Whenever I try and load the Dash-8, FS just dies and kicks me back to windows. The first two times it started to load, and came up with an error message. Now it just kicks me out without even trying to load. I have already tried rebooting my computer and reinstalling the DHC-8 with no success. Any suggestions?

If you are using FSX, CTD(crash to desktop) was an error I could never resolve and had to go back to FS9. I'm sure others will have better advice though.

No, I didn't bother saying which FS because the DHC-8 is an FS9 only airplane. It is the only aircraft that has this problem though. That is what has me stumped.

If it is the PSS Dash, it is basically a flawed program.

What is the error message you get? And what version of the -8 (fleet, payware)?

I don't remember exactly the error but I can't check it because now I get sent directly back to the desktop. It doesn't even try to start loading after I click start flight. I think it was something along the lines of "MSFS has encountered an error and needs to close." I remember thinking it was something FS related because of a couple of the lines in the error report; there were three and I think (though I am unsure) that one of them was FS9.exe and the other one was a scenery related error. I am unsure if it is an FS problem since the dash-8 is the only airplane with this problem. I am using the fleet DHC-8.
