Hi

 

If I just load a flight and start it, there appears to be no problem. However I have tried use Rob's tips re VAS efficiency and load a flight, then save it to re-start through the .fxml file. However whenever I click 'save' P3D (v2.4) just hangs up and crashes. I have tried this a few times, and received differing error messages in the event viewer, as below. One relates to a kernal32.dll. I have googles this and there is reference to updated drivers so I have updated through GFE experience, to no avail. The other error message relates to the map viewer. This is interesting as on the couple of occassions when I have used this in-flight, It has also caused a CTD. Any suggestions,details below. 

 

Cheers

 

Ian

I had this problem some time ago.

In the above link there is some explanation by Adam Breed in a Prepar3d forum thread.

 

I solved removing an aircraft with an error in aircraft.cfg.

Cannot understand how it can crash Prepar3d every time one attempt to save or load a flight, but removing the plene solved the problem.

I read also (cannot find anymore the post) someone having same problem with an AI aircraft or AI products or some corrupted MTL

Hello Claudio

 

Ok, thanks, I'll look into that.

 

cheers
