[RESOLVED] Vpilot crashing P3D3 with the 737NGX

Post by driver170 »

Anyone having issues when connecting vpilot to payware acft that it crashes and you get an api.dll?

Sometimes if i load the NGX and once it loads into p3d during flight it crashes and other times it crashes when connecting vpilot

Which version of Windows are you using?

Look in the Windows Event viewer and see ifyour crash was logged and gives the Name of the module causing the crash.

I have Win7 also.

If you list the steps to create the crash I will do the steps here with PMDG737 and Vpilot.

What I got with Vpilot is that when loading the A2A P51 it breaks the propeller on air as soon as Vpilot is loaded. Even not connected to Vatsim. This only happens with this plane.. but also with default A36 it makes jump on grass when vpilot is loaded. Extrange.

"and click to load up the flight"

Could you detail this part a little more?

Its in that link! It was to do with fs2crew reboot. You need to select ATC ONLINE option to NO in the config options

Links tend to get corrupted ... you know, no longer available or the author deletes it ... or other problems.

A final solution post by the OP is always appreciated by those helping solve the OP's problem and future readers in the forum.

Also, it will make developers (A2A and PMDG e.g.) happy also to know their products are OK.
