Weird bug when changing views during flight


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I have a weird and frankly frustrating problem when I switch views (side windows, nearest airport tower) and then go back to my main view, see the pictures below:

Sometimes my game freezes and I am sent back to Windows, other times it takes up to a minute to go back to a normal sky, a fully textured plane etc. I tried lowering my settings like scenery density but to no avail. What can I do?

As a quick test when that happens, try going into "windowed" mode to see if it looks normal right away. Mine did that on occasion and it was because of a slow CPU and 2 ghz of memory. I would hit pause for a minute and then switch back to full screen mode.

To toggle between full-screen mode and windowed mode, press ALT+ENTER. Or, on the Views menu, select Full Screen. To display a menu in full-screen mode, press ALT.

 

Do the pause in windowed mode.

 

Windowed mode looks like this:

I see and so in your case you played with windowed mode and didn't have that issue at all anymore? I will try it with that mode and keep you updated. If needed I will post my computer specs here also. Edited by Tarik Pasic

So you never found a permanent solution and you know for sure that it's because your computer isn't strong enough?

 

That was it, pretty much! I had a 2 GHZ CPU and 2 GB memory on Win XP computer.

These are my computer specs, I'm by no means an expert but I highly doubt they are what's causing this issue. ^^

I had never heard of it but if I don't know what's causing this issue then I won't know how to fix it.

 

Also this: "HIMEMFIX does not speed up FSX nor does it keep it from crashing. It does not fix OOM problems caused by other than your graphics card."
