I finally got the game running on my desktop, and was so happy. I than try to sign in, and see that an update is required, I thought well this can't be that bad. Well, I applied the update, restarted my computer, and now the PC crashes at the screen where it says to press any button. I thought maybe it was a one time occurrence, restarted my PC, and the game than crashed at the xbox live sign in area. The game freezes and the audio is stuck at the same time, my error before was that I was getting the black screen of death. Now I can start the game, but the game freezes within a seconds of starting. So, any help/tips would be much appreciated.

What operating system you using?

I am using Windows 7, 64 bit, and just recently installed the 12.2 AMD drivers. Before the drivers, the game wouldn't start for love or money, IE black screen of death. Now, at least the game runs for a bit, before crashing. Thanks for the email, I'll do that as soon as possible and see what suggestions they have.

installed the 12.2 AMD drivers.

I thought there was something posted here about the AMD 12.2 drivers...http://forum.avsim.net/topic/365253-ati-122-drivers-and-flight-pass/page__hl__amd+drivers__fromsearch__1

Somewhere I read of a similar problem.Try this, as reported in the beta site:1) Run another GFWL enabled game2) Sign out any profiles that are in use (Local profiles or GFWL profiles)3) Close the the game4) Run FlightIf that doesn't work, please post here the problem report if any. Here is how to get them: Type "View all Problem Reports" (w/out quotations),Find "Flight Application" if Present, doubleclick on it. Copy and paste here and I will relay it to the beta site.(The BucketID number is very important, if present)
