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.

  1. I am despairing. Every second or third time, as I am programming the MCDU in the 737/800 NGX from PMDG with P3D V3.3 as the Simulationsoftware, the Simulator crashes without any failuremessage. Then I have to start the Task Manager and to end the process of the P3D, cause the Software does not quit by itself and the Screen fades to grey, so that I can not operate any other function in the P3D. It is very frustrating, if I want to fly, but the P3D crashes. My System is a Win10 home System with the Simulationsoftware and some Addons. These are the Simulator P3D and the 737/800 NGX from PMDG, Active Sky Next, ORBX Addons, Topcat and PFPX. Some other Sof…

  4. This June I bought new PC parts and built a new PC. I installed P3D v.3.3 and after few days I installed the just-released hotfix 3.3.5. During this month I have flown five flights, but I have landed the plane zero times -- I have never been able to fly to the destination due to this behavior: 1) Everything is fine, cruising at FL370 in 2D cockpit 2) I switch to VC, whole screen is black. 3) I change to spot view, it's also black. 4) P3D continues to fly and work, as I can hear the engines, and I'm able to disconnect the autopilot and trim the aircraft. (I can hear ap and trim sounds.) 5) Back to 2D, which has also became black. 6) Everything is black in P3D, win…

    Hello all, First of all, I am quite new to these forums and sorry for the very, very long post... I have sine 2-3 weeks a huge CTD-problem, which a can't solve... The most time of the flight everything works fine but sometimes P3D suddenly freezes. The only possibility to close P3D is via the Task Manager. When P3D crashes, dxdiag.exe shows up in the ProcessHacker for some seconds. Starting dxdiag manually shows no errors. There is no entry in the event viewer. When P3D crashes the dxdiag process shows up for some seconds. The video card memory is not full. The GPU temp is around 60 - 65 °C and I have a 750 W power supply. Even a complete clean inst…

  11. Hi, I've been using flyinside VR and the aerosoft catalina now for some time without issue. However recently changed graphics settings (lowered them) to get a more smooth and pleasing feeling sim experience. Now I seem to get crashes after about 10 minutes of play time, (often before even that). Unsure what the cause is as I've tried changing settings back to no avail, and am now stuck and if anyone could help it'd be much appreciated. P3D version 3.3 (updated to see if it fixed the issue, it didn't!) Using latest version of flyinside. Also Orbx ftx global, vector and australia (flying in aus at the time) I'm not sure if its P3D or Flyinside causing th…

  12. I have recently been getting a consistent sim CTD with this plane on takeoff at a number of airports when using the FMS. I am trying to determine if it is isolated to my computer or if others experience the same. I would appreciate it if others with this aircraft would try this short (due to crashing) flight and report back on this thread. The Flight Plan is KLAS 25R BOACH6 HEC RIIVR2 KLAX. If it is going to crash it will happen before you get to the second way point so it is a quick test except for initially setting up the flight. I only get the crashes using the latest Navigraph updates (1605 and 1606) combined with the latest FSUIPC versions 4.950 or later. Wh…

    My FSX ran flawlessly until recently started getting blue screen crashes. They have become standard after 15 minutes of flying the NGX with ASN. When the blue screen appears, there is a message up top that says " A Clock interrupt was not received on a secondary process or within the allocated time interval" Then a crash memory dump is performed and then I have to restart the computer. I have not been able to fly for more than 15 minutes for several days now. Any help would be appreciated.

  17. Yes, another one of these pesky posts! I have looked through the forums enough but cannot figure out what the hell is suddenly causing these. For the past 3 days or so, these keep popping up in various situations. Here's a list of a few things that have been modified/added roughly the time it started first happening: New LevelD-Skyspirit 767 merge, works perfectly fine considering I did EGCC-KJFK with no issues. Used Full Environment 9 (fe9_v1_3.zip) and replaced sky, water, sun. I did not replace clouds. Has worked fine and not CTD'd instantly on startup. Tweaked some fx_strobeh lights I had setup for airbus and boeing AI, which have always worked since I started …

    Curious if other people having same issue's in Win 10. FSX crashes when using Instant Scenery. FSX crashes when going from day to dusk or night or dawn. FSX will crash when you install a new mdl. Will FS Steam correct these problems on Win 10? Does FS Steam have aircraft carriers in it like FSX Acceleration? Thanks

    Hello All, I'm running into the issue where every time I load the Seminole in FSX:SE, without fail my computer will bluescreen within at best 15 min. The audio will constantly loop the same tone it just played over and over in this annoying buzzing effect and I will get a blue screen and the message: THREAD STUCK IN DEVICE DRIVER.

Running windows 10, 4790K, GTX 970 Nothing new has been added in the last week or so. Was working on FSUICP macros last few days but thats about it. I updated the client to version 3.3.5 and this allowed me to activate and the sim started but everything was drawn very slowly. I let it finish and then restarted and it crashed to desktop just as before. I have looked through the long list of posts, not sure where to start.

    I have been having an intermittent problem, where FSX-SE freezes its graphics completely yet the sound carries on playing (engines, environment etc). It is not the 8 min 15 freeze as it doesn't unfreeze and the only way to close FS is via Task manager. I run FSX-SE in windowed mode and the mouse curser does not show over the FS window, only over the desktop part of the screen and the windows taskbar. I have Orbx Global, Vector, Europe LC and England installed. Using W10. I also use ASN, Rex Direct + Soft Clouds, Radar Contact, AI Smooth and AISeperation, and also AirTraffic Manager to limit AI to 100 aircraft. There is no problem with OOM as I had more than 1GB free when…
