January 23, 200620 yr Hi,I'm so ready to toss FS2004 and get out of the hobby all-together. I have NEVER had so much GREEEEEEEEEEEEEFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF from software in my life!!!I just did a reinstall of FS2004 because I cannot get a flight to finish. I still get the same #### error.visualfx.dll errorI am unable to fly with PMDG's 737 aircraft. I still have to try LDS and see if I get the same thing.Anyone have a fix, or know whats going on?.

January 24, 200620 yr Visualfx.dll errors are often caused by faulty or corrupt fx effects files. These may be associated with specific planes or add-on sceneries. First, determine whether the problem occurs only with a specific add-on plane or scenery. If it only occurs with a particular add-on, uninstall that add-on, double-check that the effects associated with it are deleted from the effects folder and see if the problem persists. If not, try reinstalling the package.If the problem occurs with a variety of add-ons, one of the default fx effects files may have been corrupted. Reinstall all effects files from the FS9 installation discs.
January 24, 200620 yr Reinstalling FS9 won't necessarily remove an add-on scenery folder.Could be a bad .fx file in one of your sceneries. Try a change of airfield to someplace a good 300+ nm distant...Bob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-V L-300Santiago de Chile Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case
January 24, 200620 yr Author A call for a FX file that is not there can cause this also. Look in the panel.cfg of that plane and see what FX files are called for and then check the effects folder and make sure that all are there.In short.... this pops up if a FX file can't load for some reason. A wrong name or one thats corrupt also causes this.Joe W.http://home.comcast.net/~raptor67/Joe_W/Joe_sig.jpg Joe Watson Lake Placid, Florida
January 24, 200620 yr I did a search on AVSIM for visualfx.dll and found several reports of problems with this dll. One indiv discovered his son had overclocked his system and he removed the overclocking and the problem disappeared. You might wish to make a search too and review the threads to see if someone else had a problem related to yours.Jim
