This just started today.....but when i try to change aircraft, after pressing OK, the screen goes black and FS exits to the desktop.

Any Ideas?

Hi Mic.

Have you installed any addons, panels etc since the last time you were able to switch planes? When you try to switch, does it start to load the new plane before it crashes out, or does it do it immediately you select?

I've seen in the past with a couple of panels, that some XML gauges can do this if they haven't been de-bugged properly.

...just out of interest, I have had the same thing happen a few times, mostly if I try to change from a default aircraft to a 3rd party downloaded aircraft....

...don't know why....it's just annoying....
I generally curse, blame it on the weather, then start all over again...;D...!

Hi Paul,

Steak and kidney - lucky blighter! I'm just off to Heathrow to fetch my son, and then we're into central London (Shepherd's Bush) to see Asia at their London gig. (Remember Asia, the 80s supergroup?)

So no S&K for me today...
