Cloudsurf WSSS CTD problems

[captain420 3,099]

Not sure why but every time I try to launch to this airport my sim crashes. I'm not sure what's causing it. It was working fine for me before.

Update: I found the culprit. It was Tropical Sim Tapa airport. If you have these 2 installed, it will cause WSSS to crash.

Update #2: After adding back the rest of my mods, WSSS is crashing once again. It seems like I need to go down the list of addons and remove one by one to see which other addons it's conflicting with. Seems like Cloudsurf WSSS is the only addon that is giving me trouble and cannot seem to play nicely with other mods. I don't have this issue with other mods.

Do you have ali501 kai tak installed?

Check the naming of the Material Libs folder..  if the folder inside is named "mymaterials", change it to "mymaterialsWSSS", although I thought they took care of it in their updates... 

After doing this you need to edit/update the "layout.json", and edit/update all instances of "MaterialLibs/mymaterials" to "MaterialLibs/mymaterialsWSSS" (should be 25 items that need to be updated in the .json)...  take back up of the original first (just for safety), before making these changes, once it works, then you can ignore the old version of the "layout.json"...

Hope that makes sense...

They did not. It still has the old name "MaterialLibs/mymaterials". The addon linker has a great tool that will search out those names and adjust them for you automatically. However, the Addon linker tool only works with sceneries in its own folder. Somehow it doesn't look in those external folders where a lot of scenery, especially ORBX installed scenery resides. Does anyone know of a way to have Addon linker scan those folders?

I have a very low end system, (i7-3770K with GTX 1050Ti) and frequent CTD at WSSS and RPLL until reduced the LOD sliders. I had a LOD slider both at 50, then I read about reducing the sliders and settled for 10, (don't laugh) and gradually increasing it. Now I don't have any crashes at all at both of the payware airports.

It's not the best, but it's better than CTD.

I am now settled with LOD sliders both at 40, which a little better than 10..😁

The big problem I'm seeing with FS2020 is mods in different parts of the world can affect others in other areas.  Never seen this problem to this magnitude before.  An add-on in Calgary or San Diego can cause the sim to crash if you load of TAPA.  Modders will need to refine their work so it doesn't adversely affect other work in the sim.

Never had any problems until loading up at cloud surf's WSSS. It's the only addon I have that is causing crashes and not playing nicely with other addons. I am running ultra settings, so LOD at max. Cloudsurf really need to fix this crashing issue because I am not going to lower my LOD settings just to get it working as a temporary fix.

I only had to do this for WSSS... all other sceneries follow the naming convention correctly for me...

Thanks so much for the fix! Yes I agree that developers need to fix this issue so that we don't need to mess with it! Finally I can fly at this airport with your help. And no I don't have Ali's Kai Tak installed to the other person who was asking.
