747-400 start up problems

[JustinW 0]

Im currently running the windows 32bit software with FSX along with the acceleration package and i installed fsx with FSUIPC and installed the PMDG747. I discovered that when i clicked on a 744 it pauses and shows the loading of the airports but stops at the Navaids, stops at 0 and crashes FSX. I tried adjusting the DLL.xml file and tried uninstalling the PMDG a few times. Im really close to uninstalling FSX all together and starting over which i dont want to. please help!

the Sim crashes when i pick a passenger or freighter version and it tries to load the AIRAC like the airports and runways. After the airports or not after the the airports and it goes to the runways and stays there and shows a error message. and i click on it to close it and it crashes FSX

Sorry about that

A misplaced / or \ character is a common problem in the dll.xml file. It should be easy to find on close inspection.Before re-installing FSX try deleting the fsx.cfg file. FSX will create a new one when you start up next time.The error message may have a click spot for further information, see what else the OS has to offer.

Well there was three files that went according to the error msg and i have a also a captain sim 757 aircraft. if i was to install both of them which was to be installed first

what should i do if the other payware aircraft have a conflict with the pmdg

Install the pmdg first, make sure it works. Install the other product and see if both work, if the dll.xml file is messed up by other product you either fix it or stop using it.

I uninstalled every add-on and installed the PMDG 747 and this time it loaded the airports and navaids but the sim freazes and crashes before the model shows up.

You haven't fixed your dll.xml file is my guess.

It looks okay to me. I'm not helping much am I? Have you created a trouble ticket at the pmdg support web portal?
