Active Sky 16 crashes when select a flight plan

Featured Replies

I have a windows 7, 64 bit PC. I use FSX.  Whenever I attempt to open a flight plan, I receive a message saying " active sky 16 has stopped working.  Windows will look for a solution".  Now, I have created flight plans using PFPX,  the  built in flight planner in FSX,  and even created a flight plan  using the Active Sky planner.  All three flail to work, the program always crashes with the same error message.

Now what is a bit strange is that if I continue to use FSX, I find Active Sky 16 has loaded weather into the simulator.  However, a message does come from active sky saying I should load a flight plan for better results.

Any ideas how to fix this issue/

Thanks,

Jim

I'd post this on HiFi's own forums for technical support.  I use AS16 in FSX:SE and never have errors with loading PFPX flight plans, or FSX created FPs.

I did a Windows update, and now ActiveSky is working correctly.

Thanks for the input.
