CTD SMP 4.7 w/TBM 900 XP 11.30b7

[Ant1matt3r]

Hey all, 

As the title suggests, I'm experiencing a conflict with my new favorite airplane and SMP 4.7 - I get a CTD right after X-Plane loads the xtcas plugin. 

I've also noticed the AFL C172 is in an odd "crashed" state and the menu is missing. Other aircraft seem to work okay. 

Also, noticeable improvement over default weather, even on maxed out settings (at KAWO no less!).

Hoping to find a solution for the TBM soon though. I'll attach my log, though it's not very telling. No crash entries. 

Thanks for your hard work!

You should probably start with the TBM900 support forum and see if they've seen this before. You're right that the log isn't very telling, but it seemed to crash immediately following the load of one of their plugins, so they might at least know what it's a symptom of. SMP has no direct interactions with aircraft, so whatever is going on is probably more complicated - such as running out of memory, or some add-on writing outside of its memory bounds.

I'm just starting to go through SMP 4.7 support issues this morning, so if I find any evidence that we're writing outside of our memory bounds I'll update this post.

Thanks for the response - I'll post on their forum as well.

So, I did a bet of testing. 

I ran Windows Update, updated my GFX drivers, rebooted ... Launched X-Plane, loaded the TBM 900, everything loaded. Menu on left missing (I'm running windowed, so I normally don't have the missing menu issue people report), tailfin looking all scrambled and weird, propeller doing weird swirly animation. 

Uninstalled / reinstalled TBM 900, launched again - same issue. Disabled RWC / SMP in plugin menu, reloaded aircraft - all worked fine. 

 

Re-enabled RWC / SMP, CTD. 

Attaching log.txt 

About to launch again to see if issue persists. Will test again after uninstalling RWC / SMP if issue persists and report here.

Okay, launched again, same issue. Uninstalled RWC / SMP, relaunched, TBM 900 working fine. 

I'm not sure if this is a problem with SMP directly or maybe an issue with the authentication portion (gizmo?)

Re-installing SMP first. Will install RWC afterward in an attempt to isolate the problem. 

Thanks.

Well, that log does seem to be implicating the TBM. SMP 4.7 does use more system resources than 4.6 did in terms of memory, but I don't know if that might be affecting it.

[Ant1matt3r]

Each time I attempt to re-install SMP I get an error: Unable to download component to SkyMaxx Pro: File not found

 

Please advise.

You are using an out of date installer.

[Ant1matt3r]

Thank you for the response - I'll download the updated one right now. 

I appreciate the help troubleshooting my issues!

[Ant1matt3r]

So that worked - I was able to install SMP again - however, I'm experiencing the same issues with the TBM 900 - the menu is gone, the yokes are missing, I'm seeing a weird aliasing / texture overlap on the tail, and the aircraft number is shrunk and on the tail and flickering. 

[Ant1matt3r]

Tested with multiple aircraft now - in my situation, it breaks Aerobask planes, Airfoillabs planes, and Hot Start planes for me. I cannot see the menus on any planes, and they aren't behaving correctly. I am going to uninstall SMP for now. Please let me know if I can be of any more help!

I don't have any other reports of this at all. Do you have some kind of a shader app? I've just tested with the TBM and I also don't have an issue, either on Mac or Windows.

Have you tried this in 11.26 instead of a beta?

[Ant1matt3r]

I don't have any shaders, but I am using some FlywithLua scripts - I'll completely remove the plugin this evening - I'll also revert and test on 11.26.

Thanks for the help - I'm glad this isn't affecting more users, but it makes it more difficult for me to figure out. Haha

I'll let you know the results tomorrow - I have an event this evening. 

[Ant1matt3r]

So between updating to 11.30r1, updating the TBM to 1.1.2, and updating SMP to 4.7.3, all is well in the X-Plane world. Bout to do a flight, and I'm totally stoked. 

Have a good Sunday.

I have finally resolved the issue - GroundTraffic loads a billion plugins for every add-on airport one has, and it would appear as though I've reached the hard limit on plugins. I disabled many add-on airports outside the area I intend to fly in, and everything works like a charm!!!
