Hi all

 

I'm contemplating a fresh install of FSX as I am having serious CTD issues that I've been as yet unable to address.

 

These are the addons I have/am getting and was wondering if there's a particular order I should install them in?

 

UTX Europe

GEX Europe

ORBX England

REX

Active Sky Evolution

Individual Payware Airports

EZDok

FSUIPC

SweetFX

FSBuild

PMDG NGX

QW BAe146

 

Also if someone could clarify what the correct layering of scenery addons would be based on the above I'd be much obliged.

 

Many thanks

Martin

Oh and FSGlobal mesh

Why not un-install all your addons, and see if you still have the CTD problems with a fresh fsx.CFG file?

Failing that, do a fresh install of FSX, but dont install any addons for a while, just fly it naked and see if you still have CTD problems?

Hi Richard

 

I think (hope!) I've got my CTD issues sorted so thankfully am not about to go down the reinstallation road!

 

Thanks

Martin

Thank god for that huh... I've yet to have any of that... What caused yours?

Bad overclocking I think. Don't know what I did wrong but since I went back to default, no problem. So back to square one on that front but at least I can fly!

UTX Europe - Place just above propeller objects in the Scenery Library. Install anytime.

GEX Europe - This replaces your default textures for Europe. Install anytime.

ORBX England - Orbx handles placement in the Scenery Library using FTX Central. You do not add this one. Install anytime.

REX - Place just above UTX in Scenery Library. Install anytime.

Active Sky Evolution - Installs in own folder and is not placed in Scenery Library. Install anytime.

Individual Payware Airports - Install above UTX and FS Global.

EZDok - Install anytime. No order.

FSUIPC - Install anytime. No order.

SweetFX - Install anytime. No order

FSBuild - Install anytime. No order.

PMDG NGX - Install anytime. No order.

QW BAe146 - Install anytime. No order.

FS Global - Install first. Place just above Propeller Objects in Scenery Library.

 

Hi Martin,

My recommendations in RED above. In addition, do not install them all at once and then start up FSX. Each time you install a program, an aircraft, or airport, startup FSX and run and test the program. Once running properly, start on the next.

 

Have fun!

 

Best regards,

Jim

I had an issue with FSpassengers, soon as I enter drop down menu in FSX, FSP stops to work, like it's paused. So, I edited dll.xml and exe.xml, erased entries of some unused and uninstalled plugins, and voilla FPS working fine. FSX is extremely sensitive to lots of lugins, addons and such.

 

So what is the link with this topic? I think there is no rule of order wihch plugin or addon to install first, just you must be careful and you must treat FSX with care, it's kind a separate OS inside the OS (Win7 in my case).

do not install them all at once and then start up FSX. Each time you install a program, an aircraft, or airport, startup FSX and run and test the program. Once running properly, start on the next.

Huge agreement with that... Its just like diagnosing a faulty computer in reverse...

Its been a few weeks now and I still don't have ALL my add-ons installed yet, because I also like to get used to the default stuff, then let the add-ons WOW me when I install them too, gives me a better sense of appreciation for what has been improved :-)
