your help in getting to the bottom of this problem Umberto. It's much appreciated! And now I can appreciate your wonderful KCLT scenery properly. :)
