you got two opportunities at the moment
- Turn of Bing Data which makes the sim look ugly
- Turn off scenery or better said the photo part of the scenery (.cgl files).
Well it’s weekend in France as well as in the US..
Really a great idea changeing things just before weekend.
maybe not a bad idea to make the world update at tuesday
PS: I am talking about ENAL, ENTO, Sydney, CYLW, ENNO, ESGG, ESMS, LOWI, OG20, East Frisian Islands, Paderborn (freeware), EDHK (freeware) EDDL, EDDH, 3U2, … and then I stopped trying.. Just to give anybody an idea what we are talking about… Such a shame on a free weekend. (Driving busses, so no home office for me…)
Renaming the files doesn’t take long, and you can then fly!
Must be a moment that somebody changed something with the push of a button? Roll it back please? But ok… I am renaming. 
It wasn’t intentional.
There are issues with the Bing data stream which occurred in the last day or so.
It supplies (obviously) the info for the Bing Data World Graphics, which in turn supplies Photogrammetry
Turning off" Bing Data World Graphics" stops the sim from trying to access that data, and shuts down “Photogrammetry”
Inside information?
Gotten from info from here, Aerosoft and a couple other forums in the last bit.
Iv’e been following it since posts started coming in here on it.
Are you renaming just the cgl file or the entire cgl folder?
Just the folder
Ok it’s been said before, but I will explain again
Some airports that are pay ware are unaffected as they use the bing data like KSAN, but KIAD has its own CGL file and is affected
So I checked the community folder and one store folder and ran a test at all my airports so in effect if your pay ware airport uses bing data and it’s about half of mine then they are unaffected
Plus some versions have been updated to include their own phot sat imagery, these have the CGL files in that particular add on
With mine half are working and half cause a CTD due to them having the CGL file
Worth checking out I have KSAN and KMIA and they are both fine , sorry if I’m rehashing old news but good to check, hope it helps
Hey, I know this thread is relatively old now. I’m going to try the solution. Do I have to do this every time before I want to fly from/to there? And, after deleting rolling cache, do I restart the sim and then turn rolling cache back on?
One more thing is that I never had this problem with EDDK until today. When I flew into EDDK today for the first time, then I had it. Otherwise, flying out of Cologne never caused a CTD.
Yes you are right, I tried a few takeoffs from EDDK, and there was always a CTD, nothing helps… Hope it ist not about Cologne carnival
I was just renaming the file. I have a script to do it for me:
Renaming the files doesn’t take long, and you can then fly!
This script will search your “OneStore” folder for any folder with a CGL file in it, excluding “fs-base-cgl”, and rename each “.cgl" file it finds to ".cgl.bak”, and prints out what it changed at the end. There is a pause that can be removed, but gives you the chance to see what its doing before you let it process the rest.
Run this at your own risk!
Script
$onestore = "D:\Flight Simulator\Official\OneStore" # Set your "OneStore" location here
Set-Location $onestore
$folders = get-childitem $onestore | Where-Object {$_.Name -notlike "fs-base-cgl" }
$cgls = Get-ChildItem $folders -Filter *.cgl -Recurse
foreach ($cgl in $cgls) {
$fullpath = $cgl.DirectoryName + "\" + $cgl.Name
Rename-Item $fullpath -NewName $cgl".bak"
Write-Host $fullpath".bak"
Read-Host "Paused..."
}
This will rename them back:
Script
$onestore = "D:\Flight Simulator\Official\OneStore" # Set your "OneStore" location here
Set-Location $onestore
$folders = get-childitem $onestore | Where-Object {$_.Name -notlike "fs-base-cgl" }
$cgls = Get-ChildItem $folders -Filter *.cgl.bak -Recurse
foreach ($cgl in $cgls) {
$fullpath = $cgl.DirectoryName + "\" + $cgl.Name
Rename-Item $fullpath -NewName $cgl.ToString().TrimEnd(".bak")
Write-Host $fullpath.ToString().TrimEnd(".bak")
Read-Host "Paused..."
}
just sorted it no worries. renamed the .cgl file. thanks anyway.
Just wondering… people are saying that issues occur with every update. Have I missed something? Was there an update? I didn’t see anything updated when I fired up MSFS yesterday. I thought the UK Scenery update was postponed? I’m sad that MSFS can break without anything on the client-side changing. That means it could break at any time, completely silently.
Are we assuming there was a back-end change to the scenery delivery which is crashing the client app? That sounds utterly mad to me on a premium software title from such a major publisher, which has 3rd party e-commerce/marketplace inside it. It means that back-end and front-end development is out of communication, just like customers are also out of communication. It 's’s a co mmm u n i i c a tito n brea ak doowon!!
I feel sad for people who do not frequent forums and who likely miss the workaround proposed here. I guess they’ll get here eventually once they do searches for the reason why their sim no longer works.
maybe you noticed in the past that Asobo rolls out some updated files before the regular update.
so one might think that this has happened also now.
Today i reinstalled JustSim EDDL, since then i have the CTD too. Also i bought JutSim EDDH today and got CTD at EDDH too. If turning off Bing Data (or uninstall the addon) gets rid of the CTD/Crash. So sad! Pls fix this Asobo!
Can’t be certain but the sim kept CTDing when trying to load a Dublin addon. Can’t remember now where I got it from, prob. Flightsim.to; was okay when I removed it. My set up has hardly ever gone CTD before but it happened 5 times, when I was trying to get from the World setup page to go flying.
Very odd as it loaded okay yesterday. I didn’t try any workarounds, just used the stock Dublin which is actually quite good anyway. May have a “play” later.
