If I have somthing set wrong, or need to mess with the Nvidia settings, please let me know, it's frustrating to have the machine to handle graphics..... I also use trackIR if that may be an issue... ANY HELP WOULD BE VERY APPRECIATED

[RCAF_FB_Olaf]

Have had the same problem. Could be overheating of the graphic card or maybe some incompatibility with the motherboard.
I had a Radeon changed to nvidia since then no problem. Maybe you could try to increase the fan speed?

Hi,

tell us your grafik card (i cannot see it above) & also if it happens on any particular map, online, offline?

[Razgriz_37]

SOURCE:
ALL AIRCRAFT ARCADE

well he has nV=0 in his graphic section so i assume he has an ATi

from wich i can tell that some times the drivers go nuts

if u have cat 9.7, 9.8 or 9.9 try the 9.10 beta from the Guru (did the trick for me) or go back to Cat. 9.1 by ATi

either way, use DriveCleaner or DriveSweeper to get rid of all old entries

good luck!

Naz


lol i was blind...he DOES have a nVidia..lol forget what i wrote!

I have had the same problem. Playing for 45-50min and later... CTD.

My solution: delete all and reinstalling (save your favourite mods firstly, of course).Now is running fine for hours. I'm pretty sure that my problem was related with a mod. I didn't want to spend my time testing and looking for the guilty mod, therefore, I reinstalled.

All working now.

Regards.

S~
Sorry about the lack of info mates, when it comes to tech stuff, I am more or less a point and shoot kinda guy, anyhow here is the info I found as far as my graphics, I leave it to you cats to tell me what is what:
name: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260
manufacturer: NVIDIA
Chip Type: GeForce GTX 260
DAC Type: Intergrated RAMDAC
Approx Total Memory: 2927 MB
Current Display Mode: 1024x768 (32bit) (60HZ)
Monitor: Generic PnP Monitor

It's like reading Chinese to me friends..... I do appreciate all the help and input thus far, you guys are true humans of the word.

hi,

also if it happens on any particular map, online, offline?

does it only happen on this game?

in order to assist you we need you to answer the questions as best you can. I am no expert, my machine is at least 5 yrs old, my g/card is an 8800 & I do not have vista. Yet I Fly with great graphics & no issues, online, offline for 12 hrs a day if i so wish, it has taken years of tweaking & taking others advice.

However it is my opinion from your confi file & g\card that you have, that 'maybe' you could be pushing the system to its limits. You probably also have your nvidea settings maxed out, ingame settings on perfect & everything is working full blast & overheating.

this problems existed before the mods, maps like berlin have memory leak problems, so it could be a mod or not? Bad weather, maxed out clouds, water 4........all this things can bring down any machine

It could also be a badly installed nvidea driver,it could be many things .A full reinstall can help as it can also clear up anything wrong you might have done.

I advise you read this great guide

http://allaircraftarcade.com/forum/view ... 2+graphics

Then if you wish to start reducing settings you can start off by opening the game & reducing the 'in game settings', go to hardware setup-video options-
from top to bottom
medium
high
normal
excellent
high
medium

Sound can also be reduced to the minimum default (if your using onboard sound card) Sound can cause a lot off issues.
Direct x
default
default
headphones/speakers
enable extension-up
reverse stereo-down

Run the game until it stops.

If it does not stop, your sorted & the emmmediate problem solved.If it does stop, we then have to reduce your confi & nvidea settings

S~
I am now guessing that one of the umteen mods I have had to throw on for FS, or zuti or somthing is the culprit, I switched my game to 4.08 and jerked all my settings up to the extreme, and not a single stutter or crash, even over smoke filled, fire engulfed cities... so I think I did not install somthing right...
