Hello guys! I hope to be as clear as possible, well, I am practicing in mentioned aircraft for my nearest Check Ride but my problem starts when I'm on final approach to any airport about 7 and 15 miles inbound, my display comes black and then crash to desktop, also happens in ground before take off and only with this aircraft happens, but some days ago I flew from KATL-KIAH and KMIA-MYNN and flights were perfect but I tried MMUN-MMMX and MMMX-MMGL and the problem persists I don't know what I do.

In PMDG support said me that I should check an TCAS2v7.dll file and a line in fs9.cfg file but everything is normal.

Here is my system specifications:
Windows 7 Ultimate 32bits
AMD Athlon II P360 Dual-Core 2.3GHz
3GB RAM
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 256MB
DirectX 11
FS9.1 Update

Thank you very much!

Sounds more like a problem with the fs9 scenery, does it happen with other aircraft?

At one time there was a corrupt file in the flight plan folder within pmdg. Try clearing that out and see if it helps. It makes sense because it is crashing when you would be entering data into the fmc.

Hello Remy and Bryan, thanks for your quick response.
No Remy, this only happens with this aircraft, I have not tried with 747 but with 737 doesn't happen. I read that could be a conflict whit airports with and without AES but the flights KATL-KIAH and KMIA-MYNN were with one only airport with AES (KATL).

Bryan, I will try to do what you said me and I notice you.

Thank you to both again! smile

Greetings!

Hi again! I think that I have solved my problem, I deleted the file that Bryan said me and another in flight simulator files, I made two diferent flights without problems.
I do not know which of these caused the problem but also I changed the type of FMC in PMDG options and I think that might be part of the problem.

Thank you very much for your help again smile

Greetings!

I am glad that did the trick Daniel. I would say that it was probably a corrupt flight plan folder. I know a lot of people experienced that same thing.
