Problems 737NGX (Freezes in flight)

Featured Replies

Hi guys,

 

I wonder if anyone can help me with my problem. Turns out this wonderful aircraft in flight freezes every 5 or 10 minutes, I mean the complete simulator even going to be the typical message .... (no answer), but automatically returns to life alone for refrozen after a while. I have to say that I was wrong with my previous pc, renewed almost its entire hardware for various reasons and because I thought surely this would solve the problem but it has not happened and I'm still the same.

 

I run Windows 7 Pro x64 with Prepar3D (with FSX I get exactly the same).

 

I do not understand what is happening and can not find the solution. I tried to incorporate HIGHMEMFIX = 1 under [GRAPHICS] but nothing. If someone can give me a solution eternally be grateful.

 

Thank you very much for your attention and sorry for my English.

 

Xavi,

P3D is not officially supported by PMDG. Regardless, it does not require HIGHMEMFIX=1. Did you try HIGHMEMFIX=1 with FSX as well?

 

Are you using any add-ons that require constant updates (automatic flight saving, traffic, weather, etc.) or Windows utilities that might be interfering with performance?

I tested with FSX and neither works. Plus I use REX + Overdrive, having to download data from internet time each x time. I use MyTraffic 2010 also but not used it before and also passed. In Windows I have the basic programs and I have nothing that could interfere with it. I must tell you that my father, too fond of this simulator, also has this airplane and also the exact same thing happens. The two performed a significant performance increase in our computers and, both then and now still having problems.

The only time I had an issue of freezing with the PDMG was when I used an earlier version of ProAtc X with it. (while using MYtraffic, Orbx, Rex and Opus) it would last about 5-10 min then the sim would resume without crashing.

 

Prepar3D will tell you if you get an OOM

 

I would disable all you addons, fly the NGX (hopefully you have no problems) and activate your addons 1 by 1 after and see if you can find the culprit.

Also, how did you configure both your FSX settings and FSX.cfg tweaks? Did you experiment independently or follow a published approach such as the AVSIM FSX Hardware and Software Guide or Word Not Allowed's Guide?

Really use Xtreme P3D Booster with great results but I'm having problems with freezing. I have not yet tried to disable MyTraffic 2010 ... is all I have installed since running with or without REX Overdrive makes me equally.

Sorry for the delay in replying but you know ... work.

Same here it freezes for about 10 seconds while in flight every five- ten minutes. Opus weather, many addons the same I use with other planes i.e. Md-11 without issues.
