Photoreal Scenery Not Working

Featured Replies

My last two customers are having trouble getting photoreal scenery to load. Can someone please help them get up and flying? I will let them explain their problems but it seems they are both running with Windows 7. Jay is able to load 2 states but not the rest. Max is getting a windows error message. Any help would be appreciated.

Same problem with problem with U.S. Airfields Vol I and II. Somehow, I got two of the airfields working but can't get the other ones. Have no idea what I did right. I am having a Geek Squad person from Best Buy come over to see if he can solve it, although I hope he is familiar with Flight Sim.I have a related problem with GoFlight's auto pilot unit. the radios and landing gear work fine, but the autopilot doesn't. Did work with previous computer using Windows XP.

Can you get the XP Version working along side to confirm it's not the add-ons?

My system with Windows 7 64 bit is normally running very well. You find the details of my platform, tweaks and settings in my Guide to setup and tune the flight simulator X. I can use the photoreal scenery Switzerland Pro X without any problems.When I use this photoreal scenery, then I get freezes, i. e application crashes after 20 to 40 minutes typical. Normally the module util.dll is involved. I have reduced the settings withing FSX with no success so far.Any advice would be highly appreciated. :(

Does the scenery load correctly? I'm checking Microsoft Knowledge base concerning util.dll. They refer to buffers being a problem with some applications. I wiil check further.

The scenery loads correctly. I can fly 20 to 40 minutes until it freezes. I used Florida and California so far.Dxdiag works without error.I have the latest video driver and distributables.Now I will experiment with UIAutomationCore.dll as stated here http://social.answer...42-146414087ec5

I eliminated this tweak from my FSX.CFG file:[bufferPools] UsePools=0This brought back the necessary stability for photo real sceneries. I could fly 5 hours in Florida and California without a single freeze / CTD. :(
