stinger2k2 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Hi and thanks for looking, Firstly my rig..... FSX Acceleration Intel i5-3570 @3.4ghz 8 gb Ram 120 HDD Nvidia Geforce GTX660ti (driver version 344.11) Windoze 7 64 Bit latest uiautomation core dll My Virtual Memory runs at around 3GB Addons: Mytrafficx, UK2000 scenery (although crashes happen in other parts of the world too so I am not suspecting that).Various aircraft (flying the Wilco Citation at the mo) While flying i get the egg timer, then "FSX has stopped working",then "re-starting FSX". It can happen at the beginning or towards the end of a flight. I checked my Event Viewer and the culprits seem to come in two flavours 1) Faulting application name: fsx.exe, version: 10.0.61637.0, time stamp: 0x46fadb14 Faulting module name: ai_player.dll, version: 10.0.61637.0, time stamp: 0x46fadb57 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x00037489 Faulting process id: 0x10a4 Faulting application start time: 0x01cfd589b369d3ba Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\fsx.exe Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\ai_player.dll Report Id: c87a504c-4181-11e4-bf2e-984e49d829d7 2) Faulting application name: fsx.exe, version: 10.0.61637.0, time stamp: 0x46fadb14 Faulting module name: d3d9.dll, version: 6.1.7601.17514, time stamp: 0x4ce7b7b3 Exception code: 0xc000001d Fault offset: 0x00029056 Faulting process id: 0x14b4 Faulting application start time: 0x01cfec9960aa45e1 Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\fsx.exe Faulting module path: C:\Windows\system32\d3d9.dll Report Id: 05ec7198-5899-11e4-a154-c357f41c40d7 Last night's CTD was culprit No2 No1 seems to relate to ai traffic so I am guessing a uninstall-reinstall might help? (I dont think I have my settings too high, usually around 17% Commercial traffic and lower on the light aircraft traffic.) With regards culprit No1 Any help greatly appreciated. regards Stinger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidjones Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Make sure you run FSX from the right click "run as administrator" and take out your ai completely. If it doesn't fault you know it's the ai... that was the culprit. If it does fault then it was something else. DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyroman6x9x9 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Are you using any 3rd party AI addon by chance? As far as the D3d9.dll module, thats a common crash when using DX10 mode in your FSX settings. Are you by chance using the ENB mod? Theres a few other possible causes, one being simply overtaxing your video card.

Merlin0859 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 I had something similar happening to me in another program many moons ago. As I said it wasn't in FSX but another program that used a lot of memory. Turns out the culprit was a bad memory chip. Not the whole module just one chip on the module. This may not relate to your problem but the errors seem similar so I thought I'd suggest it. Hope you get it worked out though. Danged annoying, I know that!

stinger2k2 Posted October 21, 2014 Author Share Posted October 21, 2014 Thanks for your thoughts guys. Just ran a 1 hour flight with ai traffic off, no CTD. I have also realised that I had recently upped my autgen setting to max while i was doing some vfr flying without ai traffic. I forgot to turn it back down a bit when I switched to flying the Citation with a bit of ai, so i am hoping that I was indeed overtaxing the video card/system. I'll run a few more flights with the ai off (MytrafficX which has more ai traffic than standard of course), and see what happens. Thanks again Stinger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinger2k2 Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 Hi, Just reporting back so as to benefit others who have crashes. I have done a few longish (1 1/2 hr) flights since with no CTD's. I am now convinced that I was stressing my CPU too much. I have cut back autogen to "Normal" and reduced my ai traffic a bit too (15% on Commercial aircraft, MYtrafficX). I would suggest if anyone is having crashes, firstly to check their settings in FSX and think about if they had been changed prior to the crashes starting. If they haven't changed then think about if a new addon might be taxing the system more than usual. Good luck Stinger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
