Hi, thanks, amazed of the progresses you've done, apologize for not being very useful...glad increasing the buffer size solved one of the issues. Regarding the mfd pages, that one sounds really strange to me since never had an issue with the logic there and should not be API dependent but good to see you found a solution for that too. Regarding the crash at take off, this was due to https://sourceforge.net/p/x-control/code/ci/master/tree/fms.cpp#l308 last time and the negative a_current_entry_index....

Another update… I check the size of the a_pages_button after it built and it says there are three elements in the set, however, the ++b_it; is still crashing. If I replace the ++b_it; with an explicit load of the first element of the set, "b_it = a_pages_button.begin();” then I can press the buttons and the first page associated with each button set displays on the throttle screen… On Jan 24, 2019, at 10:51 PM, David Toth dtoth12@users.sourceforge.net wrote:...

OK… so I’ve gone through the code and increased the buffer sizes. The plugin no longer crashes on load and it doesn’t crash when the FP is edited. However, when the button is pressed corresponding to cycle FMS page 1 or something like that, I still get a crash… the last entry in the log is something about clearing the welcome screen. I’ve just recompiled the plugin with the debug flag set so hopefully I’ll get a dump with an actual line number and module instead of the general crash error On Jan...

I believe there was a cycledump.txt in the main XP11 folder...I don't recall whether it was empty, or didn't have any useful information... What was really strange was that while it was spewing "USS Nimitz" as the name of every navaid, it wasn't actually crashing until I tried to use the bound change-page button. Updating the SDK to the current release, and switching the define to enable v3 SDK support, fixed the navaid lookup but brought back the crash on load or addition of navaid to the flight...

Hi, sorry once again for the delay...I've just reviewed carefully your tests. Now, there are some similarities with what has been discussed in https://sourceforge.net/p/x-control/tickets/44/?page=1&limit=25#b1f2 but looks like the crash here is hitting a different piece of code. Just noticed I've never published the updated version mentioned in that thread and even worse, shame on me, never pushed out the updated code which should be somewhere here, just need to find out where :-/ But anyway I doubt...

David Toth — Sun, 13 Jan 2019 23:57:48 -0000

Argh... so the progress was only temporary. I upgraded the SDK to the current version, hoping it would fix the problem with the name lookups and the crash in the handling page change, and the original problem is back... debug_out(debug,"fms_fp: Loading departure at index 0"); load_entry(0,departure); debug_out(debug,"fms_fp: back from load_entry - departure"); Plugin crashes after the last line of load_entry (which is a debug print that successfully outputs) This is what's expected [verbose] fms_fp:...

Excellent... it gets past the original crash point now, as you can see from the last log, but I just noticed that all the FP names are coming out as "USS Nimitz" which is a new problem that wasn't in the old logs (which had the correct names)

OK, I added a huge number of debug log statements and I've found WHERE the crash on load is happening, I just don't understand WHY... In fms_fp.cpp, fms_fp_t::has_changed is called on startup with the departure point being index 0 of the FP, in my case KBOS. The actual line is load_entry(0, departure); which I wrapped in debug output... debug_out(debug,"fms_fp: Loading departure at index 0"); load_entry(0,departure); debug_out(debug,"fms_fp: back from load_entry - departure"); I also put debug output...

Here is the Bell http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/files/file/34702-bell-429-global-ranger/ When you load into X-Plane it keeps the last flight plan loaded in the Garmin GPS. So if I flew the L-410 tonight with a flight plan and then tomorrow I load a different plane the flight plan from last night will still be loaded. I'll see if I can nail the exact process down.

user2684 posted a comment on ticket #44

user2684 — Sun, 18 Jun 2017 12:05:13 -0000

Ok, so just to recap, no more issue with the LET L-410 but it crashes exactly in the same place with the BEL 429. Also if the FP is loaded in the LET, saved and loaded from the BELL, then it no more crashes. Is it correct? Bw, from where can I download the BEL 429 you are using? I've noticed USS Perry and USS Nimitz showing up sometimes as well with XP11 only, but this is coming when calling the XP API so nothing I can do about it even if I wonder if it may be somehow related as well....Thanks!

Great, thanks I think I was able to solve it, at least here. Give the plugin below a try (it is 64 bit, let me know if you need the 32 instead). For my own reference, the first issue causing the crash when loading the FP was due to https://sourceforge.net/p/x-control/code/ci/master/tree/fms_fp.cpp#l170. For some unknown reason a buffer of 80 was not enough, by increasing it to 1024 it stopped crashing. How a nav id can have more than 80 characters is a mistery, I guess because for some reasons there...

I still cannot reproduce the same issue :-/ Are you saying this is happening only at the second (consecutive) flight? Would you also please set debug mode to all (I think it is 3) and reproduce the crash? I need to understand which dataref update is causing this other crash. Thanks again!

I'm not 100% sure I've solved the main issue but it may be :-) Would you mind giving a try to the attached?

I had xplane crashing with an (old) v10 version when loading that plane so I've downloaded the latest v11 which opens the plane just fine. When I load your FP I have XP crashing just after hitting the load button (well, with any plan). It is clearly something to do with xcontrol since when the plugin is disabled, it loads fine. I have some weird symbols in the logs but no error messages. Nothing in Log.txt and Cycle Dump.txt. At least I have a starting point even if this is clearly another issue....
