Got a weird deal going on...

From time to time after swapping aircraft to or from my aircraft folder, and being nowhere near the 100 plane limit, I will get one of these:
attachment.php


followed by one of these
attachment.php


But then, after clicking "ok" on both messages, I can still carry on- both with FF and QC.

Any ideas what may be going on?

Could it be a particular plane that causes it? I have added mass quantities of AC to my hangars over the past few weeks.

Thanks.

Chris,

This is probably ridiculous considering your experience...but your count includes skins, right?

Also, how many .dp files are in the objects_dp folder? And how many ships do you have?

No, doesn't sound ridiculous at all.

WRT number of "skins": all ac folders contain just one active skin. In other words I have broken-out, into their own individual AC folders, all of what had benn multi-skin/multi-AC, single-folder AC installs. When viewed in ACMAN each folder shows just a single AC.

WRT how many ships do you have: way less than are allowed, I think. I have no idea what the ship limit is since I have never encountered it- that I am aware of.

WRT how many .dp files in the object_dp folder: there are quite a few, I guess. I have no idea what too many would be. There are 1,817 objects to be exact.

The odd deal is that this issue in no way prohibits me from flying the sim. Its just a matter of closing a couple of pop-up messages and then back to normal.

Chris,

I've found that my limit for objects when I have close to or at 100 aircraft is 1,476, not including .cdp files, which don't count. If you're over this number, this could be the root of your issues. :dizzy:
 
Thats a good thought. But there is also this. If I were to swap out just some random number of AC the problem stops. It could be a matter of going from 16 AC (the stockers only) up to 25 AC. Or going from 40 AC to 60 AC. There doesn't seem to be a any rhyme or reason to it. At one point I thought I had it narrowed down to a particular AC causing the issue but I was wrong. I later loaded that AC back into the mix and everything was jake.

As you said :dizzy:

MR

PS When I take the CDP files out of the mix my dp file count goes down to 1,503. I will try removing a random 200 or so and see if the issue goes away.

Chris,

You could have somehow picked up a wonky filelist.dat file or .cdp file along the way. Those damn Gremlins at it again. Try wiping them out and letting them regenerate, then test the aircraft one at a time and see if you can spot the offender?
 
Well, I removed 75 dp files that I was sure I had never used and put them in a little "dormant" folder.

The pop-ups stopped!

I don't think I will be adding any new DPs anytime soon. After all of the AC installing I have been doing recently I can't imagine that there is a single weapons dp that I could possibly be missing and I'm pretty sure I have most infrastructure object dp installed that I will ever need.

CFS2 can be very persnickety at times.

Hehe, thanks Rami!

Yes, just for good measure I will purge all filelist.dat and cdp files.

MR

PS: Did so. The pop-ups are still gone and the sim loads up a lot quicker. Excellent!

Thanks again, Rami. Much appreciated.
