Hi,Does anyone experience a crash to desktop with FS2004 ???I have it on a new computer, fresh mounted.AMD 3200 - ASUS A7N8X-8 Motherboard with 512 MEg of RAM - Pixelview GEforcce FX 5600 XT 128 Mg with Forceware drivers 53.03for Win 2000 Pro.There is in my opinion an issue with the video or the RAM. I do have too much black screen also when toggling between views.Sometimes, when toggling, I do see for a short moment the last open menu screen. Very strange. It is a machine just dedicated to FS. Nothing else installed.The only Add-ons are the Mesh scenery by Lago but I have them on a other computer running stable.Thanks and peacefull Xmas to all.Roger

Hi Roger,I believe the CTD, crash to desktop, is a well-documented bug in the way FS handles moving from certain regions to other regions on only specific periods of seasons of the year. It appears to be independent of whether or not you are using hi res 3rd party mesh or default. There is a patch that improves this, but there is some degradation of airport textures in some area. DO a search and you will find stuff on this on this site.Noel

Noel,Thanks. I will do the search. Happy XmasRoger
