CTD on Moon->Earth trip.

[Linguofreak]

On a recent trip in which I attempted to fly a lunar return in an XR1, I experienced a CTD around halfway back or so. I seem to recall something about CTD's at SOI boundaries on Earth<->Moon trips, but I don't really recall the details as to trigger conditions or fixes. (Actually as I write this, ISTR that it had something to do with docking, which wouldn't apply in this situation, but I seldom or never encountered the bug myself, so the memory is so fuzzy I can't be sure that was it).

Is it possible you are using LandMFD?
Using the memory amplifier (search function) on "earth moon soi ctd" turned up only one thread besides this one.
Apparently LandMFD causes a CTD if you change SOIs when a base in MapMFD is selected.

I had encountered a similar problem using Harmsway's mind-boggling accelerating cruiser. Though I was always speeding away from Earth, trying to zip past the Moon, so out from the Earth. Always CTD'd when passing through the SOI's. By the time I was going to pass the SOI's boundaries, the ship was going really fast. Perhaps it happens only at high velocities? What was your speed with the XR1?

Certain MFDs do this. Could you list the MFDs you have installed?

Well, as far as MFD's that I actually had running, two copies of OrbitMFD.

Please do try deselecting "LandMFD" first. It definitely has CTD / SOI issues.

Try running LOLA MFD instead of LandMFD anyway!

What does 'GateMFD' do?

GateMFD controls the Babylon 5 jump gates.
