Has anyone had any problems with the Fleet 747 causing FS9 to freeze? I recently downloaded the Fleet Installer, installed fine, but when I try to load the 744 it causes FS9 to freeze. It just keeps waiting like its trying to load the aircraft. I am wondering if it has anything with the merge. I also tried loading the iFly 747 and the same problem occurs. This doesn't happen with any other aircraft I have (which is many). Any ideas?

Does the sim just freeze or does it give you an error message? You might try loading the default C172 first and then without exiting the flight, changing your aircraft to the 747 through the in flight menu.

You also must have full admin level rights to the entire FS folder structure.

1. I have full admin rights
2. It just hangs...Acts like it is loading but nothing ever happens. I tried loading this morning (at around 7 am), just got home (6:30 pm) and it is still froze. Had to force close the program.
3. I have loaded other aircraft, then tried loading the DVA 744, as well as the iFly 744 with the same problems. iFly worked fine until I installed DVA744.

I thought I'd post my issue here aswell, it seems my problem relates to the POSKY 747s whenever I utilise the push back feature, the nose wheel shoots up and the aircraft ends up with a tail strike, also when i slew as soon as I come out of that it seems to fly off with engines at full throttle, the default 747s dont do this, does anyone else have this issue

It seems as though I've got rid of the problem with the pushback by starting the engines then the nose drops back down, then shutdown and save as default, I guess if you save a default flight with another a/c then it has an affect on other types, now all I have to do is learn how to fly this queen GULP
