March 9, 20197 yr Long time listener, first time caller here. I am running FSX-SE on Windows 10 using AS16 and Orbx scenery (North Island and South Island, NZ) as well as a handful if addon aircraft and Orbx Traffic. I have a saved flight which I have been chipping away at for some time which, in it's current state, is the Just Flight De Havilland Devon, cold and dark on the apron at Dunedin Airport. On completion of loading this particular flight, after about two seconds, I get the blue spinning circle and a freeze for about 20 seconds before getting the AS16 "Cannot control ambient weather parameters..." error message and then the game closes to desktop. This only seems to happen on this particular saved flight. I can load the same aircraft for a free flight on the ground at Dunedin with no issues. I have tried deleting/renaming fsx.cfg, scenery.ctg and running with AS16 uninstalled however still seem to experiencing the same problem. Has anyone experienced anything similar or have any suggestions re a fix? Any feedback appreciated, cheers.
March 9, 20197 yr Administrators Welcome to the AVSIM forums! Sorry it's not on a brighter note because of your CTD (Crash to desktop). Have you looked in your computer's Events Viewer for a faulting module related to FSX? If you look over to the right side of your screen, there is an AVSIM CTD Guide under Tom's picture that should get you into the ballpark as to the problem. One curious question....Is this "saved flight" also your "Default Flight"?

Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!
March 9, 20197 yr Author Thanks mate, appreciate your response. Haven't had any joy so far. Excuse my ignorance, but where would I look in the event viewer to find the specific faulting module? Negative, not set as default flight.
March 9, 20197 yr Administrators Well, let's see how far this explanation flies! Control Panel-> Administrative Tools-> Event Viewer, select Custom Views-> Administrative Events. One of the listed events will be for your CTD. The "Faulting Module" should point to the problem area. Tell us what the Faulting Module is! That will point us in the direction of the proper error, aiding in troubleshooting. BELOW IS A SAMPLE OF WHAT YOU MIGHT SEE! General Tab: Faulting application name: fsx.exe, version: 10.0.61637.0, time stamp: 0x46fadb14 Faulting module name: This is what we need to know! Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x0000ee3a Faulting process id: 0x748 Faulting application start time: 0x01ce0253dc4b69d4 Faulting application path: R:\FSX\fsx.exe Faulting module path: R:\FSX\window.dll Report Id: 9caf77b4-6e50-11e2-8570-3085a99825d1 If there is not one listed: Faulting module name: unknown, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000, you will need to do as previously noted No Faulting Module? -> Remove all of the add-ons, and test the sim. If it works OK, then reinstall them one at a time and test. Be sure to test each thoroughly before moving on to the next Charlie AronAVSIM Board of Directors-ADMIN/Moderator-RegistrarJust going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer.
