Crashes to desktop **solved**
9Y-POS:
ok i just wanted to add my two cents here in that i think it could be alittle more than just a memory leak and that there may be a fault w/ the scenery itself because in my testing when i try to load directly at PHNL sometimes it crashes and yet i can do the same thing at KJFK and KLAS, even fly into those airports without any CTD's.
I'll be upgrading to W7 in about a week and i'll be trying out this again to see if this improves anyhting.

I just flew from LAX to Honolulu and I made it. Try putting the detail radius to small
JSE516:
I just completed KDEN to PHNL in the 748i using both MSE-Colorado & FSDT PHNL with no problems. I also have all of FSDT's stuff as well as numerous 3rd party airports. To me this sounds like an OOM error which occurs in both FSX & Fs9 when using 3rd party add-ons for a prolonged amount of time on a 32 bit OS. The problem is well documented for both sims in the Avsim & FlightSim forums.
The short of it is windows virtual memory overloads and FS CTD's with no error message. The solution is either
1. ad the 3GB switch and make Fs9 or FSX large memory aware.
2. get a 64 bit OS.
I used to get CTD's like this all the time especially with PMDG's 744 and add-on airports. Frustrating as all &$#* especially on short finals Grrrrrrrr. Since moving to Vista64 and now Win7 64 the problem is all but a memory (ha!). I also used the 3GB switch for a short time and it really helped ;)

I'm sorry but, unless the crash is repeatable on every system, you just can't say "it's the scenery". If it was, it would happen on every system, and we would had the forum flooded with messages (not just 1-2 random reports), and of course we would have fixed already, since any crash that is repeatable, is also fixable.
So, it's obvious that, in your specific case, it's something else that is crashing. When you load PHNL, it's not just our airport that is loaded, but of course it's the base scenery, meshes, landclasses, textures, default navaids, the airplane you are using, the weather, the AI airplanes with their textures, another scenery for that area you might have, etc.
If any of the above elements has a problem, you can get crashes on load, without being related at all to the PHNL airport scenery, and of course, fact you don't see this at other FSDT airports, doesn't mean anything, because they are positioned in an entirely different area.
