Huge Breakthrough in Out of Memory CTD (I Hope!!!)

[psolk]

Hello Captains,
I hope all is well with everyone.
A little bit of time has passed and I have done a number of long haul flights in real time since my last post. I have done each of the following
flights (KEWR-EGCC,(UK2000) KEWR-EGLL (UK2000) KEWR-LIRF (Cloud9 Rome) and KEWR-LLBG (Freeware Israel scenery) at least twice as round trips with no
reboots in between the segments and have been unable to replicate the error that was 100% consistent in the past. Before anyone asks I have not
reverted the files to reproduce the crash as I am just having so much fun flying again to be honest...

This unconfirmed fix is only for one very specific CTD. It is not going to fix every CTD in FS BUT it is more specifically CTD on Final after a long
haul or a CTD right after touchdown specifically with any of the add-on heavies.
If you are experiencing these issues, there are detailed instructions on the steps I took and the procedures to follow in order to test this for
yourself at the bottom of the thread.

Again, this is only for the CTD at the end of a long haul or right after touchdown when approaching specific airports. If you get a CTD upon startup,
a CTD mid-flight, a hardware blue screen or lock up then this will not help you, I just want to make that as clear as possible so people do not waste
their time. If you have one of these other issues then please read the entire thread above for some other software fixes...
The following process assumes knowledge of the tool Afcad by Lee Swordy. Please backup all files prior to modification.

1. Obtain a good text-editor (Personally I like Text-Pad (google it) but Wordpad and Notepad will work as well)
2. Obtain Afcad 2.2 by Lee Swordy
3. Determine the appropriate location of the Navdata
PMDG (Root FS9\FMCWP\NavData)
LVL-D (Root FS9\Level-D Simulations\Navdata) same procedures
as PMDG
PSS (Root FS9\PSS\navdata) Different procedures see PSS site
for instructions
4. Open Afcad and search for the ICAO in question For this example use KEWR.
5. If you just have one file that says Stock, note the name and move to step 6.
If you have two files, one that says Stock and one that says Mod, ensure that the names match and note the name
and move to step 6
If you have more than two Afcad files, one that says Stock and multiple files that say Mod, search the forums for posts about duplicate Afcads.
6. Note the airport name from step 5
7. For PMDG and LVL-D, Locate the File wpNavAPT.txt
8. Search for the ICAO code in question. For this example KEWR
Either do a ctrl-F or edit/find and type KEWR
Note the Afcad name should be Newark Intl to match the Stock file.
9. Delete the word Liberty from the .txt file one character at a time with either Backspace or Delete. Do not highlight and delete the entire word.
10. Now, go the the end of the word Intl and hit the space bar until your columns line up again. If you count from the beginning of the line to the
ICAO code the letter K in KEWR should be in column 25.
11. Do ctrl-f again and locate each instance of KEWR and repeat.
12. Save the file

Test...

That should do it Captains, good luck to all and please let me know if this has helped. A few of you already have reported it worked for you but we
need confirmation to really look into it.
Thanks for all your time and thanks for reading,
-Paul
