• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset 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 aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport 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 terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By 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.

The service pack 1 (SP1) for FsX is now available from the FsInsider website. Make sure you get this service pack, as it improves the performance a lot. And for all the developers around here, make sure to get the matching SDK update as well.
 
.........and the interesting thing is that I can no longer start FSX. CTDs before the flight selection screen :confused: . Seems to be right after it asks if it is OK to load the Instant Scenery Module. Removed the cfg file, rebooted etc but going nowhere.
 
Jon,

Just curious as to your system specs. Had a similar problem on a centrino laptop that used to be just fine.

Thanks George

Just saw that as well :)

EDIT
That fixed it

FSX crash with SP1A

Hi, All

My FSX crashes with the new SP1A.

Does anybody know how to get rid of that?

Regards,

José
 
When in the process does it crash? Do you have Instant Scenery? there is a problem mentioned here
 
My history...

Hi, Jon

I installed SP1A normally. When opening FSX it crasehd.

I uninstalled SP1A and FSX, cleared the folders completely. Then reinstalled FSX, SDK, Old SP1 and the new SP1A. No problem. But when I open FSX it crashes.

I unistalled SP1 A and FSX works (with or without SDK, Old SP1).

I had installed Instant Scenery but there is no reference to uninstall it and all FSX folders were deleted before reinstalling FSX.

Do you know where that tool put its module (Instant Scenery)?

Thanks for any help.

The clls for Instant Scenery are located in a folder away from FSX. I got FSX crashes as did a lot of other people. They occur just after allowing FSX to use the Instant Scenery dll. If you are not seeing that dialog then maybe this is not the problem in your case.
 
Hi José,

I am certain it is an Instant Scenery problem. Edit your dll.xml and set the the <Disabled> section to True:

<Launch.Addon>
<Name>Instant Scenery</Name>
<Disabled>True</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>G:\Program Files\Instant Scenery\InstantSceneryFSX.dll</Path>
</Launch.Addon>

There is a new version of Instant Scenery available at the Flight1 site.

That's the point

Hi, George and Jon

That's the lasting reference to Instant Scenery.

I deleted and it's ok, now.

Thanks, both, Jon and George.

Regards,

José
 
Hi,

I just tested FSX with the fsx Service Pack 1 again and... I am not sure, but I didn't see any emprovements this time (installed yesterday).
Can I test if this Service Pack 1 is there ? During installation there should be made a restore point as mentioned during the install... but nothing to see in Control Panel too. It seems for me that the install was short for a 208MB. And what about registration ? Nothing asked.
Very strange.

Greetz. José.

If you have a registered version of FSX then I would not expect you to be asked to register again. When you first ran FSX after the upgrade it would have returned to the main home screen. If you ran the installer and it completed ok then you can be pretty sure that you have the update.

I have not noticed a great change so far except that FSP do seem to be better and the time taken to open a flight seems less.
 
José,

To check whether the update worked, in Explorer, right-click on fsx.exe and select Properties. On the Version tab is should have:

File version:

10.0.61355.0 (fsx-sp1.20070510-2038)

FSX and SP1 crashes

Folks, just to add my twopenny worth (twocents worth?). I attempted to install over a customised FSX and it seemed Ok, but FSX crashed on startup. I did not have Instant Scenery installed,the only 'extra' dll was FSUIPC 4.0.
After a ful uninstall and the rebuilding of a clean FSX I went for the new update (I understand the previous phographic scenery fix is included).
FSX ran OK and seemed a bit smoother when banking.

Installations of fsx updated AFCADs, scenery and aircraft all OK excepting that one aircraft OK without SP1 now has a semi-transparent body. I have not reinstalled FSUIPC.

When I attempted to install Horizon Simulation's VFR GENX scenery it again caused FSX to bomb out.:mad:

SP1 - friend or Foe. I want the DX10 update, I have the card and no doubt another can of worms will be opened - Christmas will be busy:D

Regards all, Charlie

I have SP1 working ok with Horizon's Gen-X scenery without any problem. I just ran the SP1 undater on my current installation, (which is standard apart from FSUIPC and Gen-X), rather than uninstalling the lot, which is what a lot of people out there are suggesting you need to do. (Though why is never explained.)

Twoo problems

The FSX.exe file in my system, after the update, has the following attributes:

Version = 10.0.60905.0
Size = 2,56 MB (2.691.920 bytes)
Creation date = sábado, 9 de setembro de 2006, 07:15:01 (11/09/2006)

Do you think the file was not updated?

The second problem is that I can load FSUIPC.dll (free version), but the FSX menu option Tools cannot be loaded.

I'm using the code below to load the FSX DLL, but without lucky until now.

Any suggestion?

Code: 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>

<SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">
  <Descr>Launch</Descr>
  <Filename>dll.xml</Filename>
  <Disabled>False</Disabled>
  <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>
  <Launch.Addon>
<Name>Object Placement Tool</Name>
<Disabled>False</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>..\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Mission Creation Kit\object_placement.dll</Path>
</Launch.Addon>
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>Traffic Toolbox</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
    <Path>..\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Traffic Toolbox SDK\traffictoolbox.dll</Path>
  </Launch.Addon>
  <Launch.Addon>
<Name>Visual Effects Tool</Name>
<Disabled>True</Disabled>
<ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
<Path>..\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X SDK\SDK\Environment Kit\Special Effects SDK\visualfxtool.dll</Path>
</Launch.Addon>
  <Launch.Addon>
        <Name>FSUIPC 4</Name>
        <Disabled>False</Disabled>
        <Path>Modules\FSUIPC4.dll</Path>
    </Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>


Thanks in advance,

José
 
That does not look like your FSX has updated to SP1
 
That is very weird José,

It appears that FSX has not been updated but the SDK has. SDK dll's post SP1a will not work with FSX pre SP1.
