Very old and apparently no solutions. Bummer.AI planes disappear after a few minutes while holding. Old forum posts with Googles searches, people recc AITP-X which of course is invalid if you use SP2.Too bad you couldn't edit .cfg file somehow...Oh well.

Try this out http://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=fs2004util&DLID=77729 Its a time out patcher. It should help you out with the problem.

Not sure if a FS2004 utility is going to work with FSX.

There is a FSX version. AITPX, but it only works with SP1 , developer only flew FS9 so didnt persue it any further. Still wish he would though.

Bummer...oh well, back to watching planes disappearing like magic.I ditto pursuing AITPX - like even sending the guy $5.00 or so! I KNEW I should have not upgraded to SP2!!!! Thanks for all the input. I hate to try 2004 utility for FSX as I just after several weeks have FSX running pretty good right now and don't wanna screw it all up - again.Ugh.
