Hi Nick,
Same result all the time. FSX will not load YBCG with either YBCG or CityScene Gold Coast active in the scenery library - just get the pop-up and closes right down.
I have the uiautomationcore.dll installed, the highmemfix tweak, and the free version of FSUIPC as well.
I had a look at Event Viewer in Windows - all of these crashes point to g3d.dll module (eg of one shown below). I found several posts regarding this error type. I am not an expert in this, but some threads seem to indicate this type of error occurs when FSX encounters just too many textures to load all at once, or sometimes wrong/missing textures and becomes overwhelmed during the loading process, so just freezes, and throws out the g3d.dll error and the pop-up statement saying it's shutting down etc.
Maybe I'm wrong, but seems plausible as numerous users report much longer loading times, at best, with these 2 scenery packages. I was expecting the same longer loading times, but never imagined FSX crashing.

Not sure if you have any other ideas, but rather than keep trying, perhaps I can get a refund for these 2 scenery packages. I have all the purchase info, just need to know how to proceed and who to send it to.
Thank-you,
Milan .....
