FSInn causes FSX to freeze

[Sasha Ivanoff 916136]

No matter what, whenever I fly, FSX freezes up and I was in a middle of a flight when FSX crashed altogether. Much of the time I will fly and FSX will freeze for fifteen seconds or so before it unpauses and it gets annoying.

 

Is there something configuration wise I'm doing wrong? For me to go back to FS9 would be a pain, since everything is configured for FSX.

 

On the otherhand, if I fly offline, I have ZERO problems whatsoever.

 

Any advice?

how sure are you its FSINN? check the error report

This "freezing" happens even on a flight I complete. I can be ahead of the real time clock at the start of the flight and by the end be behind by several minutes. It's almost as if something's struggling to load.

 

And here's the error log:

its not FSINN, its an access violation

 

right click FSX.exe, go to properties, then compatibility. select run as administrator

[Sasha Ivanoff 916136]

Already running as an administrator.

[Ernesto Alvarez 818262]

that usually helps, but not always. basically what happened is FSX tried to access memory at the time that wasnt available. its not the same as running out of memory, just it could not access it and the result is a crash

 

if you search "memory access violation" youll find lots of articles on google about it, some with recommendations to help stop that.

 

one that i see often recommended for FSX is to make sure you dont have FSX installed in the program files folder, instead you should install it on its folder outside of that, example C:/FSX. that tends to help with a lot of these

[Sasha Ivanoff 916136]

But what would cause the mini-freezes? What would cause FSX to in the middle of a flight stop for fifteen seconds, but after a few (or fifteen or thirty seconds), the flight resumes.

 

It's as if in these cases the game locks up and then continues as if nothing happened. That's the thing I'm more concerned about.

could be anything. weather being downloaded and loaded into the sim, textures loading, etc...

 

some PC's handle that better then others, depends on the PC specs.

 

you mentioned offline it doesnt happen. one thing to remember is when you connect, you may have lag on the connection, which may cause them as well

[Sasha Ivanoff 916136]

I'm wondering if it could have something to do with the weather. Tomorrow I'm going to try FSX using MS's weather machine and see how that works. More the reason why I anxiously await VATSIM's in-house pilot client.

[Sasha Ivanoff 916136]

Yeap, turns out the FSInn weather was to blame. I'll use the FS weather engine from here on out.
