I'm posting this to say thanks to Avsim - and those who contibute to the knowledge base and file library here.Why?.............After running FS9 successfully since it came out - yesterday I suffered my first CTDs( other than an episode with the infamous railroad textures months ago).These were in the Anchorage area at Elmendorf or Lake Hood.Changing seasons stopped it so it seemed it had to be seasonal. I was able to come here- put in a search of posts for "seasonal CTD fix", download the fix - install it - all in a matter of minutes. Problem gone!It just made me realise how much help this forum and the information it contains is to all of us.Thankyou all.Dave

I'd like to second that vote of thanks.I couldn't imagine logging on in the morning and Avsim not being there.To everyone who makes Avsim what it is, thank you.Sincerely,Heather

What they said :-)I too went to Lake Hood last night and received a CTD. Went to the forums here and found the fix. Thanks for all your hard work Avsim!!Warm Regards,Paul

I have never had a CDT and I've never been to Lake Hood but, like Heather, I start most every day with a trip to AVSIM.com. Thanks AVSIM.It just occurred to me that since I won't be buying a new version of MSFS this year, that I will contribute that money to AVSIM to help keep this great Web site alive. They have spent lots of money recently on my behalf it is time for me to give some back. I'll do that as soon as I finish reading this forum. Thanks again AVSIM.R-
