For a couple weeks I have had this issue where about a dozen of the planes in my hangar would crash my system to BSoD whenever they try to load in the rotating kiosk. One of them, the A2A P-47, I uninstalled and reinstalled several times, making sure EVERYTHING that had anything to do with the Jug, and it would still crash the system. I found one issue with it; a certain .dll file in the gauge folder that was peculiar to the P-47, seemed to be the cause. I removed it, the P-47 seemed to work correctly, and all was well. Until I tried to use my CS weapons. Then whichever plane had weapons activated would crash the system, same as before. Today I completely uninstalled everything in FSX and then FSX itself. I also deleted everything remaining in the directory and started with a fresh install of FSX and Accel pack. I then installed most of my planes and made sure they worked. Then I installed CS Weapons and tried it... and I got the same results. If I try to load a plane that has the weapons activated, the machine crashes to BSoD and restarts. I don't even get as far as loading the thing to fly it. It crashes just trying to load it in the rotating kiosk screen of a thing. So now I have no idea what to do... Open to suggestions...

Well, i would uninstall cs weapons, then check everything.
If it works, i'll try a new version of the program and check again! You surely get something fsx dont like.

Give your PC a clean out. Half of the carpet might be in there.

I loathe the day I purchased CS Weapons.  Cry

Never had a BSoD difficulty, had an everything-perpetually-firing-everything difficulty.  Let me explain....as soon as I hit the 'master arm' all the weapons variants would fire/launch/drop at the same time and would not stop.  I hafta admit that it was a novelty at first 'cause I was lightin' up some acreage with rocket/missile/bomb hits!  (decimated Pensacola NAS in about 17 seconds the first time it happened)

This didn't happen right away mind you, but one at a time over the course of say flights 6 or 7 to 10 or 12 or so.

But then the novelty quickly wore off when seconds into the flight of a CSW equipped aircraft it'd light up regardless of master arming or not.

The only solution, despite repeated attempts at uninstalls/reinstalls, was to remove CSW from everywhere I had added it.

Running W7/64bit with an ATI card by the way. 

I tried every which way, including CS Support, and never was able to get it to work.....even with a "stripped-down" FSX with just a 5 craft hangar running off of a 1TB ExHD.

I wish my tribulation(s) would've been a simple BSoD.  Such being the case I wouldn't have tried to fix it over and over and over and over again. Embarrassed
 

I love the smell of radials in the morning!
