Analog caravan & CTD

yep… @NiKoTin3420 summarized already that it seem somewhat with the mod analog caravan itself. Which part cause that, was not found, so far I understood.

well , it s not easy to say what really generate conflict, l don’t have all knowledge but it s appear to not be avionics conflict as l was previously supposing, weather radar neither, Devs sent me various files to discard hipothesis.

I ’ m still daily in touch with a dev, trying to find out the source of those conflict, sincerely hope we will find soon as i feel we are getting closer. (like I hope my case is the same problem, than the one you are experiencing)
from the moment this problem only affects a few users , and the devs are not able to reproduce it, it complicates the task.

I‘m repeating myself but: i had ctd‘s with it but since uninstalling tds gtnxi: not a single one…

Just to throw in my experience. Had lots of CTDs a month ago with the server troubles, in the analogue caravan and other planes as well. Been flying the caravan a lot the last few weeks with the GNS530 mod - no CTDs at all.

My experience: no more CTDs after I have uninstalled the Caravan. What a pitty.

I had a lot of CTD issues forthe last six weeks with the Caravan and 414. Now, I had a Windows problem that occured recently where it would nof update. MS tech rep suggestd a reinstall of Win 11 and since then, not a single CTD in the sim. My point is, that it might just be more OS than MSFS for some people. Radical maybe, but I have smiled since doing it.

Well after lot of tweaks and after trying all avionics, weather radar & state saving , and some other stuff it look like MSFS does not play well with the simulation variable “WINDSHIELD WIND VELOCITY” present in the flight model of the plane.
For those who want to go ahead, and apply right now the fix they did provide me :

This path can be found 3 times in the AnalogCaravan.xml model file ( usually located at aircraft\bksq-aircraft-analogcaravan\SimObjects\Airplanes\bksq-aircraft-analogcaravan\model)

line 362 , 380 and 2261

(I suggest using shortcut ctrl + F to find all occurences easier )

The fix is to replace WINDSHIELD WIND VELOCITY by " RELATIVE WIND VELOCITY BODY Z "

so you should have something like this after the editing :
" @TorqueBloomSpeed (A:RELATIVE WIND VELOCITY BODY Z, feet per second) 0.592484 "

This must fix CTD on approach or at some airport spawning that some users are encountering with the analog caravan.

In the hopes this gworks for most of you, just want to remind everyone, a patch will show up very soon from what Devs told me (before end of this week), so maybe it s not worth editing it.
If you are going to edit this xml I highly recommend to make a save before.
