Just tried now, again (CYWG local time 11:20 AM). Orbx website OK, but can't get onto Forums. Same error for me ...... on three different computers, going on day three ! :mad: Looks like a lot of the simming community is in the same 'boat' based on the many posts here. Hopefully will find a 'paddle' soon ? Must be web hosting error of some sort ? .......... or gremlins

The lights and neon was a manual edit to the snapshot via Picasa ..... Glad you guys liked it ! :smile:

Thanks, guys !

Hi Anxu00, The lights are done through picasa photo editor. Glad you liked them. MZ. Thank-you, everyone. :smile: Happy New Year !

Jan.1.2016 ......... The dawn of a New Year in the Vail Valley of Colorado. A few hardy, extreme, late, .. late night revelers can be seen outside erasing the 'festive side-effects' :blink: with strong cups of 'java'. The 'Party Bus' will soon depart and life will slowly return to normal. Happy New Year from KEGE ! :rolleyes:

Thanks, guys for the kind comments ! :rolleyes:

A Bay Area flight from KFSO to KMOD in the RealAir Turbine Duke V2, featuring REX Essential Plus w/OD, FTX Global and Vector...... Thank-you, for flying along !

Hi Jim, Thank-you, for your help. I will give FSUIPC a try. Cheers, Milan.

Hi Jim, You hit the nail on the head here. Exactly my situation right now - g3d.dll CTD's in Orbx PNW. Thank-you, for the advice, and I will give FSUIPC a try. Milan. (PS. Does FSUIPC come with an uninstaller, or is it easy to remove, ... just in case it doesn't .... for some strange reason work for me ? I couldn't find any info re this on Pete's website.)

Hi Jim, I also posted a similar query over at Orbx in their forums and got the following response from one of the developers : " FSUIPC is a basic essential for FSX. Pete Dowson's dll's and box of tricks make FSX run and let all the addons sing in tune ! ". ... So I will try it (the unregistered version first, ..... if all OK - then will get the full paid version). Cheers, and Thank-You for your guidance, Milan.

Hi Guys, I am running essentially a vanilla FSX Deluxe Edition installed from DVD's with REX Essentials Plus w/OD, UT2, AccuFeel V2, several payware planes from Carenado/Alabeo/RealAir, and Orbx FTX Global and Vector for scenery. My config file has only the AffinityMask, HIGHMEMFIX=1, WideViewAspect=True, ForceFullScreenVsync=1 tweaks. Been running error free like this for months. I have a couple of weeks ago purchased the Orbx FTX PNW Region as a new addon to my existing FTX Global Base and FTX Global Vector. Prior to the PNW addon, I was flying everywhere, including from KSEA to CYVR without issues. Now, for some strange reason, everytime I fly in PNW (the new, freshly added region) I will eventually experience a freeze-up of FSX, followed by a popup which states 'a fatal error has occurred...checking for solution to the problem', followed by a message that FSX will close and restart, followed by a message that smartassembly is required ??. Then FSX restarts with the main menu screen and my flight is 'gone'. Windows Event Viewer always points to a g3d.dll file/module of some sort as being at fault. I only seem to get this error and CTD in FTX PNW Region. I only have Global, Vector, and PNW from Orbx, so far, and no other scenery addons whatsoever. I have scoured various forums and posts for answers to this crash, but no luck.. The only potential answer I found so far was to try FSUIPC ? What is it ? Does it work for these types of crashes ? Is it compatible with my addons (REX , UT2, AccuFeel etc.) ? Is FSUIPC easy to uninstall, should I decide to do so at a later time ? Does anyone have any other suggestions to try ? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated in resolving these CTD's. Cheers, and Thank-You, in advance, Milan.

Very nice aircraft. BUT...is it another Phenom 100 with respect to framerates ?

Thank-you Rudi for your help & prompt reply. I have basically been out of the FSX loop for a few years, but now with a relatively more updated system ( Win 7, Intel 3.4 Ghz, quad core, 16 gig RAM, AMD Radeon HD 7970 etc. ) I find it more enjoyable to use FSX as no more "stutters" on relatively high settings. The only thing is, freeware always seems to cost me more than pay ware ( in time and aggravation ). Case in point was my first free AI traffic add-on. I uploaded it and initially found everything worked fine. Then a few days later, after closer inspection/supervision, I found "black" ghost planes at airport gates, planes dropping landing gears at 30,000 ft, planes landing in residential neighbourhoods well short of runways, GA aircraft props looking like record disks when in operation, planes bumping into each other while waiting for takeoff clearance, overlapping aircraft wings between two planes parked at adjacent gates, unreasonable rates of descent for some AI planes ( 20,000 ft+ in one minute ) prior to landing etc.. This, needless to say took all of the fun of having AI Traffic on FSX, so I uninstalled this freeware, only to find my default FSX AI planes with new "black" contrails instead of the white ( looked like engine fire ). To fix this, I had to do clean uninstall and re-install of FSX. Now all is fine again. I only have REX Essentials Plus Overdrive, but heard nothing but good things about UT2 so will give it a try, as I do not want to invest a lot of time setting up AI traffic in FSX, but want something more than the boring default AI of FSX. My next step after UT2 will be to get some nice old warbirds from A2A ( P51 Mustang ), and some better scenery add- ons ( FTX Global etc.) - but that's a whole different topic.

Does anyone know if UT2 is standalone program like REX Essentilas, so if I need to uninstall FSX and re-install it I would not have to worry about UT2, except to only point it to my FSX folder after a fresh FSX re-install ?
