Hello all! I'm hoping somebody will be able to help me with this crash.
I recently had a new PC built specifically for FSX use. I installed FSX, Acceleration, and a few addons normally. I also had my fsx.cfg file tweaked using Bojote's tweaker tool. I had a little trouble getting through airliner flights initially but it seemed to get sorted out. I had a good 2 weeks or so where I would fly at leaset once a day and never got a CTD until recently. After researching (googling) the fault name, I came across a "workaround" in FSUIPC4. I installed it, ran a couple flights and it seemed to work until about a week ago. On a flight from KJFK (FSDT) in fair weather I got one during preflight, then restarted and was able to complete the flight to KFLL (FSDT). I then started a flight to TJSJ, where it crashed during preflight. This is where I began to log the crashes. Tried again, and was able to make the flight to TJSJ, but I then crashed on very short final (about 10 ft above the runway). I then lowered some graphics setting (autogen from extreme to dense) and tried the same flight the next day no problem, but then leaving TJSJ for KMIA, I crashed on preflight. Then fsx wouldn't even open to the menu, and would sometimes crash when choosing aircraft, or weather. Got it to load at KMIA (default) and yet another crash. To troubleshoot, I tried updating my Nvidia drivers, re-installing FSUIPC4, re-installing FSUIPC4 as admin, and rebuilding a new fsx.cfg, I'm not sure what else could be causing this. All CTDs were gd3.dll fault. Please help, I miss my happy flights, and I really would love for this great sim to work.
