RE: Kosmos causes night time crashes

Since you've got Kosmos installed, use it to choose one of the MSTS default environments. Then try the route again at night.If it still crashes, then it's something to do with the route. Missing night textures, whatever.If that fixes it, though, then the problem is with a specific environment. Let us know which one it is. Also, try checking that environment in the "Advanced" section in Kosmos, under the "Maintenance" button. See if you get any results there.Jeff

RE: Kosmos causes night time crashes

Hey Jeff-I loaded one of the sky conductor skies into it and it worked at night. What I was doing was using a custom environment i created with the creation thing in kosmos. The route was checked, all ace files and everything are there. I did the check for missing textures in kosomos and was missing UKskylow so I copied skylow.ace and renamed it. It runs fine during the day with the env i made, but anytime between about 6pm and 8am will cause it to crash right before it would jump into the sim.Thanks

RE: Kosmos causes night time crashes

Sounds like the "Assemble Your Own Environment" process didn't work quite right. Interesting. I've never seen an environment crash the activity dependent on when the activity was set to start. Usually, it either crashes, or it works.Could you send me a copy of the environment file itself that you made ("your-environment-name.ENV"), and also a list (like a screen capture or something) of what's in ENVFILES and ENVFILES\TEXTURES for that route? I'd be very interested to help figure out what went wrong.Jeff
