I think that's from an old version of FGcom while it still required that command line... I'll see how it goes after removal.

EDIT
That got rid of the mystery message, thanks, but FG still crashes.

This time, I used the 777 for debug. Startup sounds are there, but once the splash screen is supposed to fade away, it crashes again like before.

Here's the console message again:

Beacon creation, auto-compressed textures, autopilot system, GPS, AI and weather control... I'm sorry to keep bothering y'all, but I'm still completely stumped.
Any other ideas?
Look for "B-BIRD" "N127KY" or "AVA0004" -that's me.

Just a hunch, can you check memory usage of the flightgear process, and see how much it's using when it crashes?

CPU usage spikes at ~25% when I clicked "run", but then it hovers at 15~20% most of the time. However, it spiked to about 50% for a few instances.

However, the physical memory use (RAM) went from 1.60GB at startup to 2.23GB at the moment it crashed... (this dropped to 1.70GB once I stopped the crashed simulator window)
I have no idea how to find out about the GPU's memory usage, though. How could I do this? (or rather, is that important to begin with?)

I don't think the standard log output helps in this case.
Can you try to generate some sort of crash log - "Dr. Watson" did the job for earlier Windows versions (up to XP). I think there's some kind of new method for Vista and newer.
We'd be able to see exactly where in the code your process is crashing then.

2,23GB looks like the memory limit for 32bit processes on windows.
Try choosing another start position.
If it starts then, try to lower the random buildings density (and the tree density) in View-> rendering options.

Or add this to your command-line:
Code: Select all
--prop:bool:/sim/rendering/random-buildings=false

Alright, I used TBPB (my testing airport; I have old TerraSync data for there that should still work) instead of KNUQ as before, and turned random buildings off.
Still crashes mysteriously.

I got the dump file and the report.wer in one ZIP file at the link below. This is what you all meant, right?

Look for "B-BIRD" "N127KY" or "AVA0004" -that's me.

Thanks to (I think this is) Brett, I finally got the problem fixed!

Long story short, after running directly from the command line and running some tests, I figured out the shaders were the true cause of this problem; I had to update the AMD (ATI) Catalyst software to version 11.4 (there's some kind of compatibility problem with versions 11.5 and above, apparently?) -this instantly fixed the problem, and even gave me better rendering performance than in 2.6.

Thank you! :D
