Dadtom65 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hi Guys. Sorry but I'm getting very angry with FSX. Didn't know where to put this so sorry if it's in the wrong place. Having a lot of trouble with FSX, this is after a complete reinstall of every thing and this is the second time I have reinstalled FSX but keep getting the same problem and it seems to happen most times when changing countries, but not all the time. I start a flight usually the default one, Friday harbour some times ok and others not , change to England and FSX crashes with FSX has encountered a problem and will close. When checking event viewer it seems to point the the FSX.exe. So like last night deleted the FSX.exe and started again and ok no problems, great. This morning carried on installing Europe areas started FSX and bang same problem, deleted FSX.exe and started again and crash. I have just started using my boxed FSX as was thinking of going to P3D later as previously the disc's didn't seem to work so whent to the Steam edition. May be I should go back to that one. Nick heeeeelp. Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Just to say this has nothing to do with previous install of FSX-SE, I think anyway as that was on an Ssd and now FSX is on a normal drive and all my drives have been formatted, plus re a previous post I was having trouble getting Steam to install stuff on some drives.

Guest Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hi Derek,I think it's really time to give up FSX and migrate to P3D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hi right just did a 10 minute flight , the basic one and ok no trouble, plus landed at another airport. Selected another small airport same place and crash. Had a look at my FSX.exe and it's only 3 Kb where I think it should be about 8 or 9 is it. What's going on ?. Derek.

papabb Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Derek, I was having the same type of issues with FSX last year.... I moved on to P3D and glad that I did- no more CTD's, FSX must close, etc I think it is time for you as well...... Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Yea think ur both right trouble is money's a bit tight at the moment. Hey ho maybe later. Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripcord Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Derek, free time is also a limited resource for most of us. So for me, having to pay for P3D was less of a 'cost' when I thought about free time as a 'costly resource' that I have been wasting. So glad I did.

Holy Cheese Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Derek, no one else has asked this probably very stupid question, so I'll go for it. You mention above (and I've seen you mention this in another post somewhere) that you delete the FSX.exe - surely you mean the FSX.cfg, don't you? I'm pretty sure that if you really are deleting the FSX.exe then you surely will have problems, since the sim won't start without it? Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Hickerson Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Derek, P3D has its own issues. I have owned 2.5 and 3.0. I stopped using it at 3.3. I am a proud and happy flyer with FSX-SE. I have a homemade PC (GA-Z79X-UD7 TH). I have made only four tweaks to the CFG to include a Tree reduction which allows me to fly into Stockholm without reducing the quality of the scenery. I have a 970 card and 16 gigs of ram. I am an owner of all the Orbx scenery and fly A2A, RealAir and PMDG. I use AS16 for weather. I fly worldwide @ low and high altitude. I fly at 30 FPS. If I fly open FPS I will get everything from 27 to 60+. SE is no more FSX than P3D. Both still 32 bit and both have tweaked their product. I would recommend that you allow SE to remove the install, but before be sure you backup your config. Leave your addons in and do not just erase everything. Let SE uninstall and reinstall their product. Using your saved config file load no more than two tweaks at a time and remarked them out by using the // after the install of that tweak line. Make sure you use a keyword so you know it is your remark. I would only add a tweak at first which SE support recommends. They have an excellent support for their product. SE is a different thing! All the best, Larry ( a user of Microsoft FS since 1994) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Been having the same problem for a few month myself. I just live with it as after the first CTD the sim works as advertised on the 2nd go-round. If there ever is a fix/reason found I sure would be grateful. As for tweaking the FSX.cfg I have exactly 2 tweaks TEXTURE_BANDWITH_MULTI=80 and HIGHMEMFIX=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hi Jack yep your spot on, I keep blaming my mistakes on my age then you can getaway with it. Spud never thought of trying it again, might give that a whirl. Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 OOPS! I lied, also have DisablePreload=1 from an old ORBX reccommendation in the FSX.cfg. I found that I had inadvertently entered two slash marks preceeding a comment after the tweak backwards (\\ instead of //). I corrected that and so far the sim seems to be stable without crashing when I attempt to change locations via the Goto Airport screen. If I notice a return to the old unstable behavior I'll let you know. Might want to go through your FSX.cfg file with a fine tooth comb for any such gaffs. Oh, Yeah, I'm blaming it on age also!!

Dadtom65 Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hi Guys. Think found some thing else besides showing FSX exe and it all so says fault path some thing about Windows uiautomation dll and a long number . Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think found some thing else besides showing FSX exe and it all so says fault path some thing about Windows uiautomation dll and a long number . Derek That's exactly what I wanted to propose. Do you have the proper UIAutomationCore.dll in your FSX root folder? I have version 6.0.6001.18000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hi bvdboomen will check it out in the morning, think my number is different. Though I thought that this was more to do with Win 7 than Win 10. Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 Just realised when checking my first post the error report did say about the FSX.exe , so why did I delete the cfg. They are not the same thing. Perhaps it has got to do with uiautomationCor.dll after all. As I said will check it out. Derek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadtom65 Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hi where is that uiatomationcore.dll , I've looked in the main FSX core folder where the others are like controls and other dll are, and there's nothing there. There's a Ui.dll ,take it it's not that, so perhaps that's why FSX keeps crashing. It's not in where the cfg is no ?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvdboomen Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Maybe that's the problem; the missing UIAutomationCore.dll in the FSX root folder as I stated before. Just copy Nick's attachment in the FSX root folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadtom65 Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Or perhaps that has nothing to do with FSX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haw-Boo Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hi. If you are still struggle with that DLL, I can put it in google drive for you but you would need to drop me some contact details privately? The location of the DLL should be something like "..\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\FSX", do NOT use from anywhere else! David.

Nick Cooper Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hello Derek, DO NOT TOUCH the Windows files, you will just open up a new bag of worms. The file I attached should download via your browser and should be put ONLY into your FSX folder. If you still can't download it, look in your FSX-SE folder, there is one there already.

Dadtom65 Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hi Nick. Yes just found out not to touch that one and tried download but as I said page not available. I have deleted all FSX-SE so don't think it will be anywhere on my system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Derek, it's a download link, not a link to another web page. Whatever you do when you download files, do it to that link and save the file to your PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting post. @spud I have found that FSX:SE does not like changing Locations. I always end one flight, then start a new flight in the new location and never have an issue (well this issue anyway (;D.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadtom65 Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 Hooray all working now with that dll fingers crossed no more trouble, now I can continue downloading the rest of my Orbx items.
