J G 927 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 I would like to get a working RAF Hercules in my hanger. This is providing to be a hard ask. So far I have tried four versions: Just Flights payware model. It always crashes on deployment from the aircraft selection screen. The CaptainSim payware model demo, this has the same problem as the JF model. The AlphaSim freeware model. Works just fine but the quality is so poor,especially the VC. The SimShed freeware model. Externally it is OK, but the VC displays a strange light blue curtain over the instruments and windows about the width if the instrument panel itself. I have installed the JF one successfully in the past, but it had a very pronounced and adverse impact on my frame rates. Any suggestions as to why the JF/CaptainSim one should cause FSX to crash? Are there any good C130's out there that are not on my list?. J. Link to post Share on other sites
J G 927 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 I have solved the issue with JF Hercules crashing. I have a program called Soundstream that is not compatible with it. That's now uninstalled and the crash problem is fixed. Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,283 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 That was an easy one. Glad you got it figured. Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 That's one to write on the wall. Sooner or later someone else is going to have that problem. John Link to post Share on other sites
stu7708 244 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Too bad, Soundstream looked like a nice little add-on if it weren't for that.. Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,283 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Did you try turning the program off first in FSX before loading the aircraft to see if it still crashed. If so you might still be able to use both. Link to post Share on other sites
J G 927 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 That may work Brett but a bit of a faff. I will look at an alternative first. Link to post Share on other sites
J G 927 Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 I tried the following with soundstream: Reinstall soundstream Open fsx with a Soundstream friendly aircraft Switch off soundstreem from the menu bar Use the aircraft menu in FSX to switch to the JF Herc. FSX crashes. So I cant use Soundstream off or on when I want to use my Herc. Link to post Share on other sites
brett 2,283 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Oh well, it was worth a shot. Maybe making a tech slip to the folks at Captsim would help, to see if they have heard of it before and have a fix.(that's if they even answer you) Link to post Share on other sites
