IFR Clearence via FSS causes RC to crash

Featured Replies

Hi all.Since getting RC a few months ago I have been enjoying it alot, a big step up from the default ATC.My only problem has been flying out of uncontrolled airfield. Whenever I try to obtain IFR clearence via FSS RC4 crashes on me. The Wx Breif via FSS works, and obtaining my IFR clearence in the air using the same flight plan also works without issues. The issue have appeared flying in and out of small airports in the ORBX Pacific Fjords scenery and the freeware Netherlands NL2000 scenery package.I have the latest version of FSUICP and MakeRwys installed, and the scenery library has been updated. I don't have the exact error message at hand, but if needed I'll try to reproduce the issue tonight and post it.Any ideas on this? Kind regards, and thanks for a great productMicke

This is an odd one.In version 4 frequencies are from a fixed database file, f4.csv, that provides frequencies. They are not derived from scenery.Try this:Preflight go into the controller page for the airports involved and check the FSS frequency. Check it and change it to test. Check the CD frequency if present as well and make that the same. See if the crash goes away. These changes will not stick between sessions.If that doesn't work, make a log starting debug (alt-tab to RC then back to FS) before you get to the clearance delivery via FSS. Do you get the telephone dialing of FSS to file and get your CD? I don't recall if the option to dial FSS via phone or call on radio is in RC4.To make sure your other data is correct be sure you are running makerwys version 4.41 or better since this fixes some scenery priority issues in gathering airport data. Be sure you follow the correct procedure depending if RC is on a networked client PC to an FS host PC or the simpler case of RC and FS being on the same PC.

Hi Ronzie.Not sure how to put this, but it seems the problem has solved itself. I tried to reproduce it, using the same flightplans as the last time it appeard, and everything works just fine....As for FSS in RC4 it's via Telephone, so no FSS frequency to check... If I recall the issue correctly I got the phone ringing, FSS picked up, I requested my clearence and FSS told me he'd call center and get back to me, and then RC crashed....But now all is fine... should it reappear I'll make a log + a note of the error message and get back to you...Kind regardsMikael Stockfors
