However, the thing on the aircraft selecting and the mouse wheel happened here too. But I got into the habit of clicking once into the screen before scrolling. Maybe it helps. As said, I think I saw some Avsim posts on a different FSX interface with lots of improvements. Maybe the a/c selecting is one of them, I haven't tried it. � http://www.codelegend.com/idealflight/

	There are two ways that I go about selecting an aircraft. By Publisher, or by Aircraft manufacturer. I mostly select by Publisher and have learned to hit the TAB key twice after that so that the aircraft boxes are then highlighted and I can then select the aircraft I want. I do it that way because it is easier and faster (for me) to use the keyboard than the mouse. It is no good me having it show only one of the models, as in one CS 707-300, because the one that is showns is least likely going to be the one I want to use. I can't win there.

	I didn't take anything in your posts as offensive, don't worry. � I think that FSX leaves a lot to be desired, but I also think that the package still is the best one out there, although I'm really interested in all fresh approaches. On some points, I also think that the criticism is ok, but also points to the need to look into solutions which are available. As said, one big advantage, maybe even the, is the open structure of the thing. This leads to some resource problems if people add too much, but also allows some smart devs to jump in and make it better on certain items.

	coolp, I am not "Blaming the basic software for crashes" I understand what you are saying when many of use run add-on's and MS can not be held accountable for any conflicts that the add-on may cause. I simply meant that it would be nice if they could incorporate in the error message an brief explanation of the error that caused the program to crash. You also wrote: Plain FSX default runs fine and doesn't crash by design. Well,,yes it did even before I added any add-on's. My system was a clean install of Windows 7 (with the recent updates and drivers) and just FSX installed, no other software installed. My computer is set-up to ONLY run FSX and nothing else. Again I know that everyone has a different set-up and different hardware etc.... It's almost impossible for a software company to have a program that will run well on every computer out there, it just sucks when my FSX was crashing.

	I think I only ever had a fatal error with a clean FSX installed (without any add-ons at all),seemed to be because my computer wasn't powerful enough for it (Core 2 Duo E6600, 4GB RAM and a 320MB 8800 GTS). Since upgrading to my current computer system (see my specs in my signature), in August last year, the only thing that causes a fatal error in FSX, is changing between my payware add-on aircraft. Although I always switch to the default C172 before switching to a different developers aircraft, after four or five times I get a fatal error (CTD). Nothing else I do causes a fatal error. I guess we have to consider that FSX was designed for a slightly different technology to what w have today, so that can cause problems, especially when there are no longer any updates or service packs. Just imagine, if ACES Studios was still improving FSX, we might be at SP10 by now. Mark

	Ah can't help you with this one, never had the fatal error problem since a complete rebuild and a change in the way I reinstalled FSX. That is FSX then SP2 then SP2, then Bojote tweaks, then external internal frame limiter program, then ORBX scenery then REX Weather, then Addon aircraft one by one. It always chokes a bit with the aircraft select however no matter what but comes good, not sure what is going on there but I suspect it is the way Windows (the graphic draw programming like X-Windows) draws and redraws windows but then comes good. Only real hang up I get is with saved cold n dark or saved flights. For some reason I can never get them to run again properly when they are saved either mid flight or as new start up after I have shutdown and closed FSX , so now I don't bother and I don't have the problem. The rest seems to be luck! Yeah and they sure could use an SP10 for FSX given all the updates and changes to the Windows operating system in the intervening period I just know one day there will be a new MS update or patch to WIN7 and nothing in FSX is going to work (Murphy's Law).

	You name it, it's all about the methods in use. From your screenshot, you are obviously a user of the 'very low approach' one to avoid the radar blips. Nice one!

	Most annoying thing, every time I do a proper A/P flight from A to B, my FSX will always(ALWAYS) crash on touchdown.
