ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue:
1.5.4.0 MyLibrary Install locks sim, if previous aircraft is updated.
Start Sim, goto MyLibrary, download/install aircraft. The plane used is the previous sim session has it’s sound file locked.
I am forced to kill the sim with Task Manager.
[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
Zero addons
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
Every time the aircraft previously used in free flight, is updated with a download/Install.
The Sim locks the sound file, even though no flight is chosen, which then cannot be deleted by the OS.
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
See description
- Start Sim
- Goto MyLibrary
- Install aircraft
The install stalls forever. I deleted the original plane folder, everything except the sound file can be deleted. The sim stalls, probably waiting for the file to be unlocked (closed) which never happens.
I am forced to kill the sim.
I’m a retired developer and I know the sound file is opened BEFORE a flight starts. The sim seems to load the previous plane during startup, presumably to render its image in the GUI.
Seb, I suggest you knock some heads together!
