FSX and Flightbeam Scenery

[Constantine 16]

Hi please can anyone advise

I have FSX Gold Edition with acceleration, using PMDG B737NGX

 

I just downloaded Flightbeam's KSFO scenery for FSX and its a total nightmare, it has acted like a virus on my computer scrambling my scenery and also when I try to fly too and from any other airports I have it ruines everything

I have completely uninstalled it and still if i make a flight and try and alter anything on my toolbar, weather, gates anything then either the scenery is an unrecognizable jumble or airframe can be seen or screen blackens out,and its the end of the flight

 

I wonder if anyone else has purchased this product and has had any problems and may suggest a solution.

I haven't uninstalled my FSX or PMDG yet, i'm still so angry and sick this product has ruined my flight sim.

I have contacted Flightbeam Studios and waiting for advice, but hope someone here can help me restore my FSX

 

Many Thanks

    Richard

I have all there airport and there installed in FSX and P3D. No problems at all.

 

Sorry. Sounds like a re-install of fsx to me. But before you do delete you config and let it build a new one. sometimes that fixes a lot of problems.

I also have all of FlightBeam studios airports installed and have had zero issues with them.

 

Maybe you can describe in more detail what exactly your problem is. Are you getting a CTD? Did you change anything in your CFG?

[Constantine 16]

Hi can't add more I personally haven't altered my CFG  screen blacks out scenery is scrambled and even after it was totally unistalled it has left this effect on all my other flights, i'll run a virus check never ever had this problem prior to this install

                       Thanks

I've certainly never heard of this happening to any customer. Also, I can assure you there is no "virus", if that were the case we'd be out of business. There's nothing that alters other airports, other aircraft, etc. 

 

It sounds like your CFG is corrupted. Back it up, and remove it from it's location to allow FSX to rebuild a new CFG, and see if the problem persists. 

 

You can follow-up with our support email, since I don't check the forums here too often.

Richard - I had to read your post several times before I "think" that I understand your issue. To me it sounds like artifacting - graphic spikes, big triangles, lines flashing all over the screen.

 

Please put your system specs and cpu speed (overclock?) in your profile, so that it appears under your Avatar. Then - copy and rename your fsx.cfg to "Richard_fsx.txt", and attach it to a reply, using the "More Reply Options" (bottom-right). Follow that by posting a screenshot of your Inspector settings, please!

 

No-one here is a mind-reader, guessing is time-wasting, and the only way anyone can give you a decent answer - is when you show us how your system is configured.  - OK!

 

Thanks,

I bought KIAD last week..no issues, awesome performance and realism. Sounds like maybe you have some pirated software in your fsx install or other area in your PC,lolol.  I had a friend with these issues because he had some pirated software in his computer.

Thans PJ sorry for the big words, I wouldn't want to make you think too hard !

 

i'll concentrate on the relies that read my message and offered some non sarcastic advice, but thanks anyway.. priceless!

Hi Guys thanks for the advice, looks like i'll be spending a day deleting and reinstalling my FSX, airports and all manner of other things, and praying that works, but thanks for the kind inputs guys much appreciated !

That is uncalled for Richard. If you only knew what support Paul provides on the Avsim forums, you would think again about what you just posted.

[Constantine 16]

well before you dance to his defence look how he has responded to my call for help, hope you had better luck and attutude from him.

[ubersu 78]

Flightbeam has their own support forums.  You have a unique issue on your system and it clearly is going to take a lot of time and effort to work out.  I suggest you get in touch with Mir as he suggested.

Paul was simply suggesting an OOM, but to nail it he requested some configuration info from you and for you to reset your fsx.cfg to a more conservative condition.

 

Looks like the best piece of advice in your thread so far.   B)

[willywonka 36]

Do you have HIGHMEMFIX in your cfg? You said you haven't touched your cfg so probably not.

 

It sounds like video card overheating too.

Also, it never hurts to flush your scenery cache and your facilities cache in your ProgramData folder.   Also, let FSX rebuild your shaders folders in your Appdata folder.    This has fixed CTDs and glitches for me in the past and I consider it basic FSX maintenance with a lot of add-ons running.

[Constantine 16]

I tried  placing the FSX Config somwhere else and deleting the folder there that didn't change the situation except now I've lost all my PMDG liveries looks like a stab in the dark and waste a day uninstalling and Installing FSX again would take forever trying to guess and do an autopsy on every aspect of my computer, FSX so i'll see if a reinstall will rid the effects of the flightbeam KSFO

download and see what happens.

Anyway thanks for the suggestions very helpful
