[Getting Back Into FSX]

Hi, I'm another former flier coming back for another taste. Got married, got a new job, bought/remodeled a house.

Looking forward to getting back in the cockpit, and glad to see that the community is still here!

[CumulusX! 1.2.1.0 menus crashing?]

Peter,

Thank you for your quick response, and I'm sorry for bothering you before I did more investigating.

It seems the problem is that the GUI is fairly processor-sensitive. If there is little CPU time available, it crashes. Running CuX! on it's own works great, running it when FSX is even at the menu causes some hesitation, and running it on another screen (no hardware acceleration) causes it to crash. To top that off, TileProxy burns through all spare CPU cycles anyway. WinchX works fine.

I do like having the debug window on another monitor (I'm not that good yet ). So here is what I am doing now:

Launch CuX! manually.

Open debug window, position it on second monitor and resize. Leave main window on main monitor.

Open FSX, press connect on CuX!, move it to second monitor.

Fly.

Thank you for your help, sometimes a little hand-holding is all it takes

[CumulusX! 1.2.1.0 menus crashing?]

Hi. I'm a big fan of previous releases, and just got back into it. CumulusX! will load correctly (via EXE.xml), but whenever I try to drag its window to another screen, or change a menu option, it seems to freeze. Trying again will show the "(not responding)" heading in the window title.

Process for software install:

Installed Windows XP Pro x64

I must admit, I did not play test between the installations. Any tips?

Thanks B21. I'll be sure to check it out. I haven't had time to actually fly, but I am downloading all the new goodies.

[It has been a while...]

I've been gone from the scene for quite a while, real life got a bit too...real. But I'm tentatively re-installing FSX, CuX, SimProbe, the SOAR DG-808 and TileProxy.

This is a new place, yes? I recognize the people, but not the forums...
