Just tried a flight from Geneva, and....all is good

.........and me

thanks IPACS, that's good news

Hi, yes others are having this problem - see here: http://www.ipacs.de/forum/showthre…to-stop-working

That's interesting, since you have an Nvidia card - I thought this only related to AMD cards.

I asked about this on Steam, and another guy there has the same issue - specific to Geneva, with other airports in Switzerland being problem free. I believe he has AMD graphics, but I've asked him to confirm that.

Hi - I don't think there's much more I can tell you. The problem only occurs at or near Geneva, and is the same whatever aircraft or graphics / time or other settings I've tried. When I try to fly from the airport, or approach the airport at low or high altitude, the game crashes with a 'Main executable has stopped working' message. Would be useful if other AMD users can tell us whether or not they have the same problem.

I guess it's some kind of install problem with a section of this DLC, since everything seems fine otherwise.

I should have said as well that I've tried all graphic levels and different times of day, but it is a persistent problem. I also cleared the Steam cache before re-installing but that didn't help. Strange problem which seems unique to Geneva and its immediate area.

Hi Jeff - I've tried it with several aircraft and get same problem, including the King Air for example. Time of day - UTC 12hrs 01min. General and miscellaneous settings are default, visibility at nearly full, low cumulus clouds, wind at mid-point from NE (44 degrees).

Here are graphic settings:

My system is Win10, AMD FX4350 Quad cpu, 16gb memory, with AMD Radeon 2gb R9 200 card.

Hope this is enough info.

Thanks Overloaded - I had seen a comment about some textures being low-res in Switzerland. But that wouldn't cause the CTD would it? And doesn't explain why trying to load Geneva airport causes a CTD either I guess.

I'm encountering a problem when trying to fly from Geneva and in the surrounding area. Although Switzerland otherwise seems fine, as are the USA areas, when positioning for take-off at Geneva, the 'Main Executable' stops working. This also happens when flying fairly locally towards Geneva, where there are also some low-res tiles. The sim is working fine everywhere else I have tried. I have uninstalled/re-installed Switzerland a couple of times, but same issue occurs. Here's a screenshot of the area which shows the low-res tiles, although Geneva itself seems high-res when I zoom in to the map:

Any help / advice much appreciated

Good news to report I've just re-installed the sim , along with South West USA and Utah (I'd removed everything after the graphics problems), and all is now ok. Many thanks to Jeff and the IPACS team, seems that the problem is resolved. Now downloading Switzerland and NYC

Thanks Jeff - I have an AMD card, so now looking forward to the fix I was very impressed with the sim and the high res South West USA dlc, with the result that I uninstalled all my MSFSX stuff - I prefer to see the real world. Of course it's frustrating that AMD users have to wait, but I understand this was an unforeseen glitch which you have addressed quickly.
