Updated Traffic Controller to 0.4.1.0. The program gets stuck in "Load airports". I use P3D v5.2.
/Thomas
Sweden
Same is happening to me except my entire computer freezes after a few minutes of it being stuck there. P3D v4.5
same issue for me, I have started and wait half an hour
Are you running it as admin?
https://www.alpha-india.net/forums/index.php?topic=36849.0
And BTW.
Remember to post the log files. If there is a problem it's great to have those so Kai can see what might be wrong.
I gave the admin rights. version of 0.3 was working normal today.
only changes are update of tc and update of some flights plans
I'm also running as admin. Log files attached
1) remove any .bin file from: <AIGTC>\Resources\TC
2) Start AIGTC without starting P3D
3) Let the cache recreate
Before I saw your post I tried a clean install which didn't include that folder and started it without P3D and it did the same thing. However I realized that it didn't actually freeze my PC completely, it just slowed everything down to the extent that you couldn't do anything but every few minutes something would move on the screen and the HDD activity light remained illuminated. After about 30 minutes it finished and and seems to be working fine now, but the initial load will likely still be a problem for other users
I have closed P3D, deleted .bin file from <AIGTC>\Resources, started AIGTC as adm. Same loop.

Try the new EXE and remove before the invalid XML
same outcome again, the app is going to background process. ram usage still continue %95 or more and nothing happened
I remove TC files and xml, run program admin rights
just for info, even with the latest exe from the post above it's still very slow on my end.
almost 6 minutes to launch TC, all works fine for me, but just super slow (sometimes it was even slower than that and i ended up killing the process like the gentlemen posting issues with the loading since v0.4), i think the previous version launched almost instantly.
is it really necessary to check all the p3d scenery at every start of TC ? For people barely changing their scenery files it's a bit sad to have to wait every single time for all those checks.
in the log more than 5 minutes between these 2 lines
Check scenery files
Load AIGFP Data
Would it be possible to add an option where we could disable that checking on every start (and then just launch the checking manually if we want via a button if we make scenery changes or want to refresh the scenery data) ? I think it would be a lot less penalizing. Well obviously if that internal checking is mandatory at every start then the option would not be possible. You know like in little nav map, there is an option to rebuild the data from the scenery but that's done 'on demand' and not everytime we launch the tool (just on the first launch it's automatic).
Anyway just an idea, we for sure appreciate your immense work on this through the years ::cheers::
I had been wait more than 1 hour, Are there any way to return back old version until problem reach a solution
if the cache is done the process should just take a few seconds.
AIGTC will only read bgl files that have changed after the last time the cache was created. Can you run the tool multiple times and check if the loading times is different and if the cache is always recreated
TC takes long time and an incredible amount of RAM scanning ALL *.bgl files in the scenery library.
it takes veeeery long scanning large MESH or photo-Scenery files - RAM usage going way up (for me to a max >12GB)
doesn't look that bad (RAM wise) on second start (from P3D add-ons.cfg) - but still takes very long
btw: GREAT SUPPORT!! ::party::

App stuck again I will check when able
I Have 16 gb vram
@dubster231
AIGTC is not using any VRAM it uses the actual RAM and when you have already 99%RAM usage when TC only uses 531MB, then there is something off..
@everyone:
I am currently checking out some alternative way to read/write the cache files. The "old" way resulted in ca. 30-60sec. locading time of AIGTC on my end, so I actual have no clue why it takes so long on your ends ???
ok we are getting closer:

sorry for that Kaiii3 how can I check it, could you explain ???
open <AIGTC>\Resources\TC there are some bin files how big are they (make sure to use the latest EXE I have uploaded here)
there is no file inside <AIGTC>\Resources\TC
just empty ::goofy::

I have download exe files which your post above
now I am triying again
new EXE to try with improved performance and security upgrades ;D
well even with the last EXE my loading time is super long (launched the tool almost 30 times today for testing purposes, at 6-7 minutes each that's like 3hours of watching the loading screen, i found the loading screen screenshot beautiful at first but now i just hate it hahah :D :D :D :D :D :D :D)
if this can help :
- if i launch TC in p3dv5 mode, the loading is quick if the cache files exists
- if i launch TC in p3dv4 mode it takes ages everytime, the log is filled with 'new airports' entries, not sure, maybe it just rescan everything every time.
not even sure if it's the same issue as other posters because for me it works, it's just super super slow, for other it seems it doesn't launch at all unfortunately. ::cheers::
@koala:
1) Remove the Addon from the P3Dv4 Addon directory in documents
2) Run the last EXE for v4
3) Check in the Addon.xml if it is v4
4) Restart for v4 and check loading times
yes it was already v4 in the addon-xml but i don't even use that because, since i do tests, i launch TC manually so i select the version directly from the little combo at the start. Don't want to restart p3d to autostart TC everytime because that would be even more looooong ;)
ok, then it should work now with the above attached EXE. If not plese upload the logs after the second startup. Between both startups check if both bin files are created
nothing change Kaiii3 :'( I did all of your instructions
I dont know why but when I start program ram using increasing gradually after reaching 99 percent, physical memory are decreasing again gradually to almost zero but virtual memory ram and ram display showing 99 percent, and then pc is going to freeze.
I uploaded pics
Just to give you a bit more data, using the original files for the new update it took 3.5 minutes to load and is using 936mb of RAM after I was able to get it to generate the bin files. My bin files are 3mb for the airport one and 8mb for the scenery one. Also my addon.xml was generated properly for P3Dv4 after disabling the old one to be able to do a flight yesterday
Since we're discussing loading times I think I should mention that P3D and my AIG programs are on a SATA SSD and the OCI files are on a HDD
@dubster
can you check if there are more filter in the directory after these two files:
New File: O:\Prepar3D v4 Addons\Addon Scenery\ASIA\Philippines\[RPLL] Manila, Ninoy Aquino Intl [P3Dv4]\scenery\RPLL_ADEX_GM_CVX.bgl

I will inform you, for your information old version of TC is working correctly without error. I tested it. it is opening in 2 min
Hello,
I too am having the same issue and have read through the post. (I'm running on a i7-8700k @ 4.75Ghz - 16GB Corsair Memory - m2 SSD's - Red Devil 6900 XT)
Originally, Traffic Controller wanted me to update. After closing P3D and downloading the file. I just overwrote everything from the downloaded zip to the original working folder. But that just hung.
So I thought it was something I had missed on the update. I came to the forums. I grabbed the Beta installer and copied everything over again. But no joy.
When I open perfmon, memory resources are through the roof. To the point of making Windows unresponsive.
Steps I took:
I downloaded the zip you have recently provided, overwrote, and ran the EXE.
Doing a time check.. It took 6 mins to get past the Loading Airports. And the Original Loading screen closed. AIGTC was still showing as a running process using 9GB of Memory.
I let it continue. During this time, a couple boxes opening and then closed but they were only boxes. No content.
Around 9 mins after. It shut down and wasn't showing in the Task Manager. However, Windows was still very slow or unresponsive. I've had to use my reset button a lot. It's making Windows completely unstable for some reason.
Another thing I noticed, was that AIG didn't start up with the Sim. I thought maybe it had to do with the new AIGTC.
When I realized that wasn't the truth. I start AIGTC and it crashed everything. Simbrief Downloader also crashed because of resource issues. (on a separate time)
I'm not sure which log you need. I forgot from the earlier posts. So here is everything with the word "Log". ;D
I appreciate your help!

I have one good news ::happy:: and one problem :nuke:
I removed all my scenery entries from p3d v4 (took backup scenery.cfg ). I tested TC only with addon sceneries now it is working finally I saw the interface of app. I will post log files for working setting. initializing time of TC is around 5 min and In TC folders I have airport bin ( 64kb) scenery bin (729 kb)
beside that I have to add other sceneries via scenery.cfg. I will wait your respond for me for another test.
I hope we will handle with it, great support ::party::
0.4.1.1 will come with an optional "slow mode", that will require less RAM but will take a bit longer to load the initial cache on the first startup.
By default AIGTC will scan all scenery files in all scenery directories the same time. In the new mode only on directory will be scanned at the same time.
Update is going onlne in a few minutes
I am having the same issue "load airports" and i am using the latest version of Traffic Controller.
I used 0.4.1.1 in slow mode. But there are freezes by full RAM. I have 32GB installed.

Hi Kaiii3, TC has a hard time dealing with large data files if I have to speak for my PC. When I try to load all its files, the PC first uses all physical ram (16Gb) and Virtual Memory (55Gb) and then eventually freezes and finally becomes inoperable.
For my own PC, I found a solution: first, I made a backup and cleaned all the entries in the Scenery.cfg file. Then I ran the program with only the first hundred entries. In about 15 minutes, it scanned all entries and opened it and created a bin file. At the other stage, I ran the program over and over again, adding the next 100 on top of the old one each time. totally It took me 2.5 hours because there were 438 entries in My Scenery.cfg file, but I was able to scan all the files without the PC freezing.
This is nothing to me compared to yesterday's waste of time. I must say that TC had a hard time scanning ORBX and Default P3dv4 files. These files use the most of time. It usually has no problem scanning normal Scenery files and Addons.
Now, after everything is over, I have Airport. bin file 14mb Scenery.bin file 26mb. and TC opening time is around 5 minutes.

Good Morning,
I've gone ahead and redownloaded AIGTC. And it's gone from bad to worse.
When I right click and Run as Admin. The desktop flickers. But nothing opens. Nothing in Task Manager as well. I've tried to open it about 6 times. I've even restarted my PC.
As a test. I took the new download and the latest EXE upload and combined them. (exe upload overwrote new download) And still got the same results. Something is deploying but is shutting down instantly. Just a flicker, blue loading circle for a couple seconds, and nothing.
Could you kindly provide the previous AIGTC version. So those of us affected can use a stable copy for now?

0.4.1.1 will come with an optional "slow mode", that will require less RAM but will take a bit longer to load the initial cache on the first startup.
By default AIGTC will scan all scenery files in all scenery directories the same time. In the new mode only on directory will be scanned at the same time.
Update is going onlne in a few minutes
Hi Kaiii3, TC has a hard time dealing with large data files if I have to speak for my PC. When I try to load all its files, the PC first uses all physical ram (16Gb) and Virtual Memory (55Gb) and then eventually freezes and finally becomes inoperable.
For my own PC, I found a solution: first, I made a backup and cleaned all the entries in the Scenery.cfg file. Then I ran the program with only the first hundred entries. In about 15 minutes, it scanned all entries and opened it and created a bin file. At the other stage, I ran the program over and over again, adding the next 100 on top of the old one each time. totally It took me 2.5 hours because there were 438 entries in My Scenery.cfg file, but I was able to scan all the files without the PC freezing.
This is nothing to me compared to yesterday's waste of time. I must say that TC had a hard time scanning ORBX and Default P3dv4 files. These files use the most of time. It usually has no problem scanning normal Scenery files and Addons.
Now, after everything is over, I have Airport. bin file 14mb Scenery.bin file 26mb. and TC opening time is around 5 minutes.
how big are all your addons (scenery BGL only) combined?

Good Morning,
I've gone ahead and redownloaded AIGTC. And it's gone from bad to worse.
When I right click and Run as Admin. The desktop flickers. But nothing opens. Nothing in Task Manager as well. I've tried to open it about 6 times. I've even restarted my PC.
As a test. I took the new download and the latest EXE upload and combined them. (exe upload overwrote new download) And still got the same results. Something is deploying but is shutting down instantly. Just a flicker, blue loading circle for a couple seconds, and nothing.
Could you kindly provide the previous AIGTC version. So those of us affected can use a stable copy for now?
this indicates some other issue, please open a new topic and post the logs.
Without Orbx And Default P3d v4 files, my sceneryfiles are around 140gb

can you make a backup of the cache (remove the original after that) and try the below version.
Run it in slow-mode, it will only load 10 files at the same time. This will increase loading times, but should keep RAM usage lower.

Ok I will try, most probably tomorrow night I will have chance for it.
If I would experience any problem during slow mode, may I start Tc with my own cache without any lost
Sorry for the late reply (My son was born this week. :yeah:)
I don't believe it to be a different issue in general. Whatever it was doing while failing to load, isn't happening anymore.
I redownloaded the files this morning. Deleted my current TC folder and made a new one. And extracted the download into that folder.
Ran TC as Admin and selected Slow Mode. At this time.. It's been running on "Loading Airports" for the last 8+ mins. It's currently using 10.5GB of RAM out of 16GB.
In regards to folder sizes..
P3Dv4/Scenery folder is 15.5GB
P3Dv4/Addon Scenery is 19.0GB
My Documents/P3Dv4 Addon Folders is 2.74GB
I also have about 300GB of photoreal scenery on a different SSD.
I've had to stop writing this post a few times because TC is using all the resources and froze the pc.
Update: After 18 mins. It loaded using Slow Mode.
Tech Note:
I'm running on a i7-8700K @ 4.75Ghz and 16GB of 3200 RAM. Last night, I ordered a i7-11700K, new mobo, and 32GB of 4600 RAM. I'm also running AiG and the sim, on the same M2 SSD. You would think it would be super fast being on the same partition.
Anything you can think of to help with the load times?
congratz:
The loading times for the next startup should be faster (and you should not get any popup message about slow mode).

It loaded in 1 1/2 mins. ::party::
Thank You for the help!
I'm still having this issue. It is on a loop at "load airports"
