Hi,
Here's a handy hint. This might need to go in documentation.
If you are going to replace the standard "ground" music you play to you pax when taxiing, a bad file name can cause FSX to crash to
desktop.
I had this problem when I converted some MP3s to wav and replaced the standard music as it says you can in the readme in the sound
folder.
I solved the problem by removing all the punctuation (hyphens, dashes etc) and numbers from the filenames. I also shortened the name
of the file to a simple one word filename. For instance one the source MP3s I used was the Shamen's "Move any Mountain". The original
filename was some thing like "03 - Shamen - Move any mountain.wav" I changed this to just "mountain.wav", and the problem went away.
Hope this helps.
Alistair
