Xplane 11 crashes at plugin init

[Rice_Blk]

Hello,

 

I've freshly re-installed XP11 from steam, I launch it, no problem.

 

I Install all my Orbx products with the manager, the install is successful, I launch XP11, it crashes at the plugin init.

 

Nothing more than XP11 and Orbx content installed.

 

What to do?

 

Thanks

Please try initially to disable all your plugins and see if that resolves the issue. It would then be a matter of finding which plugin is causing the issue.

I suggest moving them all out to a safe place leaving only the default plugin folder contents/files

[Rice_Blk]

Thanks but as I said I have a fresh default xp11 installed. Nothing else. Before Orbx content installation all was fine right after all went wrong. That’s why Orbx content is responsible for the issue 

[Jon Clarke]

In order to assist in resolving the issue i need you to follow my guidance.

The issue could be an installation problem, a conflicting plugin, a missing file etc. Trying to assist from a remote location is always difficult.

We need to confirm that the issue is caused by Orbx addons.

I need you to attach your XP log file

I need your scenery_packs.ini file attached and also your Orbx Central log file attached please.

The Orbx Central log file can be found via Orbx Central/settings/help as shown in the attached pic.

Hello Jon, thanks for your reply, please find my logs here.

 

Best regards

Before i pass this over to the Orbx central team for additional help, I need you to open Orbx Central/ Settings/help and then click on Sync Simulator. That option is also shown on the pic I sent you in my last post

[Rice_Blk]

Hello I’ve already done so. No change 

 

thanks

@Rice_Blk  --  Temporary remove the "SAM_Library" from your "Custom Scenery" folder then drop in the attached "scenery_packs" ini file replacing the one that is there.

Restart PC & XP.

scenery_packs.ini

[Rice_Blk]

@Sentry11 Hello, I've done this, without or with SAM_Library it crashes at init plugin

 

I've also uninstalled SAM from Orbx GUI and same stuff

[Sentry11]

Do you have the plugin "AutoGate" installed?

[Rice_Blk]

No as stated in the opening post, the sim has been freshly re-installed from steam. Once installed I launch all works ok. Then I install all my Orbx stuff back (nothing more), it crashes.

Did you do the Sync Simulator action as requested by me?

[Rice_Blk]

Yes

[Jon Clarke]

I need to pass this over to the Orbx Central support team as it is obviously something wrong in the installations of addons.

Orbx addons do not cause any CTD if installed successfully. 

There is something unusual about your XP Log file in that it doesn't show up any of the Custom Scenery folder's contents and is missing  a lot of other info in comparison to my XP Log for example.

Are you using the Vulkan or OpenGL mode?

Your last log.txt you posted, was that a log created immediately after the CTD?

How do I know this? I have launched the game just once before the crashes

I posted it right after the crash. But now I see from your post that there is autogate still there.... I though I Manually deleted everything after uninstall, should I try to remove it then launch again?

[Rice_Blk]

Ok so I’ve deleted Autogate and it still crashes 

[Sentry11]

Are your drivers up to date?

Take a screen shot of your XP Graphic Settings.

In XP "Output"  /  "preferences"  /  folders delete the files  "X-Plane Save" and "X-Plane".

Restart PC & XP.

If it CDTs again, post the log.txt immediately after the CDT.

[Sentry11]

Where to heck am I going with "Take a screen shot of your XP Graphic Setting", of course you won't be able to do that if you can't get by the plugin init.

Done all this, please find attached the log after crash.

 

Also yes all my drivers are up to date. I've got a state of the art pc (i9, 2080ti, etc etc)

By this log it still CTDs at plugin initializaton. What drive is G:\?  Is that an external drive? Move the XP folder to the desktop and start XP.

[Rice_Blk]

No G is not external, it's an nvme drive.

 

 

I cannot move it to my desktop, will land on my C which hasn't enough space for this (I only run my OS on it). As i said before installing Orbx addons it launched well

[Sentry11]

What do you have for disk space? I'm thinking if its possible to isolate all Orbx add-ons from XP and just start Xp stock, alone without the Orbx.

 

[Sentry11]

Are the following is all you have in your plugins folder.

 

PluginAdmin
XPLM.framework
XPWidgets.framework
Commands
DataRefs
XPLM_64.dll
XPLM_64.so
XPWidgets_64.dll
XPWidgets_64.so

How do I do this?

 

Also as already stated, I launched the sim several times before installing any Orbx product. Then I've installed all my products that were in my library. It crashed since then

[Sentry11]

Yep, I had the same CTD trouble with "SAM" in the plugins folder. Move it safely somewhere else.

Move the "Volanta" plugin out safely to somewhere else as well.

[Rice_Blk]

I've redone it and now it works ! Cool ! Thanks ! The thing is now how do I fix Sam now?

[Sentry11]

Have SAM_Library in the Custom Scenery folder only.

 

[Sentry11]

Are you okay now and back on track?

I am. Not sure what happened but it happened this time. Thank you guys !!

[Sentry11]

I think you had SAM installed in both locations to start with. I had the same CTD problem after updating Orbx add-ons, somehow SAM got slipped into both the Custom Scenery and plugins folder.
