[Simdone66]

At random times when I'm flying in FSX If I change my view or check my navigation log FSX will freeze and the little windows loading Circle come up and I'll get kicked right out of FSX,I have legitimate copies of ultimate terrain USA,ultimate terrain Europe and ultimate traffic 2 also I'm running the steam version of FSX,I was hoping that this problem would end but it has not,hope somebody can help.

Not much for us to go on there.


Can you list what you have in your computer? How old?

What version of windows are you using?

CPU? Memory? Hard drive size? How full.

New hardware added? Brand & model of graphics card?

Even how long do you fly in one sitting. That too can make a difference.

GeForce GTX 660Ti
i7-2600 CPU @ 3.4oGHz
8 GB ram
2 1 terabyte WD HD's
FSX is running on second slave drive
I uninstalled Ultimate terrain going to start a flight this morning to see what happens

A useful tip there... ...!

Try re-booting the Computer, to clear and refresh the memory each time, before starting up the Flight Sim.

Memory sometimes gets gobbled up after a time of running the computer!

You need to get a wireless keyboard like me that way you can keep it away from your food
I even cover mine up when not in use so it does not see what I am eating.

Garry....I cant figure out why none of my visitors will go anywhere near my keyboard.... ...!

But big fat spiders seem to enjoy spending their time munching amongst the keys!

Problem: Wireless stuff always seems to require batteries.... ...!

I have a Logitech full wave wireless keyboard and the batteries last for months. In the two or three years I have had it I have replaced the batteries only a couple of times. Same with the wireless mouse that came with it. They are a lot more battery friendly now a days.
My son has a older Microsoft wireless keyboard and Mouse and he replaces his batteries more often than I do.
