[FIXED] Started crashing on every launch

Was working fine, but after about 10 minutes FSX crashed, and now it crashes immediately on load. How can I find a log file to see what's going on?

Hi and welcome,

The error log will be in C:(or the drive you installed FI)\Users\YourUserNameHere\AppData\Roaming\FlyInside\ You may need set your windows explorer settings to show hidden files.

If FSX continues to crash is might be a good idea to try renaming or removing you FSX.CFG file to allow the sim to rebuild it on restart.

It would also be a big help if you can share your system specs and driver version numbers in your forum signature.

Cheers,

Bruce

Thanks Bruce. Nothing obvious that I can see in the FlyInside logs. I tried deleting FSX.CFG, and this allowed FSX to start, but it crashes when I go to the Free Flight section of the menus. I'm assuming from the behaviour that it's something to do with activating the video card in 3D (for the spinning preview of the plane) that's crashing it.

But I've found that if I start FSX directly (rather than via FlyInside) it works fine.

Any suggestions much appreciated!

I have the same problem. Started this morning. Deleted .cfg files and let FlyInside and FSX build new ones. Same result. FSX work by itself but not with FlyInside. Press the Fly Now button, Everything loades but when load is done get FSX crash message. Might this have something to do with the Rift firmware upgrade that was done this last weekend?

I'm running the latest Oculus home/runtime with the updated firmware without issues.

Bizarre one guys ? If you both had no problems before then I can only assume it's some addon that is causing these conflicts or some update behind the scenes ? Flyinside hasn't been updated yet. Have you got any addons in common guys ?

I'm having the same problem as OP. I downloaded the demo last night and it worked well the first time. I purchased FlyInside and now it crashes as soon as I click "fly now" in free flight.
