Dave,

About the Sim crashing..
Are you familiar with the uiautomationcore.dll issue?
http://forum.avsim.net/topic/273341-her ... win-7-x64/

I don't want to just start throwing things at it. I thought you might have something to say about it.
I've yet to make any FSX cfg changes..

Joe

Yo Joe :hello:

FSX crashing isn't generally an issue for me mate though it has been known to go a bit banzai if I fly it continually for long enough. The main problem I get on this install is an ai.player.dll error after shutdown.. the reasons for which are open to debate. Just when I think I have it cracked.. it pop's up again :wall:

Couldn't get into Avsim to read that thread (what a surprise) but I know the gist of what it's saying ;)

That was what improved my FSA crashes Dave. It didn't eradicate them completely, but certainly made a marked improvement. I just put a copy of that version of the file into my main FSX folder. I'll send you a copy over if you like.

From what I gather mate.. FSX may not use it anyway.. odd, I know. You can, it seems, substitute the original file for a blank txt file with the same name and Robert is also your uncle. FSX looks for it as part of its checklist and that appears to be it :)

Hello

The dll. in question is a dll for Vista. it is to be placed in the FSX root directory only. That way, FSX only uses the vista dll. and win 7 and the other programs installed use the win 7 dll.

The link to the Vista DLL is here

http://www.search-dll.com/dll-files/dow ... e.dll.html

(right column third one from top)

But If I rememeber , Dave you have a VISTA OS ... you could get it from there perhaps.

uh oh.. scratch using the dll. from a recently updated version of Vista. that dll was changed from the original .. It' the original dll. (older one) that you want.


sorry, :hide:

PS I'm running FSX with it inplace now too,

Add the uAIautomationcore dll. from the link I posted , add it to the FSX root dorectory. when you start FSX the exe. sees the (Vista) uAIautomationcore dll. and use it, instead of the Win 7 version....

If it doesn't seem to fix things , you can just delete it.

I just added it to my FSX folder. there wasn't a dll. with that name so I didn't overwrite anything. I just added in . easy enough to remove it..

Which is it Dave, the blue pill or the red one.... :OB:
