Hi,

I've seen this with some aircraft, notably those with CFS2 vintage mdl files - the freeware Stirlling being my only current example. I've put it down to memory issues as when flying the Stirling the black screen always comes up after a while, with a longer flying time if the aircraft is the first one loaded after a PC reboot. The problem shows immediately if I save a flight with the Stirling and try and reopen it - total failure due to black screen.

It will be interesting if anyone with 3-4 GB of memory can replicate this. My PC runs XP pro with 1.5GB memory.

If someone could revise the mdl for the Stirling to avoid this they would make me very happy....
Regards,

Degsy
