Steve C 0 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 I can no longer fly missions, FSX crashes when I press the fly mission button. Not sure when they stopped as I don't do them that often. Does anyone else have or seen this problem before? I have FSX with service pack 2, Ultimate Terrain Europe and Just Flight Mosquito, on Vista Ultimate 64. I have uninstalled Mosquito and turned ultimate terrain off, but no luck. Any suggestions before I go for a full uninstall? Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 What missions have you tried? When did this start? Link to post Share on other sites
Steve C 0 Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Not sure exactly when it stopped as I don't fly them often. Last one I tried was Midwest Fly-in (or something similar). Have also tried some of the tutorial ones that I have completed before. Never gets to the objectives page, falls over when I click the fly button with a mission selected (probably after 10 seconds or so). I have also previously installed and uninstalled and deleted UK2000 free Heathrow, maybe that did something? Have never added extra missions. Link to post Share on other sites

Longbeard 0 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 My FSX crashes all the time, always has. I have no idea why, but it sure is a pain. Link to post Share on other sites
Steve C 0 Posted March 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 Just an update incase someone else has the same problem. I had installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Express Editions and this had updated two dlls which are not backward compatible (good old MS!). There is a hotfix KB961894 (http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/KB961894)) to fix this, I haven't tried everything in visual studio again but Visual Basic still seems to work. Can't stop, off to earn my tin wings. AGAIN! Link to post Share on other sites

rob16584 42 Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Thanks for sharing that Steve. I had a problem with FSX missions a while back where I completed the mission and then exited FS, came back next time and the mission wasn't showing as complete. I managed to figure out that if I go back to the create a flight page and then exit FS, i keep my badges Link to post Share on other sites
