Rod Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I've a problem with airports loading in Free Flight(FSX) in AU Green. For example Darwin, Gove and Delby load up to 90% then FSX crashes. Tindal is OK. I've loaded and reinstalled AU Blue, then AU Green, installed sp2 to fix bugs and then defragged the computer. Everything works fine in AU Blue. Also with FTX turned off Darwin etc load OK. Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Henare Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Hi Rod, do you have any other scenery installed? Crashes are often due to conflicting scenery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted March 28, 2009 Author Share Posted March 28, 2009 Hi Marty, I did have Ants Aussie Airports for the Northern Territory installed prior to installing AU Blue and AU Green. After installing AU Blue and Green the airports wouldn't load. I thought this might have been causing the problem so deleted them. Then I deleted AU Blue and AU Green and reinstalled them. The only other thought I've had is that when deleting Ants Aussie Airports I may have deleted too many files from the Effects folder Since your message I've gone to C:\Programs\Microsoft Games\ FSX\Add On Scenery folder and deleted the contents of the Scenery and Texture folder. I think this might have had some add on FSX Missions. I also deleted Add On Scenery from the Scenery Library when FSX was running. This hasn't fixed the problem. Darwin, Derby and Gove airports still crash when loading. I'm not game to touch the main Scenery folder because I might delete the wrong files.

Rod Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Would someone please be able to advise how I can identify any conflicting Scenery files.For example what are the default FSX Scenery files and FTX files for the Northern Territory region? If I get these maybe I can identify the conflicting files. As stated earlier the addon scenery files were originally in C:\Programs\Microsoft Games\ FSX\Add On Scenery folder but have since been removed. I've spent a lot of time trying to find any additional files with no success. I'm reluctant to purchase AU Gold and AU Red until this issue is resolved.

markwlee Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Uninstall ALL (FSX and addons) and re-install from the beginning. Something is messed up - a file gone missing when you're deleting? Seeing as there are so many using FTX+ORBX fields+Ant fields+OZx fields without problems - there's something wrong with your install. I know I would also rather install Regions in the order of their production: Blue, Gold, Green, Red but that may be without any basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Venema Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Yep, I'd go with Mark's advice and do a complete reinstall of FSX + Addons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 Thanks for that Mark and John. I've uninstalled FSX plus Add Ons. I then reinstalled FSX plus FSX SP1 and FSX SP2. I haven't reinstalled any add ons at this stage. I also ordered Australia DVD (Avalon Airshow Edition) last night which is due to be delivered tomorrow. I'll install AU Blue, AU Gold, AU Red and AU Green and let you know how I go. Regards Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwlee Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Now, make sure you have the latest Microsoft .net before any installation of FTX stuff. It relies on it (just from reading other help threads here). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted April 2, 2009 Author Share Posted April 2, 2009 Just checked. I've got Microsoft.net 3.5 SP1 installed. My operating system is XP SP2. Regards Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 My operating system is XP SP2. I'd strongly would advice you to get SP3 on your XP system. saves heaps of problems and let's the system run better and smoother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod Posted April 4, 2009 Author Share Posted April 4, 2009 I installed XP SP3 then the FTX DVD. Everything now working OK. Thanks to everyone for your advice. Regards Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
