FS9 MCDU causing lockups

Featured Replies

Hello again. I seem to be having an issue every once in a while with the MCDU in the MD-11. I'm getting complete freezing of the simulator when I enter certain information in the MCDU - it seems to be related to the approach information when selecting runways or modifying the flight plan list. I believe this last one I just had occured when I accidentally tried to insert a waypoint on the line which said "END OF F-PLN". No CTD or messages, just a total freeze.I don't get this all the time, but only when fiddling with the MCDU and in this plane only. I saw another thread relating to the FSX version and someone referring to another for the FS9 version, but was unable to find it.If anyone could give me a hand or point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.ThanksRobert

Figure I'll bump this up since there are so many inquiries regarding the JS41 and the fact that I can't access the other pages for some reason.

This is like a brain teaser..., a few complaints of this nature over the past year. Usually the problem goes away when approaches and arrivals are LATREV'ed from the fix before the last fix and never from the destination. Hope this helps.
