P3D v4.3 not responding then CTD

[Dane Watson 38]

After flying for a while sometimes I will get a "Not Responding" message and then a CTD - this does not happen that often but when it does it is most upsetting.

Here is my EVENT VIEWER Report. I also checked Security and Maintenance Control Panel and there are no error or problem reports - any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

It could be alot of stuff, its very frustrating .

Normally i would suspect a corrupted file "on the go" since its not in the beginning when you start P3dv4

Do you use any weather add-ons or AI traffic? I had a corrupted .wx file in my P3Dv4files folder (C/user/documents). Also try deleting the  WXstationlist.bin in the same folder as your p3d.cfg (c/user/appdata/roaming etc..)

P3Dv4 will generate a new one when you fire it up.

Good luck

Thanks

Thank you Michael.

I am travelling for the next three days, will check out your suggestions on my return.

Michael,

I have now done more testing.

I deleted the WXstationlist.bin file and flew a couple of my longtime aircraft and did not experience a "Not Responding" message and then CTD.

Then I started up a new aircraft I recently purchased from Aerosoft - the PBY Catalina (an old 1940's historic aircraft) and while taxiing I had an unfortunate incident - I ran into another parked aircraft - resulting in an "Object Crash".

Immediately I got the "Not Responding" message and then CTD.  So I thought maybe the Object Crash or the PBY aircraft is the cause. I then started up one of my longtime aircraft (Carenado C337 Skymaster) flew for a while, landed and then purposely crashed into a parked aircraft - No "Not Responding" message.

Will test some more but maybe it is the new (old) PBY Catalina aircraft - more testing required...

Isnt there a "ignore crash detection - on/off) inside the P3D-Menu ? Think it is under the "general settings or so)

Might give it a shot

Thanks

Always turn off crash detection, it causes nothing but problems.

Thanks Michael and Bob I will turn it off.
