I created a flightplan to go from KPHL to KITH. The flight loaded normally with the aircraft parked at Gate F5. I pushed back from the gate in order to start engines. I got both engines running and contacted Ground Control to receive taxi clearance. As soon as the ok to go was given I was just about to start taxiing when all of a sudden the whole sim froze and I got an annoying stutter through my sound speakers. The only thing I could do was restart the computer.

 

I deleted my FS9.cfg file and created a new one. With that I also deleted my FSUIPC 3.99G and re-installed it. I also deleted the FSUIPC.INI file so that a new one would be created. These are the only things I can think of to try and prevent future lock ups. I use Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit with 8 Gigs of Ram on the MB. I also have 2 Nvidia Video Cards that are the GTS 250 model. Each of these has 1Gig of Ram on them.

 

I try and keep my system running clean. I use Norton's Systemworks and keep the Registry clean. I also use O and O Defrag to optimize my HD. My processor is an Intel Dual Core Chip. I think that every now and then either the FS9.cfg file becomes corrupted or the FSUIPC file may get messed up. Maybe if these are updated say, once a month that will prevent freezes from occurring. If anyone has any comments regarding these issues please feel free to add to this.

 

Happy Flying,

Hi,

 

Many experienced simmers here will try to assist you, but you should explain more in detail what add on you were trying to load and does this also happen to other addons? I don't know much about this but have you tried turning off the UAC and run as administrator since you're using 64bit OS?

 

regards
