fs9/win7 crash to desktop

[jack_ryan]

Hi All,

I'm having a problem with my fs9 installation, but I'm not sure how to trouble shoot it. I am running Windows 7 Professional N.  It appears when I take off to the north from Sea-tac in any aircraft.  At approx 1/2 mile from the threshold I get a crash to desktop.  I also can not start a flight from Boeing field as it immediately crashes to desktop.  I assume I have a bad texture or something but I'm not sure how to trouble shoot from there. I am running Fly-Tampa's Seattle and I have the three Boeing fields freeware installed.  I have removed the three Boeing fields scenery and I still get the CTD. Any ideas guys?

Thanks,
Sean

I would disable all add-on scenery in the area and try the flight with a couple of default planes.  If the sim still crashes you probably have a corrupt default file and a reinstall is in your future.  If it doesn't, enable the Fly Tampa scenery and try again, with a default aircraft (I suspect a corrupt, missing, or misplaced file in this scenery).

I'm experiencing a similar headache with the German Landmarks scenery;  with any aircraft, the minute it leaves the ground there's a CTD.

(BTW, you didn't install to "C:\Program Files", did you?  In Vista and W7 this can cause erratic behavior.)

well it turns out that it has to do with, of all things, the vancouver plus addon, it seems that if I didnt have the ultimate terrain flag checked and was running UT it caused the sim to CTD.
