CTD in climb on AP FLC HDG out of PDX heading to JAC with manual FP only DEP and ARR entered as VFR in the sim... 😞

Tried a second time with NO FP just manual in the FMSL: same thing 11k in the climb AP LNAV FLC = CTD. Something is broken.

2 CTD's in a row just after T/O

2 CTD's in a row just after T/O

I haven't instslled 081 yet, but an update on my experiences: 8 flights so far. 4 from C&D where I manually entered the complete flight plan and 4 spawned on the runway, ready for takeoff, where the departure and arrival airports came from the sim. All of the later ended in a CTD (although on one flight, I was literally powering down the aircraft at the destination parking area when it crashed). All of the former were completed successfully. 

@Flyfaster_MTN002 @odourboy and others: For us to be getting CTDs from a JS coded plane is definitely hugely unexpected and should not really be possible, in theory. It's clear that something we're doing is causing an existing sim bug to flare up for some people. We're trying to get Asobo some more data on this issue.

For those people who are having pretty frequent CTDs, if I could ask for your good graces, if you're willing. I'd like to set up minidump crash reports so we can forward more stack traces to Asobo for analysis and we can all work through this issue together. Please DM me and we can work to set this up on your machine (it's quite easy to do) and then get these reports collected.

With your help we can get this issue sorted and you all flying this plane again.

Hi Matt, I had my first crash in this aircraft in my first flight with v0.8.1.  Crash was not too long after departure, route was KBUR - KLAS SLAPP2 MISEN KEPEC6.  The CTD happened near RAYVE which is the first waypoint on the SLAPP2 departure.  Here's the details:

First error:

Application: FlightSimulator.exe
Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.
Exception Info: exception code c0000005, exception address 00007FF6CC6A0002

Second error (three seconds later):

Though it's my first crash I'll send you a DM in case I can help further.

Version 0.8.1 changes this a bit to make it more intuitive and flexible.

To load the game flight plan, go to FPLN RECALL and use the option to load the game plan. This will load your current MSFS plan into the FMC, and that is what will be flown.

To have the FMC send its plan updates to the sim, updating the sim flight plan, enable FP SYNC in mod settings on the FMC.

The plane will always fly what you see on the FMC, and the VFR map and MSFS ATC will always follow the sim's plan.

Still getting the same issue I got before where I get the discontinuity.  I forgot to mention I'm setting up my flight plans starting/ending at the ramp with full SID/STARS.  Trying to post a screenshot but I don't see how to do it on this forum.

If a screenshot is a no go, just typing the info that's on the legs page would help as well.

Just to be clear, is your problem that there is a discontinuity? To clear a discontinuity in the LEGS page, you need to select the waypoint after the discontinuity, then click on the line select key next to the discontinuity, telling the FMC that you want to remove the discontinuity and direct connect the preceding waypoint with the selected waypoint. However, if the discontinuity is preceded by a vector, denoted by "(vect)" then you can't remove the discontinuity (this is by design), however if you want to remove the vector leg AND the discontinuity, you can select the waypoint after the discontinuity and then click on the line select key next to (vect) and this well remove both the (vect) and discontuniuty.

Is this what you're trying and it isn't working? I ask because I just loaded up SBA-LAS with departures and arrivals on the world map, loaded into the plane, saw some discos and cleared them no problem...

This video at 19:00 shows clearing a discontinuity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_h3R-TspUQ

If this isn't working for you the best bet is to make a quick video (just hit alt-z and you can record straight from Nvidia overlay) and put it on youtube as an unlisted video and share the link with us, or drop into our discord (link in my sig) and someone can help you better than back and forth forum posts...

 

What you guys have done to the CJ4 is amazing, you should have your own parking spaces at MS HQ and a desk in the development team for the work you've provided, for free, to give the base MSFS such a boost ahead of the arrival of the big 3rd party devs

Quick question: is there a timer I can activate?

Quick question: is there a timer I can activate?

It's on the EFIS control panel labeled "ET" (elapsed time), which is displayed on bottom left of the PFD

Using Version 08.1

1. Generated a flight plan with the default MSFS flight planner.

2. Loaded up the plane

3. Message "no flight plan" on the PFD; and no flight plan in the FMC

What am I missing? With version 0.8. the flight plan was loaded automatically. 

Thanks.

This is exactly what I am doing but Matt helped me with the issue.  Seems I needed to delete the VECT fix in the flight plan.  Now like others have reported I can't do a whole flight without a CTD.  Mine usually after takeoff around 4,000ft.  I emailed Matt about not being able to get a speed ticker setting on the PFD.  The tool tip shows the speed I'm trying to put in on the ramp but it never shows up on the PFD.  Not sure if this has something to do with putting in the VR speeds.
