Simviation Forums

Has anyone experienced this happening and if so any solutions.
I have FSX Acceleration running in Intel I5Duo Win8 .Have upgraded video card (GTX66TI ), RAM(16Gb) .
Had the same problem in Win7 before my new bits were added .thought I may have solved it but alas no.
It can happen anytime and does not seem to be dependent on workload of the CPU .
The actual msg is "Flight simulator has stopped working and needs to close ",then goes into the usual checking for a solution mode with no result. I close it and start again. There are no details shown as to the reason for the stop working .
Of course this always seems to happen during the good bits.

This happens to me too. By all means try to fix it .....  but it happens with virtually every program I have in every device I have, at regular intervals. Technology fails. Of course there is a reason .. but if it only happens once in a while, you have to work out if finding a fix is worth the effort.
