Hello Sam Many users have reported freezes during flight, A lot of these cases were resolved by updating or reinstalling Utility Add On's. Just one of these below was resolved by reinstalling FSUIPC, Although Adam Breed did make good comment that could possible to a contributing factor https://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=124814 ------------------------------------------------- Hello Amr These Add On's are situated in the Prepar3D v4 Add-ons folder in the Documents location of your PC. Personally speaking I would run a process of elimination Navigate to this location, Click and Move all the Add On folder out of this location and onto your Desktop, This will disconnect these Add Ons from Prepar3D. Then simply move back one Add On folder at a time into the Prepar3D v4 Add-ons folder, Then launch Prepar3D and test, Keeping adding the folders back one at a time and test as you go along. You will most likely find the problem this way

Hello lidorx7 With the exception of Orbx Global Base and FTX Trees, The Orbx Installers Install extra files to these locations Instead of modifying Prepar3D default files, This means you can either Update or reinstall Prepar3D and keep your entire Orbx Install in place.
