Cockpit freezing?

[MikeEchoXray]

Hey guys, Firstly I just want to say, wow. What an amazing product. Truly amazing! But I have found that as soon as I start entering SID/STAR and Route information everything in the cockpit stops working. The scratch pad doesn't show anything that I type in and every switch within the cockpit, although can still be manipulated, is not functional. The textures on the outside then act very strange and all I can see of the aircraft is the internals. I have re-installed and tried different liveries and still the same issue every time. Anyone else have this problem or could anyone on here lend a hand before I submit a ticket? I'm sure the boys over at PMDG are busy enough already. Thanks everyone.Kind regards,

Hey Ryan, thanks for the speedy reply. I have been through the recommended fsx.cfg settings, disabled Fcuipc auto save, reinstalled again, removed all liveries and still no luck. It happens precisely when I open the DEP/ARR page. Its not that the program freezes as such, just everything looses functionality. I can still open all 2D screens, move all switches etc, just none have any effect what so ever.

Sam, Gonna need more info, can you give me exact steps to try to reproduce this? What airports for the DEP ARR page etc?

I have no idea what I did but I fixed the cockpit issue.I now am stuck with the exterior textures disappearing leaving only the skeleton, I have updated my FSX.cfg with no luck. REX 2.0 water textures are flashing black as well. I am very sorry for all the trouble but any help would be amazing. Thanks for the amazing product. Although not working 100 percent yet, it is absolutely mind blowing.Thanks guys,Regards,

NZWN, default airport, REX 2.0, Windows 7 32bit, dual core AMD Turion 2.1GHz, Radeon HD 3650.Old school but runs the all other payware (including NGX so far) at around 25FPS

Did you see this on the product page?MinimumOS: Windows XP/Windows Vista/Windows 7 (latest service packs), Flight Simulator X with SP2 or Acceleration installed. Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD equivalentRAM: 2GB if only running the NGX, 4GB if running other addons (scenery, traffic etc)Video Card: DirectX 9 compatible with 512MB of video memory (examples: Nvidia 8800GT, AMD/ATI Radeon 4870) Best Performance OS: Windows 7 64-bitProcessor: Intel Core i5 or i7 (Sandy Bridge core) or betterRAM: 4GB+Video Card: Nvidia GTX560 Ti, 570 or 580 with 1GB+ of video memory or betterMonitor: Widescreen 1920x1080+ PMDG *highly* recommends the use of 64-bit versions of Windows due to memory limitations in FSX.

Fixed! First flight complete and what a joy she is to fly! VNAV/LNAV are amazing. So smooth. Actual handling is beautiful. Thanks everyone on the team at PMDG. You've all been brilliant. Cheers,Kind regards,

Can you explain what you did to fix the problem?

[Mats_J]

Sam, Glad you got it sorted. Would you mind telling the rest of the world what fixed your problem?Might be useful for any other encountering the same problem. Thanks,

Hi Sam, If you could post how you fixed it - then we won't more people in the same situation Thanks, Chris

No worries guys, Uninstalled NGX (removed liveries as well), ran a defrag, reboot, went through fsx.cfg making sure I had the 'HIMEMFIX = 1', ensured FSX was being run as admin, disabled anti-virus from scanning fsx root directory, disabled auto-save on fcuipc, re-install NGX, re-install liveries, reboot. Pretty much the standard advice worked a treat.Thanks guys,Kind regards,
