Hi there Bryan
I am also having this problem with fscaptain. It was not always like this, two updates back it all worked fine.
I even uninstalled the newest version of fscaptain and went back to the old version to test, only to find that it works.
SO, saying that, I did all of the above and still a major crash as I load the plane, and that is without fscaptain's window in the panel.
Any Idea?
