Wot, no plane??? sad.gif OK folks, I'm getting fed up with this! I'm getting this way too often - after ending a flight, changing aircraft, crashing ... or whatever!!!



Any ideas???? I've tried tweaking my settings down but still get it.

My system:
FSX + SP2 + Acceleration - running at 1600*1200.
Vista Home Premium (32-bit) : 4Gb RAM : Twin core 2.4 GHz : Geforce 8800 GTS 2Gb on-board. Latest nVidia drivers.

Heh - that's a bit of a "catch all" laugh.gif

I'd hate to have to reinstall *everything*!! I'm just worried that, after all the work in reinstalling, I'd still have the problem!

Hi Adam you don't need to have SP2 with Acceleration try uninstalling acceleration or the SP2
When I went to install Acceleration it told me to uninstall SP1 and SP2 before installing the Acceleration

I have come to find it depends on how much is installed , the systems spec's ... currently my FS PC is in hospital but with some aircraft addons they did the funky chicken , the LD76 example just did not want to work all-tho it was one off the early installs but the PMDG74 no issue .. i kept buying adding .. scenery , aircraft , helicopters and recent damn sweet Battleship , in all honesty the pc has a limit .

I did complete install and reinstall of FS9 and FSX , for the very reason one started to bleed to the other version corrupting each other over a period of time ! I did'nt have seperate HD's next time i will but the quick solution and it worked was create a PROGRAM FILES and PROGRAM FILES 1 for each Flight Sim and it worked .

This worked but now have an independent FSX , mentioned the LD767 worked fine year plus+ so back but heck , since then the addons with other paywares .. the registrations , codes , activations , which come to think one still has'nt worked ... DSB camera ... this is the limitations , and believe may be the cause to many problems we have and all tho Adam a different series of symptoms.

It maybe a CLASH OF THE CODES .

Ah yes, grasshoppa ;-) ... fact is, I lied about SP2 laugh.gif. I got confused with my trial Win7 install - where I specifically did NOT want to add acceleration. SP1 only (+ Acceleration) only my Vista install. I'm wondering whether it's Acclereation that's contributing.

If really have all installed for FSX , least what you want for starters .. takes a good solid week to install addons .... ohhh then the tweaking and the other addons ohmy.gif I can say FSX has kept its self happy as , for least a good 12 months , of course miss the LD76 , there would be a solution , but not needed with all my other addon s . smile.gif
