Once in a while on a flight where I guessed what the payload was and got it wrong, I will go to the fmc and change the payload and fuel, while in the air flying. I noticed that later on in the flight, sometimes a few hours in, the game will freeze and I'd have to ctrl alt del. Does anyone else get this freeze in the middle of a flight, and did you also happen to change fuel or payload after taking off?

This is for sure the cause of it. FSX just froze about 15 minutes after I changed the fuel and payload while at cruise altitude. I changed the payload then went into the pref page and adjusted numbers there. Then a few minutes later, bam, fsx frozen.

Hi, David,

 

Maybe you should file a ticket with PMDG on this, as many people have reported freezes lasting from a few minutes to much longer.  I believe this issue was holding up release of SP1.  You might help them figure it out.

 

Other than that, it's not standard practice to eject virtual passengers in mid flight! :Just Kidding:

 

Thanks,

 

Mike

Don't worry, I only fly freighters and boxes can't feel pain

Didn't know the 777 had a rear cargo ramp for parachute drops of cargo!!

Hi! Which programs are you running, if any, besides FSX? Thinking about wx etc..
