Greetings,
I have been having a major issue with my FSX Deluxe edition. Everything had been running normally and satisfyingly until yesterday (Thursday). Please note that I observed this issue on Thursday after replugging my saitek pedals (I had removed them to perform a small repair). On Wednesday everything was fine, the only addon I installed was T2G VHHH which I purchased a while ago. I can sadly not recall whether I installed it while the sim was running or not. I performed only one sim start that day.
My sim behaves very very strange and I can't use it at all.
As soon as it loads, the box in the free flight page where the selected aircraft should be rotating is blank (no trike displayed),
When I load the flight, the graphics go mad, nothing is displayed as it should be.
Sometimes, it crashes on its own shortly thereafter with a ntdll.dll or ai_player.dll CTD
Here is what I have already attempted (in chronological order give or take), after reading through the avsim ctd guide.
Rebooting multiple times
Running fsx as admin
Uninstalling VHHH and fsdt YVR
Deleting fsx.cfg
Restoring dll and exe.xml's from two weeks ago
Unplugging my pedals and sim hardware
Running an older fsx installation from an external drive, problem still persisted
Restoring ai_player.dll from the other installation.
My system is old (win 7 32-bit i5-2410 and a gt540m graphics card), but with a lot of tweaking I run very heavy addons with no problems.
Well, since it is now holidays for me, I would more than appreciated any help
