My FS2 is crashing to desktop near London every flight.
I've isolated this to the ~200 UK airports I've downloaded from FSCloudPort.
Is there a log file that will tell me which airport is bad, or must I divide and conquer the file set?

There is a log file, yes:
Thanks Jan.
The log file didn't turn out to be helpful so far. I removed all fscloud airports mentioned in log error messages, but the game still crashed.
Then I just removed all airports near London coords where the crash happens and no crash. So have narrowed it down. Will narrow further when I have time.
I see there are a lot of errors coming from 3rd party scenery in that log file. Hopefully the game is graceful, and it's more like 'error', not 'ERROR!!!'
As one who has created many British airports in FSCloudport, I would suggest you need to bring Spit40 (creator of FCP into this discussion. - Kenneth.
Perhaps a problem with the compatibility off FSCloudport with the last update of aerofly fs2 from december? I've the same problems with airports in france...
Just for the feedback. No problems at my end. I am flying extensively in the UK, and have latest release. All the best on getting this sorted out.

Just narrow down the problem to that single problematic airport by disabling half of them around London.
If still OK, half the other half and so on.
Please report back if you located that single airport, so we can have a look on it.
TomSimMuc I did exactly that, and repeated the process, but could not consistently crash to isolate the airport.
I'm guessing the issue must be caused by a combination of airports rather than a single one or more in isolation. (I can however crash consistently with all of them present.)
While trying to locate the coords for our terrain mesh test yesterday, I had crashes elsewhere as well, so it's unknown how many bad or conflicting airports are in the UK set.
KJKsimmer Thanks for commenting Kenneth. It is interesting to know you've downloaded the UK set and are not experiencing this. If you wanted to try a specific reproduction test, ensure you have EG86, EGKB, EGLC, EGLD, EGLL, EGTF, EGWU around London and drop your plane via Location around London. If the sim crashes to desktop while trying to load the scene, that's what I see.

Yes, I noticed quite a lot of error from Florida Keys scenery and some Orbx products.
While fixing errors from my own sceneries I noticed most errors, if not fatal, tend to cost some load time while the system is searching for stuff...
Good luck with your investigations
Cheers
