Any custom airport crashes whole X-Plane during start-up

[OakLD]

Hello,

I'm new to testing this plugin. I followed the instructions and first time I ran the plugin and X-Plane crashed when loading plugins, specifically when AT&T tried to fetch LKTB airport:

So I removed custom LKTB and fired X-Plane again and it crashed on another airport - KCNY:

AT&C [+        13] LSCNRY|will load airports from [/home/libor/XPlane/X-Plane 11/Custom Scenery/KCNY - Canyonlands Field Airport//Earth nav data/apt.dat]

I removed that as well, but it did crash for 3rd time with another airport - KFNL:

AT&C [+        13] LWORLD|--- begin load airports ---
AT&C [+        13] LSCNRY|scenery_packs.ini file path [/home/libor/XPlane/X-Plane 11/Custom Scenery/scenery_packs.ini]
AT&C [+        13] LSCNRY|will load airports from [/home/libor/XPlane/X-Plane 11/Custom Scenery/KFNL - Fort Collins Loveland Municipal//Earth nav data/apt.dat]

I could continue, but I sense some common trouble with loading any custom airport.

I did look into issues and didn't find this one, so hopefully I'm not duplicating anything.

Thanks for the bug report!
Oh, you're running Linux, that explains it.
There is a bug that prevents the plugin from loading on Linux.
The bug wasn't reported in the Issues, but I've filed it now - #260.
So let's track #260, and I'm marking this one as a duplicate.

@OakLD
Please try build 107 here: https://github.com/felix-b/atc/releases
Please let me know if it resolved your issue

[OakLD]

Great! I will asap and report later Today.

Experiments on 5.9.13 4 55.45 and 11.50 no Vulkan. vsn 107
Most airports crashed on start with

AT&C [+ 61398] initUserFlight:7
AT&C [+ 61398] PLUGIN|transitioned to state[SCHEDULES-STARTED]
AT&C [+ 62018] UPILOT|User aircraft COM1 frequency change detected [-1]->[118625]
AT&C [+ 62018] AIRCRF|TUNE WARNING: aircraft[1] flight[United 737] tuned COM1 to khz[118625] - but no ATC on frequency
--=={This application has crashed because of the plugin: Air Traffic & Control}==--_

Tested were EGKK (Gatwick) EGGW (Luton) KMIA (Miami) KSEA (Seattle). Crashing took place almost immediately after the loading screen went and was replaced by the main display. (I presume AT&C+ is your debug log ?) No other obvious log issues - it looks like it's getting started up etc.

However, two worked repeatedly (i.e. would load the plugin and not crash)

EGSH (Norwich, UK) started up normally and responded to the 'set the % rate' and so on. To all intents and purposes it works except it doesn't - can't tune in to anything, no planes appearing.

EGSV (Old Buckenham UK) which is a very small airport near where I live also worked, but when I tried to start it it advised KMIA KSEA (and others) which reminded me that those had only been advised for use. However, I subsequently tested them and it still did not work.

Would imply it is connected somehow with Airport Complexity. EGSH & EGSV both have multiple runways - EGSH is a small but functional passenger airport.

The Plugin appears to be communicating ; these come from the LOG (KMIA)

No obvious issues in the Log re AT&C other than the "TUNE WARNING". This also appears at EGSH and is folloed by

Could the complexity of the airport cause the Window Menu to be modified before it is created (as it's waiting for the airport ?)

[OakLD]

I've tested the new release and it loads with no issues, the log seems all right too. When loaded, AT&C showed in the plugins list with first level options, but I couldn't do anything. It wouldn't change frequencies to CLRDEL/GND/TWR. The AirControl menu shown arrow like it should contain further sub menu, but contains no items.
I couldn't hear anything either, but that might be because I don't know yet how to configure AT&T on linux with TTS.

I assume that properly loaded AT&C should have it's log section finished with:

AT&C [+      9421] World initialized
AT&C [+      9421] LWORLD|Assembled world with [29434] airports, [0] airspaces, [29434] control facilities

The only part which brings some questions is:

[togfoxy]

you say 'No Vulcan'?

Can you try on xplane 11.50 with Vulcan? Just curious.

[paulscottrobson]

Yes, probably :) Never actually tried it as don't need it. Also to add, I do have Swift (VATSIM connector) installed normally, removed that plugin completely in case there was a fight over who was displaying aircraft but no difference.

[paulscottrobson]

Vulkan makes no difference ; gets to displaying the airport you have selected, crashes, about a second later program stops.

I presume there is some kind of plugin initialise at this point (Swift announces this ; removing swift does not change the behaviour of the plugin)
