[Jim Young 2,356]

Can you guys post how you have the inspector settings?

Thank you

Hi Jim! I wasn't sure you were around.... You have the PMDG 737, right? Now the BIG question - Do you also have the DX10 Fixer installed?

Think you know the answer by now but yes, I own the DX10 Fixer and it is installed.  Awesome product!

 

I flew with the PMDG737 this morning and had no issues.  Works great!

 

Best regards,

No that was for a lighting question another user has, Rick. I was directing it to Jim (FireHawk)

 

For Firefox - I believe they have a "safe Mode", which can be launched from the Start button.

 

Re FSDT - take a look at your dll.xml and your exe.xml files - they're in the same folder as your fsx.cfg. They will tell you if you're running (or trying to run) "Couatl.exe" or "Addon Manager.exe"

 

You're looking for :-

 

<Launch.Addon>
    <Name>Addon Manager</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
    <Path>bglmanx.dll</Path>                            in the dll.xml, and :-

</Launch.Addon>

 

<Launch.Addon>
    <Name>Couatl</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
    <Path>fsdreamteam\couatl\couatl.exe</Path>
  </Launch.Addon>                                           in the exe.xml

 

If the CTD's you're talking about happen when you start FSX - then these are looking for their programs, and crashing when they can't find them.

Think you know the answer by now but yes, I own the DX10 Fixer and it is installed.  Awesome product!

What I needed to know, Jim, was "Does the external lighting system work properly on the PMDG 737?"

 

Les has done a test in both DX9 and DX10, and confirms this is the case. Normal. If you'd like to add some reinforcement - we woiuld both be very sure of our case..!

 

Mucho Nachos!

Don't have DX10 but DX11.

 

Hi Rick,

 

Everyone has DX11 as that's the latest and greatest but no FSX or FSX addons can utilize DX11.  Not to worry though as DirectX is backwards compatible.  That's why people who own FS9 can use DX11 compatible video cards but in DX9 only.

 

The error message your received in the image indicates you need to uninstall and reinstall your video card drivers.  When you reinstall them, make sure you right click and select Run as Administrator.  You can also revert back to the older drivers.  So far I have no problems with the new drivers (327.23).  Another reason for the crash is if you are trying to overclock your video card in any way.  You will get this error 100% of the time when you do that.

 

Best regards,

Jim

I did fly the 737NGX at night in and around Chicago and the exterior lighting looked great.  In fact, I was thinking the lighting looked just as good as what I saw when the 777 was first released.  But, I will look again to make sure and post back here if I see an anomaly or issue.

Hi Jim

 

Forgive me, meant to thank you for your tip about where to put that .nip file that Paul J sent me. Now, do I need that DX 10 Fixer, if so, where do I get it from?

 

Back to my issue. Thanks for the DX11 explanation. I'm sure I ran that latest driver as an Administrator as I did a clean install as it asks. Only thing I've o/c'd is the CPU and even then, a mild o/c from 2.4Ghz to 3.02GHz, the Gigabyte GTX560Ti is running at stock settings. When I was in Vegas, as my sister had bought it from Amazon, I returned it to Gigabyte in Ca., paid a fortune for US Post, and all they did was send it back to me minus all the original Gigabyte box saying that they could find no fault.

 

Stenson running away with ToC?

 

@Paul

 

I have no issues with Add-on Manager or Couatl. It's just that immediately after running that NI settings, I now get the 2 freight loaders go to the same rear cargo doors where as previously after installing the latest AM and Coautl, they were doing what FSDT had supposedly fixed, i.e. one loader to front cargo door, and the other to the rear(pax version), and despite the L Entry door already being open, GSX is still asking for that L Entry 2 door to be opened. Case of left-hand has no idea what right is doing!

 

No, the CTD's only happen when using Firefox 23 coz I tested surfing with IE10, and had no issues. I don't even have to be in FSX. I could be using Gmail, and, bang, it'll all of a sudden go CTD. 

 

Hope I have managed to explain myself a bit lucidly. And thanks to you and Jim.

Oddly I was checking out the night lighting on the NGX this afternoon. All the external lighting works. The navigation lights cast a nice glow on the ground, and you can see them from the back and front logo light works, taxi lights runway lights and main beam lol the strobes strobe so for me with the new fixer all is ok.

 

Couple of small notes and that is the top strobe light does look a little large to me and can't say I've noticed it looking like that before and to be honest its probably been like that forever, but didn't switch to DX9 to check. So perhaps that is just me or how my system is set up. Secondly, the Nav lights are like pin heads but I know they have always looked like that for me even with the free files.

 

While I was writing this I realised that months and months ago I installed some Rex textures so it could be these that are influencing things. Note to self to go check tomorrow.

I'm giving this one a miss as in the 327.23 notes it says:-

 

Flight Simulator X–pressing Alt+Tab to switch to the desktop does not work. [293729]

 

Can anyone confirm this or does it work for them using this driver?

[adi518 73]

Works just fine for me.

[SolRayz 392]

Wow they actually referenced FSX in the notes?!?  Incredible...

[adi518 73]

Funny indeed, but I didn't experience that. Maybe some will. You can always revert.

@ mattius

 

Seems like you may have a thing there, because I just tried to switch from speeding up the sim 4x back to normal on a OMDB-EGCC longhaul, and bang, I get a CTD with ntddll.dll error. Boy, this hobby can get so, so frustrating and maddening at times. Just wasted 4 hours for nothing. If it's not an add-on manager then it's a driver, if it's not that, then, it's something else. Grrr-rrr!

[adi518 73]

I second that. However, it's been a long long time since I had an error with fsx. You need to know how to tame this beast!  :lol:

Jim, do you use the basic or advanced settings? I tried both but did not notice any difference in image quality and was wondering if you did. I'm using DX9.

 

VC10 Man, in the above link Jim, referenced, it says that the advanced settings may cause what you just experienced with increaseing the simulation rate. Hope it helps.

This is beginning to get crazier by the minute. I decided to check Nvidia Inspector. Only a few hours ago I used Paul J's guide to set it up with the MS FSX Profile.Guess what? All of sudden Nvidia or something has now wiped all those settings and taken it back to Global_Driver_Profile. And all I did since a few hours ago is carry out Windows Updates, suffer a CTD with that ntddll.dll error. So, how on earth did a profile that I set revert to default? If this is not enough to kick this hobby into touch and maybe take up gun-running, I don't know what else there is!!

 

Thanks for that h/up, Ted.

 

I reckon I'm going to park this hobby in the hangar for a while, and go back to something as exciting as Train Simulator!

I'm willing to offer help via teamviewer if you wish. Send me a PM.
