Hello Jim, Thanks for that. I can confirm that I have all the 3 Modules for MS Visuals C++ Redistributables. I note what you say as regards NTDLL.dll.. I have ported over 1 FS9 aircraft about a year ago, I flew it once it seemed OK, Should I remove it? I haven't recently installed any new scenery, the last one was about 6 months ago , but these CTDs have been going on for quite some time now.I am currently flying the PMDG JS41 more or less all the time now, it's a complex programme, should I re-install it? ( As mentioned earlier the CTD seems to come when I'm within or close to Denmark airspace - even when testing the default Microlight crashes when I'm there !) As far as wrong frequency, timings, and/or voltages are concerned I really know next to nothing about these settings or what they mean or even where to find them :-( - ditto with the BIOS settings too - I'm very unsure about messing with any of these settings, without the commensurate knowledge. Recently, I replaced the CPU with a high end one, as I had overheating problems, however it turned out that a good vacuuming for dust etc & general clean up inside the PC case sorted this out. Finally, the FSX.cfg file - I note your comments with interest - however I have done several searches for this on my PC ,but it doesn't show up - perhaps its a hidden file? Is there some special nack in finding it? You mention about the HIGHMEMFIX=1 - do you mean to change it to that setting? It seems that I have 'ticked most of the boxes' with most of my system settings as you suggested - yet still I have these frustrating & annoying CTDs, Am I getting anywhere? Many thanks again for input & patience ( and my apologies for my lack of technical knowledge) Sincerely Ian Zetland

Hello Jim, Many thanks for your comprehensive reply. It's taken me a while to sort through all the details. Anyway. before I set out the Event Viewer. I have changed over to 'System managed file', as you have suggested. However on searching through the Microsoft.net data that you suggested I have found that while I have : V1 through to V4.3 on Framework, on Framework64 however I only have V2 through to 4 (no sign of V1 here at all) Further, even going onto Microsofts downoad page I can't seem to locate it - there seems so much other technical stuff which doesn't seem relevant. Do I need V1 for Framework 64? If so can you please let me have the link for it - thanks. As to the Event Viewer results on the latest CTD this what I have copied out:- Log Name: Application Source: Application Error Date: 07/05/2012 12:45:40 Event ID: 1000 Task Category: (100) Level: Error Keywords: Classic User: N/A Computer: IanZetland-PC Description: Faulting application name: fsx.exe, version: 10.0.61637.0, time stamp: 0x46fadb14 Faulting module name: ntdll.dll, version: 6.1.7601.17725, time stamp: 0x4ec49b8f Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x0002e04e Faulting process id: 0x960 Faulting application start time: 0x01cd2c42c37222c7 Faulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\fsx.exe Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ntdll.dll Report Id: 2b2e6a8d-983a-11e1-9e65-001f81000250 Event Xml: <Event xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event"> <System> <Provider Name="Application Error" /> <EventID Qualifiers="0">1000</EventID> <Level>2</Level> <Task>100</Task> <Keywords>0x80000000000000</Keywords> <TimeCreated SystemTime="2012-05-07T11:45:40.000000000Z" /> <EventRecordID>44102</EventRecordID> <Channel>Application</Channel> <Computer>IanZetland-PC</Computer> <Security /> </System> <EventData> <Data>fsx.exe</Data> <Data>10.0.61637.0</Data> <Data>46fadb14</Data> <Data>ntdll.dll</Data> <Data>6.1.7601.17725</Data> <Data>4ec49b8f</Data> <Data>c0000005</Data> <Data>0002e04e</Data> <Data>960</Data> <Data>01cd2c42c37222c7</Data> <Data>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\fsx.exe</Data> <Data>C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ntdll.dll</Data> <Data>2b2e6a8d-983a-11e1-9e65-001f81000250</Data> </EventData> </Event> Hopefully this will be of use in tracing the reason for the CTD, At least I hope so. Once again many thanks for your efforts & patience it is appreciated. Ian Zetland

Hi Jim, Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.I've had a look in Event Viewer - there are loads of error messages but I can't see any references specifically to FSX anywhere. Maybe I'm missing something as it's all rather technical - but I'm not!! Even if I saw an a error message, what would I do about it? I did have some overheating issues but thats been resolved a while ago now. Your further help would be much appreciated. Thanks & regards Ian Zetland

Hello out there, Hopefully I'm in the right place, and that some kind person can help. Its a bit weird. My problem is this - whenever I try to fly towards or even get near airspace in Denmark I get an Immediate CDT. It doesn't seem to matter which part of Denmark or which airport I head for the result is the same.I've tried looking in the Recycle Bin to see if I may have accidentally deleted something but to be honest I'm not that technical, so not sure what to even look for. Has anyone got any suggestions? Can anyone help, I hope so. Thanks in advance Ian Zetland Warwick ( High End games PC - System: Windows 7 (x86) FSX all patches & Acceleration)

Hello,It’s possible that this type of question or similar has been raised before, but I couldn’t see one exactly the same – if so, I apologise in advance!My PC uses Windows 7 64 & the Yoke is on a USB port . The problem is that my CH Flight Sim Yoke - which is a few years old – had been working perfectly . It had recently developed a tendency to swing to the right when in flight. So I re-calibrated it through FSX - (big mistake!) since then things have just got much much worse! Only now any aircraft swings sharply to the right, or sharply to the left whether inflight or on the ground , consequently it’s very, very difficult to re-centre it or control it on manual flight . I’ve tried altering the trim wheel button to no avail. I’ve used the CH Control manager as best as I can –but some aspects of it seem too technical to me. I just cannot get the Yoke to fly the aircraft straight anymore without this swinging effect – does anyone have a solution? or can someone help to sort this out – I hope so.Thanks in advance,Ian

Thanks very much for your interesting response & input to my problem, It's appreciated. I am going to investigate both solutions.Many thanks again.Ian Zetland

Hello,A very strange thing is happening to my JS41 on FSX - suddenly for no apparent reason (usually at cruise altitudes) the aircraft lurches to the left (or right) the speed drops to the low speed danger red zone then into the 'overspeed' zone - followed by a rapid climb, the instruments go crazy -then it settles back & then the same thing happens all over again & again until I get to low altitudes - very odd!Has anyone come across this before?Any suggests to fix this hopefully?Other than this problem it flies beautifully, I love it.Hope someone can assist - thanksIan Zetland

If this was discussed before why did you ask me to send a picture? I have said I had already read the other articles here - they refer to blue triangles with lights in the middle etc etc - nothing like my problem - In any event nothing was resolved - was it? hence my post. Thanks.Ian Zetland

PICTURE IS ATTACHED..... looks grim no?Ian Zetland

Hello out there,I have read a few articles here concerning visual interferance on the VC, but nothing sounds any thing like similiar to my problem. What I get is huge white flashing squares 1/4 of the size of the screen,moving in a rotating pattern all across the screen - never ending!Clearly I cannot fly this aircraft like this it's impossible, which is a shame. Does anyone know of this problem and how to cure or fix this. I hope so.I have a high end spec PC - ditto Screen - I'm not very technical really but would welcome any help from anyone.Thanks in advance Ian Zetland
