Hello all,

Installed X-Plane last week and the first few days I had no issues with the program whatsoever. Now, all of a sudden I get frequent 'XPLM_PLUGIN_XPLANE' crashes.

There is no real pattern with regards to these XPLM_PLUGIN_XPLANE crashes. Sometimes I can fly for hours without any issues and sometimes the program crashes after ten minutes. The program and my Mac are both up-to-date (I double checked).

I don't have any add-ons installed, so it has to be a fault within X-Plane itself (I figure?). Could it be hardware related?

Any ideas or suggestions? Latest crash log attached.

Hi

I am experiencing the same. No problems for days and suddenly XPLM crashes randomly.

Any clues? The simulator has turned so unstable I am not using it anymore. XP 11.05.

Hi, could it be related with the fact that your username is more than 8 caracters?

Hi,

You think so? I can try and change it, but is a long user name known to cause crashes?

Thanks for your reply!

I don't know. I've seen cases when it can be a problem, but not with X-plane though.

It is just an idea I had because your log.txt file contains error reports mentioning a path containing your long username. I hope it is not too complicated to change it.

I'm going to give it a try! I actually created a new user account on my computer (with a shorter username) and did a complete new install of X-Plane on this new user account.

Let's see if it works. Thanks for the suggestion!
