FSX Graphics corruption

[shackman]

I don't know why but my FSX keeps minimizing on me, and then turns the entire aircraft in to this. I heard there was a file to fix it but have lost it. Does anyody know what file that might be? I was searching and found this site with the same problem. They say it could be due to drivers or overheating. And say to underclock the card.

 

I'm nervous about doing that cause I dont know how.

I also see alot about shaders in this issue such as this site, is this a fix possibly?

I wonder if reinstalling over the top of your current install would fix the problem. I'm thinking it might replace the corrupted files.

But if this problem is because of an freeware plane install, I would uninstall the plane first and see if that would help. What is the last thing you installed before this happened? Might try uninstalling that.

I've tried reinstalling multiple times never changes it. And it has to do with the program not the aircraft. Somepeople said it had to do with shaders

Someone at AVsim forums said:

Ensure that entry is in the fsx.cfg under the [GRAPHICS] header, if it is; bump the number up 1 so that it reads as SHADER_CACHE_VERSION=2 and so on.

 

but i can't locate the fsx.cfg file

in the case of win7, fsx.cfg is in the //users/*username*/appdata/roaming/microsoft/fsx folder. Not sure where it would be in xp..

Did you also post this on the VRS forum?

[tusler]

In XP it is located in C:\Documents and Settings\*username*\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX

 

Hope this helps

Gawd I HATE FSX: it so bloody unstable. Spent hundreds on add-ons for it too. Never fly it: always CTDs at the worst times.

Can't disagree, mate.
