TNCM crashes FSX

**eagleworks4u** · 09-29-2011, 12:23 PM

Help can anyone give me some ideas on how I can fix this problem TNCM location crashes FSX when I load it. I uninstalled my add on scenery files thinking they got corrupt somehow. It still crashes. This is such an awesome place and a great place to get away!!!!

There could be very many reasons why this is happening; although whenever this sort of thing happens to me and I'm certain the scenery is fine and it's just the sim being stubborn, i'll load the default flight in the area the sim is happy (i.e. doesn't crash). Once the flight is loaded 'slew' the plane to TNCM (use the top view, zoom way out and have your gps window showing - you can get there fast and easily.)

Then once in the area, yes, it'll be blurry as hell, just pause the sim and let the textures come together. Save the flight as the default flight and see if that helps.

Sometimes the sim just doesn't want to load so much 'new' scenery at one time - so my trick is to do that.

You might want to check through the *.bgl files in your "addon scenery" folder to see if there's something in there that may be giving you a problem.

Does anyone know what the base files should be from a clean install I saw St Marteen folder in the Scenery/Cities Folder and should there be any thing in the add on scenery/scenery folder for tncm

Which St.Maarten (default/addon) are you talking about anyway ?

Try "unchecking" the default St. Maarten in your scenery library and reinstalling TNCM. See if that helps

I tried what you sugggested unchecking" the default St. Maarten in your scenery library and reinstalling TNCM still keeps crashing any other ideas

Eagleworks4u,

First, Is this Flytampa's TNCM? Also, what it sounds like to me is there is a possible texture issue conflicting and causing the crash. I see that you have Win 7,when you are installing do you have all the admin rights set within Win 7?
Another question as far as your setup, do you have FSX on a seperate drive(i.e. D drive instead of the "C" drive)?

Sorry for all the questions but it will definely help determine where the problem might lie...

Regards,

No Flytampa's TNCM... Yes admin rights set within Win 7......FSX is on C: Drive. I cant even fly near there from somewhere else its like im flying into Area 51 and they shoot me down figuratively speaking. I removed all addons and all tncm. bgls I even tried unchecking St Marteen under FSX/scenery/cities and rotated various options no luck I dont have this problem anywhere else this is nuts
