• 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.

Error Message when scrolling

Sometimes when I'm scrolling across an airport using my mouse I get the following error and an ADE shutdown:

Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

Not quite sure what the problem is.

Jon will be able to debug/explain some of these error messages.

We are still tweaking Memory issues and I find if I start going to fast with various techniques I will get a shutdown.

ADE saves a backup when this happens and reopens it.

I have slowed down some features like mouse wheel movement, "+/- key" for zoom hits, etc. and ADE behaves much better.

We stress the Utility (with many different computers and OS) and working on some of the odd shutdowns that some see from time to time. There are no 2 computers in Beta the same. We have a full range from XP/SP2 all the way to Vista 64. Every possible FSX is confiqured from FSX all the way to Sp1a/Accel/SP2/DX9 and DX10 preview.



Keep those errors coming if you see one. The team will slowly work out the little things.
 
It may also depend on the graphics card and driver. This looks like a low level error in the drawing library

Jon,

I was using an AMD Athlon XP 2500+, 1.5GB Ram, with an Nvidia 7600GS graphics card (w/ an additional 512M ram). Not a high end system, no doubt, but one that should be able to handle ADE w/o a problem.

The "save work before crash" prompt is a VERY good feature.

I am working on adding logging to ADE - that may make it easier for us to find problems when they occur but it will be a little while before that is fully available
 
I've had that in one of my own apps, but only since I updated the Nvidia driver. That was to do with scrolling too. :confused:

I've had to completely rebuild my dev PC in the last couple of days, so it'll be interesting to see if it still happens...

I am running the 163.75 Drivers on these x2 GTX 8800 768MB cards. For the past month they have been real stable.

A new set is out but I have not loaded those yet. Waiting for some feedback.
