Thanks for looking at the issue. I think I will park the long haul jets until this error is fixed by DTG. The last e-mail response I got from DTG assured me that this issue is being looked at as a high priority, so hopefully a new build will be released soon. Thanks Jamal

Below are my test results using version 4939e. I noticed in the logs a terrain.dll error was captured. However I got a crash at 5 hours and 32 minutes into the flight from another memory location with terrain.dll. The sim stops in the log are okay, it's just FS RealTime updating itself.

Hello Pete I will setup a long rang test flight today and post my results. Thanks for looking into this. Jamal

All of my terrain.dll errors are at that memory location. Typically 5 hours is my limit before the crash. I never had this problem in the classic version, but then again my boxed version was Deluxe and not the Gold Edition. The G3D.dll error is defiantly fixed. I have not seen that error again since the last version of FSUIPC was released. If you come up with any ideas, let me know and I will be happy to run my test scenario. I can reproduce this defect consistently regardless of the route I fly, as long as it is more than 5 hours. Thanks Jamal

I tried another test scenario. KDTW->SBGR, which is about a 10 hour flight using the SteamTerrainPatch=Yes fix, but looks like it does not catch the error like is done with the gd3.dll. My last flight crashed 5 hours and 28 minutes into the flight with terrain.dll error. It's unfortunate as it seems like this terrain.dll error will never be fixed. Still holding out for DTG to come up with something, but another week gone by and still no news.

Hello Pete I will add that to my .ini file and try my test scenario again. Thanks Jamal

Just out of curiosity, I decided to perform one more test. KDTW->SBGR, this is approx. 10 hour flight. Around the 5th hour I got this error as usual. Faulting application name: fsx.exe, version: 10.0.62608.0, time stamp: 0x54abe5b4 Faulting module name: terrain.dll, version: 10.0.62608.0, time stamp: 0x54abe5e1 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x00059be8 Faulting process id: 0xcb4 Faulting application start time: 0x01d053648e2b9558 Faulting application path: C:\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\fsx.exe Faulting module path: C:\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\terrain.dll Report Id: bfe04fd7-bf86-11e4-afb4-bc5ff4fcf0a1 Next I took a look at the FSUIPC logs and I did notice that several g3d.dll errors were captured, however I did not see anything being captured for terrain.dll This bug is very frustrating. I've had a few email exchanges with DTG in regards to this problem. They are aware of it and they have assured me that this is a high priority fix. They suggested running the steam verification on my FSX-SE installation. That was one of the first things that I did several weeks ago, but that doesn't fix anything. Is it possible to trap this terrain.dll error offset in FSUIPC? ********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.939 by Pete Dowson ********* Reading options from "C:\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\Modules\FSUIPC4.ini" Running inside FSX Steam Edition on Windows 7 Module base=617C0000 User Name="REDACTED" User Addr="REDACTED" FSUIPC4 Key is provided WIDEFS7 not user registered, or expired 0 System time = 28/02/2015 09:42:47 0 FLT path = "C:\Users\REDACTED\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files\" 31 Trying to connect to SimConnect Steam ... 62 FS path = "C:\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX\" 328 LogOptions=00000000 00000001 328 SIM1 Frictions access gained 328 Wind smoothing fix is fully installed 328 G3D.DLL fix attempt installed ok 328 SimConnect_Open succeeded: waiting to check version okay 328 Trying to use SimConnect Steam 2418 Running in "Microsoft Flight Simulator X", Version: 10.0.62608.0 (SimConnect: 10.0.62608.0) 2418 Initialising SimConnect data requests now 2418 FSUIPC Menu entry added 2449 FLIGHTS\OTHER\FLTSIM.FLT 2449 simobjects\airplanes\Aircreation_582SL\Aircreation_582SL.AIR 80060 simobjects\airplanes\PMDG 777-200LR\B777-200LR.AIR 168855 System time = 28/02/2015 09:45:36, Simulator time = 09:42:49 (17:42Z) 168855 Aircraft="PMDG 777-232LR Delta Air Lines" 172397 Weather Mode now = Theme 192131 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 23 secs = 45.0 fps 200992 Starting everything now ... 202458 ASN active function link set 202458 Ready for ASN WX radar 202489 Advanced Weather Interface Enabled 262113 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 64 secs = 31.8 fps 269850 C:\Users\jweston\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\Previous flight.FLT 1860327 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 1218 secs = 27.0 fps 2933786 *** G3D bad pointer trapped and crash prevented *** 2935923 *** G3D bad pointer trapped and crash prevented *** 3080567 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 1219 secs = 22.8 fps 4330135 *** G3D bad pointer trapped and crash prevented *** 5892641 *** G3D bad pointer trapped and crash prevented *** 6561527 *** G3D bad pointer trapped and crash prevented *** 6737652 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 3656 secs = 24.6 fps 11003827 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 4265 secs = 24.8 fps 14657838 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 3654 secs = 28.4 fps 18923030 Sim stopped: average frame rate for last 4264 secs = 26.8 fps

I have suffered from this issue also. Can you please provide the exact procedures you used to resolve the issue. I downloaded and installed FSUIPC4, Version 4.939 but I still have terrain.dll exactly at about the 5th hour in flight every time, regardless of where I'm flying to. Can you confirm in your FSUIPC logs that the terrain.dll error has been captured? Also Jordan thanks for the YouTube videos. Your videos are awesome! Keep up the good work.
