W7 Compatibility Mode to run FSX

Featured Replies

Hi all

 

 

Can someone tell me whats is going on here. pls

 

I have a new build after replacing a 2600k. Now I have:

 

2700k OC 5.0

2 X GTX680

W7 64 bit

UT

UT2

NGX

MD11

ORBX

FSDT

 

All was well until I installed all the FSDT airport scenery and now FSX hangs on startup due to the bglmanx Dynamic Link Library. I'm sorta use to this as the 2600K would do it too, but after 3 or 4 start attempts FSX would start fine. Now with the 2700K after about 10 - 20 attempts it might start mostly not.. so I turn it off and go to bed

 

Over at the FSDT forum they say make sure the 2005 runtime files are installed and thats about it.

 

I did find a fix... BUT not a good one:

 

If I run the FSX.exe in VISTA SP2 compatibility mode all works well. The BIG problem here is FSX runs like Crap with FPS around 10 - 25 and major stutters. But if I go back to normal mode (FSX.exe) I get the FSX hang so I choose not to run the bglmanx Dynamic Link Library (no FSDT airports) and she runs like a dream, FPS locked solid at 30 and smooth like a babies butt, using COSTA's tweaks.

 

Whats wrong with VISTA mode?

Why does FSDT bglmanx work in VISTA mode but not W7 mode or unchecked mode.

Why does FSX run like crap in VISTA mode?

 

 

mmm thx

Sounds like you installed fsx with that high overclock in place. As no overclock is 100% stable its possible you have a corrupted fsx install or even worse windows 7 has corrupted itself. But i would say you have some data corruption going on even if its just the 2005 runtime library's.

 

It could be something else mind you.

Thanks for the reply gandy,

 

I installed all with default bios settings then set the OC I had saved. Its most likely as you say a data corruption in W7 which is a bit sad as I had FSX running so sweetly for a change.

 

Whats funny is if I uninstall FSDT's scenery then all is well and there's no FSX hangs on start up.

 

 

thanks again

This is happening with a fresh install of Win7? You could try the command prompt repair command for windows but often that is no help.
