First major issue with FSX.

GundamWZero · Posted: Mon Nov 17, 2008 7:05 am Post subject: First major issue with FSX.

Ok here we go... Confused

I can plan and start a flight from anywere.....but when I am on final approach, FSX crashes...... usually a fatal error has occured. If I just fly around and goof off, or fly on multiplayer, I can fly from one place to another wuthout crashing.

Anyone has had this problem?

Probably addons get corrupted easily and cause tons of Censored

.

Any recently installed addons? You could try repairing FSX.[/url]

I thought about that as soon as I submitted my post. What I will do is perform a simular flight, but I will use a default FSX aircraft instead and see what will happen.....

Try running a registry cleaner, that may fix your dll problem

Yes, I experience "FSX crash", but not within the last couple of weeks of daily play. Some answers about your crashing experience, please.

When you plan a flight using Flight Planner, is a .pln file created in the My Documents\ Flight Simulator X Files folder?

If a .pln file was created, did you check the "move me to the active runway" box?

Most importantly, when your FSX crashes during a flight, where does the program crash you to?
FSX opening screen
Desk top
Blue screen of death

Had you ever SAVED during the flight session?

I have to figure out how to adjust this memory for FSX....2 gigs set for anything and 1 is for the OS... Why it keeps running out of memory eludes me.... Confused

Sounds like a memory leak... what addons do you have installed?

Worst case, you'll have to uninstall and reinstall FS.

What about stuff besides airplanes? (Scenery, fsuipc, squawk squawk, radar contact, etc.) Does it only happen in a certain place, or with a certain plane?

Some part of your FSX installation is not working properly; My assumption is that it's because an addon rather than the actual FSX program. The hard part is to figure out which one isn't behaving properly...

Look for processes running in background. I'm limited in help I can offer because I'm still using Xp. I've noticed FSX does have a kind of "memory leak" due to the fact it's saving data in ram all through a flight. Longer the flight the more ram is used. The rate of "memory leak" is also dependent on terrain over flown and traffic. I find that saving during a session [; key] reduces the amount of ram used right after the save. Below is 35 miles out of El Paso right after saving during a 3 hour free flight session.

Something else to consider if this is a new problem without any other software changes is possibly suddenly faulty ram!
