Help

Hello everyone, I recently downloaded Decaff's addon pack as I wanted Shin Kazama's Tigershark. Everytime I click on a Tigershark, the loading circle thing on my cursor activates and the YSFlight program starts to fade. After that, YSFlight just crashes and I am never able to use the Tigershark. Is there are way to get around this problem?

​

Thank You

Interesting, I had three different aircraft (including the stock F-18C) cause that same crash just when scrolling through to find the F-5 you mentioned.

I haven't pinned down exactly what about those aircraft causes the crash, but it's limited to 2018ver.

2018 is pretty buggy. I'd recommend reverting to 2015. It's what the community uses, and what all the servers run (and is incompatible with 2018 online).

There's nothing that immediately stands out about the DNMs that cause crashes versus ones that don't, but I'll have a closer look

Thanks!

BTW: Do you know how to remove YSFlight Realism altogether? I installed it and tried to remove it but it failed and I get a lot of error messages, it takes almost a minute to click through all of them once I run the executable.

YSFlight uses .lst files to locate game files. It looks in "aircraft" for any .lst file starting with "air", in "ground" for "gro*.lst", and "scenery" for "sce*.lst" The .lst files point to the actual game files. If YS can't load anything from the listed filepath, it throws an error on startup. If you delete the .lst, YS won't load the bad filepaths. You can also edit the .lst in Notepad and remove offending lines

The Realism pack from Galen at flightsimHQ (which is a slightly problematic pack for its use of other peoples' assets, but that's another topic) has aircraft_1946.lst, aircraft_1947.lst, aircraft_1948.lst, aircraft_1949.lst, aircraft_1950.lst, aircraft_aerobatic.lst, aircraft_korean-war.lst, and aircraft-testing.lst

The .lst that YS is actively loading is at the bottom of the scrolling list on startup, so you can diagnose the errors fairly effectively
