Hello,Before everything was just fine, then a strange problem started... The issue is that when I push out, start the right engine, everything is just fine, then when starting the first one the problem appears. I turn the fuel valve of 1st engine to IDLE when N1 is approx 21.5 and then it like hangs the FS for some seconds afterwhat the situation stabilizes again and I can continue with my procedures. Its now facing up everytime I start the beauty up. Any ideas?P.S.Maybe somebody here can answer to my other question - for some reason, when in full screen mode and for example pressing ALT key to get menu, FS again hangs for a few secs and then I can do what I want. Also it hangs when opening FSNav and Chat window for example. It doesnt show up in Windowed mode. Its very uncomfortable especially when flying in VATSIM, because controllers then see me pausing the FS. And ofcourse its extremely bad to write txt messages via chatwindow when its neccessary. I am completely loosing my mind with this, its just eating my nerves :D. Hope that somebody maybe knows the answer.

G'Day mateFrom experiance, I would say that the pausing is due to the computer resources being used up. You say you use VATSIM, so I presume that you have other programs loaded.. all which contribute to slow computer performance.If you close all programs that are not needed, and just try and run FS2004 after a fresh computer restart.. see how things are...Cheers,Ryan

No thats absolutely not the problem. Its just in fullscreen mode and my PC has never been overloaded yet. VATSIM applications are all running on server machine via WideFS.

What kind of video card are you using?Even if you still have a lot of system memory, when in full screen mode, your graphics card is working much harder than when FS is in windowed mode.

I have ATI Radeon 9500 Pro 128MB.
