Hi,

I have a black screen upon starting FSX where the spinning airplane should be. When I select another plane, (screen still black) and click run, everything loads, you can here sounds of the plane running and cockpit sounds but still a black screen. I've read threads on this subject and so far I've: 1) updated my graphics drivers 2) deleted the FSX config. and let FSX build a new one. Those didn't work. Before I try doing a FSX repair, which I don't want to do ( I just did an complete FSX reinstall recently), does anyone have any suggestions of things I might try? Thanks so much.

 

Brian-

Do you have photoscenery?  This always happened to me because all photoscenery, even photoscenery you are not going to be flying over, is loading and that takes up a massive amount of resources.  If you haven't already, I would download SceneryConfigEditor and load only the scenery you plan on using during your flight session.  Of course, a bad tweak will do this but you said you rebuilt the Fsx.cfg and that should resolve that.  Same with too high Fsx.cfg settings.  A rebuild of the fsx.cfg will fix that but you have done that already.  So it can only be the scenery loading in the background.

 

Best regards,

l tried disabling photoscenery as suggested. Still no. appreciate you reply though.
