SteenPedersen Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Hi I just got a new computer and everything is new installed. FS2020 and ESMS When trying to load ESMS the sim, simply crashes to desktop. Any idea why? I tried to delete the airport and download it again, but it doesnt make any difference. I have tried with multiple aircrafts. BR Steen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Hello, welcome to the forums. Do you have any other addon scenery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteenPedersen Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 Hello Thanks. Yes, I have EKCH, EKRN as the nearest and then LOWI, EKBI, some German and EGLC. Before I installed my new PC, I didn't have any issues with ESMS. BR Steen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Hello, can you try renaming your Community folder to CommunityX and then create a new Community folder and add just ESMS to it and see if it still crashes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteenPedersen Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 Hello The community folder is empty. I run the Steam version and have bought all my add ons in the "Marketplace". Then everything is placed in the Flightsim\Official\Steam folder a total of 253 folders here. UPDATE: I just "deleted" my 3rd party airports and only installed ESMS and it still crashes during loading. If I try to fly to the airport, it crashes around 10 miles from the threshold :-) BR Steen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteenPedersen Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 Now I have uninstalled FS2020 totally and will reinstall it and start with only ESMS - I will update your as soon as its done with the 172GB :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteenPedersen Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 Hi again I reinstalled FS2020 completely and only installed ESMS - still crashing during loading. Hopefully you will be able to help. BR Steen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 Hello, I am not sure that uninstalling and reinstalling deletes the cache, so if you use one, can you try without it? Also, you could try deleting the Content.xml file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteenPedersen Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 Hello I am not sure where to locate the content.xml, but when uninstalling, both the Community and Official folders are removed from the disk. So unless it is placed somewhere else, it should be a clean reinstall. BTW, is it still version 1.0.0.0? Thats the version I have of ESMS.

SteenPedersen Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 Hi again I didn't know about the cache. I pressed "delete" and now I can load ESMS Now it is "off". Should I leave the cache off? Thought the time with nerding with the sim was over. I feel I am back in FS9 now. Just want it to be plug and play :-) Thanks BR Steen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donka Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 It’s recommended to delete the cache between updates. I would enable it again and test and hopefully it is resolved- it’s easy enough to turn it back off if the issue appears again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know the default setting? I didn't see if it was "off" before I pressed "delete" or if it was turned off because I deleted the cache :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donka Posted April 29, 2021 Share Posted April 29, 2021 I don’t recall the default setting but I would recommend enabling it if you are not experiencing any issues with it as it is essentially caching the most recent locations which is helpful if you fly the same regions frequently.

SteenPedersen Posted April 29, 2021 Author Share Posted April 29, 2021 Thanks. I have enabled it again and gave it 100GB. Just tried to start with the CRJ in ESMS and everything works again :-) Thanks both for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
