Gentleman,
I have purchased and installed FSDT KMEM, KIAH, KCLT, KDFW, KLAS, et. al.,) and installed but not purchased the newest GSX (L2E installed 1 Oct; currently disabled in FSX-SE) under FSX-SE and Win 10.
Up until a week or so ago, all was well. Not so now. I am rather at a loss to know where to begin, so I will simply list some of the many symptoms I'm observing.
1. After loading a flight ('Go Fly') with the scenery/airplane visible at KMEM, 3-4 minutes pass before the FSDT airport scenery finishes rendering. Once this is complete, I can operate the A/C but FSX freezes and crashes either while taxiing or shortly after T/O. Occasionally FSX crashes before the rendering process is complete.
2. When approaching within about 5nm of KMEM on approach, FSX crashes without warning.
3. When beginning a flight from FSDT KIAH, most of the scenery objects did not appear at all. I was able to depart the A/P area, but FSX froze for 1-2 sec a number of times before I was 10nm or so from KIAH.
4. These types of behaviors occur at other FSDT airports also, with either default A/C or addon A/C.
5. When selecting a starting gate, for some airports, all the gates in the gate list are classified as RAMP GA, as opposed to Small/Medium/Large.
6. KDFW scenery does not appear; listed in Addon Manager as ACTIVE but not installed (ABNI) in the Scenery Library (the Active checkbox in the FSX Scenery Library list is checked). KIAH and KLAS are ABNI.
7. GSX is Product ACTIVE; GSX Level 2 Expansion is in TRIAL Mode.
I have run FSDT Live Update (virus protection off). Doesn't seem to make a difference. My hypothesis is that something about GSXL2E has changed something that I'm not aware of.
Perhaps I need to uninstall everything at start a complete reinstall with the latest versions of software, if that is possible.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.
Thank you.
