ACTIVE FSX hangs when alt-entering into full screen mode with Objectflow enabled

[Bert Pieke]

Since installing Orbx SAK scenery, I am encountering a strange issue.

FSX hangs when alt-entering beween fullscreen and windowed mode, and back again.

This happens, even when I am not in an Orbx scenery region - like default KSFO.

If I remove the Objectflow.dll entry from the FSX dll.xml file, the problem goes away. (!)

The strange thing is, that I had Objectflow enabled with earlier Orbx sceneries, without problems.

For now, I am just flying without Objectflow enabled, and FSX appears stable again.

Has anyone run into something similar? I searched for it in this Forum and did not find any matches..

FSX/Acceleration on WinXP32 SP3.

Hi Bert,

sorry to hear of your issue there, haven't encountered this one before so slightly baffled here

I'm just throwing this out there.

My FSX hangs every now and then with any type of scenery.

Only when I "alt-enter" will it solve the issue. Sort of the reverse of Bert's problem.

The only thing I can think of is these issues may be video driver related.

I'm currently using NV 306.23. GTX 560 Ti. Nvidia Inspector 1.9.7.1.

There are 5 or 6 recent windows updates to (Win7) released on 4/9/13 that may be causing errors in FSX.

I don't know the details of these updates but I have been experiencing strange CTD's and the Old "d3d9.dll" error has returned when using the FSX menu items and changing views...etc.

I removed these Updates and Disabled Auto-Update in windows... now back to smooth sailing.

Hi,

there is only one update from 04/10/13 that make trouble:

KB2823324

Uninstall it and the problem with this Win7-update is gone.

Cheers. Friedi.
