CTD in P3D v4.2 when it rains or snows

[Kayla Dillon]

So apparently this workaround is not a workaround. If the rain changes in intensity the sim still had a CTD. Why cannot a hot fix be released? This is a bloody show stopper.

Hello,

Have you tried to change the precipitation intensity from the start up screen?

What I'm referring to is if the precipitation changes in intensity while the sim is running, the CTD will occurr regardless of if detailed precipitation is checked or not. The workaround you mentioned is only a workaround for getting the sim to start with precipitation.

Hello,

Could you try using Scenario->Edit to change the precipitation intensity?

I also have this same problem when using Active Sky for P3DV4. Detailed Precipitation is checked.

Kayla, if I am using Active Sky, am I able to make the menu change you suggest?

Just gave this a try when using Active Sky...the Scenery->Edit changes (changing the weather) will not occur when using Active Sky.

I'm not sure you wanted it tested in this way, but I can say that when I use Active Sky and the precipitation changes via Active Sky, I either get a CTD or P3DV4 stops.

If Active Sky has GOOD weather (no precip), no problems. Or, if I always choose fair weather from the Scenery tool (and do not use Active Sky), again no problems.

I also hope the fix comes soon...

How about v4.3? is it fixed now?
There is nothing about it in the change log.
