Gps Waypoint

[sagamol 0]

when i try to enter an airport id in the gps waypoint box, the FSX freezes and it shuts down. when i use the flightplaner to enter a route, it wont do that, only if i am clicking on the waypoint icon in my gps . can anyone help me get this issue solved. i tried to reload a new fsx.cfg by deleting the current one, but it still does it. i even un-installed FSX and re-installed..it still does it.....i have fsx+accel+ aerosoft add-ons

thanks, Tom

Hello sagamol,

When you un-installed did you make sure that all the files and folders were indeed removed from your system.

Then when re-installing did you check every step of the way to see if the GPS did work, IE: Install just FSX then test, then install SP1 then check etc.

i kept my add on planes i previously installed. and no, i didnt test it after just installing fsx. but, the waypoint issue does work at times, i just tried it again at edwards in a 747 and it let me select a waypoint. then i tried it again later in a p-51 racer and it frooze up. so its not consistent....sometimes it works, but most times it freezes up and shuts down FSX...

Hello sagamol,

I believe there are 2 types of GPS does it consistently fail with the one type and not the other or both.

Hello sagamol,

Select the Ultralight Trike and then open the gps and try the smae with that one.
