Since this morning, my FSX (Legacy) is not opening anymore. Stuck on the splash screen and then, stops working and closes.

I already re-installed it, but i'm still getting the same problem.

Anyone can help me?

There is probably an addon causing this. Did you delete your config file?

I don't think so. I didn't install anything on my FSX in almost a month..

Where is the config file?

Have you tried either deleting the logbook.bin in My Documents/Flight Simulator X files or at least renaming it and letting FSX build a new one?

Yes. Before reinstall, I deleted every file or folder related to FSX

Here's where the location of the config files are:

If you've got Vista/Win 7: C:\Users\(Your Windows User Name)\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX

 

And if you have Windows 8, 8.1 or 10:  Hit your Windows key + R (Or open Run from the Start menu), type %APPDATA%\Microsoft\FSX

 

Note that you'll have to tick on 'show hidden files/folders' under folder options. Otherwise you'll not be able to see these hidden files.

I deleted the entire FSX folder before reinstall on AppData

I will try one more reinstall. If it doesn't work and no one come with a better solution, I''ll give up FSX and buy another flight sim.

I'm not pretend to reinstall my Windows.

I wouldn't think a reinstall of windows is necessary.  If you're going to do a uninstall of FSX I would recommend downloading the free copy of Revo Uninstaller. 

Once the uninstall is done select the highest level of scanning for leftovers ( can't recall what that is titled at the moment).

Also, when you install it again, place it somewhere other than Program Files or Program Files (x86).  I have a folder titled FlightSim Files for all of my FSX stuff, however installing it into C:\Microsoft Flight Simulator X would be just as good.

I have never had a problem installing and running FSX to default folders on every version of Windows since XP. But then I run a pretty much default setup. Boring, I know. 

Eduardo, we know nothing about your computer or how you take care of it. Event Viewer might give us some clues as to what is going on.

It seemed to be a serious issue with my Windows and not with FSX, because other games I had were also having problems.

I ended up reinstalling my OS and the problem is solved.

Sorry for the late reply as I just saw this, but if I can help others with the same problem, so be it.....

I too have had this issue for quite some time. Appeared out of nowhere one day on my Win10 ver1809 build. I ctrl-alt-del and shut down the instance of FSX running then restart it again and have no issues for that session from then on. I run nothing out of the ordinary that isn't mainstream here and keep my system at peak performance, even though I still run an Intel 2500K and a FTW1070 for graphics. Sorry you had to rebuild, but at least problem solved for you.
