OnCourse Software

I have the following:

FDC Live Cockpit (boxed version, updated automatically when installed)
Windows XP 64
FS 9
6gb RAM
i7 940 at 4ghz

Every time I fly with FDC Live Cockpit, I get almost all the way to my destination. Today, I flew from Newark to SFO. At the top of my descent into SFO, CRASH! Again.

The error is: Error 6: Overflow in 'updateblackbox' routine

I'm back to the desktop like FS9 had never started. Only the error message remains. At the beginning of the flight, a pop-up FSUIPC message said "FDC LiveCocpit Aborted" but FS9 continued so I kept going. I think that the "aborted" message happened once before. Even if I don't get that error, FS9 will crash during flight.

What's going on here? I do like to have FDC running but I will be forced to pull it out if this can't be fixed.

One more addition: should I make FDC Live Cockpit >2gb aware? I can mark the exe file. I did that for FS9 and my memory issues disappeared (except for these!)

Just a thought....

I very much doubt FDC would make FS9 crash!

Did you read my note? It crashed! FS9 went away, no more, nada! All that was left was the FDC error I posted. Everytime!

I would like some help rather than a blanket statement that it won't make it crash. That's not really any help at all.

I'm open to suggestions. What does that error mean?

Well it could mean FDC had a problem because it could no longer see FS!!!

I don't think that was the order. First I saw a message that FDC "aborted" but FS9 continued. Then it crashed completely.

Was there a checklist running? Had the VCP just lowered flaps or gear? You see FDC is basically only reading from FSUIPC, apart from those events mentioned.

I assume you are using the latest version of FSUIPC and FDC.

If you would like to email me the blackbox.log in question I will take a look but I am not that hopeful. FS has been known to CTD for many, many reasons and I have yet to have an issued raised where FDC actually caused FS to CTD. But as I say, send me the log and I'll take a look
