Question for Dan about failures and, an AI A/C from hell

[Steve Mc Lean]

Hi,
First of all, oustanding work on a most needed piece of software. Rarely do I buy add-ons that are worth the price or even the right to call
themselves add-ons. In your case it is for sure and certainly the best ever since FSUIPC. Thanks!

Now, I must ask you about the extent of the capabilities of your program to create failures or cause unxepected events during a flight.
although, I do not think that your program is causing it, I feel compelled to ask.

Can an AI A/C be put in your way to the point of forcing you to take evasive actions or something of the sort.

I tried to get that flight in today, the 4th with your program ( 3 uneventful prior), from CYUL to KMIA in an AC-A321-211 using the E.
Marciano V2.2 panel and that AI A/C, Jet Blue 66 from hell is in my way for more than 20 miles until some how FS9 crashes to desktop.
Giving me a fault of some sort. G3D3.dll or an unknown .dll or some other dll of different nature. I replaced my no cd FS9.exe with the
original with the same results, after that, I reinstalled the official FS patch and again the same, crash to desktop. I even tried to get to that
point in the flight, off norfolk Virginia, at three different altitudes and speed to avoid the flight plan of that "SOB" and, there he is, always
there, a couple of thousands of feet above me forcing me to evade after multiple traffic warnings from ATC and TCAS.

Finally, I tought I would ask because it is the first and only time I have had that happening to me in FS with an AI and I rarely crashed to
desktop but, I do suspect the panel to be the cause unless you tell me FsPassengers can pull that one off.

Cheers!

As far as I know, FsP cannot detect and can't interract with AI planes. So I can't see how FsP can be related to this crash... Seems highly
improbable...

Hi,

That's what I thought.

The panel is not the problem either cause, I flew it again with a different one. Same problem, crashed to desktop but, not a the same
waypoint, just a little bit closer to KMIA, must have dodged it better this time (lol).

Must be from the AI package installed.

Thanks for the answer.

Now, where did I get Jet blue from?

Cheers.

that can be a scenery error also as it appear over about the same area.
As said pagir FsP don't know about AI...

Hello,

Just to follow up.

No need to answer because your program is not at fault.

I believe I found the problem since it occured recurantly in all of my flights in the past two days in 6 different attempts at diverse locations.
The last one occured after landing and, while disboarding the plane... GRRRRRRR , In this case Toronto, prior to that Vancouver, Miami .
Montreal and the list goes on and on. At least I can ascertain that it is not a scenery problem as all of my sceneries have been tried and
tested prior to that and worked fine in all aspects.

I think I can associate the problem with the last edit voicepack update I did. I came to realise that every time it crashed to desktop, it was
after a rapid stuttered message from ATC. Since I use the modified accelerated phraseology version of ATC, I think that one of the .wav
files might have gone haywire somehow during the transformation causing the crashes. I restored to the original and I will find out.

I will keep giving updates until the problem is solved. I might not be the only one suffering from that.

Cheers!

Final conclusions on the crash to desktop problem.

Since I updated my previous voicepack update I have had two flights without faults, a short and a long one 1.1 and 4.2. Seems that the
problem was caused by the edit voicepack sped-up phreseology packaging.

So, all beware of that potential problem when repackaging your voice pack.

Cheers!

Very important point you are giving us, Steve!!!

The voicepack update was put online about at the same time than FsP to my knowledge... Can explain a LOT of things!!!

Thanks a lot!

Does anyone know if this faulty Edit Voicepack effected callsigns. I've found that lately the female AT controllers cant say whatever
callsign I'm using at the time. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi Guys,

This is now the Third time i try to do a Flight From FNLU to FAJS with a project Opensky B747-400 and i have FS9 crash on me, it
happens just before the landing anouncements and the screan goes black and i can still hear the sound on the backgroud, from there
there is nothing else i can do i am really getting upset about that, nothing personal guys, but it makes me loose interest after trying
for such a long time the same thing and it just colapses on me HELP!!!!!!

[sjwk]

I had FS black screen on me in much the same way - can still hear sound and so on, before it finally tells me an error has occurred.

Both times on the same flight plan, beginning the descent. Both times I deployed the spoilers because I'd forgotten to slow down in
advance and was trying to drop below 250 before descending through 10,000. Both times it crashed just as I went through 10,000.

I can't remember what plane it was though.

Not had any other crashing problems on any other flight though. At least, not FS crashing. Can't say the same about some of my planes....

Steve.
