FSX-Steam Crashes

[OrtegaS 1]

Hello,

 

It seems when i install the Mindstar GNS430/530 into an A/C where VC gauges are used the sim locks up after a few min of play.  If i disable that, then all seems well, but the VC gauges are blank and clickspots are disabled.  I have to use SHIFT + X to pop up the panel and use that way.  It would at least be nice to have some display in the VC gauge while using the 2D pop up.  I know each developer is different, and have even read of some of the same issues  elsewhere online,  but it doesnt seem to be that prevalent.  If you don't mind checking to see  if I missed something plz.  I used the Milviz C310 installer which has a mindstar installer.  Real Air i tricked the configurator into thinking there is a RXP gauge with a dummy file RXPgns.dll in the guages folder then altered those entries with mindstar entries.  I hope I'm missing something, but these are their entries, with a few minor differences to suit my needs.   These issues were present even before I made minor changes.  My changes are in red.

 

Thank you,

Steve

While I can review the files... beyond that you've actually given me very little to go on with regards to actually offering support.

 

You say you get a lock up...  When doing what?  Does the sim crash to desktop?  Is there an error message?  Is there a Windows Error log entry?

[OrtegaS 1]

Thank you.

 

There does not ever seem to be an error msg associated with this issue.  It does not crash to desktop.  It simply freezes as is.  There is still sound related to the current attitude.  But I can do nothing else with FSX.  Its like a picture with sound. This seems to happen whenever I move from the V/C to a 2d popup panel of the GNS.  Back and forth.

 

I didn't see any error generated from FSX in the event viewer, but the "information" side had this:

Thank you,

That indicates EZCA... isn't that some kind of view control application?  How are you opening/closing the popup window?  When you say freeze.  If the aircraft is in motion, does it freeze as well or is there just the loss of user in put?

[OrtegaS 1]

Hello,

 

I was just about to post.  Yes it is a view prgm.  I uninstalled it. Ran FSX for the longest period without issue.  I actually stopped the pgm intentionally.  Reinstalled EZCA and still no issues (no freezes.....as of yet.)  I have run it the longest without interruption.  So I might venture it was EZCA somehow-logic says anyway.  I hope I'm good to go at this point.  Thank you very much.

 

If you dont mind?   I know there is no map but no fix names are visible above 15nm.....?

and LPV appchs or ILS appchs do not indicate a Glideslop dev indicator ...correct?

 

Thank you again,

 

Steve

[WarpD 824]

To see LPV vertical guidance indication you would have to use one of our analog nav displays or Carenado would have to pay attention to our variables that we provide to drive the needles.  With the installation of the 430/530 we installed an additional gauge called MPI_CDIGauge.gau.  It has two gauges that can be used for navigation purposes.  the KI209 is the same gauge that's in the default C172 panel for NAV1.  The GI106A is a Garmin NAV display.  They are both analog.

 

As for names... yeah, we have a bug in that... so they're disabled right now.  Sorry... but trust me... it was ugly and unreadable.

[Cees Donker 0]

I've got the same freezing of FSX-SE after opening the popup.....the problem is with the 530, the 430 works fine.

 

Cees

[Cees Donker 0]

In the default Cessna 172 the popup is without problems, It's the combination of 3d and 2d  of the 530 that freezes up FSX-SE in the third party planes from A2a and Milviz.

 

Cees

[Cees Donker 0]

Without the popups it works okay. I disabled them in the panel cfg. 

 

Cees

[WarpD 824]

Are you using the same program as the OP?

[OrtegaS 1]

Hello Cees,

 

Sorry for your troubles.  If you read my posts it appeared there was a conflict(issue) with EZCA.  At least looking at my Event Viewer indicated a problem with it.  I don't think, for me, there ever was an issue with the Mindstar gauge.  Uninstalling EZCA solved my freezes.  After reinstalling, I'm still experiences no issues so it might have corrected a corruption somewhere.  If you have been experimenting with the *.cfg files I would look there.  If you don't use EZCA (as a possible culprit like in my case), then use FSX with an A/C that you are not trying to use the Mindstar gauge with.  If you can pull up 2D panels (pop ups) using the click spots or the shift+X without issue, then maybe your are not coding your .cfg files the right way.

 

 

 

In the default Cessna 172 the popup is without problems, It's the combination of 3d and 2d of the 530 that freezes up FSX-SE in the third party planes from A2a and Milviz.

   

That really sounds like your doing something wrong.  I have both and they work ok.

Good luck,

 

Steve

OP?

 

Sorry, it's early over here! Other person? I don't have that program (EZCA) installed.

 

Steve,

I have used the exe's of the planes (in the tools folder) do the  job for me. That won't work, obviously.
