I've been using FS9 since it came out and never encountered this one. When calling up the start airport KSEA, the screen starts downloading the files for that area and before it gets any (0%) it freezes up and the only way I can get out is to invoke the task manager and 'end task' for FS9. I tried starting in Vancouver and flying to Seattle and when I get to where you can see the airport start to generate detail, the screen freezes up (with sound but no control of the airplane). When I start at Boeing Field it freezes too, but when in the air from Vancouver, I can see boeing field scenery is some detail before it freezes. I am using the default airport scenery for KSEA. Any thoughts out there please?Ynot

I've had exact the same problem. I did tried to solve it for several days, but so far nothing helps. Elsewere in the forum i red something about scenerys from Asingh Sing as New Mumbai etc. But excluding that particular scenery from scenery.cfg doesn't help. It seems that our flightsimulatorgame needs a lt of patience. :( robbarg
