Hi, I don't know whether this may help, but looking at the 2 faulting modules, the sim1.dll seems to point to a multiplayer issue, and the API.dll may be a problem with DX10, if you are running that. Looking at these posts, it may be a problem with a texture or a lighting issue. Have a look at the following links, they may be of some help to you, sorry I can't offer any definite answer :( https://steamcommunity.com/app/314160/discussions/0/494631967656716673/ https://forums.flightsimlabs.com/index.php?/topic/6463-resolved-apidll-crash/ hope you can get it sorted good luck

HI As I understand it, Virtual Address Space is the working space for a program to run on a PC. It does not have any relationship to the physical memory or page file on your PC. VAS is a specific space that allows an application to run, and under a 64bit operating system it is up to 4GB, and for a 32bit operating system it is 2GB, but can be tweaked up to 3GB. So from what I can see, everything we load into FSX, basically loads into VAS. That can be aircraft textures, airport scenery, scenery textures, or else whatever you install and run, and this is going to consume memory in VAS. Since we have a limited space of 4GB, we have to be aware sceneries, HD aircraft textures, and so on take up a lot of the VAS when loaded. One of the biggest contributors to VAS usage, is how you have set your LOD_RADIUS in FSX.cfg. This setting alone can offset the VAS usage by a couple of hundred MB when bumped from default 4.5 to 6.5, and to add to the problem, FSX does not free up this VAS space as you fly along,so if you start your flight with add on AC and HD scenery, this could be up to 2.8GB VAS usage to start with, and as you continue your flight, this will slowly grow. If you dont overfly any complex airports or scenery, you might get away with it, but if you overfly any complex scenery, this VAS will continue to grow and you are likely to get a OOM!!!, remember FS does not offload VAS until you close it down! Since flying FS2004, I have always deleted the empty texture folder in my addon scenery folder as I add my scenery in separate folders, and I understand that FS will continue to look in that folder for textures as you fly and will not unload this folder until you quit FS, this in itself will consume VAS memory. I have also optimised most of my scenery and aircraft textures, and have never had an OOM situation since I have been using FS2004/FSX/FSX-SE, have a look at the "Mipmapping and Optimising Textures Guide" at the following link, it does make a massive difference to FSX performance, it just takestime and patience, but it is worth it IHMO https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/470865-guide-mipmapping-and-optimising-textures/ cheers

Hi Woodpecker, Found this on the MS W7 support site, may be it will sort the problem out, Problem You may notice that Internet Explorer opens, flashes, and immediately closes when you start Internet Explorer Cause The most common causes of Internet Explorer crashes like this are toolbars, add-ons, or Browser Helper Objects. Resolution Try resetting Internet Explorer: Close all Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer windows. Press the Windows key + R. At the command prompt that comes up, type inetcpl.cpl and then hit Enter. When Internet Options opens, select the Advanced tab. Look for Reset Internet Explorer Settings. Choose Reset. When Internet Explorer finishes restoring the default settings, select Close. It will apparently delete all your data and favourites, so best back them up first:D, personally I ditched IE years ago and have been using Opera ever since, a far better browser IMHO, good luck Richard

Hi Wim/Mr Zippy You are dead right, I didn't realise the installer was pointing to a Microsoft Games folder in "programme files (x86)", so I changed it to where the FSX folder is on my PC, and wallah, as Mr Zippy pointed out, it is now in my FSX airplanes folder for all to see, so thanks to you both, I appreciate you help:) I guess it goes to show it is worth looking and checking where the installer is pointing instead of just assuming it is the right place:o, even after 12 years with these sims, they can still catch you out!! Cheers Richard

Hi, Hope someone can help with an odd problem with this zip file, "hermes_v20x" I am trying to install Jens B Kristensen's "HP81 Hermes" into FSX, but although it seems to install ok in the usual fsx/simobjects/airplanes folder, it aint there:( !!! I am using FSX SP2, on W10 64bit, and have never had this happen before, the installer finds FSX and allegedly installs it, and If I try and re-install, it gives me 3 options to modify, repair or remove the installation, so I do and try again, but to no avail:confused: I have tried to install it to folders in various locations on the PC, but still no luck, so unless there is a compatibility issue, I am stumped Confused of Devon:confused:

Hi Rayburrow, I used to use VFR scenery with FS9, and although it was ok at height, the lack of autogen scenery took away any sense of realism when closer to the ground :( I like to fly low and slow in the 1940s - 1950s era, and for me the best scenery for that is Golden Wings with the brilliant Radio Range navigation add on, it really gives me a sense of realism and immersion. Golden Wings does mean a second FS install, but the instructions are all included and it is a simple exercise to carry out. You can find Golden Wings at Lyn and Bill Lyons website by following the link below. There are loads of regressed airports and aircraft available for the pre war era. http://www.thefreeflightsite.com/GW3.htm You can find the brilliant Radio range on this site, just type in rr40.zip and have a look, if you like to fly pre-war, you will probably like this, it has a steep learning curve, but seems to me to be very realistic, I love it:) Just sharing a few ideas that I have found and enjoyed a long the way, cheers, and happy simming, Richard

Hi, Thanks for the reply, I had a feeling that might be the case, just have to fly it as is I guess, cheers

Hi, Hoping someone may be able to help. I have been flying the Aeroproyecto EMB-110P in FS9 for a few years without any problems, and it is a great aircraft, and everything works as it should. I have eventually got around to getting it installed into my FSX SP2 install. I have downloaded and installed the FSX compatable version from the library, and most of the VC click spots are fine and work ok, but I cant seem to get the radios and a few other gauges to respond. When I hover over the radio switches there are no clickspots showing:confused:. This only seems to affect the virtual cockpit, if I revert back to the 2d cockpit, everything works fine, very odd. I have checked the panel cfg and gauges folders, but I cant see anything out of the ordinary. The file I downloaded and installed : aeroproyectoemb-110f.zip, and is found in FSX Turboprops. Any ideas?, be great if I could get this sorted, I used to fly a real one back in the late 80s, and this "Transit of the skys" model is pretty good. I have updated the sounds with the TSS PT-65 Twin Otter HD ones, and it sounds great, very noisey! I can smell that avtur now;), get your earplugs out!! Any help would be much appreciated, as I only fly from the VC nowadays. Cheers in advance
