Freezing on Final

Featured Replies

I dont know if this is a FS or a RC problem. I flew twice from IAH to BWI. All went well except for chatter quitting. But when I turned on final which was 12 miles out my computer froze. My CUP was at 100%. I was on final to rwy 28. I tried rebuilding the scenery file in FS also I ran make runway. This is frustrating as I have lost 2 1/2 hrs of flying both times. Any help is appreacative.

I'll let those who know comment on the issue, but meanwhile would highly recommend installation of Autosave.dll by Peter Dowson (at http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html). It will save your flight at defined intervals and will thus let you restart your flight in case of such problems. I was quite surprised when I installed Radar Contact to find it saves the RC position too.John

autosave doesn't save the .rcd, rc saves the .rcd every time a .flt and .wx file is saved by autosave.jd
