I was flying online on VATSIM today, and then suddenly FS crashes out of nothing. The black screen comes up and asks me if i want to send a error notification to MS or somenthing (left-upper square) and says that there was an error on df727nj4.gau thing. The other shot is of the ACARS after FS crashed.
Anyone knows what's wrong?

I actually have the No-CD patch, but I'd never had any problems with it. I'm thiking it might be more like a Dreamfleet problem. I have to do some more test flights to see what's going on. Thanks for the suggestiong though.

It's clearly a DreamFleet problem - the offending module is df727nj4.gau.
Cheers!

You were right Luke. I made some research on this on the net, found it has to do with a problem between tcas and SB3. Luckily, nothing to do with acars

The Dreamfleet 727 TCAS gauge is notoriously finicky about working online. There's a longstanding bug where if you connect to SB3 *before* you apply electrical power to the bus (thus turning the gauge on), it'll crash you to desktop every single time. If you power the bus up and then connect SB3, it works great. DF refuses to fix it, they do not intend to support that gauge working online.
One possible fix (that I used) is to go to the DF 727 support forum and look for a sticky post up top that gives you instructions on how to add Lee Hetherington's excellent freeware TCAS/IVSI gauge in place of the Dreamfleet default. That gauge works online and also adds a transponder that integrates with SB3 so you can get rid of the SB3 transponder window.

I wasnt saying that was the cause of your ACARS or dreamfleet problem.but you said quote.........the error msg says i have FS 9.0, but i have 9.1 installed............the nocd patch is the reason for this..............theres another nocd patch released after the fspatch i forget where i seen it though.but with that one you have right now your running version 9.0.check me out in the patch readme.have fun.
