TCAS2V7.dll error

[ideoplastic 86]

last night during the Finnish event on VATSIM and just as I wasestablishing on the ILS I had one of those dreaded crashes anderror report window showing TCAS2V7.dll as the culprit.There was quite abit of traffic around me as well as on the ground. Would appreciate any advice/input as to why this would happen,if at all possible. Thanks in advance.

I think I may have the answer here but I have a lead suit on ready for any bullets ;-)The gauge seems to crash the sim if you get very close or hit another aircraft, which you might say adds to the realism ;-)The only thing I can think is that an aircraft was holding short (for t/o) on the r/w that you landed on. Maybe this does not happen if you are in TA mode instead of RA. As RA is inhibited below 1000ft AGL. Were you in RA mode on approach ?HTHSteve

Hi there, I had a similar problem on the europe one sky event. It was solved for me by following Lee's suggestion.http://www.leveldsim.com/forums/forum_post...p?TID=5410&PN=1you have to be registered at the leveld forum.there is a new tcas version that solves this problem. I guess it applies to the NG too...Let me know if you cannot access it.RegardsThanos Anogiatis Athens,Greece

Steve, I sent you the info on private.I do not know if it is appropriate to publicly post info of a "registration only forum" on a free post one.In the same time 1. I am contacting Lee to suggest him to post here too2. If a pmdg forum admin regards it appropriate can post the info himself here (I guess after contacting a LDS admin?).I hope this helpsThanos

I am curious if you have a TCAS2v7assert.log file in your main FS folder. If so, does it by any chance mention output.cpp line 152?You can try my latest TCAS2v7.dll from here: http://www.csail.mit.edu/~ilh/fs/tcas/TCAS2v7-1.1.6.zipIf you have a TCAS2v7assert.log file dated around the time of your FS crash, this newer version should fix it.(This is basically what was in that Level-D forum posting.)Lee Hetherington, PP-ASEL (KBED)

Thanks a million.Joaquin

The date has me slightly concerned that what you experienced recently is not fixed in the 1.1.6 version of the DLL, but let's see.Lee Hetherington, PP-ASEL (KBED)
