August 22, 20232 yr This has happened in the same spot on two different machines now. About halfway between LAX and Sydney FS crashes with a Failed To Read From File error. This would happen every time on my old computer and I just tried it on the computer I just bought and it happened again. Any suggestions?
August 23, 20232 yr Author After some investigation I've narrowed down the specific coordinates that are causing the CTD. It is S009*0-30 W172*44.71. Does anyone have any idea how to restore this so that it doesn't cause a CTD?
August 23, 20232 yr Really, you need to find out which file it is failing to read from. Try running Process Monitor from SysInternals (filtering out everything except file errors from fs9.exe) and run another test. Then have a look at the output and the last few file read errors. Compare them to the rest of the errors (you'll be amazed at how many there are that don't cause any issues) and see which one stands out. It may be more of an art than science but somewhere in there will be the offending file. I've never seen a failed to read from file error but I had my share of CTD's, usually with no error at all, nearly all turned out to be corrupt textures. Hope this helps, Ian

Hope this helps, Ian I ran the procmon test and the file that was causing the crash was NewScenery.cfg. Any idea how to fix that?
September 1, 20232 yr That's a strange one to CTD on but Is the file there? CFG files are just text so can you open it in notepad, does it look sensible (i.e. no weird characters - it should look very similar to scenery.cfg) Apart from that, you could try adding .orig on the end of the filename and see if a new one is generated. Sorry I've not many ideas, I stopped using FS9 about 6 years ago. HTH Ian
