While I have never experienced a CTD with fs9 I am bedeviled by crashes to black screen from which the only way to recovery is to hit the reset button. These crashes seem to occur mostly when I'm panning around in spot plane view although I occasionally get them when changing cockpit views. I like to fly mostly around the alpine area of Europe for which I have installed Raymondo Taburet's Alps Mesh, I thought this may have been the problem but even with this disabled, and using the default B737 I still have the same problem, when on the ground at LOWI Innsbruck I dare not enter spot plane view at all as it always end in a crash. Can anyone please help with this as it's ruining the fs9 experience for me. As of yet I haven't tried uninstalling/reinstalling fs9, maybe I should?Thanks,Pete

More information about your computer, graphics adapter, MOBO and graphics adapter drivers installed would help troubleshoot your problem.W. Sieffert
