Got most of my "running out of VAS" problems straightened out, mainly (thanks to various posts) by removing ALL photorealistic scenery and AI traffic (PMDG 737NGX, ASX), but now have infrequently seen a light, transparent gray "fog" over the panel and get the "FSX (Not Responding) and FSX hang-up.  Very annoying since not VAS related (supposedly).

 

Has anyone else had this problem and know what could cause it ??

This topic has been moved from "MS FSX Forum" to "Crash To Desktop (CTD) Forum". This move has been done for a number of possible reasons.

• The most likely reason is that the post was off topic.
• The topic could also have contained images or a video that were not appropriate to the original forum it was posted in.
• The images might not have been "illustrative" or "explanatory" in nature.
• The topic could have been moved because we deemed it to be more appropriately placed elsewhere.

Please ensure that your posts are "on topic" and contain illustrative images or videos as appropriate. Do not post videos or images just for entertainment purposes anywhere but in the screen shot or video forums. See our image posting rules here.

Could be caused by a lot of things but definitely memory related. Have you tried moving your fsx.cfg to a temp folder, restarting FSX and letting FSX.cfg rebuild? You may have a parameter in the config that is not compatible with your system. If you have no tweaks, then disregard. The AVSIM CTD Guide provides a lot of suggestions for investigating these anomalies. Rebuilding your config is one.

Thanks, Jim.  I have not had this problem very often, and did not know this was what is known as CTD.  Why is it not known as "FSX Not Responding"  ?

When an app says, "Not Responding", I interpret that as a CTD as FSX is not longer working and you had to shut it down.
