Well, the above was quoted from memory, as it's been years since I had FSX installed. I think it's still pretty accurate, though. This is probably where we need the U.S. Cavalry in the shape of Mr. Zippy to enter from stage right. There is a way around all this activation, stuff, namely getting the FSX Steam edition. Once you buy that, you can have it on as many computers as you want at the same time, and no issues at all with activation. Jorgen

It may be that you have actually forgotten an activation. Here's how it should be done: 1. Install FSX itself (2 DVDs). At the end of the installation, fly around for a couple of minutes in the default flight. Close FSX. Reboot your system. 2. Activate FSX itself with its activation code. Reboot. 3. Install Acceleration. At the end, fly around again for a couple of minutes. Close FSX. Reboot. 4. Actiivate Acceleration with its activation code. Reboot. Jorgen

Interesting. In the simconnect.cfg in P3D (at least v. 5 and v. 6), the example that Rhys posted exists as [SimConnect.3]. Jorgen

The administrator thingy is relatively easy. When you run the installer, you usually double-click on some .exe file, right? Instead, right-click on it, and from the menu that comes up, select "Run as administrator". Setting a program to always run as administrator is also easy. For example with FSX.EXE, right-click on it and the select "Properties". You'll now see a screen with some tabs, select the tab titled "Compatibility". Put a checkmark in the box titled "Run this program as an administrator", click on "Apply", then on "OK" and you're done. UAC stands for "User Account Control" and is intended to make it more difficult for people with malicious intent to cause damage to your computer. I don't know if I'm just paranoid, but as Windows have progressed from Windows 8 and on, UAC has become more and more intrusive and in the way of what I wanted to do, so I searched the web for how to turn it off. After I did that, my computing life has become so much easier. But, I am the only one using this computer, and I am very careful about the websites I visit. BTW: are you really on Win 10 build 2020? Jorgen

As said in another thread, I have UAC turned off, I run installers as Administrator, I do not install anything to C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files(x86), and I run the application's main .exe file as Administrator. Jorgen

A follow-up to this: I am not sure if this will help with your issue, but on my system(s), I have always had UAC turned off, and have not seen any issues because of that. And my feeling (which may not be correct) is that I have avoided a ton of problems because of that. If you turn UAC off, you can just do it for the experiment, and it can always be turned back on.

The "new" exception code is a well-known one, and it means that "something" is attempting to write to an area of RAM where it has no access rights. There is nothing, though, that shows what this "something" is or could be, but in all the cases of this exception code that I have seen, here or in L-M's P3D forums or on my own system, this "something" has proven to be a badly programmed or incompatible add-on. So, you say that this happens after you "change planes". Which plane did you change to? That one will be the prime suspect. Jorgen

It should be possible for you to get Windows 10, have a look here: https://www.google.com/search?q=get+windows+10&oq=get+windows+10&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCDQ1MzVqMGo3qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Personally, I am sticking with Windows 10 Pro for as long as I can. From what I see of Win 11, there are no advantages, only some changes that are not to my liking. Jorgen

Also remember that Windows Updates come out every second Tuesday of the month, at 10:00 AM Pacific time - 19:00 for me here in Germany. When you run Windows Update, then make sure that in Update, under Advanced options, the switch "Receive updates for other Microsoft products" is set to On, and leave this in the On position. That way you'll get the updates to the C++ libraries and the .NET Framework that you need. Jorgen

This is the exception code I referred to in a post above, together with suggestions for a solution. It is very, very important to understand that this code in this case refers to a Windows problem, not a FSX problem. This has to be resolved before FSX con run OK. Uninstalling and reinstalling FSX will not help one iota. And figuring out what the exception code means is no kind of black magic - I can do it, and I am not particularly smart. You copy the exception code, paste it into your favorite browser's search field and let the browser search, then you get the pages I linked to. But here's one thing that is relatively easy to do, and will take you some of the way - with a little bit of luck. Go to the search field on your task bar, and type "command prompt". Then on the right side of the screen that pops up, select "Run as administrator". Now, at the prompt, type this: sfc /scannow and let this run through. What this will do is scan your system files and attempt to repair any errors it sees. Jorgen

You have to focus on the exception code, not the faulting module name. What is happening is that within the faulting module "something" happens that generates that exception code and then drops you back to the desktop. And I would be very, very hesitant about downloading any modules of any kind from anywhere but Microsoft themselves, no matter if it's for Windows 10 or 11. And I was just looking back at your Event Viewer log - the entry you posted does not come from Windows Logs/Application, but from Custom Views/Summary Page Events, and that may be misleading. At the same time stamp, what do you have in Windows Logs/Application? Jorgen

You'll find the topic discussed on this page: https://www.google.com/search?q=exception+code+0xc000000d&oq=exception+code+0xc000000d&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOdIBCDUzNDZqMGo3qAIAsAIA&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 but a good place to start would be here: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/fix-your-pc-needs-to-be-repaired-error-code-0xc000000d Jorgen

The "write to memory" will be detected by Windows and produce an Event Viewer entry with this exception code: Exception code: 0xc0000005 as outlined in a post above. This is not happening for Honus, there is "something else" going on. Jorgen

Rhys, the exception code here: Exception code: 0xc0000005 means that "something" attempted to write to an area of RAM where it had no access rights. There is nothing, however, that says what this "something" is, but in all the cases of this that I have seen, "something" has proven to be an incompatible or badly programmed add-on. You also say "when my flight loads" - I assume you mean when you load a saved flight. Does this then only happen when you load saved flights, or? Jorgen

Frank, some afterthoughts: if you succeed in installing Acceleraion, then do not - repeat do not - install SP1 and/or SP2, since they are included in Acceleration. You probably knew this already, but just in case... Also, if everything fails, then get the Steam version. It installs easily, requires no activation, and is basically the base FSX with Acceleration already included, and as a bonus a couple of bug fixes thrown in. The only drawback to this is its (weird) installation path. Jorgen

Frank, After you installed and activated the base FSX, did you then fly around for a couple of minutes in the default flight, then exit FSX and reboot, before trying to install Acceleration? Jorgen

You don't need TTools. Just put the .txt source files in AIFP and compile them directly in FSX format. Jorgen

You don't even need to find the FS9 files first. You can just select the convert option, and that's it. It does not leave FS9 files behind, it converts them all to FSX format. Jorgen

Try here: https://www.freewarescenery.com/fsx.HTML I use this site a lot myself. Jorgen

But be VERY aware, that not all AI aircraft are intended to be user-flyable, therefore their flight dynamics when flown by a user kinda.... sucks, to put it nicely. In the readme files that come with many AI aircraft you'll see explicit warnings against flying them yourself. That warning is there for the above reason. I'm not saying it can't be done, but just be forewarned. Jorgen

Mr. Zippy again, in the role of the U.S. Cavalry, comes in from stage right to save the day! Jorgen

All you need is the filenames for the default AI traffic, so you can get them out of \Scenery\World\Scenery - for that is where they are. I used to do that when I had FSX, and now I do it in P3D. But I don't have FSX any more, so maybe a kind soul could get the filenames to Honus? Jorgen PS: if it becomes really necessary, then I do own FSX:SE and can install it on my laptop....

For the last couple of days I have been having issues accessing this forum. Anyone with the same problem? Jorgen

I am confused a bit - are you running plain FSX, and if so what version, or Steam? The Steam version does not install under C:\Program Files (x86)... Jorgen

Have you tried AVSIM? Jorgen
