Couatl crashes some time after takeoff
« on: June 13, 2023, 01:16:17 am »
My couatl crashes about 10 minutes after departure every flight I make, and I always have to restart when I arrive at the destination.
or else it'll just spin forever.
is there a known fix, thanks!

It would be helpful to have a log of your flight. It's likely caused by a problem with the Navdata API, either the API itself, or possibly issues with the data, so it would be useful to know:

- your route.

- if you have 3rd party Navdata installed.

It happens every flight, so I'm not sure the route is relevant.
But here is my latest route.
KSNA N0446F290 FINZZ3 MISEN RNDRZ2 KLAS
And I do have navigraph data installed from Navigraph HUB.

Then the first thing to try is disabling it, to verify if the problem is possibly caused by the data itself because, during a flight, GSX is not doing anything other than periodically querying the Simconnect Navdata API, to get a list of the nearby airports.

I have tried reverting back to normal navdata, and it still crashes just the same.

That doesn't mean the problem is GSX either, it might just means the bad data, which is causing issues when querying it with the Navdata API, is in the default database as well, or it's just a Simconnect bug that it's causing issues even regardless of the data.

Do you see any difference if you close the GSX Toolbar menu during flight ?

Well if the data causes crashes so easily, why not give us an option to disable this scanning while airborne, I for one, only open Gsx after I land.
How many people even use this feature?
Isn't there a file I can send you, where you can see the exact cause of the crash?
Because when I restart couatl after takeoff before it crashes, it stays up for the remainder of the flight, in fact this is the workaround I've been doing.
