hey guys,

i posted this topic on the pmdg 737 forum but they said i should come here.

I live in Australia so i fly all around australia. Lately i have been flying alot of legs from brisbane to sydney airport. The thing is as soon as im about 3000Ft near sydney FSX will say an error has occured then it will restart. again i use the pmdg 737 NGX and sometimes the instruments will freeze and you have no LIVE instruments so they will be stuck on 3000 FT 150 KNOTS when really ur at 1000FT and 142 KNOTS. This is really frustrating considering i fly the pmdg 737 all around australia to all the airports. I fly from brisbane to perth which is a long 4 hours 50 minute flight and fsx dosent crash or freeze. But as soon as im about 3000FT at sydney it crashes??

 

whats woring with sydney airport???

 

I have all my traffic settings at 0

 

i never get an out of memory signs it just says an error has occured or the 737 instruments freeze.

 

No other airport dose this just sydney!!

 

PLEASE HELP ME

Drake, are you using default FSX scenery for YSSY? Have you added Orbx or any other scenery?

Hi Drake,

 

 

Do you have any Add-on Airport scenery installed .... example CLS Pro Sydney??? .....if so ...unistall the scenery software, run Fltsim again so it can rebuild it scenery database and try re-installing the software again.

 

Then again,

 

Is there any another AFD.BLG files added the scenery files near YSSY ...ex...bankstown,richmond or Camden ...this sometimes can cause issue like this....

 

 

What happens when you fly around YSSY airspace on a different aircraft???????

WR269,

thanks for the quick reply

im using yssy default scenery, i did use orbx ybbn, ymml and canberra but i have never used and add on scenery for yssy.

 

munga,

again thanks for the quick reply

no im using the default scenery, and i just flew around sydney in the default 737, the exact same thing happned. Firstly what i noticed was the bulidings around sydneys cbd near the opera house went funny, flashing back in forth and then it went really laggy and bang an error has occured

 

Drake

 

but i can fly anywhere around australia, any airport and its fine. Just sydney!!!!

 

okay so i just took off in the pmdg 737 ngx from sydney with everything loaded, GSX and FS2CREW. Its fine it didnt crash it was just abit laggy. Im now 36000FT still cliimbing back to brisbane and nothing has happened. that test i did then with the default 737 flying around the sydney airspace was a saved flight that i loaded and just turned into the yssy area. It seems that it crashes when im landing not departing.

 

I also relized one other thing, i have orbx au traffic installed and lately i havent checked the settings but traffic is around 35 - 40 percent for each bar. DO u think that maybe when im landing into sydney i put all traffic down to 0???

 

drake

Drake,

 

try and set it the Traffic AI to Zero...and test FSX.....otherwise unistall ORBX traffic and try again.....

 

Obviously.... try to remember what was working before and the changes you made before the issue started....

 

Sometimes it doesn't hurt to rename the FSX.CFG and start a new profile...

 

 

munga

okay will do that in a second.

 

And i cant really remember cause i went off FSX for along time, and comming back and trying to fly to sydney and it always crashing frustrated me to hell.

 

And what would i rename it too??

And what would i rename it too??

 

"Fsxbackup" for example. FSX will then rebuild a new cfg file automatically when you restart.

okay thank you

 

i renamed the fsx.cfg is now fsxbackup

 

it made a new folder? so now there is fsx.cfg folder and then fsxbackup in another..........

is this correct??

Yeah, when you restart FSX it's the fsx.cfg that is being used. It's basically all the default settings of fsx. fsxbackup should now be "dead"
