FSX Steam crashes or freezes.

Recommended Posts

Hello, I have FSX Steam and a lot of add-ons, consisting both freeware and payware. my problem is in every flight, after some minutes, FSX either crashes to desktop without any errors at all (mouse cursor circulates) or just freezes without sound. I am aware uiautomationcore.dll problem, but that didn't solve my issue. my specs are Alienware 13 (first gen) GTX 960M 2GB, i7-5500u 2 core 2.4GHz, 16 GB RAM, windows 10 home stored in a 512GB SSD. my add-ons consists of PMDG, Aerosoft airbus family, ORBX Global, OFX Simulation north america and South america (both are free now :P) QualityWings 757, CLS DC-10 and CLS 747, captainsim 727 and 737, and bunch of plane add-ons I don't remember. I have also flytampa sceneries, some freeware good quality sceneries, REX 4, ENB series. I also use the main menu tab (change stuff in-flight there's a bar at top) in fullscreen mode. if I have to do fly in windowed mode, I can be flexible. to people that say upgrade from FSX, my CPU is too weak to handle any other flightsim, and I know FSX, except FSX keeps being a problem child ☹️ if you have any ideas don't hesitate, since this is so annoying when I do long haul flights when it takes me 30 minutes to get the plane up in the air. Thanks

I can't be of much help , FSX is a distant memory for me ; but here that file you need :

Ok let me try this again.  Instead of asking you how long this has been happening, allow me to ask when did this first begin to happen with your FSX?

One thing to consider since you are on Steam , give MSFS a try and leave your FSX issues in the rear view mirror .

if you read my post carefully it says my cpu is too weak to handle other flight simulators since I tried others.

Check and see if you have multiple sound devices active.  If so, try disabling the ones not in use, and set the one you do use to be the default sound device.

Recent Win10 updates have changed some of the sound handling, so even if you think you have it set right, check to see if Microsoft pulled a "father knows best" on you.
