November 27, 201312 yr Hello. I was doing a flight when suddenly FSX CTD. So I restarted the sim (as I usually do when having CTDs), but this time, PMDG started to freeze once the flight was recovered (using NGX). I again restarted the sim, and this time, everything related to a PMDG product made the sim freeze. I tried deleting the cfg file to create a new one, but again when selecting either the 777, 747 or 737, FS just freezes, I cant even shut it down, I have to open task manager and stop the program. So I tried uninstalling first the 777X and trying to fly the NGX....Same issue. I uninstalled NGX, and tried it with the 747....same issue. I unistalled the 747. Tried it with LVLD or any default aircraft, and the sim works fine. I then reinstalled the 777 from scratch, but again, FSX freezes... Any thoughts? this is being very frustrating...
November 27, 201312 yr Author :Praying: :Praying:Adding up... I tried only installing NGX first with all its updates. I can load the plane, but if I try to do anything (quit fs, or open FSUIPC or any other command) again FSX freezes and stops responding... This seems to be applying only to PMDG products, as the rest of the planes work out fine. I tried also deleting any PMDG file inside the FSX folder, and doing a clean PMDG reinstall, but again, Im stuck in the same place... I REALLY HOPE I wont have to go with another full FSX install.... :blink: :wacko: :Praying:
November 27, 201312 yr beware of reinstalling fsx out of desperation, you will probably be going to a lot of hassle for nothing if you do. ive had similar issues with the 777 and reinstalling makes no difference ive tried it all! its more psychological to do that. Its the pmdg products .............. they just are too heavy on resources and the system cant cope and freezes. . kav
November 27, 201312 yr "they just are too heavy on resources and the system cant cope and freezes" This is a bit of a bold statement, most users are running the NG and 777 addons with minimal issues This has got to be a config issue. I would follow the advice in the introduction manuals to the letter. These addons work very well as long as the setup is correct, you just need to make some choices on what detail is more important to you and adjust accordingly and then you can have a good compromise.It is also a good idea to ensure that your PC and operating system are in good health and up to spec. Any high end add on like this will push the boundaries of the FSX platform untill it can be moved to a optimised 64 bit platform in my opinion. Best of luck
November 27, 201312 yr Author Well. The thing is they had been working perfectly for the past 3 months until yesterday. It suddenly gave me this trouble. Believe me. I'm trying to avoid at all cost to reinstall fsx. Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk
November 27, 201312 yr Author Uninstalling everything as I write...and making a full reinstall of FSX. Now, I know PMDG dindt Freeze, it was FSX, but it seemed as if after the incident, FSX was not working as it should. I was getting blurried textures when using the top down view...etc... Also, im installing this time the simulator to C:FSX instead of C:ProgramFiles"....
