dotChuckles 13 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I think I might have found a solution. I did two things, so I don't know which is responsible. Your mileage may vary. First, I deleted the Megapack Liveries that I had installed. Second, I added anything to do with MSFS to the Windows defender exclusions list. (edit: actually another thing I did was verify the files in steam, as I have the steam version of MSFS and accepted any downloads that it created in MSFS after.) I don't know which of those things did the trick, but everything now works as intended, and I am able to use CRJ normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using the CRJ normally means u start the sim, pick the CRJ and load it into an airport without it crashing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I say, removing Megapack and adding MSFS to windows defender has got it working. Hopefully this is the solution. If not... I can't explain why it works for me and not others.

Hmm, good thought about Windows Defender. I've never used any non-default liveries. I just tried it with Defender mostly disabled. One of my problem parking spots worked the first time, but CTDed the second time. Sigh. The CTD could at least have the decency to be consistent.

Yeah, Steam verify files will redownload the whole thing again. It is basically a full reinstall. I'm not going to fully reinstall because this is the only issue I have and all my other planes work.

Not strictly true. It will only force a download of anything that doesn't match the manifest as I understand it. Hence why my download was significantly smaller. However something in that, livery deletion and Windows defender tweaking got it working. Like I said at the start... Your mileage may vary. Perform at your own risk.

Well, there are literally many dozens of complaints about using verify files on the MSFS forums. I wouldn't know for sure, I don't have the steam version.

Maybe if other people wish to try this, just stick to removing the Megapack and adding MSFS to the Windows Defender exemptions to prevent the possibility of forcing a redownload.

Yeah, that's weird. I can consistently load into the CRJ from various places. I had a thought that maybe it was location specific (I was purposely trying to break my fix to see if it was a fluke) and it's worked every time and been fully functional. Sorry it's not helped you, like I say, maybe it sheds light on the nature of the bug for people more in the know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
