Oh. it was my iMac that had the stability issue. Have yet to see x-plane crash (due to other reasons than stupidity/currupt files) on my MBP. at least after a few hours of testing yesterday...tngarner wrote:So I have been using PilotEdge for a few months with no issues. Have not been able to get online for a couple of weeks. Tonight X-Plane kept crashing after a few minuets of being connected. I really did not want to blame the PilotEdge plug in since it has not changed. But X-Plane is stable as long as I do not connect to the PilotEdge network.
Did you do anything to make your MBP start working?

Re: x-plane crash
May (probably) found the issue. Not sure Yosemite was 100% upgraded since my MBP would not reboot and required me to CMD-R and reinstall it last night.
This morning prior to the PilotEdge controllers coming on I flew some to from non towered fields and all seemed fine. Will test more this afternoon once I can get some time and the controllers are online.

Re: x-plane crash
I was also experiencing X-Plane crashes when using PilotEdge immediately after the Yosemite upgrade. I could connect, talk to the controllers, but the sim would crash randomly after a few minutes. My crash was right to the desktop with no Crash line in the bottom of the log file.
Going on a whim, I removed the PilotEdge plugin from my Resources/Plugins folder, downloaded a new copy, and reinstalled. I also had to reconfigure my settings. Once that was done, everything seemed to work normally. I did a flight today, which was just under an hour with no problems. I also landed at KPSP which was the airport that I was at when my Sim was crashing before.
As a note: I had a very similar issue with the PilotEdge plugin after I upgraded to the final release of X-Plane 10.30. I was running the Beta copies with no issues but after upgrading to the 10.30 r1, the PilotEdge client seemed to be causing sim crashes until I reinstalled it.
If you're having issues try reinstalling the plugin. I also noticed that the default recording device in Yosemite gets reset when you upgrade. You will have to ensure it is set correctly in the OS for the PilotEdge plugin to use the correct mic.

Re: x-plane crash
Did both reinstalled Yosemite and PilotEdge and just did about 30 min on the network and seemed to work well. Hoping that is the end of that. Going to go for the I-2 rating "again" this evening. Computer crashed as I intercepted the localizer twice now ARRRG.....

Re: x-plane crash
The 512Mb graphics card just about gets there with X-Plane 10.30, provided that you do not use complicated planes, and do not have the photo scenery, nor too high a resolution set. Really, with all the newer planes, etc. coming out, a 2Gb card is the way to go, but you can't easily retrofit one to a 2011 iMac....
I can't see why the PE plugin would affect the issue, but I don't know how much RAM you have in the iMac. The more "stuff" you are slinging at the processor, and with things being swopped out of RAM if you don't have much, a crash sooner or later is possible I think. Also, are you running anything else on the iMac at the same time? I know that OS X does not work like Windows when multi-tasking, and I'm not a computer expert, but look at your menu bar at all the stuff that you may have loaded at startup, and look at activity monitor as well. Just a thought.

Re: x-plane crash
I am quite aware of this stuff. Thus i de-rated the x-plane settings in order to get a reasonable stable platform, at it did run quite good until i started up pilot edge.flyingdrill wrote:The 512Mb graphics card just about gets there with X-Plane 10.30, provided that you do not use complicated planes, and do not have the photo scenery, nor too high a resolution set.

even turning down all settings, and as stated: no custom scenery, did result in a crash, even though the system runs at ~50fps.The iMac has 12GB ram, so that should not be an issue.
The only issue i had with my 1gb VRAM MBP is unstable network connection due to it beeing shared with 30 people. When the network load is low, the system runs smooth. But i did get a couple of x-plane crashens when the network connetion timed out during peek hours. The MPB x-plane also seems to be more stable after upgrading x-plane to the latest 10.31b (hmmm)

Re: x-plane crash
I, too , have been experiencing repeated crashes to desktop using X-Plane and PilotEdge on Mac, this since upgrading to OS 10.10 Yosemite. I'm having trouble tracking down the issue because I "upgraded" to both the latest version of X-Plane and OS 10 at the same time.
Strange behaviour: the usual X-Plane crash log is not generated in these crashes; there is a momentary freeze, X-Plane crashes to desktop, and the standard Apple crash prompt appears. Hmmm. PilotEdge seems to be the wrench in the works, as far as I can tell. When I remove it, I get no crashes.
Advice?! Admonishments?!
(I've attached the Apple crash report.)

So this is what was happening to me. After getting Yosemite stable, I deleted the PilotEdge plugin, downloaded a new copy for the web site, copied the files and have not had a crash since. Agree it does not make since but I have seen two others that had the same results with these steps. Worth a shot i would think.

Re: x-plane crash
I had read your post above and done the same (minus reinstalling Yosemite because it is working just fine for me), alas to no effect.
Aargh.
[Edit] However, I've just noticed that the three library files* from the previous version of the PE plug-in were still in my X-Plane root directory. Could this possibly have been causing a problem?!
* called libfmodex.dylib, libptypes.dylib.21, libts3client_mac.dylib
Aargh.

Re: x-plane crash
Update:
Dammit! Just enjoyed a perfect flight from KLGB to KSBA with flight following. Upon disconnecting from the PE network, X-Plane crashed to desktop, again issuing the Apple crash report (attached), but not the X-Plane crash log.
Argh.
