RichUK Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Hi, i seem to CTD with most Orbx airports in North America. If I start at KEGE it is OK..any other airport results in a CTD before the airport loads. Various dlls etc. i have most Orbx airports and the problem is only in NA..Europe is OK. updated to P3D V4.3 after a break from FS..but either way the problem is confined to America. Any help or pointers very gratefully received. Thanks! Rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichUK Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 Is there any other information I can provide? I can't use my new KSBA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Hobson Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 If your scenery.cfg is in any way broken, or the airport you are attempting to start from isn't in the scenery library, P3D will refuse to start and/or crash. So posting your scenery.cfg might be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichUK Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 Thanks for the response. Below is the contents of the scenery.cfg file. I see the airports I am trying in there (KPSP KMRY etc). I also tried reinstalling the LC, one of the regions and the airports in the that region, but with no luck. P3D still exits out. Again, this is only in NA - the rest of the world is fine. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Hi Rich Instead of opening the scenery.cfg and posting the contents in a hard to read long list, could you please just attach the scenery.cfg file itself? Thanks Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichUK Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 Sorry Doug. Please find attached. Also, I have LC, the regions and most of the airports in NA, together with Vector and Base etc. Thanks! scenery.cfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Thanks Rich Please apply the below process. Ensure all of your 3rd party non Orbx addons are at the top of your scenery library and above your FTX entries. Then in FTX Central 3 Insertion points, move "FTX entries should be inserted below" just below your last 3rd party addon. Then move the "openLC entries should be inserted below" just below your FTX entries. and click "Save". Then, if you have Vector installed, there is a Vector control panel access button at the bottom of the FTXC3 settings page. When you open it you can select the amount of road coverage etc, be sure to uncheck the "Frozen Surface (in winter only)"option, and check the Australia Add-Ons under the “Settings” tab, then go to the Airport Elevation Correction (AEC tool) tab and run the auto configuration process and be sure to click on "Appy" when it is done scanning.

RichUK Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 Thanks a lot Doug. I will make the changes and report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichUK Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 Unfortunately it is still the same. Crashes on any NA airport except KEGE - I am not sure what is so special about KEGE. scenery.cfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I see your #26 entry "TwentyNine_Palms" is a default entry that should be placed just below the #179 entry "Washington_DC" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichUK Posted October 31, 2018 Author Share Posted October 31, 2018 Oops thanks. Missed that. Made the change. It still crashed, but it got all the way to the scenery loading. I can see the aircraft flight deck for a couple of seconds before the CTD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichUK Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 I guess I will have to reinstall p3d. Such a shame since every other scenery works except for Orbx NA airports. Thanks for trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Hello, P3D v4 is completely intolerant of FS9 models and will crash. As your problem is confined to the "NA airports", could you have AI aircraft with FS9 models that only appear at those "NA airports"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichUK Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 I had UT live but I uninstalled it. I don’t run any other 3rd part AI software. I still find it strange that KEGE works but no others do. KEGE isn’t in a region..that’s the only difference I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Long ago all Orbx FS9 models were removed from the products for P3D v4 for this reason. You need to find something that all your "NA airports" have in common and AI aircraft is by far the most likely candidate. By the way, what happens if you start at an "NA Airport" that is default?

However, I wouldn't recommend reinstalling it until you've cleared up this current issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I have used a free program called Agent Ransack to search for FS9 models as in my below image. https://www.mythicsoft.com/agentransack/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichUK Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share Posted November 2, 2018 Thanks guys for the responses. I ran Ransack and it didn't find any FS9 models. I also started P3D in KATL and KJFK and it ran just fine. The problem exists in the 'strip' from PAKT all the way down to KSAN. Again, anything East of that (such as KEGE) is fine. The problem is confined to anything nearer the West coast (both America and Canada). It looks like every other airport in P3D around the world works just fine.

RichUK Posted November 3, 2018 Author Share Posted November 3, 2018 Thanks again for the help. Looks like I will have to completely reinstall this weekend. I guess you can close this ticket or whatever you guys have to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t flown on west coast in a while I wanted to check out ksan version 2 and all of sudden try to load a flight with default or payware aircraft and prepar3d Loads and just ctds to home screen like prepar3d wasn’t even turned on. I first tried Kpsp to ksan Ctd. KLax to ksan ctd, default Catalina to ksan ctd. Klas to ksan But I can fly Colorado Ktex kege and even aerosoft Kase no problem and everywhere else....strange hoping for answers steve only change before noticing ctd I added tomato shader. And side note. I can get ksan scenery to load for about 5 seconds then ctds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
