FS crashes

[Guest s5fly]

Hi,after a "long" period with out a flight I've finaly found some time to take a short trip from Paris to Vienna. I started FS2004, selected MD-11 from Aircraft list and pressed Fly now! After aircraft has loaded I opend FMC and started programming it. After I filled everything in the INIT and FUEL page I moved to the F-PLAN. Clicked LFPG -> SID and than Flight Simulator got blank. Couldn't do anything with FS for about half a minute and than the fatal error was shown, saying following: The FS has to close, we are sorry... I clicked whre you can see error details. It says: ModName: pmdg_md11.gau After that I restarted FS and tryed again. The same thing. Then I tryed using 737 but this time everything went just fine. I selected MD-11 again and FS crashed. OK I said and tryed diferent routes (LOWW-EHAM, EHAM-LFPG, ...). No problem untill I got back to LFPG.Any ideas 'cuz I want to fly as soon as possible :( Regards,Aljaz Prislan

Sounds like something strange with the nav data for LFPG. Are you using Navigraph? If so which cycle?

[Guest s5fly]

Yes, I am using Navigraph. I don't have the latest AIRAC, but still it's 0910. I thought there could be some relation betwine AIRAC and FS, so I installed the older version which I found on my computer. It's 0908 but even with this AIRAC nothing changes :( Aljaz Prislan

Do you have the most recent MD-11 update installed? I remember having problems with SIDs at LFPG which were one of the issues resolved for me by the last update. Hopefully it's something as simple as that.

[Guest s5fly]

Oh, I think I don't. It's that on the PMDG site right?Aljaz Prislan

Yes, there were issues that were fixed in the patch.

[Guest s5fly]

Hmm... funny thing. I just downloaded the update and when it came almost to its end another error was occured saying: The following error occured on the file'C:\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004\Gauges\PMDG_MD11.gau'I've just checked and the file is there as it should be. So is there something wrong with .gau ?Aljaz

[Gavin 99]

I don't know a thing about that. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable will be able to jump in soon.

Sounds like there is something wrong with the install. I would uninstall and reinstall the patch and MD11. Then see if that fixes the issue.

[Guest s5fly]

Then see if that fixes the issue.

Unfortunately it doesn't. Any more ideas?Aljaz Prislan

The FS9 patch works based on thousands of downloads. Maybe your download copy is corrupted, which I have read about happening here. Try to download a copy of the patch again, save it then run it. Don't run it from the download link.
