Hello everybody, I might have found a potential fix for this (my ) problem. If I create a new "Flight Simulator X files" directory in my documents directory which is empty, then the problem I decribed vanishes. I have to do more testing, do more flights and so on, but what seems to be the problem is when you type in, for example, EGGL as your departure airport and the FMS software finds a lot of flights with this dep. in your "Flight Simulator X files" directory ( or maybe to many flights at all) it crashes. This might have to do with the FMS feature of loading flights directly from the FMS, may be it can only handle a certain amount of flights in your "Flight Simulator X files" directory or only certain amounts of flights with the given departure. But thats pure speculation, again I have to do more testing. But for the time being the problem seems to be fixed. regards Matthias Hiebing

Hello everybody, I've got a problem with the MD-11 when I try to enter a flight plan manually. Whenever I try to enter the arrival and destination airport in the INIT page (for example EGLL/LSZH) , fsx freezes and then crashes to desktop. It doesn't matter what kind of airport I try to put in it always freezes. I also tried different panel states, but nothing works. I also tried to reinstall the MD-11 but that did not fix the problem either. Interestingly loading the company route from the tutorial works, but when I the try to provide an alternate airport the sim crashes again. The PMDG JS4100 that I have seems to have the same problem when manually entering a flightplan into the FMS. Although I haven't look further into that problem. I'm using FSX with Acc. pack installed. The version of the MD-11 is 1.2.00055. Thanks in advance Matthias Hiebing

Hallo Pete, you know it really helps to _carefully_ read the content of a post, as I should have done with yours. I reinstalled the MD11, but I never bothered to do a simple repair, as you suggested. I did the repair now, and guess what, it works, problem solved. Thanks again Matthias

Thanks for your answer pete. But I already tried this (did not mention it in my first post though). It's really strange that it only affects one particular airport. Thank you Matthias

Hello everybody, i've got a weird problem with a flightplan entry. Everytime I try to enter a flightplan into the FMS with EDDF as destination or arrival the FMS freezes FSX. For eample the entry EDDF/KORD will freeze FSX. The weird thing is that the problem seems to be limited to EDDF, other airports entries (EGLL, LSZH you name it) don't have the problem. This wasn't always the case, at one point I could use EDDF as arrival or destination. I've tried different things to solve the issue, I reinstalled the default scenery of EDDF, used a different AIRAC ( even the originally shipped one) or tried to load different panel states, but nothing seems to help. Is anybody out there who had a similar problem like this and got it fixed? If yes I would like to know how. I'm using the MD-11 version 1.2.00055, FSX is SP2 with AC pack installed. Thanks Matthias Hiebing
