Scenery crashing flightsim

Postby BFMF » Sat Oct 25, 2003 2:24 pm

I've been working on a small scenery pack and I was finishing it up to post on the web, but now it's causing the flightsim to crash when loading a flight in the area of the scenery. I've narrowed it down to the BGL file built by the FS Scenery Creator, but I can't figure out what's causing it to crash when it never did before?

Once compiled It will work once, I can save the flight, but reloading that flightsim & flight crashes the sim. It will act like it's loading but never goes past 0%

Any Ideas?

Andrew. I seem to remember a little FS2002 utility by Lee Swordy for checking BGL files. It should be posted somewhere in utilities. Maybe this would help?

No problems detected.

I've tried everything I can think of but still can't get it to work. But why would FSSC start compiling files which would crash the flightsim for no reason?

Mail it to me & let me try it. Don't forget to tell me which sim it's intended for.

Zip up the scenery first. I'll try it & see if it crashes my own sim. It's possible you might have some sort of conflict.

If I have the same problem maybe you can send the FSSC source file. I hope this won't be necessary.

OK. I have an extra hour as the clocks go back so maybe we can fix this tonight. Fingers crossed. ;)

LOL I'm not so keen as I once was. I just happen to be in the mood. :)

Got it to work in FS2002 just fine, but not in FS2004 ::)

I'm not sure what I did could have caused this. All I did today was move the scenery to the flightsim Addon scenery directory, and I tried renaming it in FSSC. That's all I remember doing with that file

Try deleting the DAT file.
