Air Manager crashing

[jasong]

Hi I have AM constantly crashing and I'm trying to figure it out. It's a new install on a fresh OS install. I've noticed some entries in the log which occur constantly until crash. Any ideas what this refers to?
2023-03-09 14:20:28.478 ERROR SiRunner - Generic - Garmin G5: lib/pfd.lua Argument 'id(1)' in function 'txt_set' is not a valid reference, which is not allowed

Hi @jasong, are you using AM 3.7.10 or AM 4.1.6 ?

[Ralph]

There was a bug in the script. But I am also curious which version of Air Manager you are using...

[jasong]

Hi Ralph it’s the later AM 4 version. I do also have the latest plugins installed on the sim pc, I use AM from my laptop.

I can’t rule out that the entry I’m seeing in the log file is the cause of why AM is crashing. But I’d like to clear that out of the way first.
On my old laptop and PC I think AM only locked up a couple of times in years very stable. So this is just weird on a fresh install to have it constantly crash back to desktop.
Thanks for the fast reply.

If you're running a recent version then it should not write these messages to the log.txt

Hi,
Yes it does. When Corjan changed the error handling in the console that is when these error msg started. There were no divide by 0 errors and attempt to index a nil value
This is current after AM 4.0 if I rem correct.

Previous AM versions were not so strict. You can look up some threads that refer to this by using the search function. I just joke, but there were a few regarding loading tables and static data. The issue there was failure to check for nil value in var's

I reported these errors in the AM4.2 beta issues thread. In case you missed it.
