Since I can not post a new topic I have been directed by Captain Sim to reply to the closest topic. So, I am getting a CTD but not related to gauges. I was on a long flight and nearly 3/4 of the way complete when I got an ATC check-in messages. I replied and as soon as the Roger came back, my CTD occurred. IFR flight, no add-ons other than UTX and MyTraffic 5.4C. Any ideas, suggestions, related issues or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Not sure but it seems to be happening only when I use a C-130J. Thanks, Bob

New flight with the C-130J. Initially I did not have extra packs 1 & 2 installed and did not have a CTD. After installing packs 1 & 2, and flying the C-130J I started having the problem. Since that time I have uninstalled packs 1 & 2 and still have the problem. I have tried numerous combinations to isolate the problem including not using all the gauges (radar, pressurization, oxygen, etc) but still have the problem. I have used the startup cycle of 2d cockpit, vc and locked spot before using any gauges and still have the problem. I have even uninstalled the C-130 and reinstalled. Thanks for the feedback I will make sure it is a "clean" startup and try again.............

Markoz: "Did you start FSX, load the C-130, the have the CTD 3/4 of the way through the flight? Or were you using other aircraft (one or more) prior to switching to the C-130?

The reason I'm asking this is because I can fly for ages in FSX, then, out of the blue I get a CTD! I especially get a CTD when swapping between two high end addon aircraft. This led me to finish a flight, exit FSX, then restart FSX, do another flight."

You are CORRECT!! If you have a clean start of FSX and go through the cycle (2D, VC, Locked Spot) everything seems to work fine and NO CTD..............

I don't think that the other things are causing the CTD. But then it could be an OOM (Out Of Memory) CTD, or it could be that something is not working correctly in the C-130J itself.

Try the flight with the C-130E (from the Base Pack) and see if FSX still CTD's.

You might need to reinstall the Extra Pack I to fix the problem.

The installer might be corrupt, so you might need to download the installer again (using the Extended Download Service) and then reinstall it.

My 2D and VC A/P match each other. If I change anything on the 2D A/P it is copied in the VC, if I change anything on the VC A/P it is copied on the 2D A/P. Both of them move at the same time too (synchronized). I wonder why yours is different.
Also. I always have the switch set to HEADING. I have never used it in the NORMAL position.

I've just done a test flight.

C-130J
GPS flight plan
MODE SEL Switch set to GPS
FLT DIR – AUTO PILOT Switch set to NORMAL

After takeoff, I use the A/P with the MODE SEL Switch set to HDG and intercepted my GPS flight plan.
For the en-route flight, I used the MODE SEL Switch set to GPS
For the Approach, I used the MODE SEL Switch set to HDG until I intercepted the ILS, where I switched it to VOR/ILS 1
To capture the G/S, I switched the A/P GLIDE button.
The flight went perfect all the way, not once did the 2D A/P Panel or VC A/P Panels disagree, they were synchronized for they entire flight.

This was the first flight I have ever done in any of the Captain Sim C-130's, and I honestly can't see any difference with the switch in NORMAL or MANUAL. The behaviour of the A/P was the same regardless of that switch setting. So it explains why I have never used the C-130 with the switch set to normal.

Are you sure that all the installers for your Base Pack and Extra Pack I & II are all the same version, AND the latest version, v1.3, as well? I still recommend downloading all the installers again, and then reinstall them all in the hope that it will fix the problem.

Note: I have the Captain Sim C-130 X-perience, which is the Base Pack, Extra Pack I and Extra Pack II all combined in a single installation file (csp131_1300.exe). Whether this makes a difference, or not, I don't know.
