FSX keeps crashing in free flight

Featured Replies

Hello

 

As topic says I experience crash in free flight.

 

Usually I get the "blue circle of doom" when I'm using the menu on the top of the screen. I can use the "alt" menu for a long time over the flight, but at some random point it will crash.

 

Anyone have any clues on why?

 

I have REX, Traffic x and a ton of simobjects addons.

 

 

Besides that I have a stable hight end pc running win 7 x64.

Try renaming the FSX.cfg file and allowing FSX to create a new one. That may help.

 

It could also be one of the simobject addons that is causing the crash. If so, it may take some detective work on your part to find the culprit file(s).

Do you have the UIAutomationCore.dll fix? Word Not Allowed's FSX guide in the Tutorials has the download link if you don't have it.

If the UIAutomationCore.dll fix doesn't work, try to delete the UiAutomationCore.dll in both C:\Windows\System32 and C:\Windows\SysWOW64. The fix didn't work for me (Win 7 64bit), but the latter did! :) Don't forget to back it up before deleting!

 

Edit: Last sentence

Please, don't ever delete a system file!!!

 

The fix goes in the root directory of FSX. See Word Not Allowed's Guide i Hardware.

Thax all.

 

I hadnt tried the fix before posting, tried it while posts arrived.

 

Atm it seems it sorted the problem.

 

And thanks FAF for making me clean up the fsx folder, it was about time. :)
