"Error: Unknown exception"

[netshadoe 144]

Hi,

I started to get this error lately...

lf_checkIO_as_Thread
Error: Unknown exception

I don't have much running other than Active Sky and PF3.  I'm aware of the missing liveries...I'm in the process of creating them slowly but surely.  Could it be an overload on registration code lookups that fails PSXseecon?  I have over 10000 reg codes so far, and I'm only in the "D"s for airlines (Delta and American together make about 3000 codes)!!  🙂

I've attached my log:

Hi Devin,

That's a nasty one. to trace.

The number of registrations should not be a problem. I have 4052 liveries with about 14000 registrations. I guess it is an empty pointer or division by zero problem somewhere. I have to give it some thought....

Do you also have this problem at lower UPS? Try 25.

Nico

P.S. Do note that there are some wild card options to reduce the number of registrations. It is described in the AILGenerator Manual.

Thanks Nico.  I'll try dialing down the UPS setting. 

I'm also going to try other "heavy" airports to see if it is an issue of "overload", though it has only about 130 aircraft (90 parked, and about 35-40 live).  I have only seen this issue in Toronto (CYYZ) so far, so it could be a location issue perhaps?

Once I'm in the air an enroute, I don't have a problem. 

As for the wild cards, I am aware of it.  I've used the option a few times while setting up my AI, but I prefer using full registration.  It's just a OCD thing I guess!!  lol!

I'll keep you posted.

Hey Nico,

Just an update.  I turned down the UPS to 30 and I haven't seen the issue again so far.

Thanks for the hint.

Well we don't know for sure if that was the cause.. but good to hear anyway.
