Good day folksI'm facing a big problem when flying and that leads me to not use the aircraft since the time I buy it.The question is:Everything works fine till I takeoff, after that the behaviour of the aircraft changes. viz:almost every 30 seconds freezes not only the aicraft but also all the programs like FSMETEO, FLIGHT KEEPER etc another 30 seconds all is goods and so on.On a 3 hours flight it will take me about 4 hours and for landing its really a mess.That happens only with this aircraf which sounds very strange.I deeply appreciate any help, otherwise I cant use the aircraft.Thank youJoao Borges

Hello Joao,I'd like to know your system specs(including FlightSim-version), and what programs you run when flying the PMDG 747.You have to free a lot of your system resources i.e RAM and virtual memory.The 747 uses a lot of ur system resources.Try freeing your RAM and let me know.I even suggest you to delete the FS9 config file and let FS rebuild it again.Regards,-NavneetFS 2004 Version 9.1AMD Athlon 64 3000+ATI Radeon 9600 128MB - Anti-Aliasing 6x1GB DDR400 Kingston RAMWestern Digital 30 GB - Seagate 120 GB (7200 rpm)Sony DVDRW - 16XLG Flatron 775FT 17' MonitorCreative SBLive!

it looks like the autosave function from fsupic, which was discussed widely in the old forum) check if you have a autosave.dll in your modules folder. if yes, try to rename it to autosave.dll.bak and see if it can solve the problem

Hi NavneetThanks for the reply and suggestion, meanwhile my system specs areFS 2004 Version 9.1INTEL 2.6 Hyper ThreadingATI Radeon 9600 128MB - Anti-Aliasing 6x1.5GB DDR400 Kingston RAMMAxtor 160GB (7200 rpm)Sony CDRW - 52x24x52Pioneer DVDRW AXOLNokia 449MCreative Inspire 5.1 5200Windows XP Pro SP2 v.2180Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro 2Logitech Cordless Optical MouseDo you suggest any program to free memory ?Many thanksJoao Borges

Hi Joao,You can try tune-up utilities available at :http://www.tune-up.com/info/lp/tuneup-utilities/?ap=1614or you can try Mem Turbo available at :www.memturbo.com (very useful utility)and use EnditAll version 2.0 to kill programs(presently in memory) that can be killed which itself will free your system's memory.EnditAll 2.0Available at : http://home.ptd.net/~don5408/toolbox/enditall/ (helps a lot great software)Let me know your results.-NavneetFS 2004 Version 9.1AMD Athlon 64 3000+ATI Radeon 9600 128MB - Anti-Aliasing 6x1GB DDR400 Kingston RAMWestern Digital 30 GB - Seagate 120 GB (7200 rpm)Sony DVDRW - 16XLG Flatron 775FT 17' MonitorCreative SBLive!

While you are at it, go to your hardware settings and dissable HT. Produced a noticeable impact on my P4-3.2- Neeraj.

Neraaj, gents,I would not be that sure HT will impact his system. I have a 2.8GHz system with HT on. I've tested both with and without HT and didn't see any difference what-so-ever.I do remember that some add-on had difficulties with HT though. But as I recall it was an add-on which I didn't have or planned on getting so I forgot all about it. ;-)But by all means go ahead and try.Cheers,

Hi folksThank you all of you, who help me to solve the 1
