a bit more formation flying

Great looking skins, jankees! In the lower shot, it looks like you are flying near the Palermo Airport off the coast of Sicily.

[jankees]

correct! OK, what the 9th AF does near Palermo I don't know..
But all my skins so far are now available on OZx, including the ones in these shots.

I want to thank everyone involved for a first-rate package. At long last a B-26, and "Gold" edition at that.

I have run into only one issue with this installation. I can call up and fly any rendition of the B-26 except for the "KWB26" variant. Whenever this aircraft is selected the sim shows the aircraft in the preview panel but when activated - to fly - the sim gets as far as loading the cockpit without detailed textures - at which point it stalls and then I get a CTD. This is the only variant that presents this problem. I've checked the texture properties and they're the same as any of the others that operate without a hitch. Aircraft cfg entry is the same for this one as for all the others. I've pulled the previous test version of the B-26 that was in my aircraft folder (did that as per instructions). Still running into this problem.


Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks SSI01 for the comments.

I use this livery as my default load for the B-26 and have no issues at all with it in FSXA with a GEForce GTX260 with <1GB memory. It loads fast and clean.
So the issue must be elsewhere.

This is the only livery that has MIPmaps in the textures. Could that be an issue for you?

What Win version are your running?

EDIT: These texture loads are pretty heavy. If you have been swapping liveries, maybe a fresh start of the sim and reload of this livery would be a good test.

[Milton Shupe]

I now have three people reporting crashes on one or more liveries.

Please when reporting, state your Windows version, which sim, and which livery crashes.
It will help to resolve the issue.

Thanks

Might want to add that if getting a CTD, then check the Events Viewer to see what the "Faulting Module" is. I have 5 bucks that says it's NTDLL.DLL error like I was getting with Rob Richardson's new F-9 Cougar.

What sim are you referring to? FSX, FSXA, P3D (which version?)?

[SSI01]

Hello again Milton. My pleasure to provide the compliments, they're well-earned.

I'm running Windows 7 Home Edition Premium, SP1, with an AMD Phenom II x4 940 processor, 3.00 GHz,
12.0GB RAM, 64-bit OS. My sim version? FSX Gold Edition, out of the box.

Sorry, aiming at FSX, FSXA, FSX-SE and not towards P3D.

That's interesting - I don't have that .dll in my Modules folder in the sim.

[MrZippy]

No, but you might see it in a CTD crash report.

[Milton Shupe]

That's a Windows .dll found in the Windows/System32 folder or other depending on your Windows version.

I thought for a while that this problem was with only certain paints, but after more testing there really is no pattern to this CTD issue for me. Here's my notes so far:

-- Hasn't caused any problem yet
Funny Bunny
Geogia's on my Mind
Idiots Delight
Rosie O'Brady
Repulsive Rabbit

-- CTDs when selecting the paint.
Fightin Cock
Big Ass Bird
Heavenly Body
Keller's Killer
Shu Shu Baby

-- Loads but CTDs on changing plane
Some Punk Kin
Willie Jr.
Valkyrie

-- Sometimes loads, sometimes CTDs
Rationed Pasion
ISH TAK HA BA
KWB26
Wam Bam

The Windows event viewer says msvcrt.dll is the faulting module.

[MustangL2W]

Same "Fault" for me.... msvcrt.dll is said to be the culprit

Experiencing the crash issue.

All liveries appear to be associated with crash however intermittently and randomly.

Tried re-downloading and installing the package but problem persists.

[Milton Shupe]

You should Google the reported msvcrt.dll error. Lots of Win/7 crashes reported for different reasons; one may apply to your system. Note that many times the error is caused by the program requesting msvcrt.dll services when improper data is supplied.

[Milton Shupe]

Thanks for reporting the technicals guys; that helps a bit.

Is anyone besides Win 7 users seeing this crash issue?

[Taco]

Yesterday the B-26 flew without any problems, but this AM they all crashed. Using windows 7

[Milton Shupe]

I'm beginning to think its simply a texture overload issue when changing liveries multiple times. There are lots of large textures in the mix when you throw in the bumps and specs.

Of course it could be the NFL trying to get us all to watch the game :-)

[MrZippy]

Anybody who is having CTD problems with the B-26 Gold release, my question would be did the first release have any difficulties like this?

Ah, Milton...You're stealing my ideas! I was also thinking about texture issues. Maybe try substituting one of the original textures for the ones causing the problem, if that's possible?

[Taco]

Milton, my bad. My B-26s didn't crash to CTD, they just locked up the FSX. Re-booted and just made a nice flight in one with no problems.

We cannot compare the old with the new; there are tons of differences, and the two are not compatible so that does not help.
