I have FSX on a Windows 7 system. I can start up FSX, set up a default 319 at KSLC, and change the aircraft to the fleet 767. If I press F1 to bring up the cockpit panel, most of the time FSX crashes and restarts. I've had a couple of occasions when I could run for a little bit, even took off once, but it still crashes.

BTW, I have the fleet MD-88 and fly it with no probems.

Any ideas? I'm trying to get my skills up on this aircraft in preparation for the 767 checkride.

Have you tryed turning off crash detection in your sim settings? I can't figure out why it wont work for you. I installed it in my windows 7 FSX and it worked fine. I just uninstalled it because I bought the CLS 767. I noticed you said you start up with an a319 and then switch the A/C after starting the flight? Now I've had some problems doing that in the past. I would try selecting the 767 before you start the flight and see what happens then.

I was finally able to spend some time on my problem.

When I installed the fleet 767, I gave it the check to install FSUIPC 4.604. I have a registered copy, so, I reinstalled the one I have. It's 4.60a. I brought up FSX, loaded the fleet 767 at KSLC on RW16R and hit enter. Immediately I hear an alarm going off. I finally figured out that is was the gear. Somehow, it was set to up on the load. I set it to down and the alarm quit. I was able to take off, but FSX crashed and tired to recycle. If I start task manager as soon as I realize that it's going down, I see the WmiPrSV.exe is using about 50% CPU. Now, I don't know if this issue. It may be something else that I miss before bring up task manager.

That was yesterday. Today, I tired again. I loaded FSX, set up a flight from the default 319 at KSLC on RW16R and loaded it. No problems. I changed aircraft to the fleet 767. No problems and no alarm. Hmmmmm! I loaded a flight plan, started ACARS, connected, loaded a flight plan, and started a flight. I was able to do the complete flight without issue. This is very strange. I'll try it again to see if this flight was a fluke.

Well, I few the checkride for the 767 again without FSX crashing. The only thing I can think of that could have been the root of this prolbem is installing the FSUIPC verions 4.604 that came with the fleet 767. Once I reinstalled verions 4.60a, the problem did not occur. If this problem rises again, I'll post it. For now, it appears that the issue is resolved.
