Chances are that it is one of the FF A320 plugins that crashes. In both cases the last log entries are by FF A320, though the last entries in the log is certainly no proof by itself. It only confirms that the FF A320 did something due to activating the TCAS display...and later on a crash occurred.
What is the difference with LiveTraffic running? Without LiveTraffic (and no other similar plugin) only X-Plane's AI aircraft are shown as TCAS targets in an TCAS display. This will be as many as you configured AI planes, no more than 19. With LiveTraffic, the difference is the number of active TCAS targets an internal TCAS implementation (like the one for FF A320) would need to handle. With LiveTraffic this can be up to 63. There have been several cases in which TCAS implementations were not able to handle more than 19 TCAS targets because 19 used to be a previous limit, lifted with XP 11.50. (proven examples: Little XPConnect, XHSI, AviTab, all of them fixed by now).
I have not yet heard of FF A320 being a problem, but we can figure this out now. Please do the following:
EDIT: There is one more thing:
First off, the scroll bar won't let me to set Max. number of Aircraft to 19. If I scroll to 19 with the left mouse button and then release the button, it changes to some other near number like 15, 20. I suggest it would be nice to fix the scrollbar.
I set 15 and it worked. And it crashed again with 20. I attached new log.txt and rpt crash dump.
So, is this a bug in the plane A230 and I should report to FlightFactor?
The Max. number of Aircraft setting might indeed snap to multiples of 5...but you tested it the right way: All good with 15, crash with 20: this indicates a problem with the FF A320 implementation.
Tomorrow I can have a look into the provided crash report for confirmation.
Now it crashed again with LiveTraffic plugin disabled and with 19 AI Aircrafts. I sent the log to FlightFactor, see if they can fix it.
...and I have looked into the crash dump: Crash location was in file
C:\X-Plane 11\Aircraft\Laminar Research\FlightFactor A320 ultimate\plugins\systems\64\win.xpl
.
So, yes, please report this to FightFactor. Provide them with the crash dump, that I extracted from the .rpt
file:
crash_report_07_25_2021_21_06_56.dmp.zip
You can point them to this issue thread and ask them:
XPLMCountAircraft
can return numbers larger than 20 since XP11.50b8.I sent the info to FightFactor.
But what tool did you use to extract the dmp file from the rpt?
Notepad++ and certutil.
The .rpt
file is just a text file with a JSON-like structure. Its node "dmp_file" is the dump file in Base64 encoding. So I remove all other text around the Base64 encoding, save it as a new .b64
file and have it decoded with a call to certutil -decode foo.b64 foo.dmp
.
They told me to update to newer beta version which fixes the crash and it works. But it's strange to recommend users to do so as there is a warning about possible bugs in beta.
Thank you for your help.
Describe the bug X-plane crashes when LiveTraffic installed and TCAS button is switched. It does not crash without LiveTraffic.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Start Airbus A320 Ultimate with engines running
Click on TCAS to ALL
Location KJFK any rwy
anytime
on runway
A Log.txt file with log level (Settings/Advanced) set to 'Debug'
new clean install with no changed livetraffic config
