I have completed about 300 flights and never seen anything like this… I was careful to remove all causes of interference other than the 2 navigraph folders in the Community folder.
Its only happening at SKCC, using the 787-10 at with a route to MPTO, a freeze happens reliably when switching to external view at SKCC after programming the FMC and proceding with the usual start up steps.
here is the route:
SKLC/15 KUBE1D KUBEK DCT SIGUN DCT PONPO DCT BUSUN BUSUN1 MPTO/BOBUD.I03RY
to be clear: the freeze ONLY occurs when the 2 navigraph folders are present, and they were freshly deleted and reinstalled and the problem still occurs
Hi,
sorry, not reproduce able on my system. I can use the 787 in SKLC without any problems. With and without our package loaded. No freeze - with or without the flightplan.
Does this happen only with the 787 or have you tried other aircrafts too
Here - the default 787, current MSFS v1.34.16.0 and AIRAC 2311 installed:
Cold & dark cockpit - at medium gate - enter the route in the FMC and followed the start-up procedure till the engines are running - goto external view, no freeze, no CTD … switch back and again back to external view. No freeze, sorry …
Same as before - the default 787, current MSFS v1.34.16.0 and AIRAC 2311 rev. 3 installed:
Ok thanks I appreciate your help. As mentioned its a very unusual problem but I can reproduce it still so I will simply avoid this airport and report the issue to MSFS.
The question is:
Does this happened with any other stock aircraft too? Have you tried it because as you wrote, it is a very unusual issue and I’m honest (even it looks so), I can’t believe that this is really an navdata issue. Possible a combination with ither things.
I will analyze the SKLC airport record to see possible more details.
thanks, I will let you know if it happens again. First time in over 300 flights so could even be a single-bit data corruption of something on my M.2 drive (hurry up zfs on boot!). Is there a tool that will check the integrity of all MSFS files?
PS> Navigraph shows the runway as being 6400ft x 148ft wide but in MSFS its severely out of date and only 60ft wide! From google earth the runway appears to have been rebuilt between 2017 and 2021.
