I have had two lock ups in FS2002 in the past two days...this is my system log...The following information is part of the event: fs2002.exe; 8.0.0.10919; g3d.dll; 8.0.0.10919; 0000d73a.What is the g3d.dll?I this is what what caused the crash...But is it AI, or what is it??Any help needed...Boaz...

That's one very weird thing you mention!I've had the exact g3d.dll error in the system log, though in FS2004! And it started 2-3 days ago!! I'm not using AI, it happened when taxiing out of stand S1 at Heathrow. I didn't even load weather yet, SBRelay was running, SB also, and it was night. As I pushed back the stand, I turned left, I pressed SLEW unintentionally, and then released it, went into full screen, and after I pushed throttle forward to move, after 1-2 seconds screen just went black and I got an error...I didn't have these errors a long time, but my experience is following: if they start occuring, the best thing you can do is, backup your current FS folder, reinstall new and then start one by one moving stuff into new installation and reinstalling needed stuff.One thing can be, that some addon is causing this, and second thing that's it's a seasonal bug - something I heard it happening only over specific textures. Although, I'm using Bluesphere, and it proved OK until now...Will see what I'll do, if this happens again.

I have just installed Fscene textures...Maybe that's the problem?But it's always when entering spain from Milan...Winter to spring textures?Also another thing I don't have the textures for fscene spring...So I don't know if that could be a factor, when going from Milan to Spain but not the other way...?Boaz...

Boaz,I did a search on this forum for "g3d.dll" and there are several recommended solutions to this problem. One recommended resetting your default flight to Meigs if you changed the default setting for FS2K2. Hope this helps.Jim

Boaz,I'd suggest you try first default, without those upgrades. Then make ONE upgrade, and try. You have to experiment when it crashes. To me, unfortunately, the crashes seemed very much random. Now and there, different locations, always unable to repeat the crash, 2nd time would work always...my suspicion lies in the FSW clouds by Chris Willis, because I have installed the fastest ones, 32bit, and render to texture disabled. After that I think I started getting these weird from time to time crashes. Although, if I put any higher clouds, say DXT3, my system gets much too slow, at least so it seems, gotta go through some more testing...
