sotiris 1 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Good evening, Soon after flying downwind of rwy 22, FS9 froze irreversibly. It was not a CTD, only FS9 froze. Other applications kept on working and I saw through the Task Manager that FS9.exe was consuming 587 MB of memory at the time (out of 3 GB I have got). The MS error technical report quoted fs9.exe and appcompat as involved files. Could that be ascribed to a scenery (LCLK X) issue ? winXP SP3 ATI HD4870 3GB RAM FS9.1 Thanks, Sotiris.

James A 39 Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Don't use FS9 so I would suggest going down the road of elimination. Does it happen in the same place with the same aircraft? does it do it with other aircraft? have you tried deactivating the airport and using the default? and does it still occur? Do you have other scenery which maybe interfering and if so, have you tried eliminating that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotiris 1 Posted May 27, 2011 Author Share Posted May 27, 2011 James, I carried out those checks and it seems that the issue was brought about by a lightmap (l.bmp) included in user plane textures. It was verified as incompatible by bmp2dxt3.bat (a DXT3 converter program). But, no matter that, during those tests I noticed and confirmed -three to four times- stutters lasting about 2 seconds in every phase of approach until landing at LCLK of Aerosoft. Believe me, it is very annoying. I know this is a known issue, but I believe that it MUST be sorted out by Aerosoft by means of an update. It can't be left as is now. If I had an alternative LCLK scenery, I would uninstall Larnaca X until fixed, but LCLK as it exists nowadays, is not included in FS9 stock sceneries. Thanks anyway James.

sotiris 1 Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 I have just downloaded, installed & checked Larnaca X v1.10. Good work this time by Aerosoft team as for performance - thanks. However, AFCAD file for that scenery missed apron, taxiway and some runway lines. I fixed it using the corrected AFCAD of the previous installation. Thanks again.
