I noticed when I save a flight with an non-default aircraft, I can't directly reload it. I have to choose that aircraft and then I can reload the flight. Otherwise I get an error, or sometimes a weird error happens: the loading bar stays open, and the main FS window hides - I can only restore it when it's loaded, by doing alt+enter for full screen. That of course only happens if I try to load when previously FSX was in windowed mode...Anyway, loading of flights is not as seamless as it was in FS9, it seems.Anyone experiencing similar problems?

Yes I am aware of that issue with MSFS. However I always load the LDS767 when I open FSX. I fly from the last place that I land. However you can change the plane without the error from the FSX start screen, where you change time, airport etc. That screen you access from the free flight menu, from there you can make any change you want. Where are making the change from one plane to the other?Bob

Mostly before the flight. And when I have to load a flight, then a workaround is to load THAT aircraft before loading the flight.

Don't quite follow you when you say before the flight. Are you changing things via the FS CFG? Are you using some other method to make the changes outside of FS?Bob

I've been having odd problems with FSX lately, usually it pertains to loading a flight or loading the game in general. And track IR is playing a a role too. Sometimes TIR works in Windows, but not once I get in game. Sometimes FSX won't even fully load and it just freezes. I get this at least once a week, maybe more frequently. My default flight (show opening screen = 0) is The Carenado Arrow VC on a runway.

Oh boy :( Before flight means before I press Fly Now. In the sim, but before I go into the flight. I have to change to THAT aircraft that is in the loaded flight, if it's not a DEFAULT MS aircraft.

Ryan, before it was an issue, I don't know how it works out now - in the early times it has been said your default flight should be Cessna 172, started up, with avionics switch on, otherwise you would have problems with some other payware addon aircraft. Times maybe have changed, but I keep that policy up to today... And never had any problem with any addon aircraft. Except that one, that the main window closes when I don't load the aircraft in the FS menu first. Sometimes I even get FSX crashes if I don't load the aircraft first.
