Any way to identify the addon that crashes my sim?

Featured Replies

So here i am with FS2020 finally successfully installed and actually dedicating some time to setting it up.
I installed some 20 addons, mostly airport scenery and boom: MSFS crashes at startup in the loading screen when showing the PC-6 picture at around 80% of the blue bar, 0x00000c5.
In safe mode it runs normal. It is obvious one of the addons is causing the issue.

Now I wonder if there is any way to identify the faulty addon without spending hours with trial and error. Any logfile or console or something like that?

Remove all add ons, see if it crashes. If it doesn't, load 1/2 of the add ons at a time, and you can easily pin down the trouble maker.

 

 

 

Quickest way is to remove half of them and figure which half is causing issue. Rinse and repeat. With 20 addons you will have pretty quickly

Some russian airports i got from avsim.su. Not a priority now. 😁

Overall the sim seems to be running more stable, with less conflicts and fewer tweaks required than FSX was at its 2006 release.

I highly recommend that you install the Addons Linker (https://flightsim.to/file/1572/msfs-addons-linker) to manage your addons.

I currently have 501 addons installed, 464 of which are active. Using the linker, I can turn on or off addons in a matter of a minute or two. Has all sorts of great features. One of the best (and it's main reason for being) is that you can organize your addons in a subfolder hierarchy. As you may know, addon folders in the Community folder can't be in subfolders.

As already stated start by removing half, but in my experience liveries are the no1 cause - so if you have any of them I’d remove first - or with the first 50%

My MSFS would not anymore start up within the remaining time of my life without it. Yes, I tried once.😉

Plus, it has a map showing you all your scenery addons, which feature was added later and may not be generally known.

Kind regards, Michael

Part of the Technical training classes I taught for around 25 years. 

 

 

 

I always wonder how Poirot has decided which one is the rogue and which ones are clean. He starts by saying "I suppose you are all wondering why I have called you all here together in the master's library". "One of you is the killer and Poirot he knows". And soon we learn how it should have been obvious to everyone.

Use the addon on linker and install 3 mods at a time.
