Thank you ...but i uninstalled FS9 completely, deleted all files. reinstalled DirectX9. Installed the buses and the Dash 8. All are working as advertised. I still have not installed my other addons yet. I do want to find out if there is a problem with other addons. I've installed all addons except for Ultimate traffic and my sceneries. I will keep you posted, since a lot of issues people are having could be related, if they are using the same programs I am.v/rTodd Hontz

Todd,I have the same problem, I told it into this forum but noone could help me, if you have news, could you tell me on this forum???thank you

Todd,Make sure that you only install one add-on at a timethen leave it for a week or two or longer, while constantly flying.Otherwise you have no hope of eliminating most of thevariables. I test rigorously after any single cfg change.Peter Sydney Australia

Yes... So far I installed each addon one at a time. I would do a few flights, test autopilot, install different airac cycles. So far all is well. I've installed Ultimate Traffic (UT) for FS9. So far so good. I've have not reinstalled the following...Simflyers scenery, fly sceneries, and RealityXP guages. I'm waiting to see how things go. The only thing I woulds say is if you have multiple addons be sure to reboot your computer even though many do not require it. In addition if you use UT be sure to backup your current version of FSUIPC per the instructions on their website.I will keep you up to date when I install the other things. I hope we can get you flying. v/rTodd Hontz

[hontzt 14]

Thanks for the advice I will do that with the remainder of the addons. So far things are running well. I will test run the Airbuses a few more times. v/r Todd Hontz
