• 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.

FS2004 FS9 has stopped working/is re-starting

We have a weird problem. We are building some detailed custom scenery for FS9 with Gmax, with placement of the models in ADE. The compiled scenery files work fine in my co-designer's PC but in mine, after I shut down FS9 (Ctrl C) I get a message to say that "FS9 has stopped running". I can cancel the message if I'm quick, but if I'm not FS9 re-starts. This happened on my previous PC with the custom scenery loaded (Windows XP) and again on my new one (Windows 7) with a clean install of FS9.

We have used a process of divide and conquer to split the main placement file into subsets in an attempt to trap any suspect models. The process of splitting the files like that actually solves the problem for me, but any attempt to amalgamate some of the sub-divsions back up into a larger file, brings the shut down/re-start into play again. Remember, this is after I have actually shut down FS9.

Has anyone experienced this before, or could any suggestions be made please as to what the root cause might be. We can obviously run fault free with the split .bgl files, but it's just bugging us.

Thanks in anticipation,
John
 
Do you have any Platforms in your Scenery?

If so that could be the cause. There is a bug in FS9 that when you have multiple platforms in close proximity FS9 will CTD if you try to close out the Simulator or use the go to airport menu while in the area of the Platforms.

For me two platforms will cause it but one alone will not.

It is a strange bug that affects different systems differently.
 
If you make an afcad file... using afcad or such... make sure you have a runway connect line placed if there is a runway... there must be at least one... I have found that when I make an afcad file, and I dont place at least one runway taxi/link line for the runway, fs9 crashes straight to desktop when loading the scenery...

dont know if you have or have not done this in your scenery, but fs needs certain info if it is to expect to reference the airport in the facilities list.

hope this helps, this may not even be it,, but i thought I would suggest...
