I need some help!!

Postby ptrkrsh » Wed Nov 12, 2008 4:56 pm

My sim was running flawlessly for the past few months. Today after the sim booted I clicked on the change aircraft tab and picked a new plane. the second I pick a new plane the selected aircraft name changes and the sim then completely freezes. It doesn't matter which aircraft I select it is always the same outcome. After 1 or 2 minutes the "Program is not responding" dialog pops up. I have clicked wait for program to respond to no avail. I really don't want to have to reinstall everything from the ground up, I just finally got rid of the butt cramps from the last time I did. Any help is appreciated.

I sometimes get that, but only on certain aircraft. Really annoying.

When my rig starts getting obstinate I always go through the stickies step by step to make sure everything is still set up right. 9 times out of 10 it has helped me.  :)

Try deleting your CFG ( don't forget to make a copy ) than fire up the sim and it will write a new one. 50% of the time, doing that might work.
