Constant Crash

Postby pyrettablaze » Tue Mar 14, 2017 4:22 pm

Hey all,

Windows 10. Intel i5 processor, GTX 1070ti GPU and 8 GB of RAM.

I have FlightGear 2017.1.2

Shortly after takeoff, the game crashes. I have reinstalled, deleted every setting and clean installed, and I can't figure out what's going on. It doesn't matter the airport.

TerraSync is also on.

Thanks!
K

I have had the same issue over the weekend, I run a Toshiba satelite L-50B with a i5, AMD Radeon R7-M260 2Gb GPU, 6Gb RAM. 1Tb harddrive I had a look in the advanced section of the performance tab within the control panel and found that the virtual memory ( Pagefile) was system managed and was woefully low 1028Mb, so (because I have the free disc space) I upped the minimum amout to 5140Mb and the maximum to 10280Mb. (Remember to go up by the power of 1028Mb otherwise the system will just round down to the nearest correct amount) This has now helped and FG doesn't crash now and my FPS rate has increased from 9 / 12 FPS to 18 / 25 FPS. Also you say when you uninstalled you removed everything, Did you? There is a lot of files the are hidden, and these remain. These lie within the flightgear.org folder within the appdata file, also within the flightgear file within your documents folder. If I have problems I ALWAYS completely destroy these folders so when I reinstall I get a COMPLETE fresh copy of ALL files. Also it's always worth re downloading again rather than using the one that you might have in your downloads folder. I have also found that I have had less problems, when installing if I allow the PC to be "idle" and as the installer says "turn off any antivirus software" follow this advise BUT turn off any wifi or unplug your network cable when doing this as this will safeguard you against any virues coming off the net whilst you are doing the install. Do you have about 85Gb of spare disc space? If so use Terramaster 1.4 and download the whole world in scenery and direct FG to read from that folder, then no need for terrasync, That how I load my scenery during flight, It's instant and if your connection is slow or the terrasync connection is slow, it eliminates slow tile loading Try the above and see if it helps

what craft are you flying?
does it still crash if you use the UFO?
what, exactly do you mean by "crash"?
is this while you may be in multi-player?
flightgear is a simulator, not a game ;)
"You get more air close to the ground," said Angalo. "I read that in a book. You get lots of air low down, and not much when you go up."
"Why not?" said Gurder.
"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."

I have about 2% of my 1TB drive used. Haven't used the UFO. Exits to desktop with crash report message. And it doesn't matter whether or not I'm in MP

We still need more data, what aircraft were you trying to load when this happened? Specifics really help to debug the problems.

Okay. So I used the UFO on the default map and flew extensively with no issues. Uninstalled and reinstalled again because now TerraSync isn't downloading the scenery for the area, such as KSEA (Sea-Tac). It's just water.
