Something is messing with my sim

Folks

 

I downloaded the latest version of the Majestic Dash 8. I had issues with it pausing. I checked out the Majestic forum and found I wasn't alone. I narrowed it down to FSX ATC. Often, when it was talking to anyone, it would pause. Hadn't run into it before, and since I wasn't alone, I figured it was a Majestic issue.

 

Nope.

 

Now it's happening with my QW RJ. My current log book has 70 hours with the thing, so if it was a QW problem it would have appeared before now.

 

Something is not right, and it's really, really annoying. The installs lately are:

ASN

PMDG T7 (which has pausing issues, doesn't it? I wonder if they're connected)

Razbam Metro

JF DC-8

CLS 742

A2A Cherokee

AF Anson (not yet flown...)

 

ASN isn't even the common denominator. I flew a test ride in the DH8D using default weather.

 

I noticed it once in the J41, but didn't think much of it.

 

Something is screwy. Anyone got any ideas?

A thought... could something's dll or gau that I've added as trusted to always load be causing the problem? I take it to reset those, all I need to do is delete the lines from the cfg.

If it's only happened recently, then I would reverse uninstall each recent install until the problem went away.  That would diagnose at least which installation was causing the problem and narrow down potential fixes.

Thanks Ian. I took the slightly less drastic approach to start with and deleted my cfg. Using only the gaus etc that the a/c I I'm going to fly needs and not saving them seems to have done the trick for the two flights I've done (one each in the RJ & Dash). It spat the dummy mid fix up and needed me to insert the Acceleration disc to repair a dll. This had me thinking a reinstall was on the cards. But so far so good!
