Guys I have no idea what else to try at this point. My FS9 has always run great. Worked great under Radar Contact 3. However since I installed RC4 I can't complete a flight without FS crashing. It can occur 2 minutes into a flight or an hour into it. But I'll be flying along and I get a black screen. Then after 30 seconds a message pops up that FS needs to close and do I want to report it to MS? When the crashes occur, task manager tells me RC4 is not responding. I have used the update button and RC4 updated today. However FS still crashes. I have also tried using the rebuild scenery button in RC4. No help. My FS9 worked perfectly until I installed RC4. What do I do now? I don't want to go back to RC3. Nothing else but the install of RC4 has occured.Bob

what version of fsuipc is in the fsmodules directory?what plane? what scenery?does it happen with every plane? every where?what version of advdisp?what weather program?try two thingswhen you start rc, very first thing, click the debug button, choose a file name, and click "ok this will make a big file"then load the .plnset your optionsstart rc and flywhen fs crashes, quit rc, zip up the .log file, and send it to [email protected]

Ok I will. I went back to RC3 and I was able to complete a full flight. Tried another with RC4 and it crashed again. I have the newest version of FSUIPCPMDG 737-700Default FS9 sceneryHappens with any plane, and crashes vary in locationsLatest version of ADVDISPASV for weather.Like I said the only thing changed on my system is RC4. Went back to RC3 and all is well. I'll try the debug button and see what happens.Bob

what is the latest version of fsuipc and advdisp?

I think I've solved my problem. The "Rebuild Scenery DB" function was not working properly in RC4. The first 2 times I used this button it only listed a very small number of things. Then on the 3rd try it finally worked like it was supposed to and I got a much larger rebiuld. (Sorry if that's not the right term but I'm not sure what this function does) Anyway I then loaded up a plan from KMCI to KDAL that I had been trying for days and I was able to fly it completely without a black screen or a CTD. I have read here in this forum of several people reporting the same problem with the "rebuid scenery DB function" and that's what made me try it a third time. This time it worked properly. Now please give us a volume that we can control and please help us with the voices. They are too slow and robot like. Other than that thanks for a great product.Bob

the other makerwys problems were related to widefs.you must have tweaked your scenery cfg for makerwys to find all of your airports/runwaysvolume control won't be anytime soon, but we are working on something for the voices, which i think will make everyone happy.jd

Nope didn't tweak anything. The function in RC4 just decided to work on the 3rd try. I hadn't changed anything. I was waiting to hear back from you guys.But it's all good now. Program works fine.Bob
