I tried flying the C172 over Orbx’s NA and AU regions a few times for more than an hour without any problem. As long as I don’t switch locations frequently ( probably not more than a couple of times) during a flight session, FSX can be run stably without crashing to desktop.
So far I had all Orbx regions (NA, EU, AU, NZ), plus the FTX Global and the FS Global Ultimate meshes (the Americas and Asia and Oceania) installed.
Also, FSX under Windows 7 is not CTD-free as well.Īfter days of trial and error, my FSX can now be played stable again - well, in relatively speaking. Going back to Windows 7 was not my option since the problem wasn’t caused by the new OS in the first place. The case was confirmed after I restored the FSX back to its initial stage via the Acronis True Image backup I earlier made. It didn’t crash at all, not even once during those days, UNTIL … Orbx’s FTX Global was added to the system.
To my surprise, in the first few days after FSX with Acceleration was installed under Windows 8.1 on my new computer, the simulator not only performed smoothly without the need of any tweaks but also ran sturdily. And I was prepared to encounter all sorts of unexpected FSX problems plus the notorious crash-to-desktop (CTD) issue. Frankly speaking, I was really a bit nervous about my bold decision of upgrading to the new OS. I could not do steps 4 and 5, because none of my 3 disks include SP2 and its installler.FSX is prone to crash under Windows 8 - a lot of people reported that on the Internet, even though there are still many positive feedbacks about the combination.
Install the Acceleration SP2/XPack SDK using sdk.msi, (dated, size 216,929KB). Up to here, I had no problem: I had installed SDK and SP1 too, but then I could not install SP2 as indicated in the last two steps -4 and 5:ĥ. Install the SDK SP1A from there using fsx_sdk_sp1a.exe, (dated, size 165,569KB). Browse to the subfolder called SDK\SP1a\ģ. Which you copied me in your previous post:Ģ. Then, after installing SDK, I went on to install SP1 -continuing following the directions in (FSX) The first thing I did was to install SDK from Disk 1:ĭefault installation location is C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK” Install the RTM SDK from FSX Deluxe Edition disk 1, (see 3.1.1 FSX Deluxe RTM users instructions above)”, To install the SDK for FSX Acceleration Pack OR FSX Gold Pack: “FSX Acceleration Pack OR FSX Gold Pack users Please see the picture that I have attached which shows the SDK-related contents in my Acceleration Disk. My FSX Disk 1 contains SDK (and I installed SDK from it in my PC) and my Acceleration Disk contains SP1 (and I installed SP1 from it in my PC), but SP2 is not in my Acceleration FSX Disk, neither in FSX Disk 1 or Disk 2. Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.Īny other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.īy following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course. Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum.Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum.
Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general. Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum.Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions: But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy.
Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this.
