Location issues with QC

mongoose

SOH-CM-2025
Every time I try and change the Location in QC, CFS3 CTDs. What files should I be looking at to rectify this or replace from another install?
 
Just a guess, a mismatch between the global layer.csv and the qclocations.xml? You can have more airbases in the csv file than in the qclocations file, but if you have airbases in the qclocations file that are not in the csv, then you will have trouble.
 
I'll check but this seems to be a new issue from nowhere. However I did regroup the qclocation airfields into new groupings, so you may have something.
 
Well, I have a very similar install which does not have these issues. I switched in the qclocation file and the gsl files; no good. I then switched in the facility files; same result. I redid the appdata folder completely; same!:banghead::banghead:

What other files might be relevant?
 
Another thought, what if you have some duplicate entries in the qclocations.xml? It's a painstaking job troubleshooting something like this.
 
Well I had changed out the qclocations and gsl from a similar install without results as I said. What I did in the end is take everything out from that install and put in everything from a very similar install. I then copied folder by folder from the old install; leaving or overwriting depending on size or date, and then testing if OK after each new folder. This only applied to aspects/folders which I knew were different and needed for missions to work.

End result; so far so good!:wiggle::dizzy:
 
Hi James, the other thing I forgot to mention is that when choosing an airbase in QC, you need to have a corresponding entry for the airbase in the cutscenes.xml file. I am so used to using the generic version (most of my flying/testing is done in Modified V2.1) that I forgot more advanced addons have a long list of individually-named airbases.
 
Well, now I have this issue with two nearly identical installs ,and yet in a larger but similar install, it appears that I don't even have a cutscenes.xml file in it, and yet no issues!:dizzy::banghead::pop4:

Another issue is that the former 2 install CTD on some long mission WPs, but the same mission in the latter have no issue. I really don't want to rebuild an install from the beginning....
 
So, since I always like to inform people what was the issue; in this case it was three weather xml files!:banghead: I discovered this after painstakingly adding folders and files to a relatively similar basic install from the troubled ones, and checking after every few folders added. Of course the weather folder is the last!!!:wiggle:

they were
cloudcumuluscongestus_Cas.xml
cloudcumuluscongestusdk.xml
eto_ground_fog2.xml

I'm not from where I got them even. The congestus files are really congested too! Any info is welcome!

for example
cloudcumuluscongestus_Cas.xml
