| Post subject: | ATC.dll CTD |
| I was flying happily along, Madrid to Rome in my Lvl-D 767, when suddenly - silence and a black screen. Don't you just hate it!! The faulting module was listed as ATC.dll
- it seems that this can be caused by identical adjacent Comm frequencies - I don't know if that was the problem in this case of course, but the CTD certainly happened at the moment PF3/ATC was in the middle of changing radio frequencies en route. (I need to check that later somehow to see if frequencies are the same, if I can). Would that be a problem to PF3? (It was FS9 ATC that crashed, not PF3 of course). Looking at some of the suggestions to avoid this occurring in the AVSIM CTD forum, I see one is that you add the line RemoveATC=Yes to the FSUIPC.ini file. Any comments on this, or on ATC.dll CTDs in general? Would the line in any way affect the operation of PF3? I managed to continue the flight by reloading the AutoSave file and a suitable Lvl-D panel state file, but I wasn't able to get PF3 back to where I was at the time of the CTD - I thought it gave an option of resuming where a flight left off if it didn't finish, but I didn't get that for some reason... I tried tuning to local approach frequencies and tower frequencies, but PF3 gave the same response to all my attempts, that I wasn't tuned to any frequency and wanted me to tune to my departing airport's clearance frequency. Did I do something wrong? |

| OK, I continued Googling and it lead me to one of my own posts here in the Oncourse forums! I guess my memory has deleted that particular bit of information from my grey cells (they are at a premium these days!) to make room for something else... viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1348 Dave L already mentioned the FSUIPC "RemoveAtc=yes" string, saying there could be CTDs without it - in fact I found that I did already have that line when I looked at the FSUIPC.ini file but for some reason it was disabled with // at the start of it. It's active (again?) now anyway. I guess the question has been answered then. Probably... (Apart from why I couldn't get PF3 to continue from where I left off: even when I landed at LIRF and tuned to the ground frequency, there was no response to 'Clear of Runway': pressing '0' still told me to tune to LEMD clearance). |

Martin, do you have PF3 configured to save restart data? |

| I did have and it was doing it fine last time I needed it. Did one of the updates reset it? ... just checked.. no, it is still set to save restart data once a minute. |

| OK, I will do that next time, thanks. |
