I've just started getting the following error just as FSX loads.

 

* Error  "attempt to call a nil value stack traceback"

 

Can anyone tell me what that is?  The only other thing I've noticed is I don't have any pictures of aircraft when I go into load one.  The only aircraft pictures there are the default ones.  There's a space for each aircraft with it's description only.

 

Any ideas/feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Did you ever figure out what is happening on this.  Just yesterday, I started getting the same message.

 

Thanks, Jack

Bruce,

 

Let me respond to my own post.

 

I found a corrupt addon (A2A Accu-Feel).  I uninstalled it and then reinstalled it.  Everything works correctly now without the "nil value" message. You may have the same issue with one of your addon's.

A few days after I posted this topic it got worse.  Whenever I tried to open FSX and got as far as clicking on "Fly Now" my computer crashed to the desktop.  After much hesitation and in desparation I re-installed Windows.  After re-installing everything I just about cried when FSX still crashed to the desktop.  I put one and one together and realised I had recently updated Nvidia drivers.  I installed the older drivers back in and the crashes stopped.  I suspect the latest drivers had nothing to do with the error original messages.  It was probably just a coincidence I had two problems arriving at once.  But the good news is the error messages have stopped.  I still don't know why I was getting the error message.  It's interesting you mentioned A2A Accu-feel as I do have that installed.

Strange beasts Graphic Drivers. Newer versions can be detrimental to FSX as it is no longer in the study equation. I stopped updating back at v266. something or other. Yes, ok, I know, back in the dark ages. But hey it runs a dream and it is a dedicated FSX machine.  Other machines in use for other purposes, on the other hand, are all up to date.

Regarding Accu-feel make sure you grab the latest update, it fixes a known issue and adds some new features;

Thanks Lewis.  At the time I did have the latest update installed.  I'll never know what caused the errror message - perhaps it was Accu-feel, who knows.  I haven't re-installed it yet, may be I'll do it this weekend.  Down here in the Southern Hemisphere we're just entering summer so flightsimming is put aside untill either a rainy day or winter comes around again.

 

Cheers

I have this message as well, I will uninstall accufeel and see if the message goes away.
