FS9 crashes when flying with France MP VFR scenery?

Featured Replies

Please has anyone had problems with this scenery? I installed it a couple of days ago and when selecting some (not most) of the new airfields (I think these are new and not existing in the stock FS9 but I'm not absolutely sure yet) FS9 immediately (I mean instantly) shuts down to the desktop while the scenery is loading. This in itself is not a big problem as I could just avoid selecting the problem ones but afterwards I also installed what appears to be an update which fixed a lot of airfields altitude problems, however this did not fix the crashing of the certain airfields. Tonight I made a flight from EGSS to LFMK, something I had done before without problems, and just after the beginning of descent, FS9 halts with the MS screen that says there is a problem with FS9 and it must close. As this is in the general area of the newly installed scenery I suspect that whatever causes the crashes when selecting start locations could also be causing the crash I had tonight, probably because I was near or above one of the problem areas. The installation instructions are in French and though I don't write or speak French I got the gist of the instructions, however I might have missed something. I will disable each part of the scenery to fix it by trial and error if necessary but it would save me time if anyone knows the problem and hopefully might have a quick fix. I'm not sure if trying to contact the creator of the scenery would be the right thing to do as I do not speak French. I have assumed that because the instructions were only in French that anything I write might not be understood. I really like this scenery as it upgrades the scenery and airports very nicely in the French Pyranees and would like to keep it for the main airports and scenery even if it means having to remove some of the smaller fields.

I ran out of time to edit the original message. I have by process of elimination found the offending file named A68_5.bgl in the MP-VFR scenery folder and removed it to another folder just for future reference in case it can be fixed. Now all the sceneries load OK but there appears to be a grass texture missing from just one of the previously crashing airfields, though I haven't yet checked the ones that were OK before. If no-one has a solution I'll just leave it as it is and see how the sim runs when overflying the general area. Fingers crossed!
