westway Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 My opening screen in FSX with Acceleration tends to freeze constantly for 3 to 5 minutes every time I change flights. I also get frame freeze when in flight for about 15 seconds. Is there something I can do to remedy this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiger1962 Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 I've also been getting the menu screen freezing. It's caused by a corrupted scenery database. You can rebuild a clean database like this: Navigate to: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX\SceneryIndexes and delete all the the .dat files in there. You can replace them from the Recycle Bin if anything goes wrong. Restart FSX and it'll show a message like: "Completing install. Creating scenery databases". Once it's finished you'll be able to select flightplans, locations and the date and time without delays again. Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

westway Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 I did this with NO advantageous out come, as a matter of fact it really messed up my FSX on Windows 10. Additionally, now every time I open FSX it goes through a scenery iteration that takes forever to open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 You're still using Windows XP Charlie! Even so, is WinXP on your C:\ drive? Yep, X has peed all over itself! FSX in default location. C:\ is all I have! ;) Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
