Fsx Crashing after installing the 717

[cosenza987]

I installed the HJG 717-200 just how the readme told me. Now, when I try to fly with the 717, fsx crashes

There's no reason why the HJG B717-200 should crash FSX .... provided it has been installed "PRECISELY" in accordance with either of the 3 recommended installation tutorials featured on this "FSX SUPPORT" forum page.

The HJG B717-200 3D model/s .... and all the supplied textures for it .... cwertainly will not/should not cause any such a problem

What particular panel option are you using ?

"IF" .... you are using either of the 4 recommended panel options supplied "HERE", at HJG, then you should not be doing so, at all, since neither of these are FSX compatible and "MAY" result in a crash if installed in this pariticular FS version.

I say "NOT FSX COMPATIBLE" reservedly .... because neither of these 4 panel options were actually designed for FSX use and have not been tested within that particular FS version.

In any case .... and the event that any of these panel "might" be coaxed into displaying in FSX .... then you "may", still, end up with missing, or mishaped, guages (or both) at the very least. I also need to say .... "IF" you are, indeed, trying to install either of these 4 panels options then a CTD/crash is normally indicative of a particular MODULE component/file that has not been installed inside the correct/recommended FS directory folder .... and which will happen in either FSX or FS9/2004 as a consequence.

There are no FSX specific B717-200 panel options available (at least not decent ones that are endorsed/supported by HJG), so, in the absence of a more suitable panel you will need to employ the default FSX panel option, but, to do so, you need to edit both the PANEL.CFG and the SOUND.CFG file (inside the respective PANEL and SOUND folders contained within the HJG B717-200 Aircraft Base Pack folder) to reflect the default FSX B737-800 Panel and Sound alias .... rather than the default FS9/2004 B737-400 alias which all Aircraft Base Pack files download ready to use with.

For FSX use/compatibility (for smoke effects primarily) you will also need at activate the FSX specific AIRCRAFT.CFG file contained within the HJG B717-200 Aircraft Base Pack folder .... but .... this is unlikely to be the cause of your problem.

You really need to advise "PRECISELY" what you are trying to do in regard to various components associated with your particular installation rather than just saying what is, apparently, happening.

A bit more information .... "from you" .... is required here .... really

I have removed the hjg 717 and its crashing is worse now
On startup it crashes

WELL .... it can't CTD/crash more than it, apparently, did the first time.

I've tried to steer you in the general direction of, possibly, looking at your own installation procedure.

I've also asked you to provide information in regard to what particular panel you may be using with this simulation .... as well as suggesting that you provide more/better information than you have, so far, in regard to what you've actually done, or, are trying to do .... BUT .... you've assisted properly with neither !!!!

I've tried to assist you .... but .... "VAGUE" Single sentence communications (from you/anyone) are hardly the best means by which to solicit assistance with, and desirably resolve, any particular issue .... which might benefit to other users as well.

In order tro be able to "TRY" and assist you/anyone greater effort is required "on your part" .... OR .... we risk ending up getting nowhere .... and nobody else benefits as a result.

Beyond what I've already communicated above .... there's nothing (so far as I'm aware) associated the basic HJG B717-200 simulation that's known to inclined toward provoke any CTD/crash in FSX .... or even FS9/2004 for that matter.

There must be something that you're doing not doing right as part of your own installation procedure .... OR .... you're, maybe, trying to apply something else to your simulation that's, possibly, not compatible with FSX.

ONCE AGAIN .... more information is needed .... "FROM YOURSELF"

If you did install the HJG panel in FSX as direceted for FS9 or2004 than remove those files also. I'm an FSX user and they will definately give you some problems if you attempt them. This is from experience. If that doesn't help than sounds like you will have to reload FSX.

YEP .... "in the absence of more definitive information", from him, that's what I suspect he "might" have done

A particular frustrations which that confronts the HJG "GO TEAM" (FS air accident investigators) is when some folk simply aren't thorough enough in their description of a particular issue they might be experiencing (in order for HJG to be able to determine both precisely and quickly what's likely to have gone wrong or be the cause of their particular experience) .... and/or .... they only ever report as much as what they want to be known in respect of what they've actually done and which often the leaves HJG in the dark or otherwise trying to guess.

Whenever reporting a particular issue then it always pays to be "thorough/precise" .... even to the extent of providing a "complete description" (step by step if necessary) of what one's actually done.

I like to think that such reportng ultimately benefits more folk than might ever report a particular issue .... since not everyone likes to express themselves/participate in public forums.

Given the complexity of FS .... and some of the simulations offered by HJG in particular .... then it's usually impossible to troubleshoot on the basis of just "a vague single sentence communication"
