Mouldy737Flight Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 So... I've been going trough alot of googling at this problem, cant find one fix. My FSX loads fine, I go select aircraft, put in where I am starting and so. Then I press "Free Flight". After that, the screen just goes blank. I seem to get some error when I put it in small screen, and I cant get it to not start in full screen so I have to alt tab out of it. Its just dark.(FSX Steam) Any fixes to this? I litteraly just got my PMDG 737 so I am kinda sad about this :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 First rule of troubleshooting: Consider the last time things worked. Did you just load something (IE: The PMDG 7370?) If so, remove it and test again. Did the problem go away? If so, reload or check for loading problems. If not, try to find a specific error. Submit that error to those on this board who are sharp enough to help. 99% of the time I discover it was my mistake whole loading, changing, or adjusting the last thing I fooled with before the problem. Nowadays I try to always remember to BACKUP WHAT IS WORKING BEFORE I ATTEMPT ANY "IMPROVEMENTS!" Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow.

evm Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Hi, this can have any number of reasons. First: get it out of fullscreen mode when starting up: - Find your FSX.CFG (on Win7 it is in C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX - Open the FSX.CFG with notepad - Find the [Main] section - In there, change "Maximized=1" to "Maximized=0" - Save it and close notepad - Now the sim will start in windowed mode when you click "Fly now". Second: find out what kind of error you are getting. Post the error message here, if you get one. And check your windows event logs for error messages too. Third: try to recall what you did since FSX was last working. Not only installed addons, but driver updates etc. too. Especially GPU drivers. Fourth: What system are you running FSX on, what CPU&GPU do you have in there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
