Would like to congratulate the PMDG team for creating the most realistic 737 simulation for FSX . I am so happy with the hard work you guys have put into the NGX , but 2-3 small issues are creating a bit of problem to me like 1) Blurry graphics , the colors of the aircraft engines and tails become black during flight. 2) I am not getting sharp graphics in the vc . 3) FSX Crashes whenever I end a flight on the vc . I am using a high end computer the specs are :- 1) 8 GB Ram Kingston2) i5 2400 3.10 GHZ processor3) 2 GB graphic card ATI Radeon HD 6450 4) Windows 7 ultimate 32bit Guys I know that these are very small issues , so looking forward to the solutions from the PMDG team Regards Udit Kalia

Greetings Udit Pages 7 to 22 of the Introduction may help you on some of those.

Delete FSX.cfg, restart FSX an close it. Go to webpage http://www.venetubo.com/fsx.html for optimize the FXS.cfg and change the following items: Graphic section: TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD=4096 HIGHMEMFIX=1

My PMDG works perfectly, but when I use one of their aricrafts and end the flight, my FSX got a fatal error an close. I did exactly what you said above, but it stills crashing on the end of flight.

This type of crash is not related to PMDG specifically as I have seen it many times using non-PMDG planes.

 

My take is that FSX (during a shutdown) fails to release certain memory objects probably due to a pointer access error and results in a memory deallocation error which causes the crash.

 

At the same time I have not seen this type of crash in the past few months and it was most prevalent right after I rebuilt my system.

 

What seems to help is by running FSX with a REALTIME OS priority (using FSXAssist) but I can't give you a definitive reason why. Suffice it to say that when running in REALTIME mode FSX has maximum CPU timing exposure which may help to streamline the memory deallocation process.

 

You can test this theory by using task manager to set the FSX priority to REALTIME after it is running.

FSX Crashes whenever I end a flight on the vc .

 

Do you use FS2Crew? Unfortunately I get crashes very often when quitting FS when I use this wonderful addon (but I don't care, the important thing is that I don't get crashes until I secure the aircraft at the parking...)

The SOLUTION for me was to Set the priority of FSX to 'Above Normal' in TASK MANAGER once FSX was running (right click on the process). No more greyed out windows when returning from outside views either! I found that the 'realtime priority' messed with my sound and caused stuttering :-)

I installed FSUIPC 4.939 and it corrected the problem. No crashes anymore.

Try it out. it might work for you as well.

This is a very old thread. The chances are the problem was solved long ago.

There seem to be a lot more old threads being resurrected recently for some reason. Several dating from the original NGX release. Can't think why.
