Hi,I've been having random CTD's where FS2004 just shuts itself down, without any warning or error message, it just....disappears, leaving me sitting there bemused. Today I was tracking my AI aircraft and had 3 of these random CTD's after about 10-20 mins of me starting the sim.I have Render to Texture ticked in the FS2004 settings however the text line RenderToTexture=1 didn't appear in the FS9.cfg file. I have now added it under my display device setting and currently testing my system and so far so good.Could the fact that the line RenderToTexture=1 wasn't in my FS9.cfg file have anything to do with the random CTD's?

Hi,Yes, but because of the textures on the AI planes. Some are done in DXT3 in order to improve performance.Thanks,Jimhttp://www.hifisim.com/Active Sky V6 Development Team Active Sky V6 Proud SupporterHiFi Beta TeamRadar Contact Supporter: http://www.jdtllc.com/AirSource Member: http://www.air-source.us/FSEconomy Member:http://www.fseconomy.com/

Thats good. Its wierd how the setting was ticked in FS2004 but wasn't written to the FS9.cfg file. I am using the AS6 DXT3 clouds. Since I reforrmatted my HD and reinstalled everything the other day, I've had one random CTD the other day while doing a flight but that had been the only one till today.Hopefully adding the line will fix it, and I'll have no more random CTD's. They are so frustrating. Thanks again Jim, your help has been invaluable.

How has this been working for you? Still without problems?

Touchwood, nothing. I've had a few random CTD's when switching from the PMDG 737 to the MRAI Traffic Viewer program but nothing when doing proper flying.I pray nothing happens now i've said this lol.
