FMS CTD

I'm posting here in response to CS's request. I wanted to reply to the suggestion that slowing the speed of input into the FMC would prevent the CTD from happening. I tested this pretty well last night in FSX, but still had the CTD. The particular crash I had was when I went to input a crossing restriction at SMO on the SADDE6 into KLAX. It crashed right as I put the 7000 into the SMO line of the flight plan. So I wasn't even doing an exec, just inputing the restriction.

One other point is that I had changed the arrival runway from what I originally had on the flight plan. I did this and exec'd it well before inputing the 7000 and CTD. I don't know if that could be a contributing factor in the crashes.

With 4.2 my first test flight, no more than 10 minutes in on changing my arrival runway, CTD.

Hi all,


When you guys CTD are you in full view or windowed mode(ctrl+alt+enter). I was just curious as I read on a different website that sometimes, with specific older graphics cards some programs ctd. The windowed mode apparently helps this. Give it a try and let us know if it helps. What have u got to lose, you guys have tried everything else.

I'm in full mode. I guess I can try it, but I believe being in windowed mode incures a performance hit.

Windowed mode made no difference. The first flight plan change I make enroute, CTD.

Are Captain Sim working on the problem?

its very dipressing really! Though i haven't encountered this type of crash but totally different crashes especially when flying 757 in multiplayer. It crashes without giving any warning. Sometimes back to the lobby or straight to desktop. I've put FSX to rest as i've moved to x-plane and I've to say i'm thoroughly enjoying x-plane, so far no crashes and wonderful flight dynamics+realistic textures+incredible weather engine.

I do appreciate efforts put by captain sim and other vendors for fantastic planes but "maybe" its just plain stupid micro$oft's base engine which does not allows addons to be flexible/complex enough. In that case addon developers are at mercy of microsoft. This is just a speculation I donot know the reality.

Can ayone help me I have 4.2  installed and when I try to load FSX flightplans into the CDU the darn thing crashes and reloads FSX again its very annoying. As an aside do you load FPlns into the FMC in the same way in 4.1 as in 4.2? Kiss

Hi,

Captain sim didn't answer yet to my question.

Well to be clear this thread is about the FMC crashing to desktop in both 4.1 and 4.2. I'm more concerned about the crashes that occur when flying an active flight plan since I enter the flight plans by hand. At least you can work around the loading flight plan bug by doing so yourself. Granted that it should load them without crashing, but that's another issue.

Anyone know how to fix this issue. I just got the 757 and am frustrated that I can't fly the bird because it crashes at Cost Index.

So far, so good for me.  I performed a test flight from KIAH to KAUS with the v4.2 update.  I input a restriction of 140/3000 at BROMS, and it worked without a CTD.

Had no trouble picking up LOC and G/S on runway 17R at KAUS once I dialed in the correct settings on the radio stack.  ILS guided approach went flawlessly.  I was very pleased with the initial test flight on this one.

However, I did get a CTD once when I selected "End Flight" after pressing ESC after landing, but I would consider this a minor issue for now.  I will keep my eyes open for issues as I test it more extensively.  I may yet uncover other issues.

Hi Everyone,

Well, I too am getting this CTD.  I was just now inputing my flight plan from ATL to DFW with the Cedar Creek 6 Arrival for 35C.  When I put in the altitude restriction for the HOWDY intersection it crashed.  This was happening to me with a flight plan from DCA to ATL and changing the altitude on the FLCON3 arrival into ATL.  

I really hope they are finding a fix for this.  When I submitted a trouble ticket, I got a response back to just redownload and reinstall.  They indicated they could not duplicate the issue.  Well I redownloaded and reinstalled and still not fixed.  I replied letting them know it did not correct the issue about a week ago and have yet to receive a response.  I am a little irritated as I just spent close to $80 on this plane.  This is more than what FSX costs!!

Sorry but we do not answer this question.
Just a hint: the 757 SP 4.2 was released just 3 weeks ago. So personally I'd not expect the 757 SP4.3 any sooner than Spring '09.

Thanks for the response. If the problem is corrected before SP4.3, can you guys release a temporary fix. I paid around $40 and can not use it at all without a CTD.
