The "Ugly" Crashes & Fixes (Stock & Repack)

You will still suffer the famous "FSX has stopped working" error. The repack doesn't fix this. Here is your checklist: Note: This content is provided for informational and

  1. UIAutomationCore.dll: Download this and put it in the main FSX folder. Required for menu bar crashes.
  2. HighMemFix=1: Ensure this is set to 1 in the fsx.cfg file. The repack likely sets this, but check.
  3. VAS (Virtual Address Space): The repack doesn't change the fact FSX is 32-bit. It will crash at 3.2GB RAM usage. Use the "Large Address Aware" flag (FitGirl usually enables this by default on the .exe).

Part 6: Troubleshooting the Repack

Users of the "Microsoft-flight-simulator-x-steam-edition-v10-0-62615-0-fitgirl" package frequently encounter three specific errors: The "Ugly" Crashes & Fixes (Stock & Repack)

Error 1: "MSVCR100.dll missing"

  • Fix: Install Visual C++ Redistributable 2010-2022 package. The repack installer usually has a "Check Redist" button.

Error 2: Crash on Launch (0xc0000142)

  • Fix: Right-click the fsx.exe > Properties > Compatibility > "Disable fullscreen optimizations" and "Run as administrator." Also, ensure Windows Defender is not quarantining the "steam_api.dll".

Error 3: "Unable to write to disk" during installation UIAutomationCore

  • Fix: The repack unpacks temporary files to your %TEMP% folder. Ensure you have 15GB of free space on your C: drive, even if installing to D:.

Installation Caveats

Due to the nature of FSX’s file structure (thousands of tiny scenery files, plus massive texture archives), this repack has one notorious trait: slow installation.

  • Average install time: 20–35 minutes on an HDD; 8–12 minutes on an SSD.
  • RAM requirement during setup: At least 2 GB, but 4 GB recommended to avoid page thrashing.
  • The “MD5 mismatch” issue: Some users report hash failures on effects or scenery\world\texture. This is often caused by antivirus quarantining the crack (the steam_api.dll replacement).
