March 13, 20206 yr G'Day I am running: PC2 INTEL SKT1150 MoBo Intel core i5 4670K 4x3.4Ghz 6MB 2xWD 500GB SATA SAMSUNG 8GB DDRiii 1600 3 x NVIDIA GTX770 GPU to 5 screens Windows 10 pro installed last week FXSSE loaded last week no add-ons I installed FSXSE on my other machinePC1) last week and it runs nicely. I installed the same copy to PC2 last week and shut the other machine down after 65mins of running FSXSE. I have applied all the NVI settings as per the avsim guide and tried to apply the changes to the FSX Config file, but some of the items in the guide (ie [TERRAIN]) are not showing in the CFG document. All the resolutions match desktop and sim and its set to 30fps. I noticed that when I first started FSXSE on PC1 there was a long(ish) initial setup routine, but not on PC2. PC2 will open FSXSE via the steam app to the point where I selct 'fly now' on the default trike and then get a black screen with egg timer then CTD. Both PC's ran FS2004 and FSX (Box). I also went through the 'get rid of FSX' rouine in regedit etc. The short version of AppCrashView says its an access violation and the fault module is API.dll, but it might as well be greek to me! Any ideas please gents?

March 13, 20206 yr Administrators I have moved your post into the appropriate forum for CTDs. I have also put your mile long app crash info into an easier form for those that want to view it. That's what the eye next to the Font box is for. Charlie AronAVSIM Board of Directors-ADMIN/Moderator-RegistrarJust going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. 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 13, 20206 yr Author Thank you Charlie, my mistake, thought it was in the CTD section, apologies Mike
March 16, 20206 yr Author This might help someone. I do not wish to devalue all the hard work and knowledge that has gone into the two CTD docs and no doubt they are extremely useful. I applied all the recommendations in both the Avsim CTD guides and got the same result; CTD from the 'flynow' button. 'Access violation' faulting module API.dll. This appeared to relate to memory (VAS) issue, so went through all the system checks, [scannow/chkdisk etc] and it showed healthy system. I sorted this purely by accident and any implication that this results from more knowledge than that required to be able to turn the thing on and off is incidental and unintentional. After 20 hours of frustration this is what I did: 1. Opened steam and logged in 2. Opened FSXSE and went to settings, being angry checked the DX10 preview then 'Fly now' just to see what would happen. I got a black screen and eggtimer. 3. Went to select ctrl/alt/del to get task manager see if it was running or not responding and pressed alt/ent instead. Got a small black screen (windowed). 4. Shut FSXSE 5. Opened FSXSE again, went to settings, unchecked DX10 preview. 6. Pressed 'Fly now' and the sim loaded up and ran - perfectly - in windowed mode at 86-ish fps. 7. Took a deep breath and pressed alt/entr and it opened into full screen, but at about 26-35 fps. The sim now opens in windowed mode and runs ok when switched to full screen..

April 6, 20206 yr Author Thanks Jim, apologies for the delay in replying, been away working at the day job. After applying the unintentional fix above the sim runs fine, but I still have the initial prob that has lasted through FSX (Box)+ windows 7, change to windows 10 and FSXSE. 5 screens running views on 3 GTX770 GPU's. Centre (GPU1), 45 left and right (GPU2) work fine. but whenever I try to shift a view to either of the screens (90 left & right) on GPU3, the sim freezes then CTD. No error shown on AppCrash, I cleared the log and it shows nothing. have tried shifting the GPU's around, with same result. Device mgr says GPU3 is working ok and driver up to date. Scannow shows no corrupt files. Chkdsc shows no bad sectors. Running Task manager and shifting the view shows no usage on the #3 GPU NVidia support say its the app (surprise that!) However having never had steam before, there is a full copy of FSX in steam 'common', but also a full copy of FSX on the same drive under the title of FSX. Should there be 2 copies of FSX, or just the steam one? Regards, Mike
