ArGee Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Hi Team, I installed YMML but now when I select YMML in FSX I get the following message: "The instruction at '0x20e8693' referenced memory at '0x06d35410'. The memory could not be read". Then FSX crashes. I also get a similar message for YMEN but all other airports are still OK. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and I've shut down other programs and services but that made no difference. I'm assuming I've got some sort of memory conflict but I really have no idea on where to start looking. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My system is: XP SP2 M/b Asus P5N32 -E-SLI Intel core2 Duo E6600 2Gb PC 6400 DDR2 Ram GeForce 7300GT Video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Have you tried loading a flight at nearby Essendon YMEN and flying towards YMML to see at what point you get the CTD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArGee Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Hi John, I can't get that far. When I go to select airport location on the FSX front screen, then hit 'Fly Now' button, that's when the error message appears. Then when I click OK on the message, I get CTD. Same for both YMML and YMEN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Perhaps try Moorabbin or YMAV? We need to isolate where the CTD is occuring, so Essendon seems to be in the deadly zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This crash indicates usually faulty memory. I would recommend to run memtest86 booted from CD as a first step, before investing time in searching software errors. Just to make sure...

ArGee Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Heiko, I'm running Memtest86 now and so far no errors. My initial thoughts were that it was a memory problem on my computer, but there have been no errors with FSX or any other software. It is only this new scenery that seems to be a problem. I'm no IT guru, so I'm really a little bit lost. Memtest is still running so I'll post results later. John, Flying from Moorabin to YMML I got a CTD at Lat 37 58.60 and Long 145 03.96. Flying from Avalon CTD occurred at LaT37 56.98 Aand Long 144 32.28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Hi Ray, I see in your post that you have XP SP2, installing SP3 alltough a far shot, also resolves a number of know "issues" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArGee Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Hi Wolter, SP3 was something on my 'to do' list. Perhaps I better do it and see if it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArGee Posted August 15, 2008 Author Share Posted August 15, 2008 I've run memtest86 for a prolonged period with no errors reported. I've also installed SP3 and checked for virus, malware etc, but problem still persists. I still have a feeling that the problem is related to my computer, hardware or software I'm not sure. I'll keep looking in the hope I can turn something up, and if anyone else has ideas, please let me know. BTW, although I paid $53 I'm not crying. I think it was money well spent in support of ORBX and the fantastic job you guys are doing, and I expect I'll get YMML working eventually.

Davidbutler Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I'm having a similar problem with YMML except that my computer just closes down and I get the message "No signal". I have, today, had a new board inserted but still the problem exists.I've not tried other flights in the area yet Order No. FSS0009327 GeForce 8800GTX 768MB 4GB Memory Dave Butler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 We've checked for memory leaks at YMML at found none at this stage, so that's not it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArGee Posted August 24, 2008 Author Share Posted August 24, 2008 Hi Dave, I'm not sure your problem is quite the same as mine, as my computer wasn't shutting down, just FSX crashing. In my case, I finally solved the problem by shutting down items in the YMML Control Panel one by one. It turned out that 'airside runway and taxi lights' was the problem. Seems strange to me, but this was the only item causing the problem even though it was daylight. At least I can fly into YMML now even though my FPS are chronically low, I think that's due to my crappy video card (new one needed). So try shutting down your CP items one by one and see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
