afcad bgl causing CTD

Featured Replies

Hi all,I just wanted to pass this info on for what its worth. Recently I have been experiencing a CTD while in Spain that occurred everytime I activated the GPS. This occurred no matter what plane I used and only at this particular location in Spain. I had experience with a bad afcad file once before causing a CTD.So I removed my afcad files and low and behold no CTD. I was able to narrow it down after several hours of testing to one AFCAD file in particular that was approx 100 miles away from where my plane was located at another airport that was causing the CTD. That file was for EL PRAT in Barcelona SPAIN and was AF2_LEBL.BGL. that was downloaded here off of this site. If you are experiencing CTD's in this area try removing this file. It worked for me.Don

Open the AFCAD file (you need to replace it in the ADDON SCENERYScenery folder temporarily) with AFCAD221+. Once loaded, select tools, fault finder, OK, and see if it finds faults. Correct any as you go, then select fault finder again and again until all the faults are correct or none detected.Once all the faults are corrected, try the flight again to see if it still crashes.W.

Thanks for the reply Mr Sieffert. I did as you suggested and found 32 faults (red circles) there was too much wrong with it to even try to repair it. It sure explains why I was getting the CTD's thou. Think I will use this to check all my afcads before installing them. You dont think someone uploaded this file like this on purpose do you?Don

Probably not! More than likely they just didn't know about the Fault Finder. I was using a AFCAD file for quite some time and didn't realize it had faults. There were broken taxiways, extra nodes doing nothing, etc.W. Sieffert
