February 12, 20179 yr Please provide further details on the crash - a screenshot would be preferable. Also - can you tell us if you have other add-ons that interfere with Shaders or add DirectX DLLs in the FSX folder?
February 13, 20179 yr Hello Q: I am getting the "Flight Simulator has detected a problem with a third-party software program (add-on): Name FSLSpotlights.dll or other .dlls): Do you want to run this software (not recommended)? Then, even if I click Yes, Flight Simulator crashes. A: This is because something caused an error in a previous load of Flight Simulator and Windows decided to intervene and permanently mark that DLL as unsafe. You need to run "regedit", find the registry setting for HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers and in there, edit the entry for fsx.exe to REMOVE any mentions of Data = $IgnoreFreeLibrary<FSLSounds.dll> (or the other FSL dlls accordingly). Then, restart FSX - you'll get the error message once again, but click Yes, and the application will work correctly this time. Also, make sure your FSX is running as Administrator. This helps ;-)
