• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Point me in the right direction pse.

Hi all,

I know this is a developers forum, but its the only scenery forum I know. I'm having a conflict between two sceneries that I dont understand. I'm looking for some help to troubleshoot it. If the mods think this is inappropriate for this site, I understand, but if you could please point me in the direction of a forum that might be able to help me.

Thanks

Jason
 
Hi David,

I wanted to enhance the PHNL area, so I downloaded Honolulu v5 by Bill Melichar (Pardon the spelling, i'm not on my FS pc right now). I also dowloaded Hickam AFB and Pearl Harbour by DBWsim. When they are all installed, they work fine, But, I want to use Pearl Harbor and Hickam with the default PHNL airport, using a highly modified AFCAD. When I use it in this configuration, I get a fatal error and fs shuts down. The error happens when i'm slewing around the scenery. If the error doesn't occur when i'm slewing, it 100% will occur when I shut down FS. When the error comes up, it states visualfx.dll file or g3d.dll file as files associated with the error.

I have tried numerous combinations to try narrow down the problem, and the problem seems to be when Hickam is used without honolulu v5. The pearl harbor works fine with or without all the others. I eliminated my AFCAD as the problem, coz I experimented with the stock FS AFCAD and it still crashed.

I'm using fs9. All 3 sceneries mentioned above are installed in different folders under addon scenery. I've installed a fourth folder just containing my AFCAD, just to make it easier to swap between the standard PHNL and the PHNL v5.
