When flying a non-DVA AC I have no problem saving the flight when I have to and then coming back and re-loading. Not so with the DVA 757. FSX lets me save it and I can see it in the My Saved Flights section but when I try to reload it, the system locks up. Is there something built in into DVA flights that prohibit you from saving and then picking up where you left off?

This is a flaw with the DVA 757 and 767 panels. You'll need to save the flight in ACARS using the .save command.

Cheers!

There is a way to save with the DVA 757 that I saw in a different thread once. You know how all of the panels are up when you first load up a flight? BEFORE you save, bring ALL of them up again and then save. This will allow it to work correctly. The credit for this goes to Jim Warner who helped out a DVA member a couple of months ago with this bug.
