Odd error meassage.

[bhk]

I've had an email from a bloke who is running the Harry Levy flight.
About twenty minutes into the flight the following message appears.......

"Runtime error, path to FS9 exe R6025 pure virtual function call"

Does anyone have any idea as to what might be causing this to appear?

Thanks,
Bruce

Bruce,

I've encountered that error a number of times throughout the mission. The first time, it appeared about 5 minutes or so after I passed Islay (EGPI) in the beginning - probably about 20 minutes into the initial flight, so sounds about right.

It's appeared several times thereafter, typically right after a configured stopping point, but not every time - very sporadic. I'm not sure what is causing it and got frustrated trying to figure it out, so now I just "save" the flight soon after taking off from a noted base and then every 15-30 minutes thereafter. Seems to work just fine - haven't seen it since I left Sicily.

If you find out what it is, I'd like to know - even though I'm 3/4 of way through the mission now. Which reminds me - I'm in the process of refueling at Khartoumn as we speak - gotta go . . .

Dan,
Interesting....and my curiosity is piqued.
I wonder what is causing it....I've never experienced this and, other than yourself and the other chap, no reports have come in.

Thanks for letting me know, Dan.

Bruce, here are a couple of sites that discuss the runtime error. One is from Microsoft and the other is from a forum that discusses AI with FS9 - apparently a conflict is the cause.

The frustrating part is that the FS9 error message appears in the typical 'error' box and if you click either the right hand upper corner 'X' or 'OK', the computer crashes to the desktop (CTD). As noted in the previous reply, I've been saving the flights, thus avoiding having to re-fly the same route again.

For the site below, you will need to copy the entire path into your address line as apparently the 'auto' function is character limited.

Hope this helps.

Aaah! So it looks as if it is AI-related.

Thanks, Dan. I'll have a wander to those two addresses.
