    I find that ALT TAB does not work well with Vista 64 and tends to corrupt FSX to the extent that it must be task manager shut down.Making it very hard to start up RC.Solutions? Thanx.

  3. First, quick rant to fsx developers. The world does not use inches of mecury for pressure settings we use millibars. You got it right in FS9, why the backward step in fsx?OK, I feel better now. So in order to fix this oversight I extracted the xml gauges from the B737 cab file and edited the xml gauge so pressure is shown in millibars. Rather then use microsoft's utility "Cabdir" to recreate the cab file again I used a 3rd party piece of software cos it had a nice GUI interface. This all worked fine but I noticed it took longer to load the 737 at startup. I could also cause fsx to crash if I clicked OK before the 737 was loaded fully on the selection screen.Recompiling th…

  8. running FSX/SP2 on XPpro 4GBadd[bufferPools]PoolSize=3500000FYII have a ASUS 8800GTS640MB after plenty of testing of the FSX.ini I come to the conclusion that the Default PoolSize=4000000 affects the memory pool (rather LEAKages) and crashing of FSX, both CTD's and/or the message when Closing FSX "an error occurred" ('you want to restart' etc.)It seems Poolsize affects the memory cache of the graphics pool on the System side of XP. Application/System is devided 2Gb/2GB, unless U use the /3GB switch, that latter creating as many problems as it solves.Appearantly my NVidia 640MB card creates a leak in the memory area (other cards?

    All,I recently purchased an Alienware machine and have been quite disappointed by FSX's inability to remain loaded on here. Any other game (i.e. Crysis in full settings) runs smoothly!Is there some sort of special way to install FSX with the patches to keep it up and running? I really miss this game.Thanks,Chase

    Hello to all. I generally run the FSX smoothly. But after some addons, sp1 and sp2 installed, I encounter the CTD problem after changing the time setting in some airports.I had tried some busy airports (addons and defaults) around the world. I found out paris and london's airports causing the problem. I do have addons in london, but not in paris. I am not sure whether is software or hardware's problem. Before I am going any further, I would like to ask any advice. Any Help will be highly appreciated!I am using Dell Inspiron 530s, dual core 2, E6550 2.33GHz, ATi Radeon x1300, 3GB physical memory, DirectX 9.0c, 80GB free space for FSX.

The company posted a fix that took care of that problem - and also took care of the same problem in FSX.It used to be that certain add-ons (notably MadDog 2006 and Wilco Airbus) would not quit FSX cleanly: if I was using them and quit FSX, the application would crash with the "application stopped working" message. No longer since I installed the update.I cannot post the file here and I am not sur…
