At what point does it crash?

You likely have serveral versions of VC++ installed on your computer and the wrong version is being loaded when X-plane starts.

A lot of program installers love to install their own versions.

I've seen computers with over 36 different VC++ installations!!!

The best thing to do is to uninstall all versions, then either re-install the version provided with X-plane and/or verify game files to force a re-install of VC++.

X-Plane is compiled with VS 2015, so if you get a crash in the 2005 runtime, it must be from an aftermarket software, plugin, or driver that was compiled for the 2005 runtime, not X-Plane.

Thanks everyone
I will have a look and remove all my plugins and any other VC++ editions. The error normally comes up after about an 1hr and 30 mins of x plane running time.

Read this again and check if you have the appropriate year:

Yup, as Draco says, you have a plugin using C++ 2005 that is picking up the wrong version.

Either disable the plugin or uninstall the two 2005 libraries and install the one the plugin needs.

I will try doing that. thanks very much - im relatively new to x plane so im still trying to find me feet.
On control panel, one of the VC++ versions say if you uninstall it, some files may not work correctly - could that be the plugin?

[opjose]

You can have multiple programs installed that require VCC++ 2005.

You could go through everything on your computer and find which programs require 2005, or take the easier approach and uninstall both, reboot, and install the version required by the plugin.

I would give priority to the later version however.

If one program installs an earlier version and another a later version, it is likely that both programs work correctly with the later version alone.

Ok, thanks, I will just go and clear out my plugins. i have also noticed some missing scenery file errors, so i might just un-install x plane and redownload it
