Fsx Crashes at 39% loading

[Shane Slevin 0]

Hi all

 

My fsx has recently started to crash the moment it gets to 39% when loading a free flight. Also when loading fsx i get a "Visual model could no be displayed. Aircreation582SL red" warning message. Sometimes i don't even get past the splash screen before it crashes.

 

This problem has come completely out of the blue, i haven't installed or changed anything in fsx in weeks!

 

Amy help to resolve this problem would be greatly appreciated, its beginning to get a bit frustrating now.

 

Thanks,

Shane

This means you have an aircraft you are trying to load that is probably pre-FS9 and any aircraft made prior to FS9 will not work in FSX. A possible solution is to install MDL Repair 2.0.1 (Google).

 

Best regards,

Tanks for the prompt reply Jim. The visual model warning is in relation to the default Fsx Air creation trike. I don't think I have any aircraft pre fs9 or even any form fs9. I tried the MDL Repair 2.0.1 with no luck. What aspect of Fsx starts loading at 39%?

What aspect of Fsx starts loading at 39%?

 

I thought maybe you had installed another version or repaint of the Trike. It has to be something not compatible with FSX. At 39% it's still loading terrain data up to around 70%. Did you move any scenery, textures, addons? Did you move anything from the Module, Gauges, or Effects folders? The error message is telling you there is something wrong with Red model of the Trike. Try loading the Yellow or White version. The Red version is the default aircraft. Did you change the position where the Trike will start up at?

 

Best regards,

Jim

The problem started after I installed mcphat studios ryanair repaint for the NGX. Fsx gave a warning about two models with the same name so I un-installed it. After that i started having the current problem. I have also noticed that when selecting an aircraft the thumbnails don't correspond to the aircraft ie they are actually for the aircraft immanently to the left. I did get to load a flight fully once but the runway and taxi textures didn't show up.

The last 3 attempts to load fsx have failed before i have even got past the splash screen.

This happens if a thumbnail is missing in one of the texture folders. The NGX is the one I suspect. I would completely uninstall the McPhat repaints, run fsx, then try to reinstall the repaints. I believe the aircraft.cfg for the NGX may be somehow corrupted and doesn't properly show the repaint(s).

 

Best regards,

I see that you are being helped here quite well. Still if your problem does not get fixed, come to the McPhat forum and I will try to help you (preferably in a direct chat). Installation of our files are done on risk of the user (like with all software), but also for our freeware liveries you can expect support or some kind of help to fix your problem. For the moment I also have the idea that somehow your aircraft.cfg got corrupted.

 

I would like to add 1 thing however. Our installer makes a backup which is called aircraft.cfg.original or aircraft.cfg_old.

I'd advice you to cut and paste the current aircraft.cfg somewhere (your desktop or an other location where you can find it back), then rename the aircraft.cfg.original or aircraft.cfg_old (which can be found in the PMDG 737-800NGX WL map) to aircaft.cfg and see if the problem still persists.

I have tried all of the above with no luck. I get the visual model could not be displayed warning and then fsx crashes on the splash screen.

Did you a try a FSX repair?

Tanks for the reply, i no longer have the disks for fsx so am unable to repair fsx. Today I restored all the fsx files to a previous version before i started having this problem. It had mixed results, I can now load fsx but cant load a flight. The area below the buttons in the free flight section where the current selected aircraft is displayed is blacked out. When I click on start fight the screen goes black and stops responding. I still get the visual model warning on start up.
