Hi there, Hoping someone can help - I've been getting some very annoying CTDs from FSX recently, which seem to happen whenever I either 'end flight' or do something which requires a change of aircraft. The application either freezes or just crashes out. The details of the error are: System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0xC000014B): Exception from HRESULT: 0xC000014B at System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ThrowExceptionForHRInternal(Int32 errorCode, IntPtr errorInfo) at Microsoft.FlightSimulator.SimConnect.SimConnect.RequestDataOnSimObjectType(Enum RequestID, Enum DefineID, UInt32 dwRadiusMeters, SIMCONNECT_SIMOBJECT_TYPE type) at bo.v() at bz.g(Object A_0, EventArgs A_1) at System.Windows.Forms.Timer.OnTick(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Timer.TimerNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam) I have to be honest I know very little about simconnect, and this error doesn't really mean anything to me. If someone can shed some light on what it means, and how I might go about fixing it, that would be greatly appreciated, Kind regards, Tim

Thanks Ray - yes I'm on 4.3.3845. I've not had chance to try out the other airports yet but will do. Thanks for all your help, Tim

Hi Ray, no the EGCC plan that worked was one I created within PFPX after you suggested flying from Manchester or Birmingham, and RC4 worked fine with this. The FP you sent me to try from a different source was departing from EGKK-LFMN - this didn't work unfortunately, which does suggest you might be right about the meridian issue. Sorry if I've caused confusion. As you suggested, I'll try EGGW and EGSS as well as Kennedy when I get a spare mo, and will report back. Also yes I confirm I'm using V4.3 of RC4. Many thanks, Tim

Hi Ray; just wondering whether you'd had any further thoughts on this? Cheers, Tim

Hi Ray, sorry about that - yes I am using that version of MakeRwys, so I guess we can eliminate that. But more news - I have just done as you suggested, and loaded a flight from EGCC-LEMH, exported from PFPX, and guess what? Bingo - RC4 loaded fine! I'll try another northern airport to test the theory, but I think you may be onto something here....

Thanks Ray, that does sound entirely plausible - I'll give it a try and let you know - I'll also try that other flight plan that you sent over to see if any joy. It is a strange one this isn't it! I too love a challenge and am determined to get to the bottom of this some how - it will probably turn out to be something irritatingly simple, although I can't help thinking we've eliminated all the obvious culprits! Cheers again for your help and time Ray, Regards, Tim

Cheers Ray, I'm in Farnborough all day tomorrow so may not respond straight away but will as soon as I can. Thank you again for your time, Kind regards, Tim

No probs Ray - thank you for your help and patience with this. I do use UK2000 Heathrow, so I've tried a plan departing from Gatwick, which I also have UK2000 scenery for. Just verified that this plan suffers from the same problem. Before I paste the .pln contents, this is the entry for EGKK in the data csv: EGKK 51.14822 -0.188976 -1.7 196 10952 And now the flight plan (EGKK-LEMH):

Hi Ray, sorry just to check you'd understood my previous message - this flightplan worked fine with RC4 for me as well, to my surprise - would it be more useful to send you the .pln contents of one of the plans that didn't work? If so, it follows after message. As per your request, the entry for EFHK in the csv file is as follows: EFHK, , 60.3204 , 24.9523 ,-6 , 179 , 11260 The entry for EGLL, which is the start point of the problem flight, reads: EGLL, , 51.47116 ,-0.4611247 , 1.3 , 83 , 13160 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?> <SimBase.Document

Hi Ray, Thanks again for the help, really good of you to take the time. As you suggested, I planned a HEL-LHR flight, and oddly enough RC4 has loaded up normally, without any problems! Very peculiar. The FP I'm using for this flight is EFHK DCT NUKSI N872 TEB N623 BEDLA N866 RAM N581 EVAKI N866 UPGAS UN866 TIPAN UM185 DIGSU UN866 BPK L10 LAM STAR EGLL I don't have any addon scenery installed for HEL so this is a default airport at the mo. An example of a flight where RC4 didn't work was: EGLL DCT DVR UL9 KONAN UL607 KOK FERDI BUPAL REMBA SPI PELIX MATUG AMASI UM149 DETEV UL603 DINKU UQ305 BIBAG UL605 ESEGA VELOM ALMER GAMLI DIVAL UL606 SASAL UZ21 SOGMO BABIT UN739 LULIK NIVIS BEO OKLOP UM19 ETIDA M19 ADVER PENEV LETVA ADORU UL614 ENESU DCT LTBA Although this flight was departing from an addon airport, I did also try starting a flight from Farnborough, for which I don't have any scenery installed, and the same problem persisted. If you have any ideas I'd be grateful - thanks again Ray for your help, Regards, Tim

Hi Ray, thanks for the response - I'm currently using Version 4.9.3.4, dated 9th May 2014 - this was the latest version available. Could this be the cause of the issue? Really appreciate your help, Regards, Tim

Hi there - I'm really hoping someone can help with this as I've tried everything to no avail. Basically I'm completely unable to use RCv4, because every time I start it, my aircraft is moved to a different location on the airfield, and there is no RC display window visible. In fact, there is no evidence that RC4 has actually started, other than that my aircraft has shifted several yards across the airfield. This behaviour happens when using both addon and default airports, and with addon or default aircraft. I've tried running the rebuild scenery DB from radar contact, and this made no difference. I've tried reinstalling FSX completely, which took hours, and exactly the same thing occurred when I'd reinstalled it. Clearly something is amiss somewhere, but I'm at a loss as to what to try next - if anyone has any ideas, I'd be really grateful. In desperation, I've tried looking at other ATC addons, but nothing really comes close to RC for me, so I'd really like to get it working again. Just for info in case it's helpful: OS: Win7 64 bit Platform: FSX Gold Edition (FSX + Acceleration pack) Running in DX10 preview mode It may or may not be relevant but the flight plan I'm using is a .pln file created by PFPX. Regards, Tim

Cheers Ronzie. The thread you linked to was very interesting, as people mentioned resource issues with UK2000 LGW, which is the scenery I was using when I experienced problems with RC4. I'm thinking it may just be a losing battle, unless I can shift some of these add-ons to a client pc through wideFS. The odd thing is that I never had these issues when I was running all these add-ons on my older PC, which was a much lower spec. I think I will look into setting up a WideFS system, as I do have another PC running as a media server. Thanks loads for all the help and advice, really appreciated, Kind regards, Tim

Hi Ronzie, Interesting point; I tried a flight departing from a default airport rather than an add-on one, and all worked fine. Seems to support the ram overload theory - is there a way round this problem? Would giving these processes a higher system priority be any help? (sorry for my ignorance, not really very knowledgeable on how virtual ram works!)

Thanks Ronzie, Firstly I've made a bit of progress with solving this issue - I've discovered that this problem only seems to occur when I have Active Sky Next running. When I start FS and RC4 without Active Sky, everything runs normally. Could this be an FSUIPC conflict between the two programs? I have now updated to the latest version of FSUIPC, and my video drivers are up to date. I'll add my machine spec to my profile in case that helps, Cheers again for the help, Regards, Tim

Thanks Ronzie, The versions I have installed are as follows: Radar Contact: 4.3.3845 FSUIPC: 4.9.0.0 MakeRwys: 4.6.7.5 I have run the scenery rebuild in RC4, which completed successfully. However, I am still getting the same issue, and the RC window is not appearing. I've recorded a log file as you suggested, so I'll send that over. I'd be really grateful for your help in resolving this problem, Kind regards, Tim

Mmm. it seems I do still have the problem - it seemed ok after I installed the DX10 fixer, but now I am still getting the issue. I run FSX, start a new flight with the aircraft at the gate, and then go to start RC4. When I do that, the aircraft is immediately moved several hundred feet across the airfield, and buried into the ground, and again the RC4 dialogue box does not appear. There is no functionality at all this time - I've not had this problem with RC4 until now - would really appreciate some advice. Many thanks, Tim

Thanks Ian, installed the SteveFX scenery fixer, and problem fixed. B) Now my PC can handle DX10, I'm realising just how much better everything looks!

Hi folks, Firstly I'm really sorry if this has been dealt with by another post already - I did have a look and couldn't see anything that matched my problem but I put my hands up if I'm duplicating anything! Pretty simple problem, I'm running FSX in DX10 mode at the mo, and everything seems to be working fine, except that the RC options window is not appearing - I can still hear the comms, and from memory I know what most of the options are so to an extent I can still use it, but it is a bit tricky without the window being visible - is there a compatibility issue with DX10 with RC4? Or is there a specific fix for this problem, as it would be really nice to get RC4 running ok with the DX10 set up, as everything else seems to be running ok. Be really grateful if anyone has any suggestions or solutions, Kind regards, Tim

Hi Jim, Yes I enabled it using the first option, within FSX, and then restarting. Just to clarify, the DX10 mode was not the cause of my problems - the issues I reported were happening in DX9 mode - I just enabled DX10 mode out of curiosity as part of my troubleshooting to see if the same thing happened. As I said, running in DX10 mode, everything appears to be fine, but this doesn't explain why I was getting the graphics issues in DX9 mode. Thanks for the suggestions and help so far, Kind regards, Tim

Hi Bryan, The issues you describe are very similar to those I'm experiencing. As I mentioned in my original post, I don't use ENB, so I can rule that out, although I accept it may be an issue for you if you use it. Just out of curiosity, I thought I'd see if I get the same problems in DX10 mode, and guess what - I don't! In fact, FSX is running flawlessly in DX10 mode, and I can switch between windowed and full screen modes, as well as minimise and maximise, without any graphics problems at all. This is very surreal indeed, although I'm really hoping someone will read this and know exactly what the cause is. I'm happy to fly in DX10 mode if it means I don't get these issues, but there's still a lot of scenery and addons that don't like DX10 mode very much, so I'll have problems before too long. Determined not to reinstall FSX, I've now gone through and uninstalled various things one by one, such as UT2 and EZDok. I also let FSX build a new cfg and dll file to see if that cleared the issue (it didn't). Perhaps I will end up doing a complete reinstall, but I'm worried I'll end up with exactly the same issue again, if I can't find the reason behind it. As such, I'd be really grateful for any further suggestions!

Unfortunately I'm still getting this issue, despite having deleted the uiautomationcore.dll file from my FSX root folder. This is absolutely baffling, and quite frustrating - I'm really not looking forward to the prospect of uninstalling all my addons and reinstalling FSX from scratch! Any further suggestions would be gratefully received!

I think you may have the answer here Jim - this would make perfect sense, as my problem seemed to start after I installed the Aerosoft Airbus X Extended add-on, which uses the dot net framework as you describe. Unfortunately I didn't see your post before I uninstalled Airbus X, but I'll try your suggestion tomorrow and am hopeful that this is the key to the graphics issues. Really grateful for your help - I'm glad I posted here! Kind regards, Tim

Hi there, Thanks for your reply - it happens right from the beginning of a flight, at the gate during cockpit prep - I only built this PC about 6 weeks ago - no problems with the graphics card and no cooling problems so I'm pretty sure it's not an overheating issue, but interesting point - I'll keep an eye on temps. Cheers, Tim
