Here is the problem: I was doing flight CPA808 from Hong Kong to Chicago (some 14h on the published route) and had to abort the session, so saved the flight to be continued later. Then did my usual routine when loading a saved flight: Start ASN Start FSX Set the time and date to match the saved flight wait for ASN to resync the weather with the saved flight Load the flight However when the flight finished loading, the 77W did not initalize and was essentially dead metal. I tried using the MENU button on all three CDUs to manually load a panel state but to no avail. I tried this thrice over the day and each time it would fail to load properly. I never had this behaviour before SP1c but I am not sure yet if the problem is related to it or if it is reproducable. Any idea what could be wrong?

Hey all, My second attempt at the insane 11+ hour flight from Heathrow to Tokyo-Narita, over VATSIM. All of this was in real time, and I had VATSIM Supervisors check in twice during the flight! (Luckily enough, not during one of my "executive rest periods" i.e Nap Nap Time! ) The first time I tried, I fell asleep right after entering Japanese airspace.. So frustrating! -- Speedbird 5 prepping for her voyage, filling up on food for the airplane and the PAX. -- SID and RW is in, arriving EZY aircraft wished me good luck on my trip over UNICOM, what a lovely chap. Loving the reflections on the glass @ Aerosoft/SimWing's Heathrow.. -- Takeoff and banking right on a typical dreary, cloudy, British morning. -- Fast forward 10 hours, here we are planning the approach into Narita. We'll be using the CVCSA STAR into ILS34L. The furthest ring is our DME arc from the NRE VOR, we'll be making our turn along this arc. The next ring in is our gear down marker. The folks at Narita want the gear down 12NM from the IYQ VOR to prevent ice-blocks falling into populated areas. The last ring in is 4NM from IYQ, which is our Landing Flap extension point. Again, Narita wants a delayed flap extension schedule, so we'll be nice and comply ;-) -- A random shot before making the arcing turn. -- Just before we bring down the gear @ 12NM from IYQ. -- Holding 169 knots, just before we bring out landing flaps at 159 knots @ 4nm from IYQ. A/P Disconnected, the big bird is mine after almost 11 hours! -- Slowed to VRef as we bring out landing flap 25. -- 11 hours and 5 minutes on the clock. Speedbird 5 has landed! Jobs not done yet though, Narita has a BUNCH of complex intersections. *sigh* -- Rampie got this picture of 'er after we docked up. Lovely! -- This brings an end to our pseudo trip report! I hope you fellas enjoyed it.. ;-) Sorry for uploading to Flickr, Imgur refused to let me upload, no idea why.
