Hello Pete,
First of all I want to let everyone know that I’m not a computer savvy and it is very possible that the FSX crashes are the result of something wrong I’m doing.
These are the softwares’ specifications:
Microsoft Flight Simulator X Gold Edition. I installed disks 1 and 2 in the C drive in a folder called FSX. I did not install the Acceleration Expansion pack disk.
Window 7 64-bit
FSUIPC Version 4.81. It created a folder "Modules" inside FSX.
WideClient Version 7.81 I bought it all together with FSUIPC. WideClient is been disabled from the FSUIPC Options and Settings screen in FSX. I think I do not need it, just bought it as part of the bundle you offer.
WideClient Version 6.94.
FYI I’m keeping the WideFS unzip folder with all its content in PC1 and copied the WideClient.exe and WideClient.ini files on PC2. But again, I’m not using it. Should I?
There is no a particular behavior that makes FSX crash. Most of the times when you just start the computer it will let you fly for a couple of times with different airplanes with no problems. The only issue at this point will be that I cannot make the pitch trim-wheel to work properly. I am using the pitch trim-wheel in the Saitek multipanel. Then I visit the FSUIPC Options and Settings from the FSX screen - Tab "Joystick Calibration" - Option "6 of 11: Trim, spoilers and flaps" it recognizes the flaps in the right two blocks of the screen and lists the airplane name in the lower right corner, but do not recognize the Elevator Trim in the upper left block. I move it up and down but nothing happened. Any suggestions?
Back to FSX crashes. So, you fly for a few times and all the sudden FSX crashes and the screen goes away. After the first crash it will get worse and will be very difficult to fly again. Sometimes the FSX screen will even disappear after finishing loading the selected fly. Again, there is no a particular behavior or an specific moment that will make FSX to crash. It will just stop working at any time. Also, if I'm flying and want to finish the fly it goes to the FSX "Free Flight" screen and then the program immediately shuts down by itself.
As I mentioned in my first post I have two PC's. PC1 works with FSX and FsXPand. PC2 works with FsClient. However, the above described FSX crashes are just when flying with PC1, no even starting PC2 for the glass cockpit.
The below logs pertain to the first fly of the day using FSX on PC1 (did not turn PC2 on). I flew for a few minutes and when in final approach FSX crashed.
