Plan G always crashes after a minute or so

[Wireline]

Hi

About 6 months ago I installed Plan G and my computer seemed happy to have it on board. However I did not use it for a while due to other issues, and have installed the latest version from the download page. Unfortunately It crashes after a minute or so every time I open it.

INFO: I am on Windows 8.1, .NET 4.52, all 'optional' windows updates applied, running as admin, UIAutomationCore.dll is placed in the Plan G Folder and I have experimented with all overlays off, as well as trying compatibility modes. I have tried it connected to P3D and not connected. I built the database for P3D and also specified the scenery.cfg location. I have looked in event viewer and it looks like the faulting module is .NET Framework. Is Plan G designed to work with 8.1 and .NET 4.52 or am I out of luck? It looks like a phenomenal program.

Looks like it failed on trying to open something. Did you click on anything? Could you attach the Plan-G log? Thanks

Hi Tim

I took a couple for good measure, attached below (hopefully).

Cheers

Hmm. first one suggests you were somewhere in the menu system, second one doesn't.

All I can really suggest is making sure you haven't missed any .net updates - there's a track record of one update causing crashes and the next update fixing it.
