Can Anyone Suggest a Quick Fix to My FS9 Problem?

After nearly three months of FS9 non-use, I find that if I try to load any situation in the NYC area or move my plane to the NYC area FS9 quits to the desktop during scenery loading with no error message. Loading other situations in other geographical areas causes no such error. The error occurs during the "terrain-loading" portion of the scenery load.

 

I have tried loading "default" situations with "default" aircraft and then "moving" to the NYC area, but the result is the same. I have checked the scenery.cfg file and the entries are in numeric order and all seem to be correctly listed (area # = level #, etc.).

 

Can anyone suggest a quick-fix that might work before I resort to a full uninstallation/reinstallation of FS9 and all my add-ons? I thought, perhaps, there might be a quick way to recopy the terrain files from the installation disks to the proper directories.

 

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Respectfully,

Hi Daniel.

 

Try to DELete all the **SCENERY.dat** files, in the

principal DIRectory off all your add-ons, that are

located near the spot where you [quit-to-desktop].

 

It cured problems similar to that, for me,

a few times. . .

No joy!

Have you tried deactivating any of your addons? It's most likely a conflict of some kind between the addon stuff and the default.

 

Go into the scenery library and deactivate one at a time and see what happens.

 

It's tedious, but may save you a complete reinstall.

Another good suggestion. Unfortunately, disabling ALL of my add-on sceneries did not do the trick. So, I uninstalled all FlightSim software -- every last bit of it -- and started with a clean reinstall of FS9. That did the trick (as it should).

 

Thank you for taking the time to offer a solution. It is appreciated.

 

Blue skies!
