• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

AGENT causes crash

I have built some photoScenery, which works well by itself, and then used AGENT to add autogen trees, houses, and rowhouses. I have respected limitations of <600 trees and <300houses and checked over my an.agn files very carefully. Have installed latest mwgfxdll file. Have re-installed fs9, fs9 update, Ultimate Terrain Canada, World Extreme Landscapes and BirdsEyeView Summer and HardWinter plus UKVFR Library with AGENT.

When I fly over my photo Scenery with the .agn files installed the screen freezes. Not even Ctr-Alt-Del will save it. I have to reboot.

Sometimes I can get partway across my scenery before it crashes, and when I do, all the autogen trees and buildings are there in all their glory. It almost seems like a random event when it crashes since it crashes when I am over different parts of my scenery each time.

I must be doing something dumb, but for the life of me I can't see what. I've tried everything I can think of. Any suggestions would be appreciated. This problem is starting to turn me off after 20-30 hours plus of struggling. Thanks for any help!
 
I don't know that there is anything dumb that you can do with AGenT. It's pretty straightforward and I think it's the best FS9 autogen editor. Have you tried the scenery without autogen? Have you tried finding a specific tile that might be a problem? It could be something totally unrelated.
 
Autogen problem

Without the autogen files there does not appear to be a problem. I have not selectively eliminated certain of the autogen files to try and isolate a culprit as this is a big task. But I have gone through the files on AgenT several times, checking very carefully for any building overlaps, buildings partly off the tile, number of buildings<300, trees<600 etc. and have found no problems. Trees sometimes sit on the same spot as buildings however, but surely this could not be a problem?
