ozric766 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Hi all, Just bought the new EGLC airport - amazing release! When I try to land on runway 27 - 100ft from touchdown the sim announce a crash (like ground crash) . tried with different kind of airplanes and get the same result. crash, and then sim closes and back to windows. Does anyone else experience this? Please update Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dow Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 The general advice is to disable the crash detection in the sim. The original coding was never suitable for today's complex scenery, nor is it particularly realistic anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some strange elevation issues going on at EGLC, which I think is the issue. I've bought it but I can't use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dow Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Oh. Interesting. Well, if it's not the actual crash detection, but a crash to desktop with no warning, that's usually indicative of an FS9 model in the scenery somewhere, which is a known trigger for a sudden return to desktop. I can't imagine it's in the actual package from Orbx, or we the testers and other users would have experienced it, so it's likely to be an aircraft or ship model related to another scenery package. Tracking it down might not be easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peregrine Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 The issue is the fact that everything is ok on approach (I've only tried RWY 27 so far) UNTIL about 50-100 ft above the end of the runway then all of a sudden everything stops (i.e. the screen freezes) BUT the sound carries on and you can hear the plane land and a couple of seconds later the screen comes back with the plane (usually) off the runway somewhere because you can't see what you were doing. Just for information I am using the Majestic q400 and that is the only aircraft I've tried so far. And my approach speeds have been on the money so this is not user error. This makes the airport unusable and it would be good if we could get a response form the devs. I also have the same issue at KSEZ. The video would seem to indicate that the aircraft thinks the runway is more elevated than the visuals would indicate. eglc.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dow Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 That sounds like the issue with the Majestic Q400, which is why I don't fly it anymore. It does that. The plane basically just pauses while something loads up and then the sim has to compensate or catch up. This shouldn't happen with any other aircraft.

It would be good to get a response on this from and ORBX employee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it's been that way since I first bought it for FSX I was hoping it would behave better in P3D but it isn't any better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that was a waste of money, then. I've had issues with vector and elevations since day 1. And yes, I do run the tool. It's disappointing that I don't seem to be able to find a definitive solution to a problem that exists with a combination of ORBX only products.

Nick Cooper Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Hello, you could try disabling Vector rather than uninstalling it. You could also try renaming ABP_EGLC.bgl, the only Vector file for this airport. You didn't answer the question "have you tried with other aircraft?" It is possible that this could be a unique combination of three products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurizio Rizzotto Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Goodmorning everyone, I encountered the same problem, using three different aircraft and also trying to touch after the middle of the track. The problem does not arise if you take off and land in the opposite direction. The crash occurs both with GB True Heart and with "normal" GB and is located in the track header. Hoping to have been helpful, I offer my regards. Maurizio Rizzotto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Hello, thanks. Can you confirm if you have Vector and if disabling it makes a difference please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dow Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Peregrine Your video shows something more like a wake turbulence effect in Active Sky to me. But I'm not privy to your sceneries and setup so I don't know what's going on there. I just completed a quick circuit of EGLC in the Q400 and as you can see my flight resulted in a normal touchdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maurizio Rizzotto Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Hello, the crash occours both with and without Vector activated. Regards Maurizio Rizzoto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
