CYVR couatl crash
« on: May 19, 2017, 10:56:05 pm »
Hello everybody,
Yesterday, I have bought FSDT CYVR, immediately installed on my FSX Acceleration simulator and registered.
But, "couatl" crashes as soon as I am loading a fly from CYVR and the airport disappear completely.
I have had error messages given here.
I have an other question: how can I change the parameters chosen at the installation of the produce (High definition to lower by example?)
Can somebody help me?
In advance thank you!
Daniel

It's possible your FSX.CFG has been corrupted. The most common reason for this, is that you (by hand-editing) or another defective addon, has corrupted the FSX.CFG file, removing a default section that must be there, in order for the sim to find the scenery objects and many other library objects used by default scenery.

Check your %APPDATA%\Microsoft\FSX.CFG file and and look all the lines containing this:

SimObjectsPath=

Be sure there's a path listed for the Simobject\Misc folder, and all the numbers are in sequence. If there isn't, it'a mistake caused by that installer, our installers doesn't touch that line, because it's default with any FSX installation.

I'm having the same problem. The latest crash says:

couatl v3.2 (build 3829)
panic log started on Sat Sep 23 01:55:45 2017

problem raised by addon <unknown>

I have checked my fsx.cfg and all the SimObjectPath= entries are sequential and look like this:

[Main]
User Objects=Airplane, Helicopter
SimObjectPaths.0=SimObjects\Airplanes
SimObjectPaths.1=SimObjects\Rotorcraft
SimObjectPaths.2=SimObjects\GroundVehicles
SimObjectPaths.3=SimObjects\Boats
SimObjectPaths.4=SimObjects\Animals
SimObjectPaths.5=SimObjects\Misc
SimObjectPaths.6=C:\Program Files (x86)\12bPilot\SODE\data\SimObjects
SimObjectPaths.7=C:\Program Files (x86)\Addon Manager\Simobjects\Misc
SimObjectPaths.8=C:\ProgramData\12bPilot\SODE\SimObjects

I have a bunch of other FSDT airports and none are causing couatl to crash. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

That's not the reason of this error. The error in your log indicates you haven't installed CYVR. Most likely, you uninstalled it, then forgot to reinstall it.
