FSX - whats coming?

Haha refueling eh?  I've heard you can do that but don't know the details of how to.   I downloaded the T-45 but will need to pick up Acceleration to make it fully functional, will do that soon. 

So I discovered tonight that I don't think my Digital Aviation Cheyenne likes VATSIM/FSInn - I crashed at the same point 3 times in a row on the same flight / profile - no idea what's causing it, the "this program stopped responding" window pops up and that's it.  The same flight works fine offline.  Damn.  That's my favorite airplane   Any ideas for a fix?  I modified the dll.xml file and moved the FSCopilot entry to the last spot in the line of commands - read that may fix it, guess I'll find out next time up.

If it doesn't fix it up, then disable all the addons and replicate the flight to the point of crash. If it works out, then enable an addon or more and try again, till you have narrowed down which one crashes it.

Once I had a scenery which had a slightly faulty AFCAD file, but it caused me to crash 100 miles away from the airport, but not at the airport.

You should get a target lock on your intended 'camel' so you can see relative closure rates. It is a little buggy in the reported speed of the locked target but the missile ring will give you a pretty good idea of the closure rate.

The simplest way to refuel is to just hit the button that opens the refuel door. It doesnt always work but I discovered while I was chasing down a s-turning 737 that there is a bug where the plane refuels when the refuel door is open whether you are behind an AI 'camel' or not. Since learning that I dont hit the switch until I am nearly behind the AI camel.

When you open the refuel door the right hand indicator lights up with a blue 'RDY' at the top and a red 'DISC' at the bottom. When you got to the boom position (there is no boom) and hook up the middle of the indicator will light up 'AR/NWS' as you take on fuel. When you are full of fuel the green light goes out leaving only 'RDY.'

Well damn this sucks - I did the .dll mod and it crashed almost instantly after loading FSInn.  I re-installed FSInn/FSCoPilot and tried the flight again, crashes at about the same point - only happens while connected to VATSIM - works fine offline.  I'm pissed.

well we don't know what is coming in the future but microsoft has shut down ACES studio's.  So the next flightsim may just be 3rd party.
