jprism Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Here are the problems I am having with FSX Steam using the computer system below... Lenovo Tower Windows 10 Pro Intel® Core I5-6400 @ 2.70ghz 16gb Ram 500gb SSD Nvida GeForce GT 730 Dell 25" Monitor @ 1920 x 1080 Thrustmaster Hotas X 1 Add On - A2A 172 Problem 1 Start FSX - choose Free Flight - choose A2A aircraft, airport, weather clear - start flight Once the 172 appears, if I Esc to change something I get the message "attempt to call a nill value" On occasion it will return to flight planner, but if I choose again to start flight it crashes FSX Problem 2 If I begin the above flight and take off at a point (10-30 mins) the sound disappears or the keyboard controls lockup. If I press Pause wait a few seconds and the un-pause everything comes back. I am just not sure where to start looking for what to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Pressing Esc to change something??...….changing a parameter in the Sim? Use the menubar to make your changes. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrzippy Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Ok but what about Problem 2 any ideas Something is interfering with your Sim. Outside program, antivirus, etc. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napamule2 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Perhaps that '2.7 Ghz' CPU is being taxed, especially if you have the sliders maxed. But we don't have to GUESS. Jordan King has been covering Steam for over a year now. He covers EVERYTHING related to Steam. Configuration, AddOns, Orbx, A2A, PMDG, etc. His videos are very informative. Here are some links to get you started. He has a ton of videos on Steam.

But I might give it another 6 months and just keep reading up on developments. No use struggling. No rush. FSX Accel works perfect (for me) right now, so why not enjoy it a little bit more while Steam catches up due to FSUIPC, REX, PMDG, Orbx, etc, being reworked to work with Steam. I waited 8 years for Steam to come along so I can wait 1 more year for it to be 'Not Beta' (hehe).

il88pp Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 "Attempt to call a nil value" is an error from an a2a plane. Perhaps the 172, perhaps another you have. Something to do with a corrupt default flight. Read their forums. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
