Hello folks,
I've been having this annoying problem within my FSX. Over a period of time, it would stop responding. At first I thought it was due to having it working backstage while browsing the web or else. I would click the FSX tab and nothing would happen, only the sound and a black screen.
I knew about the OOM problems, but in several cases, my memory usage was at most 1,7gb for FSX, so that wouldn't apply. Also uiautomationcore.dll was installed in the proper version for my W7x64. Affinity mask for a six-core also applyed in the fsx.cfg (which I deleted to reset the tweaks, now I have 3 or 4 of them there).
I knew that FSX would not respond anymore when I saw a message of FSGRW stating that it lost connection with FSX. Normally I would close FSX with the aid of the task manager, and then close FSGRW, and start punching at the air.
Yesterday, it happened again. I was making a flight in the desert with a freeware airplane, weather was CAVOK, therefore my system wasn't exactly struggling at all to cope with it, and is a decent one. Suddenly, FSX stopped responding. Again. Then the little message on FSGRW saying it lost connection with FSX, while cursing at every molecule of air I started to close everything as I always did, just this time I started by closing FSGRW first. Oh, surprise! FSX was again alive. So, by closing FSGRW I could bring FSX back up and continue the flight. I always closed FSX first and then FSGRW, PFPX, you name it. This time I altered the order, and it worked that way.
I searched in the FSGRW's web to no avail, I searched here and there but could not find anything that could relate to my problem of FSX freezing and then be back alive when closing a related software. Could this be the reason?
Thank you for your help and merry christmas!
