CTD when starting a flight

[dfloth]

Greetings!!

I just downloaded/installed the full version of 1.8.3. Then configured my employment and installed the FCDU in three different planes. No issues.

My problem is when I get to the step to start a flight (via pressing "Proceed") my P3D version 5.3.17.28072 crashed to desktop.

This happens to any of the three planes each time no mater if I start the canned flight or try to pick a destination on the fly. 

Each FCDU log ends with:

FCDU.GAU:: 13:58:00 Airline Alternate list not found.
FCDU.GAU:: 13:58:00 Alternate list (C:\P3D V5\FSCaptain\Config\Preferred_Alternates.txt) in use.

Attached are my logs and the Preferred Alternates file *yes it does exist :-) 

preferred_alternates.txt (1.05 KB)

Let me know if you need anything else and thanks in advance.

Cheers,

Hello D-Man,

you could try adding an empty line at the end of Preferred_Alternates.txt. Open it with Notepad.exe, go to the very last character, press enter once, and then save the file. Also, it appears that the FCDU.exe works, is that correct? If yes, I would suggest completing a single flight with it and then try the gauge version again. Let us know what happens.

Happy Holidays,
Peter

Hello Peter,

Same result after adding the space as requested.

I posted the new file for your review.

Please advise..

Cheers!

Hello D-Man,

This is very unusual....

Could you please post the Windows Event Log data for these crashes?  I'm curious as to exactly what is crashing.

Thanks for your logs and I will study them in the next few days to try and duplicate what's happening with you.

For now, could you try to dispatch your flight via the Administrator before launching your P3D5?  I'm playing a long hunch that doing this might bypass the issue you're running into.  (Which still needs to be addressed of course....)

Thanks again!

Best,

Greetings Travis!!

Ok so,,,

Yes.. I filed a short flight with my 172 from KSEA to KBFI through the FSC Admin tool and no issues.

After clearing log files and in the same 172 I attempted to start a FSC flight via the FCDU starting in KRNT to KBFI.

This caused a CTD when I pressed the Proceed button on the FCDU.

Attached are the FSC logs, App logs from the Win11 event viewer and the P3D app log referenced in the event log.

Thanks for looking and let me know if you need anything else.

D-Man,

Your logs showed me the path that you took towards the CTDs, but in my build for P3D4, there was no crash. 

I'm working out a few last bugs in the first build of 1.8.4, and when I'm done (middle of next week??) I can send you a link for a Refresh Build with some added breadcrumbs that would help me isolate the source of your problem.  Drop me an email so I can send you the link there.

Best,
