You may want to contact them also about your problem. Sometimes add-on packs and some add-ons can cause your FSX to fail.; ▶ Reply to This

If it does, then search the support forums for the add-on company. That really can work wonders, and provide a lot of information.; ▶ Reply to This

If it dos and it looks OK then copy it to another location and copy the latest scenery_cfg_before...... also to another location then rename the one in the C:\programdata\microsoft\fsx folder to scenery.cfg start FSX again.
You will lose the scenery addons installed after the time and date of that file.; ▶ Reply to This

Most errors are caused by third party add ons that you THINK are safe but you find out when things like that happen.Fatal errors are A big problem with FSX because of XML files getting corrupted..just a clue?; ▶ Reply to This
