joemills Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Last night I flew using the default setting in FTX Central and everything was normal. Today I started FSX in the same mode and the aircraft on the free flight screen was grayed out and parts separated, I tried again and this time the aircraft was a silhouette in black. Nothing had been removed or added overnight. Any ideas? Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 seems like the bufferpools are acting up, that's the known thing that can cause this "phenomena" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joemills Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 Removed Bufferpools with just the same effect. Not so cheery, Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joemills Posted September 14, 2010 Author Share Posted September 14, 2010 I go to hospital tomorrow for a while, maybe someone will have an answer by the time I get home. I haven`t had any problems with FSX for a long time and this would happen at this time. I hope it does not mean a re-install. Will check replies when I get home. See you lads, Joe.

747-Flyer Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Hi Joe, first of all: good luck and be healthy soon! Can you post your system specifications? Which Windows do you have, memory, graphic card and so on? Your problem could also be the "out of memory" bug of FSX... although it usually happens when people fly complex aircrafts or a bug of the graphic card's driver. Best is to reboot the system and try again. Every now and then it happens. If the problem persists, it might be a good idea to delete the FSX.CFG file and let it rebuild when you restart FSX. This also solves many strange issues. Best regards, Dirk Best regards, Dirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joemills Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 Thanks for your best wishes lads, I came home today (Sunday) in some discomfort but FSX more important, I couldn`t stop thinking about the prob. I deleted fsx.cfg with the same results, removed FSX GO with the odd feeling this was where the problem lay. Still no joy. specs are:- Asus P5Q m/board Intel Core Duo E8400 o/c`d to 3.6MHz 4GB DDR2 800MHz Radeon HD4850 (latest driver) 640GB HDD XP Home I know XP does not support 4Gigs of memory but no problems with that before. Yours, Joe. Yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joemills Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 Hello Bjiorn, Thanks, I tried it and I`m afraid no difference. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joemills Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 I have been searching for a post by a chap who had the problem of the aircraft in the flight screen being dissembled. Can anyone remember where it is? Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenBlade Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Are you using Highmemfix=1 in cfg? B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joemills Posted September 21, 2010 Author Share Posted September 21, 2010 Yes I have Bjorn. Do you think this could be the problem? Joe ps You must excuse my tardiness in replying to questions, I tend to go offline after posting so that, hopefully, there may be some replies to my predicament.

TenBlade Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 Was hoping you had not implemented "the fix" yet, thought it would cure all. Perhaps post your entire cfg so we can have a look? B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joemills Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 I deleted the cfg file last night and set up the default last night. I hoped that would fix it, but no. I have decided to uninstall FSX and and install again and will post later today for some help in doing that. It seems the only way to cure this problem as it seems also that no-one has an answer to it. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
