All,
So after experiencing several CTD's on P3Dv4.3 which approaching Maui from the east, I decided to start testing various temporary solutions to make flying to PHOG possible. First, I purchased the Hawaiian Airport 1 &2 along with Honolulu several months ago. I typically fly the PMDG 737, or 747 to the islands. I have also flown the QW 787, and Captainsim 757. On all the flights, at approximately 20 Miles from the airport, on the HAIKU ONE arrival, usually transitioning through 17,000 feet (sometimes upwards of 17,400) I will get a CTD. During this I am running UTLIVE as a traffic program. So I decided to run several tests, keep in mind I have no other Hawaiian scenery except FSDT ones:
1st: QW 787, 20 miles out CTD 16,800Ft
2nd: PMDG 737-900, 21 miles out, 17,290 ft CTD
3rd: PMDG 747-400, 20 miles out, 17,000 ft, CTD
4th: Captainsim 757, 20 miles out, 16,900 ft, CTD
So, I changed couple things around, and when I ran UTLIVE (AI program), or disable UTLIVE and run the default AI, I would get a CTD. Now when I disable UTLIVE (Shift /F11F12), and all other traffic, then I get no CTD's and im able to make a full flight into PHOG. One solutiuon that I have found is to disable all traffic you have at approx 30 miles from shore. After you reach the west side of the island (HARPO way point) turn them all back on and you will be able to land at PHOG without a CTD.
So obviously there is an issue with the AFCAD/ADE for PHOG, when it interacts with third party AI traffic programs, and default traffic. For the record I have tried numerous traffic programs, free and paid, which all result in a CTD when approaching the island from the east. The weird thing is that when approaching the island from Honolulu or from the west, there is no CTD.
So just some observations from couple months of testing. Would like to see someone rebuild the AFCAD, to see if that results in a different result. Love the scenaries! FSDT is the best out there!
