February 21, 201610 yr After a 4 hour flight i switched on the dome light and it crashed straight to the desktop with no Prepar3D has stopped working. No report in the event viewer or the appcrash! Not sure why this has happened? Bad install of the 737 NGX ? Vernon Howells
February 21, 201610 yr No, not a bad install. I've seen this as well and it's also happened randomly when refreshing scenery textures. I think it is a P3D issue, somehow loading textures causes this to happen maybe once every 20 times I use the dome light switch. Now I've become spooked by this and do a save before using that control. Happens 777 or NGX as well. Dan Downs KCRP
February 21, 201610 yr Author Hi dan. Well i'm glad its not my system or only me. I've also posted it on P3D forum. Vernon Howells
February 22, 201610 yr Author Dan just got another crash using the dome light after a 4 hour flight. is this a PMDG bug because L/M isn't claiming responsibility Vernon Howells
February 22, 201610 yr Commercial Member Dan just got another crash using the dome light after a 4 hour flight. is this a PMDG bug because L/M isn't claiming responsibility What is in the crash report? I haven't heard of this until now. Since we'd had the NGX in P3D since v2.5 and haven't heard about it until now (v3.1), I'd imagine it came up due to updates in v3.1. That's just my initial thought, however. Kyle Rodgers
February 22, 201610 yr Author I'm not sure kyle either never had this problem with V3 Nothing is logged in appcrash or event viewer. Vernon Howells
February 22, 201610 yr Commercial Member Nothing is logged in appcrash or event viewer. Frustrating, but without that, it's nearly impossible to find out where the situation lies. One might think that it's easy: you click a PMDG button and the sim crashes. The issue though, could also be that our simulation is calling something that was damaged in the update. If what we're calling the sim to display got messed up in the 3 > 3.1 update, then it would definitely also cause a problem, and one that we can't fix. They'd have to. Kyle Rodgers
February 22, 201610 yr Author Not got a clue why its not getting logged! Is anyone else having this problem with V3.1 kyle? Vernon Howells
February 22, 201610 yr Commercial Member Is anyone else having this problem with V3.1 kyle? Yours is the first I've seen. I routinely use the dome light when prepping flights in 3.1 without issue. Kyle Rodgers
February 22, 201610 yr Commercial Member After 4 hours or so? Yep. I use it for post-flight stuff, too. Kyle Rodgers
February 22, 201610 yr Commercial Member Should i do a clean install kyle I don't see how it could help. If it's happening only a certain amount of time, it sounds a lot more like it's a sim issue...very much like that MSVCR issue. Kyle Rodgers
February 22, 201610 yr Author hoping more V3.1 users report back if they have this issue then Vernon Howells
February 22, 201610 yr Author Done another test flight 5 hours now and no crash. strange Vernon Howells
