P3D V6.1.11 CTD happens at 3000ft below lower cloud layer

Dear

I have issue of CTD without any error in the windows event viewer.  So far I have asked in the P3D forum too, but to my regret I could not have solution yet.

My sim is V6.1.11 on win11 23H2 build 22631.4249. i7-12700k 4.9GHz, 16GB RAM, RTX3080 10GB.

Recently I have upgraded CPU and mother board with uninstalling P3D, deletegeneratedfile.exe, delete all folders and install it by activating again.

I am not sure the CTD started at that time, but am aware of it after the upgrade.  Because, since add-ons for V6 are very rare I usually have made flights with VFR that means low altitude flight.

Anyway, my CTD happens at indicated altitude of climbing 2700ft under fair weather condition every time without any error in the windows event viewer. Aircraft is default commander 114.

CTD happens in the different area but same altitude of 2700ft, I have checked at RJTF(Japan) and KLGA(USA).

CTD does not happen with clear weather(no cloud) even above 2700ft.

That is to say whenever the clouds are in the sky, CTD happens at 2700ft.

I have V5.4 too with my favorite add-ons, so that I have installed all of them into V6 like Activesky, ASCA, Spad.next, FSUIPC, Chaseplane, SODE, Ultimate traffic live and Reality GTN750.

To eliminate the doubt about such add-ons, I have tested uninstall and install V6 again without any add-ons except Spad.next and Chaseplane, otherwise I could not control the plane.

The result is same as before, CTD happens at 2700ft.   (V5.4 is very stable with the same configuration)

Having had my CTD with cloud layer, I have look around the something related figures in the setting, then I found the altitude of 5741ft that is lower layer of cumulus starting in fair weather condition.  The altitude of 2700ft is 3000ft below.  In my V6, lower layer of cumulus is from 5741ft to 12455ft, 2nd layer is of cirrus starting from 39370ft to 40190ft.

For my confirmation I have changed the lower altitude from 5741ft to 6741ft then CTD happens at 3700ft instead.  Set altitude more high CTD altitude increase more high.  And more, set cloud type to cirrus, CTD happens.

Having had suggestion at P3D forum, I have checked at hight altitude airport KDEN displayed altitude is 5430ft 34R. CTD happened at sim start up.  On the other I could make complete flight with clear weather setting. Aircraft is default commander 114.
For my interest, after landing on the same runway 34R, change the weather to fair on world tab, CTD happened immediately.

When Activesky has been installed, CTD happens at the startup of sim if it is cloudy day, but I could make flight and climb up until 3000ft below of cloud layer under fine day and lower cloud altitude is higher condition. 

Thinking my phenomena above, I think something like layer or boarder, or just something must be that altitude that is invisible when the clouds in the sky.
Does anybody advise me how do I go for researching my issue.

Thank you in advance.

Solved!!!

It is incomprehensible for me.    The cause was Carenado's ddl file that was edited into the dll.xml file by its installer.

I have been  looking for something to get information from my freezing and CTD phenomena even though no error in windows event viewer.  Finally, I have found the application named  "WhatIsHang" that colud give me a hint in the line of "Modules found in the stack:" to come to above dll file.

Incomprehensible matter for me is why Carenado's dll file named "CMeteoXmlx64.dll" has such influence.   Because during investigation I had had clean uninstall and install of p3d that means the lines related to the dll file should not exist in the dll.xml.  In that case I had CTD too.

The difference of condition is no lines related to Carenado's dll file in the dll.xml file in clean installation case and exchange "False" with "True" in <Disabled>  </Disabled> command line in latter case.

Anyway CTD has gone with Activesky too.

Since I feel lighting reality of V6 is much better than V5.4 and Orbx is getting come back for V6, I am eager to switch over to V6.  I am very reliefed with this settlement.
