Hi,I just had an annoying CTD happen to me.I wasn't infront of my PC and missed the descent and the aircraft was already flying the M/A procedure. When I tried to select a new runway, FSX just crashed.Here's a thought:I know software is never going to be 100% bug free (I'm a dev myself). What about trying to catch unhandled exceptions and in this case just completely reset the FMC. If the real boxes freeze up, you can just reset them through C/Bs. I'm not saying we need a C/B simulation, but just reset the ol' thing if something strange happens since you can still continue to fly and frankly, this will add a new level of 'realism'.And I guess 90% of all CTD's are caused by users interacting with the FMC in a way not fully thought through by the developer.RegardsMark

I also had a CTD with sp1b when using the fmc 2 days ago. Halfway through a flight, selected ARR rwyway. No stars or SIDs. Manually entered a custom waypoint near the runway, but decided to >ERASE changes. FSX crashed.Marcus Jian

Marcus,Did you try it a second time?What was in the Windows error log?

I didnt read the crash log because then i was kind of like "arrghh". A small lag felt after the button was pushed and I knew the whole flight was ruined. I havent tried it again though. But it seems the fmc crashes I had always had to do with editing the waypoints. Much higher chance of getting it if stars/sids/ transitions are included with the plan. Rarely a program pin error will occur with adjusting the plan but it is usually recoverable by deleting and reentering the entire plan. But I still have the crash where exec, erasing or upselecting points will have fsx freeze completely for half a min and then CTD. I try to enter each waypoint in the STAR manually instead of just selecting it from the DEP/ARR page, in hopes that this eliminates the problem but it seems I still get it sometimes. Oh well. I think it's pretty random.Oh and btw, I was running only with ASE. All my scenery is tuned down. I was over the ocean and running at frames excess of 100fps using 2d panel.

I know it's a lot to ask,but maybe you can try the adplus application to get more information about the dump.
