Can not complete a flight

[polson]

Hello,
I am currently using the trial version of FSP but I really want to purchase the full version as I really like what this program has to offer,
except for one problem and that is I can not complete a flight without a crash or FS locking up on me. On my first flight I flew KSFO to
KLAX and the flight was great until I pulled up to the gate, at that point I had started my APU and was in the process of switching over from
the generators to the APU when the I got the "FS9 has a problem and needs to shut down" box. Since the flight was not "ended" yet I did
not get credit for the flight. This flight like all of my other ones was with the PMDG 737-800 with the International business model. My next
flight was going to be KSFO to KSEA, preflight and take off went fine but when I got to about 8000 feet FS9 froze up completely. I could hit
the windows key on my key board and access other programs but FS9 remained locked up no matter what I tried, finally I had to close it
by right clicking on FS9 on the task bar and choosing close. Once I did that I got the box that says FS9 is not responding and once I
clicked end now it closed. On my next flight it was the same KSFO to KSEA and this time all went well until I reached 16,000 feet and then
I had the same freeze up as before. At first I thought that maybe the problems may be related to the crew announcements in some way
since on the first two occasions the problems occured very shortly after an announcement but this last time there was no announcement.
I also installed the latest driver for my Audigy 2 sound card before this last flight. Sadly I have never had problems like this before, the only
thing that is different with my system is the addition of FSP so I am hoping that you can help me because I would really like to be able to
purchase and use this program. Tomorrow I will try different aircraft and different scenarios to try and chase this problem out, I'll report
back anything that I learn. I don't know what kind of information you will need so I will include my system specs but please let me know if
there is any other information that you need. It is too bad that flight times are not recorded as you go because my company and my pilot
are still showing zero hours even though I have put some time in.
My FS9.1 System:
AMD XP 2700
1GB PC3200 memory
Audigy 2 sound card
GeForce FX5900XT video card
dual 120 GB hard drives
Windows XP SP2 with all security and other updates
All drivers are up to date
My system is free of any virus, spyware or other maladies and it is very stable. I own my own computer business so I am very
knowledgable when it comes to having a stable system.
If there is anything else that you need please let me know. As I said I will do some more testing tomorrow and try to nail down a cause
for this issue.
Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you,
Philip

Try doing the same flight, with the same aircraft without FSP, the problem is probably not FSP but something else. I know Dan's had a
heap of people testing this to destruction with just about every add-on imaginable to get it stable, so my guess is it's something else
causing you grief. Trouble with these lock ups of that nature is it's hard to nail them down. You could also try re-installing your PMDG as
something may have got screwed up with that.

If not, try a default plane. I'm not sure

I have not gotten any crashes from FsP.

[SWAFO]

As far as I've seen, FSP is an incredibly stable program. Follow the other guys recommendations, and if it's still crashing, come back
and see us.

Thanks for your help so far. I just completed a flight with everything exactly the same as the last two flights but without FSP and I was able
to complete the flight without any problems at all. At this point it seems that FSP is not playing well with my system or perhaps an add on
that I have, of course it is possible that I could find that it is something else causing the problem but for the moment it looks like I have a
problem with it. I am going to do some more testing with other aircraft, etc to see if I can chase it out.
Well I guess it is my turn to be the one customer that has a problem that no one else has. I have been a beta tester for many FS
products as well as other non sim related products so I know the routine and how things go and it seems there is always one guy that
has a problem that does not make any sense. Why did it have to be me? I'll keep testing and hopefully you guys can help me to
resolve this mess so I can use and enjoy this fine add on.

Thanks,
Philip

Hello,

can you read the first sticky post of this forum and see if with some solution
you can solve your problem ?

read here:

if nothing work I would be intterested to have your complete "modules" folder list
and perhaps all your DLL and even Fs9.exe (by mail)

I would give one harm to have the same crash so I can see where it come from
and debug it but unfortunately my Fs9 never crash....

thank for your reply dan,

fsp is the best but as i said it make my conputer restart in the middle of more then 30m flight.

i went the address you attached , the dll it's written there i do not have.
about the editvoicepack, it's the first time i here about it.

is it in my fs2004(9)? where i update this thing???

[DanSteph]

you can find your DLL list if you simply start Fs2004 and exit immediately
and look in the "log.txt" that is in the FsPassengers folder.
it would help if you post the complete log anyway (after a flight that crash and just after running/exiting Fs2004)

Also do you use a registered version of FsP ? in this case can you send me your username
there might be an autorization problem.

Thanks

Dan
