FMS crash when manually entering dest. and arr. airport

[mattux 0]

Hello everybody,

 

I've got a problem with the MD-11 when I try to enter a flight plan manually.

 

Whenever I try to enter the arrival and destination airport in the INIT page

(for example EGLL/LSZH) , fsx freezes and then crashes to desktop.

 

It doesn't matter what kind of airport I try to put in it always freezes.

 

I also tried different panel states, but nothing works.

 

I also tried to reinstall the MD-11 but that did not fix the problem either.

 

Interestingly loading the company route from the tutorial works, but when

I the try to provide an alternate airport the sim crashes again.

 

The PMDG JS4100 that I have seems to have the same problem when manually

entering a flightplan into the FMS. Although I haven't look further into that problem.

 

I'm using FSX with Acc. pack installed.

 

The version of the MD-11 is 1.2.00055.

 

Thanks in advance

I have the exact same problem with the MD11, when I try to score in the FMC alternate airport

Had the same issue  as you have some time  ago  now, what solved it  for me was running  the md-11 install exe  and  choosing  the repair option. So far havnt  had any issues  of it  yet.

 

 

For your info its  a requirement in the pmdg forums to sign your full name  and add it  to your signature box which will save you typing your name  all the time.

Hi there,

I'm having this trouble also but only when I choose EBLG as my departure....

I just tried with EGLL/LSZH and no trouble for me...

Known issue for long time with the MD11X. You have to be in CRZ Mode before you input a new destination or alternate airport to avoid Freeze/CTD. Happens if dest or alt is inserted in the FMC before your reach the cruise altitude.

Is dest in the above quote the same as new destination in sentence 2 of your post?

Hello everybody,

 

I might have found a potential fix for this (my ) problem.

If I create a new "Flight Simulator X files" directory in my documents

directory which is empty, then the problem I decribed vanishes.

 

I have to do more testing, do more flights and so on, but what seems to be

the problem is when you type in, for example, EGGL as your departure

airport and the FMS software finds a lot of flights with this dep. in your

"Flight Simulator X files" directory ( or maybe to many flights at all)

it crashes.

 

This might have to do with the FMS feature of loading flights directly

from the FMS, may be it can only handle a certain amount of flights in

your "Flight Simulator X files" directory or only certain amounts

of flights with the given departure. But thats pure speculation,

again I have to do more testing.

 

But for the time being the problem seems to be fixed.

 

regards
