Simviation Forums

Hi all.

I have searched the forum for similar problems and the search did not turn up anything. What happens is this. In both FS9 and FSX you can either be in the cruise or just about to rotate, or just looking round the aircraft, when without any warning the program will just exit back to windows. No error messages or anything. FS9 has lots of add-on's (aircraft, VFR scenery etc..) but FSX is just as it came from the box.

Thanks in advance

I would say it's either a problem of computer hang-up because of High temperature (graphic card or CPU), or, on another subject, a problem with your sound system.
I explain: when you are looking at your plane and rotate around it, your sound system uses the EAX or 5.1 or whatever emulation for it to make the sound go left to right, or frontto back etc...
A simple hardware/drivers conflict in this case and you get a program to hang up.
Try updating your sound drivers, or decreasing the sound acceleration slider in the "Sound and Multimedia" (or something like that) advanced section in the control panel of windows.

Thank you, I will try that now...

Will report back with result

Reduced hardware acceleration, so far so good. Lasted 2hrs on flight from Spain to Gatwick changing views often. Only error I got was when it was when loading, it said something like 'memory could not be read' so had to restart application.

Thanks

Yes, I get that error sometimes too. I don't know why...  :-?

Hi

You might want to run a few loops of Memtest86.
The site is down right now.
http://www.memtest86.com/

Anyway, try to get it and run it. If your memory has any problems, it will show them.
Nearly 80% of lockups, ctd and bsod are caused by memory errors. It should be the first thing you look at when trying to diagnose the problem.

Good luck

lots of times I discover that is caused by a program running in the background that might be trying to gain access to the internet. try shutting down any background programs that might be running before you start up your sim. Another thing that I do that helps is turn off your modem (be it DSL or Cable) This insures that if a program is looking for the net and sees no connection it won't interupt your game play!

Happy flyings man  ;)
