"Now I wonder if this all could have something to do with FSUIPC? I'm still using an older version that seemed stable, . . ."That is funny. I just upgraded today to FSUIPC 3.30 from a version that was very stable but almost a year old. The newest version seems to be very stabel and has some nice features (it seems to exert controls over the FS9 weather, too) but I think that there is a problem. The Fanda Dash-8 appears to be quirky now and perhaps unusable with 3.30. Has anyone else noticed this? R-

Well, I too have just installed version 3.30 but it's too soon to see if anything has changed for me. I don't have the Fanda Dash-8 but if I find anything odd with anything else I will probably post a new thread.
