Today afternoon I was still a happy new a330 flyer.. Then I made two (or four) things after which i'm not so happy anymore:1. I found that a330 was flying curiously especially in the take-offs.. Then i read on this forum and found new flightmodels which i installed..2. My flying happens mainly in vatsim and i thought after a couple of off-line flights, that now it's the time for the real thing..I pre-planned, calculated etc. my flightplan better (or at least consuming more time..) than ever before. Three consecutive ( three different routes, a shutdown of my comp between them) vatsim-flight were ending no more than 35 mins after departure ( one lock-up, a "ntdll.dll" and a "g3d.dll").. I was hesitating.. what is wrong now?Then I ( i'm on holiday right now) decided to take my good old pss A319 ( a JustFlight version) from the hangar. And a long flight with a very fluent performance...And I can't imagine that my hardware was so poor.. AMD xp3000+, 1256 Mb 400ddr, 40GB free on HD, Ati9600, ...PetteriFinland

OK.. I'm still trying. I made a longer flight in an add-on scenery area today noon.. i was even playing with different views. All went ok. And the big bus was a joy to handle. Then I despite of yesterday's experiences decided to go on-line: a vatsim flight in a def scen area.. again 30 mins and a black screen. And I didn't even play with spotviews etc.. This time it was util.dll that was said to cause the "error"... After this (4th)frustrating try I took again A319 and flew a succesful vatsim flight.Something seems now to be wrong..I use:FS9 with a lot of add-on sceneries (both free- and payware)SB + SBhost.exeSB relayAVCServInfoRegardsPetteri

A more pleasant update:I updated my bios and installed new omega-drivers..Yesterday I finally flew a 90 min vatsim-flight without crash...Then I made a second flight ESSA-EHAM.. fs9 crashed already on the runway when preparing for takeoff.. (modulename:unknown)After that I rapidly made a new attempt and everything was ok. In this second attempt I didn't follow the manual's instructions for proper start procedures but instead pressed ctrl+e because I wanted to speed things up. No black screens. :)
