PMDG 777 Closes my game

Recommended Posts

Hello there,

I have a big problem with the PMDG 777. Whenever I select it on the home it's fine, I have tried so many different airports with the same result, whenever I start the sim the bar climbs to 100%, I see a black screen and then I see my desktop. Though there is no crash report on any programs so I am lost on what to do?

Have you tried deleting your config file? What system specs do you have? What other efforts to resolve the issue have you made.  You need to be clear as to the above so that people can help you out :)

I have tried renaming the files in program data, program files and localappdata. And my CPU is a Intel i5 6700k and my GPU is a Nvidia GTX 970

That might be your issue. Have a look to see how much RAM is in use before the application crashes.

I'm not buying into the RAM theory... isn't that what Windows uses the pagefile for?  Just make sure the pagefile settings are left in default and let Windows manage memory

Have you asked in the PMDG forum?

With most things it's process of elimination ...

Does this happen if you select a default aircraft such as the Carenado A36 Bonanza?

Hello there,

I have a big problem with the PMDG 777. Whenever I select it on the home it's fine, I have tried so many different airports with the same result, whenever I start the sim the bar climbs to 100%, I see a black screen and then I see my desktop. Though there is no crash report on any programs so I am lost on what to do?

The PMDG 777 does not load when you start P3DV4.  It only loads if you select the aircraft in the setup.  When you load P3DV4, the first things to load are the modules that load via the dll.xml.  If you load the PMDG 777 at the setup screen and it shows up fine, then it is not the PMDG 777 as it will crash at the setup screen.  So, this is probably why no one from PMDG would respond.

I do not understand - "whenever I select it on the home it's fine".

Many members try to rename the default scenario and save a flight and then try to load the saved flight.  I have seen so many issues with this and I would not recommend it.  I would remove any saved flight from the P3D.cfg and startup with the default.

The AVSIM CTD Guide provides many more suggestions for fixing this problem yourself.  Members above are trying to help but just grasping for suggestions that might help you and they have little or no information as to exactly what kind of computer you have, and what you are loading.  Heck, if you have saved flights in the FSUIPC utility, that could be causing the crashes.  But we have no idea that you even have the FSUIPC utility.  Page 9 and 10 of the CTD Guide shows you how to fix most crashes and freezes in P3D.  You have to investigate your particular crash yourself, especially when there is no crash report or anything in the Event Viewer (which is strange as the Event Viewer records all Events).  The AVSIM CTD Guide has images around page 4 on how to properly look at the Event Viewer to see ALL events in one location.  This way you can see if there might be a computer problem.

I will move this to the CTD Forum.

Best regards,

Jim
