AaronGraham 185 Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Hi, everytime I select the Aerosoft Airbus X from the FSX menu I get a fatal error has occured, or if I am in flight simulator flying I will randomly get a fatal error. This will be the last in-house Aerosoft aircraft I will purchase. I can run the PMDG 737NGX without a problem. Aaron G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wingnut 60 Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Hello; What fatal error are you getting,and do you have all the updates installed? Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfd 16 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Hi Aaron, Shaun. Arron: I am a total rookie at simming. I was ripping my hair out. The fix suggested by Shaun earlier in the year was to run FSX as administrator. So far, it works for me. No more fatal errors in FSX. Opening as Admin is a bit of a pain, but if you like, you can download a program called Elevate. It's a handy, tiny program that can be run either from a command box or a batch file to open any program elevated. That way you can run FSX from an application launcher or Search programs and files, etc. Write a batch file like this: "Drive:\FolderWhereElevateIs\Elevate.exe" "Drive\Folder\fsx.exe" You may or may not need the quotes. You could even add the folder address to your path variable so that you would only have to type the name of the file (Elevate). I don't know if links are allowed, so I won't add it. The file and its author are very legitimate (not me). So if you google Elevate and something else to tie it to elevating programs, you'll get there. If you run the batch file you will get a UAC prompt in Vista or Win7 asking blah blah. Then you can open FSX without the fatal error. By the way Shaun, this is a bit of a pain. I can't use FPS limiter any longer. Its batch file won't open when called by Elevate. You guys planning on fixing your install so that it doesn't crash FSX? I am new and I mean totally new. But I have several other programs I've purchased and I didn't have this issue until Airbus X. While it seems FSX is clunky and patched together (that must drive you guys nuts when developing for the platform); I don't have this problem with the other aircraft or addons. It might be helpful if you documented the work around with the install. I downloaded the new launcher. Is that the fix? If it is, please disregard the last sentence with thanks. I want to get this up and running so I can learn how to fly and then buy the new version next year (I read that it's a killer). The aircraft are beautiful (amazing work...makes me feel humble just looking at them). Thanks in advance for any reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfd 16 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Well it seems I spoke too soon. The fatal error has come back. I'm going to try a number of the fixes suggested. If that doesn't work, I'll reinstall everything. I'll reinstall Airbus X first. Then other utilities and aircraft. Clean boots for everything. I don't want to give up on this. It is a beautiful piece of equipment. Last resort, I'll go straight to support. There doesn't seem to be a definitive answer on the forum and I don't want to add to the clutter.

gfd 16 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I may have found a solution. I rolled back my installation to FSUIPC and FSX only. Installed Airbus X. Had the same problems with crashing when I ended the session. Got to the point where I couldn't even open the plane. I deleted the trusted info and started again. This time I left the closing session dialogue box open for 30 seconds. I haven't had a crash since. That includes opening FSX without elevated privileges. Maybe a timing issue.

Trevo711 5 Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I've had this problem too a few times whilst flying this aircraft. I've done all suggestions including replacing and removing the uiaautomation.dll file. It dosen't seem to happen on any other aircraft that I own, except the PMDG 747X, which was Aerosoft wasn't it? Any help would be fantastic! Thanks, Trev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronGraham 185 Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 I have tried all your suggestions. I still get a fatal error when I select the aircraft. Aaron G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Hello Aaron, Please can you tell us your system specs including your OS and whether its 32/64 Bit. Have you also tried updating FSUIPC to the latest version to see if that helps.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronGraham 185 Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 Hello Aaron, Please can you tell us your system specs including your OS and whether its 32/64 Bit. Have you also tried updating FSUIPC to the latest version to see if that helps.. Intel Core 2 Quad 8GB RAM 1TB HDD NVIDIA GeForce 330GT Windows 7 64bit FSUIPC is fully updated. I can run the PMDG NGX fine with all settings on 80% and get 21FPS in the VC in Approaching Innsbruck X. It is not my system that is at fault.

Shaun Fletcher 570 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Hello Aaron, Did you try removing your fsx.cfg and then allowing FSX to rewrite a new one on restart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronGraham 185 Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 Shaun, have tried that to no avail. Aaron G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
