Hi all, I really need some assistance with my FS which has run out of control. I have never had a CTD or any issues with FS9.1 until I installed the Aerosoft EDDF scenery yesterday (I have posted there looking for support - I also hope that the great knowledge that exists here might be able to help too) During my first flight while taxiing an error message came up on the screen for a second or two with something about memory allocation error and FS did the dreaded CTD. Every time after I flew out of EDDF I got a CTD at different points, sometimes during pushback, sometimes during taxi sometimes on climbout and another on final. I tried uninstalling EDDF but the problem did not go away and now it affects anywhere I fly in Europe. If I set the departure airport from the FS main screen to an airport outside Europe it loads OK and I have not noticed any CTD issues during flight. But if I load up a flight starting in Europe I get CTD's all the time. Mostly during the loading, it gets to 71% Adjusting scenery objects and then CTD. Sometimes it loads fine and I get a CTD in flight or on the ground. I tried re-installing EDDF but still the problems are there. Scenery wise I am running FS Genesis mesh, and I have the UK VFR Photo scenery, as well as a few payware and freeware airports. I also have a large collection of AI traffic BGL's and Ultimate Traffic installed. Does anyone have any ideas as I have spent a long time getting my FS to run just right and I am dreading the thought of having to re-install. Thanks Garry

Thanks for your reply Marco,No, I have not tried that, I am at work right now so I will see if it helps later.Thanks again for your inputGarry

Have you also made sure that you don't have duplicate AFCADs installed? The Aerosoft EDDF will have installed its own AFCAD which will conflict with the one supplied with Ultimate Traffic. Try going into your Addon Scenery/Scenery folder and doing a search for files containing EDDF - I think the Ultimate Traffic AFCAD is called something like F1UT_EDDF.bgl - and then renaming the extension to .bak to see whether that solves the problem.There's also a utility in the library called ScanAFD which will automatically check for duplicate AFCAD files. I've found it invaluable in the past for fixing CTDs.

If the above suggestions don't help and you have windows XP, run System restore to a point before you installed the scenery..

Thanks, already checked that, the Aerosoft AFCAD is the only one for EDDF I have, but I will check out that program to look for any others.And I was hoping a system restore might undo the damage too but I tried that last night and it did not work either much to my annoyance !Thanks for the adviceGarry
