Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted June 5, 2015 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted June 5, 2015 If you are on FSX/FSX:SE, do you have the HIGHMEMFIX added to your fsx.cfg file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snmarkham 2 Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Not sure what Highmemfix is Tom. I am using FSX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted June 5, 2015 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted June 5, 2015 Please take a look here: http://flyawaysimulation.com/news/4737/ The highmemfix is needed for the FSX to be able to load all textures of the bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snmarkham 2 Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Well, I found out what HIGHMEMFIX=1 is supposed to do, added the line to the cfg file under Grafics, and guess what, nope, it didn't work. My Airbus still looks like a skeleton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted June 5, 2015 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted June 5, 2015 Please tell me the exact location (path) of the fsx.cfg file you have modified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snmarkham 2 Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 C:/users/username/ad data/Microsoft/FSX/FSX.cfg, there were two of these files in the folder, I added the line to both, just in case! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted June 5, 2015 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted June 5, 2015 There can't be two files with the same name in one and the same folder... Please make sure that you have edited this file: c:\Users\YOU\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\fsx.cfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snmarkham 2 Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Tom, there are two files with the same name, except that one of them had .txt extension, while the other one did not show its extension. I assumed the one without the extension would be the proper file, but I added the line to both just in case. To make sure, I'm back on my laptop to check, yes I am looking at it now, and it has two of those files, one with an extent ensign and one without!

Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted June 5, 2015 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted June 5, 2015 Make sure that in the explorer all file extensions are visible. And only the file named "fsx.cfg" is relevant. BTW: which version exactly of FSX are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafal Haczek 1612 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 And what are your specs? Your operating system, your processor, video card, memory? What extra flightsim addons are you using with your Airbus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snmarkham 2 Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Hi guys, I'm using an HP 17" display laptop, 1 terabyte hard drive, 8gigs memory, windows 8.1 pro, an Intel graphics card built in, I think it's 1gig or so, FSX Gold, I have just been on it, but found that the line I added had affected my other aircraft, I couldn't see them from the outside of the aircraft, the views had been affected, so I've taken the line out, and I'm back to normal with my original craft. However the Air bus 320/321 still looks like the skeleton it was. Very annoying, as I've paid top dollar for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosoft Aerosoft Team [Inactive Account] 51558 Posted June 5, 2015 Aerosoft Share Posted June 5, 2015 Also make sure that are running FSX SP2, what you see is normal for an out of date FSX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snmarkham 2 Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 Strangely enough, I did have SP2 installed. I decided to uninstall it and then reinstall. After uninstalling, I ran FSX to see what might happen. I loaded the Air Bus and surprise surprise it appeared as it normally should, no skeleton. However , the Nav Display and Engine and warning Diplay were blank, even though the engines were running I wasn't able to get the plane rolling, very strange.

snmarkham 2 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Tom, I did what you recommended, ie: donloaded the simconnect.zip file, unzipped it and did the installation for all three files, but to no avail, it just doesn't work. I can hear engines on but no displays are available, tried the overhead display to tweak switches etc, nothing happens! Im now stuck with no FSX at all!

Rafal Haczek 1612 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Im now stuck with no FSX at all! Do you mean your FSX stopped working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snmarkham 2 Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 No, I mean the Airbus 320 from aerosoft doesn't work at all. Although it looked skeletal, at least I was able to fly it, now I can't get to move at all. FSX works ok with the default aircraft after uninstalling the sim connect files.

snmarkham 2 Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 I reinstalled the Windows SP2 for FSX, started FSX again, loaded the Airbus 320 and suddenly everything looks normal, the plane flew quite well, although I do need to work on lots of stuff to get to grips with the workings of the FMS and auto pilot. Thanks for all the input to try and solve my problem, but I can safely say it's all good now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
