Hi Craig,I'm really glad that you've posted this and I agree wholeheartedly with what you've said. I did post a message a few days ago in similar vein but had no reply.The problem is that for me and I guess some others, I can't for various reasons often set enough time aside to do a whole flight so ideally I want to save my current position and come back to it later to carry on. I then have the same problems you've described - APU not running, messed up FMC etc. It's geting to the stage now where I think twice about using the queen - and I've just shelled out on the freighter also!!Just for info - and no criticism intended of PMDG - I have no trouble saving the Lvl-D 767 at any stage of a flight.So I guess my question is this - are the people who can't save the queen successfully few and far between or is it that most only do complete flight and don't need to - hope that makes sense.I hope someone can help because it does seem from all the searching on the forum and reading of the manual that I've done that we should be able to save the flight at any stage and return to it successfully - and it's a real shame because these 2 planes aren't cheap and I'm getting to the stage that I don't want to use them for fear of wasting my time. Fingers crossed.........Andy
