Got my first Radar Contact "crash" tonight, any idea what caused this one? "RUNTIME ERROR 9....SUBSCRIPT OUT OF RANGE". I was on an IFR flight from CHS to SAV, requested return to CHS. No problem, good vectoring back in to ILS 15, was about to land and got "go around" from tower and did. I was following the vectors back to downwind when i recieved the error and that was it for RC3..had to do a lost comms senerio.. oh well it keeps you on your toes. By the way I am getting a lot of go arounds.. There not waving me off cause I am spot on on the ILS, what ARE the odds of getting one... thats the last thing you want to heae after a LONG flight! Thanks for a product that is turning this sim into a serious training tool!

I can't speak re: the internals of RCV3, but I do a bit of Visual Basic programming. That particular error usually means that the program has attempted to access an indexed table of data (known as an "array") beyond its maximum index number. In other words, if the table contained a total of 12 items, the program has attempted to read or write a non-existent item "13" (for example).This is a very common error in complex programs. I'm sure the RC team will be able to track down the cause for the bug. At least Visual Basic will catch this particular error, and bring the program to an immediate halt. The "C" programming langauge (in which much of Windows itself is written) contains no error-checking routines regarding arrays. A C program can easily write data beyond the limits of an array which can very quickly intrude on RAM memory reserved for the operating system, leading to the infamous "blue screen of death".Jim Barrett

two things. try to duplicate it. but this time, before you are at the point it's going to bomb, bring up rcv3, and click the save button. it will take a minute to save all the fs and rc data to a file.then continue your flight. do exactly what you did to cause the error. if it happens again, ship me the rcv3saved .dat file, whatever you called it, and the fs200xflightsmyflts .wx and .flt files with the same name of the .dat file. won't take me long to find the problem.are you running widefs?

I always pause first. It helps a lot. ;-) You can pause if you manually save from the interface, not if you save from the hot key.

Hi JD,I will try the flight again as soon as I can in the next couple of nights. I appreciate the support you guys are giving us here. I will let you know one way or the other if it crops up again. By the way, how are the odds set up for the go-arounds...or does RC "see" AI traffic on the runway and makes this announcemnt?Thanks Again
