Hi Pete, No, for all my testing I have NOT had a weather program running, its been P3D default Fair Skies (i think). I've been busy with work, so haven't had time to try your other suggestion, but I will give it a shot in the next few days. Thanks again for your help. Peter

Hi Pete, thank you for the quick response. The only .wx file in my %userprofile%\documents\prepar3d v4 is "Previous Flight.wx" and deleting this doesn't change anything. There are other .wx files in the Program Files\Lockheed Martin\ folder that appear to be for scenarios or flight plans (eg PMDG), but I'm not loading any of these. I did try deleting all of these, but still had the CTD. Adding NoWeatherAtAll=Yes to FSUIPC5.ini does prevent the CTDs. I'm okay with this solution for now, but I would like to understand whats happening. When I did the re-installs of P3D, I did do a "clean" install, deleting any and all folders that P3d and the add-ons use, and all registry entries. I suppose its narrowed down to an issue with weather, but still odd that its only in certain areas. I use FSRealWX Pro for weather, but have not had it running at all for any of the CTDs. If you have any other suggestions to find the cause, that would be great, but I'm okay with this work around, at least I can use the ACARS program for my VA again. Thanks again for your help, and also for everything you've done for the FS community! Peter

Hello, I have been battling a curious issue now for over a month. I'm not 100% convinced it is specifically an issue with FSUIPC but thought I'd start here, as disabling FSUIPC prevents the CTD. Most of my flying is for a VA, so my add-ons are pretty much static and don't change other than installing updates. In March, I installed FSDT KLAX and immediately started having a CTD when loading a flight other than the P3D default scenario. (F-22 at Elgin). Thinking this was something to do with FSDT, I uninstalled KLAX, then CYVR as well, but still had the CTD. The CTD occurs after selecting an airport other than Elgin, and after the sim has loaded, within about 10 - 15 seconds. I can see the scenery and hear the aircraft sound as normal, then the sound quits, then P3D closes, no error dialogs or anything. Aircraft is default F-22, but the CTD occurs with any aircraft. I continued to uninstall add-ons but the CTD persisted. Finally, in frustration, I uninstalled P3d completely, and started over from scratch. I re-installed all my usual add-ons (as per the list below) and things were fine. A week later, I started getting the same CTD, however, I noticed that it only happens at airports in the North American West, ie, airports covered by ORBX regions. (CYEG, CYYC, CYLW, CYVR, KSEA, KBUR, KEUG, KPDX etc.) I uninstalled ORBX regions, CTD persisted. I uninstalled ORBX completely, still the CTD persisted. Finally, I reinstalled P3D from scratch again, but didn't reinstall any ORBX. Things were fine for a week, so I slowly added ORBX back, piece by piece. Everything was fine for another week, I did 15 or so successful flights mostly around western canada, but did 2 to Europe. Yesterday, the CTDs came back. Determined to find the cause I found a thread on Avsim regarding a similar issue, but described how to narrow down the crash. I followed the suggestions of backing up and deleting scenery.cfg, p3d.cfg, and the dll.xml files. Once all that was done, no more CTDs. Going through the dll.xml files, I found that removing the FSUIPC entry from the dll.xml file in the AppData folder stopped the CTDs. Uninstalling / reinstalling FSUIPC doesn't help. I feel likes there is perhaps a conflict with an addon, but it seems really strange that things are fine, then it just suddenly starts. My sim as it is now: Default prepar3d.cfg and scenery.cfg (so all add-on scenery is not a factor). Aircraft addons still installed, but all testing was done with default F-22. With FSUIPC in dll.xml: CTD occurs loading any Western North American airport as stated above. Airport anywhere else are fine (I tried 3 airports on each continent as well as several in central and eastern North America). Removing FSUIPC from dll.xml: No CTD, I can load any of the airports where the CTD occurred before.
