on application hang

[lefu]

hi

This might not be a problem for some but its still a bit irritating for me.

 

Maybe an update in windows or something else, but not with FSX coz i havent done nothing in it.

 

every time i close the sim from the "x" (not the "quit flight" mode) the screen just freezes there

no message, no nothing, only a white screen, the las time i waited an hour and it was still there.

i'd like that it gives me an error message so i can examine the event log, but nothing..the event log is just a "hang on app."

 

you have an idea of what it is ?

 

Some will suggest me to quit by "quit flight", but i would it work before and not since last four days ?

Would be good to know what aircraft you are using.

addon ?

Crashes on closing are not unusual. There is no harm to your machine or sim when this happens. Chalk it up to an old program running on an OS it was not designed for.

Yeah, why not just close it by the task manager ? :)

Whenever I quit flight or close from the "x" I always get message "Are you sure...?". So, I guess you are saying that up until recently this message will not display? Just trying to understand your situation.

I have almost never quit the sim by quiting the flight and then quiting the sim.

My FS is windowed so i allways click on the "X" on the top right corner of the window

i get the message (as the attached image), click yes and there is the bug.

But i've recently noticed that even the "quit flight" mode isnt working and the window just becomes white. If i check the task manager it says that FS is not responding.

There may be no fix for this. I always exit the flight to the main FS menu before exiting the program. This gives FS a chance to clean up some memory.

 

Also, some models are better behaved than others. Try a default aircraft which has not been modified and see if it's the same. Also try restoring your FSX.CFG to its original state if you have tweaked it. If still trouble, other than carefully managing your add-ons, keeping ALL your computer's drivers up to date, there may be nothing else you can do except run it on XP or Vista which are the OSes MS tested the program on at release time. The boxed version of FSX will never be perfect.

The only way this works is by putting back my FS to full screen.

quit flight (esc) and quit sim. works ok now :)
