Crash To Desktop (CTD) Forum

CTD's are a simmer's nightmare. This subforum is established to specifically discuss CTD's. Please do not place CTD messages in the main FSX, FS9, or P3D forums. If you do, they will most likely be moved to this forum.

    Hi,Have Wilco/FeelThere lost the plot with this product?I purchased the Deluxe version a few days after it's initial release.BIG Mistake!First off, I would not run on Vista, even though Wilco had a big Vista compatible logo on the information page of the website. Once I got it working it started to crash FSX at random intervals.I contacted Wilco about it and their reply was, it works for us, you must be doing something wrong! Really Helpful!!!!!Then I got onto FeelThere about the problems, they said they had never tested it under Vista and would not support it under Vista, so talk to Wilco. Again, really helpful. After a lot of digging on the web, I managed to contact Vic…

    Whenever I close fsx using vista 64 I get a message saying fsx has stopped working. The mod name is appcrash. Why is this happening even if fsx is running and does not actually crash? I have noticed that my textures area also horendously blurry compared to they way they were in xp.

    Suddently during a flight i loose the ability to use the mouse. The curser turns into a plus and clicking is history.I have experienced this with Level 767 , Wilco Airbus vol I and CLS A340.In this forum it is mentioned that the navigational data can ctd something.Because my AIRACS are not up to date.

    If you have been experiencing CTD events and system reboots when using add-on aircraft try the following:1. Install the latest DirectX updates: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/directx/default.mspx2. If you have a PCI or PCI-E graphics adapter disable the DirectX AGP Texture Acceleration using the DirectX Diagnostic Tool (start>run dxdiag)3. Reduce DirectX Sound Acceleration values: i.e., No Acceleration; Basic Acceleration; Standard Acceleration, Full AccelerationMy Experience:I have finally gotten past the Activation and Re-installation nightmare with FSX thanks to the wonderful fix/tool Microsoft has provided.My next hurdle with FSX was tweaking it to run smoothly. …

    Hi there,I've never ever encountered CTDs, especially on my new high-end machine until nowadays. The funny thing is that it happens ONLY when I fly somewhere over Greece, or there's a point near Cyprus called APLON, where the sim stops with Vista giving the message: "MS flight Simulator 9 has stopped working" or so, restarts the sim, but no error message, log or anything that I can look up.It happened once on approach to LGAV and once at LGTS, but next time these flights were OK, and I was able to land. At APLON it always stops. I have HSP Greece LGAV installed as well as GAP LGTS and LGRP. I'm wondering whether it's a greece scenery related issue that I'm not aware of. N…

Then, after I click to select the add-on aircraft, I get a CTD. This does not occur with the default aircraft.Can somebody help me?Thanks for reading,glassb

    Can anyone explain, is there a subtle difference between CTD, and the screen going black and the computer rebooting, only my PC does the rebooting scenario now I've installed SP1. I've read most messages on the subject, and I followed advice from AltimateOne posted 13/06/07 who got a complicated in-depth email reply from microsoft, involving msconfig and regedit/defrag. I believed this had fixed my problem because I had been flying on and off the past few days totalling approx 7 hours, but today I flew for 35 minutes and then the computer rebooted. I was not changing views at the time it rebooted. Many people give reference to the file msvcr80.dll but I am now not gettin…
