No matter what aircraft I use, flight sim fails after a turn is made while approaching ABQ. Here is the route as per vroute FL290. MTU JNC J15 RSK J15 TANER ESPAN FRIHO4. Have no other problems with any other airports. Have attempted this flight at least six times with two aircraft, A320 and the CRJ-200.

It's very possible that your FS crashes due to available memory. What's your specs (what is your PC made from)?

Check all your scenery files ....I had the same problem in the Washington DC area and after many months I find out that KBWI upload was making my FS to freeze.

If you have any add-on scenery then that is more likely. But at what point exactly is it freezing? Is it on final, or when approaching from the north?

Try going into ABQ from a different airport. If it works I suggest you do as Vincenzo suggested. If it doesn't then it's either a scenery problem or hardware problem. If it's a scenery problem, you'll either have to reinstall or install an add-on scenery (which might just make it worse).

Ok, thanks for the info. I will check the scxenery files. And yes this happens when I approch from the north.
