When starting a new flight, my airplane immediately crashes as the program initiates the flight. It seems that the airplane is not being started at the correct elevation with respect to the ground and this is being interpreted as a crash. Then, my pilot record is updated with a additional crash. I also get stuck in the fly by view as a result.(A work around fix has already been found for this)Has anyone dealt with this bug?

I haven't seen or experienced this bug. Are you sure you didn't start on someone's plane instead?

Sometimes i have the same thing , usually after i crashed a plane , dont know what to do with it except for going to the map first before i get in the plane again.

When you get the new plane, does it work? I get locked in the fly by view.
