Main screen black

[Meck]

Since a few days my main FSX screen acts strange: when I start FSX the default Trike is displayed but as soon as a choose an aircraft the selected one pops up for a second and then the screen turns black (though there's still the mouse-button as a hand that allowed turning the aircraft when selected).

See here

Anyone had this problem or knows a solution?!


Thx

Mine recently started doing this also except mine is light blue instead of black. Doesnt do it all the time and when it does everything else works fine? For now anyway. Have not installed any addons it just started doing it. I do change my settings around alot depending on what flight experience i want. Comp is kinda outdated. Thought this might be what is causing my problem. It seems to do it when i crank up the terrain graphics for a sightseeing flight, but i still get around 25 to 30 fps in the flight. If my terrain goes up my traffic and clouds go down, always keep buildings at dense and autogen at sparse or normal.

...yes, at least I haven't noticed any other changes. Could be a matter of too low resources (Fuj.Siem Notebook 1,8GHz, 1GB Ram) but it used to work well for the last 2 years.

I also recognized that mainly (or only?) aircrafts that I stored on a seperate HDD are affected, the ones that are in the default SimObjects folder work well...
