Quick Test of Addon Scenery

I learned this the hard way, so I thought I'd share this tip that I haven't seen posted anywhere before.I was getting FSX Accel CTD whenever I flew between KVNY and KLAX and it was driving me nuts. The cause ended up being an add-on scenery that I had downloaded off the web some time ago. During the debug process I developed this quick screening method.If you're installing a new scenery item:- Install your new scenery item- Go to settings and move your Airline Traffic Density slider above zero, sufficiently to create some airline traffic in the area you are flying.- Go back to the normal flying view, right click anywhere and select Air Traffic and then any of the listed aircraft.- If the aircraft is visible with no problems then the scenery will not cause CTD's; if it is bad FSX will immediately CTD (in Vista you'll get the "Stopped Working" dialog)If you've already got the CTD problem then: - Uncheck all of the scenery from the Scenery Library in the area you are flying. - Go to settings and move your Airline Traffic Density slider above zero, sufficiently to create some airline traffic in the area you are flying. - Go back to the normal flying view, right click anywhere and select Air Traffic and then any of the listed aircraft.- Add back each scenery item one at a time until you get the CTD and you've found the offending item.Hope this is helpful.
