glw Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 I just started having this problem lately. The program doesn't seem to load the terrain when I am descending into an airport. It shows a basic green "carpet". When I try to force it by adjusting the scenery density, the screen goes white and sometimes I have to quit the program. Following is my pc info; Operating System Windows 7 Professional 64-bit SP1 CPU Intel Core i5 4460 @ 3.20GHz 38 °C Haswell 22nm Technology RAM 8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz (11-11-11-28) Motherboard Dell Inc. 0KWVT8 (CPU 1) 28 °C Graphics HP W2072a (1600x900@60Hz) 1023MB NVIDIA GeForce GT 720 (NVIDIA) 39 °C Storage 931GB ATA ST1000DM003-1ER1 SCSI Disk Device (SATA ) 31 °C 465GB TOSHIBA External USB 3.0 USB Device (USB (SATA) ) Optical Drives HL-DT-ST DVD+-RW GHB0N SCSI CdRom Device Audio Realtek High Definition Audio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ_simpilot Posted September 11, 2018 Share Posted September 11, 2018 Have you added anything recently to the Sim? Like scenery for example? Any changes to your computer? OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glw Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share Posted September 11, 2018 No not really. In fact, i went thru my Addon scenery and unchecked several scenery files that i can live without. The event viewer identified SODE as a cause of the shutdown so i uninstalled and reinstalled the program. I used to have a program called Alicrity? but that doesnt seem to work any more.

mabe5454 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Have you installed FreeMeshX by any chance? Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ_simpilot Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I don't know if it's SODE or not, but are you using GSX? If so, make sure you have the latest SODE. https://sode.12bpilot.ch/ The program you are talking about is called AlacrityPC. I don't really recommend any of those so-called PC optimizers. Make damn sure it's not on your system. You can use Autoruns and disable crap that should not need to be started on boot. But don't untick or delete anything you shouldn't. You can also right click an entry and have Virus Total scan it. You need to first agree to their terms. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns Another nice tool is Freefixer, but don't let the name fool you. This isn't snake oil BS. It will scan the computer and present you with a list of crap on your machine. Most items will have a link for you to research those items. https://www.freefixer.com/ OOM errors? Read this.

glw Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 No i have not. the last thing i installed was GSX update. and i do have the latest SODE, i belive it is 1.6.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ_simpilot Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I edited my post above. v 1.63 is what you want. But to rule out an issue since event viewer specified it, try uninstalling it and fly. See what happens. Under add-ons in the Sim, top screen, what modules do you have? Modules can play hell.

jorgen.s.andersen Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 In case the problem recurs, post your FSX.CFG file here. Jorgen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ_simpilot Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Also, can you answer mabe5454's question above? Edit- I take it by your unquoted statement: "No i have not." Is an answer to mabe5454's question? OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed.

glw Posted September 16, 2018 Author Share Posted September 16, 2018 My config file was to big, 66238 characters. Could that be the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PEPPER321 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 One thing I try if there's a problem - rename your FSX config file, start FSX over again and let it re-build the config file. See if that fixes anything... if not, delete the that config file and put back the original. Note related to your problem, but your PC specs are right on the margins to actually run FSX...

jorgen.s.andersen Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 It does indeed sound like the FSX.CFG might be your issue - mine, for instance, is 13 KB. By all means, follow Pepper321's advice and see what happens. I wouldn't say that your rig is on the margins for running FSX, but it is on the low-speed side.

glw Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 I renamed my config and started FSX. I kept getting a message that couatl was unable to start, and to add the addon folder to my antivirus exclude, which i had already done when i downloaded the updated GSX. While on the ground at an airport, I tried to go to another airport and it started loading, but then it was almost 8 minutes until it positioned itself at the new airport. Maybe i can post my config file in two different replies so it will not be to large of a file. Don't know what else to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRJ_simpilot Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Couatl is the module for FSDreamTeam and FlightBeam airports, etc. You may want to try updating it. https://www.fsdreamteam.com/products_addonmanager.html After you do that post your dll.xml and exe.xml file here. You can find that where FSX.cfg is. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed.

jorgen.s.andersen Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I would really like to see the newly generated FSX.CFG - from your posting of the system specs, I could suspect that 2 graphics adapters are playing into this...

il88pp Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Your resolution is set at 1320x818 in fsx and 1024x768 in windows. Make those the same. Also, set fewer ships. 5% instead of 40. And switch aircraft labels off. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRJ_simpilot Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 I think you have that backwards. The first one is the exe.xml and the second one is the dll.xml. The first one denotes any exe modules. The second any dll modules. I'll have a closer look at this when I get on my desktop. Did you update couatl from the link I gave you? OOM errors? Read this.

jorgen.s.andersen Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 There was only one graphics adapter. But set FreewayDensity to 5 also, and UPPER-FRAMERATE_LIMIT to 30. Then, go here: https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?259352-FSX-P3D-Software-and-Hardware-Tweaking-Guide And follow the tips there to egt the max from your FSX.
