    FSX Acceleration crashes

    Hi,

    I installed FSX Acceleration, and everything was perfect, then I tried to
    push the graphic a little more using the filters, than it crashes. So then I
    tried to go back to bilinear only, but now after about an 1hr, the game
    crash

    How can I repair these settings so that the games will once again work for
    longer flight than 1hr

    Thank You in Advance
    Merci a l'avance

    As you say that FSX crashes after an hour, I would suspect that overheating
    of your graphics card may be the cause. Drop the settings and see how long
    it can run for.

    That's the thing I'm at the lowest setting allowed in the game, and my video
    card is an EVGA 8800GTS with 640Mb

    You might try reloading the NVIDIA drivers. Also, heat may be an issue.
    You might check the fan to make sure it is running. Also, are you having
    any other problems with games? You may try downloading 3DMark and
    looping it to see if you have any issues (kind of like a burn in for
    your video card, to test stability).

    I installed the latest video drivers from Nvidia about 2 days ago, I still
    have the same problem, but it's only with FSX

    It started after I made some change to the video filters, and since then I
    tried to revert back to the basic video setting, wich every control in the
    games says they are, but it seems that there are some setting that did not,
    and that is why I do not think that heat is an issue

    Re: FSX Acceleration crashes

    You might find a better answer to your question in the avsim.net forums.
    That issue may have come up before there. There is a fsx.cfg file that
    holds those settings. You may delete that and restart FSX which will
    recreate that file with default settings.
