Issues with Turkeys

I sure hope a fix arrives soon for the turkey as its been rusting away in my hangar since i purchased it. Kinda frustrating to have this problem with a payware aircraft and i know this is happening to more than just a few guys.CTD every time i try and load it up in the sim no matter how i set up the flights. At least the proceeds of the sale go towards the museum
 
Gentlemen,

Just got the Turkey SP1 pack from Fred to try out and i'm happy to tell you that she's gobbling away again like ever before ! :jump:

Like you i couldn't load the Turkey into FS9 anymore neither all of a sudden, never seen a problem like this before ! :isadizzy:

I have no clue what has actually been the cause of this remarkable problem, i'll ask Fred and report back.

In any case, i'll see that the SP1 pack gets uploaded here asap. In addition to the FS crash solution a nicer looking external canopy glass will also be included.

@ Warhorse e.a.: thanks very much for helping to locate the problem ! :ernae:

Cheers,
Jan

Why ??......

Can't be the current FS crash problem cause AFAIK it only turned up in the last week(s) or so....

I'm thinking that MS sent us all one of their beloved automatic updates that caused a conflict, but it's pure conjecture on my half. I just can't figure out what else could have happened except for the fsuipc thing but I learned here from WH that the turkey doesn't utilize that so what else? As long as a fix is coming all is well :jump:

Fred provided me with an explaination, but it was beyond my expertise. We both concluded it might have been a memory conflict, but not sure what brought it on. Possibly an XP update changed the way memory was used by the gauge itself, and in my case, it might have conflicted with FSUIPC or something it left in memory.

Interesting enought, I seem to be the only one who got get a 'Fatal Error' report vs. a CTD with no error message. I took the usual path of seeing what was on the MAAM and FSUIPC forums, but didn't see any conclusive results so I contacted Fred directly and later provided him with the first page of the error message. He was able to determine a solution from there and modified the MAAM_TBM.gau.

@ Warhorse e.a.: thanks very much for helping to locate the problem ! :ernae:

Thanks, Jan. You're most welcome. I'm glad everything worked out. I do have to admit that after several hours of testing I had to take a break and watch my DVD of the Roaring Glory Warbirds TBM AVenger with Steve Hinton. :icon_lol:

Many of us had problems with Turkey back in June 08 as well. Specifically, when trying to change Turkey models or paints, or from switching to other a/c. The gauge was reworked and the patch, along with some panel.cfg tweaks, solved the problem back then. You didn't mention if you applied the 1st patch or not. If you did, then it might be something else going on.

Anyways, when the new SP is available, let us know if it solves the CTD for you.

I hope the SP1 pack comes soon! I am hurting for some Turkey, I miss flying the old bird. Thanks guys for figureing it out and again cannot wait to buzz some airfields with this Big Bird!
 
It works for me!!! Atlast some turkey and just in time for thanksgiving. Thanks to everyone that helped get this to us.Time for a flight off of midway in search of the carriers.
Lou maybe try downloading the file again?
 
Ah! Too late for me to bring you the good news i see... Hehe

Well done WH ! :mixedsmi:

Gents, please do remember this is only a beta. We'd love any feedback you can give us.

Thanks Nathan, Cees, and Westjet, glad to know it works for you ( you could've come to our forum back then so we could've helped you finding a solution... )

Lou, did you get to open the file after redownload ? ..

cheers,
Jan
 
Hi Jan,

I think a bad download got caught in my memory. No matter how many times I downloaded the file, my zip program was telling me it was a bad file. I don't use winzip and am work right now and can't remember the name of the zip program. I'll try again tonight and if I still can't open it, will try with winrar. I believe that winrar will open zip files. That way I can rule out the zip program as causing the problem. Computers...... geez. At least others are confirming the fix so I can't wait to get her running again.

Hey Jan, thank you for all your work and thanks WH. I did post something on the MAAM-SIM support forum and I was frantic trying to find what update did this LOL. I am NathanT24 over on the avsim forum.
