Computer Crash from A319/20/21 FMC Route Entry

[BeaconSlash 0]

Hi all,I have a very repeatable error that is making flying the Airbus with FMC information impossible.I am presently trying to fly from PHL to DEN, and all is well with the Airbus until I use the FMC and start entering route data.When I start entering in flight plan route data, as soon as I try establishing jet route data to go from, in my specific instance, SUZIE intersection along J64 to RAV, when I click on SUZIE to enter the J-Route data, once I click on the data entry slot, my computer makes the FMC clicking sound very rapidly about 5 times then completely reboots.I have re-installed the aircraft completely, I have tried changing video drivers, I have disabled video acceleration, I have updated, uninstalled and re-installed current Navdata.at AIRAC info, I have run FS in safe mode, I have rebuilt the FS9 config file. The problem happens at the exact same time every time.While I'm aware that PSS has no intention to continue updating their product, I am curious if other people have this problem and if they are aware of a fix for a complete computer crash caused by entering FMC data.My specs:Win XP ProGigabyte 7N-400-L1 MoboAthlon XP 3200+1 Gig PC3700 RAMATI 9800XT w/ Latest ATI DriversOnboard Sound~Nate

I used to have a similar problem last year every time I used tha A1 airway. This was due to some glitch in the airac and at a time when I was just another user (nothing much has changed except I have a pretty Concorde Pic in my sig).Once the airac changed things were fine.What happens if you use the waypoint BEFORE the one you are entering as the exit point? If you then enter the elusive waypoint as a next waypoint does it still crash?

deleted...I'm pretty sure this is a combo of an error in the AIRAC data and faulty error handling in the gauge. I'd suggest reverting to an old AIRAC set and see if that fixes it.RegardsBob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-V L-300Washington, DC"If builders built buildings, the way programmers write programs, the first termite that came along would have destroyed civilization" -unknown

Hi Norman,Thanks for the reply... I have found a very interesting caveat to my problem.So, here's the route I'm presented with:PHL..PTW..SUZIE.J64.RAV..PSB.J60.IOW.J10.LBF.SAYGE5.DENIf I just try entering this straight up, as soon as I try and enter the J64 route from SUZIE to RAV, it crashes as described above. If I skip over it and just go direct PSB to start then try entering J60 to get to IOW, it crashes the same way. If, however, I enter IOW first then J10 to LBF, it works fine.Now the weird part... so, I delete the IOW.J10.LBF part from the FMC and try going back and entering the other segments. Lo and behold, they work fine now. I noticed that the IOW.J10.LBF segment doesn't have any fixes in it, just VORs, if that makes any difference at all.It just seems to be some form of file access issue, at least as I'm seeing it now. I need to keep playing with it I suppose to find a difinitive cause, but this is the closest guess I can come up with right now. Ideas?~Nate

I've repeated the error in another setting.This time trying to go DBL.J60.BCE crashes, but yet again, if I load up IOW.J10.LBF first, delete it, then load the above route, I don't get a crash.~Nate

I take it noone else is experiencing this problem at all then... well, weird.

hi there,i am experiencing this very same problem in the exact same manner and it rendered my busses nearly useless.I am sometimes able to overcome it by not using airways instead punching in every single waypoint. On some occasions even an init like EGLL/EDDL crashes the whole system.And as you mentioned before, i am also suspecting that it must be sort of data access problem, the clicking noise is repeated 5-7 times very fast and the PC reboots.I was discussing this problem formerly and there was no real solution despite all my efforts.I very much hope that PSS will have a closer look at that.CheersHolger
