Ok, grabbed your latest exe from -

Agreed! Do not know what caused you to think I would do this?

I do have some old 'copies' around, but have been doing daily
cvs updates for at least the last week or so ... That is an update
of at least the Simgear, FlightGear and fgfsbase trees ...

But not yet fully trusting this 'relatively new to me' tool called cvs,
and since I normally do my updating from -
:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/var/cvs/FlightGear-0.7,

I decided to do a new complete base download to a new
folder (HOME=d:\fg79cvs) - The anon ftp log of
http://rockfish.net/fg should show a 2 hour session about
11:00 hrs GMT/UTC. Here .cvspass contains -
:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvsroot

But your new exe of 15th CRASHES in exactly the same place
as previously enumerated ...

A compare of my update from flightgear.org with the fresh
copy from rockfish.net, ignoring CVS generated files like
Entries,Root,etc, show them to be exactly the same - as
I think they should be?

Of course about 60+ files of the some 2,300 in the base have
up to about a 1 day different time stamp, but the contents remain
unchanged. And of course ignoring the mashed c172.xml as
also enumerated ...

But I am no better off at the moment - After yesterdays
complete recompile using yesterdays cvs FlightGear src
my exe also now crashes ... we have seen this gremlin
before ! 

Naturally the first two lines of the logs using your exe and
mine are 'different'. Yours shows -

Exec:[d:\dtemp\fgfs.exe] with command(s) []
FlightGear:  Version 0.7.9

Mine shows -
Exec:[..\debug\flightgear.exe] with command(s) []
FlightGear:  Version MSVC6-FGFS32-0.7.8

Of course DO NOT BE FOOLED by the
'version' shown. This IS the 7.9 src. It is just that I have not
yet altered the #define in 
FlightGear\src\include\config.h.msvc6,
and thus the 'generated' src\include\config.h
to the next version yet ... which you obviously
have ... should do that soon.

But there after the logs continue the same for a long
time with -
Scanning for root: command line
fg_root = D:\fg79\fgfsbase
Reading global preferences
Finished Reading global preferences
Reading default aircraft: c172 from D:\fg79\fgfsbase/preferences.xml
Processing command line arguments
Finished command line arguments
Opening a window: 800x600
...
and so on, on, on, on ...

When running your fgfs.exe the log ends abruptly with
...
  </autopilot>
</PropertyList>
********* After fgSaveFlight()
********* Before globals->saveInitialState()
I do not even know why it is doing fgSaveFlight() at all???

When running my flightgear.exe the log end with things
we have SEEN before ...

Touchdown report for RIGHT_TIP

FGJSBsim::set_Euler_Angles: -1.#IND, 1.#QNAN, 5.19934

So at the moment both exe are toast on my system.

I wish I had zipped up the src of my previous exe before
updating the folder from the cvs download, since I could then
'backtrack' a few days in the source, and begin adding
the changes since then one by one - but I can't!

I am sure there is probably a cvs command to 'do this', but
am not so sure I would trust the update, and anyway it can
not give me back the files I had modified ...

Some days are just like that ...

rgds,

Geoff.
