When doing long haul flight in the a330/a340 FS2004 crashes when i start to decend, it happend with all aircraft thet came in this addon, i can do a 4 hour flight fine, 5 hours is pushing it it may crash on decent it may not, 6 hours + my FS always crashes when i decend whilst flying in any aircraft from ths addon. I have the A340-500/600 and i have no problem with that
I have istalled the new service pack for Airbus Collection: Longhaul and in the description it fixes the external lights, does it fix my problem? i would test it but if my fs crashes its a wast of 6 hour + flight
if not is thier anyway to fix this problem for Airbus collection: Long Haul?
Oh
Im running the FS2004 versian on Windows XP
Please reply
Thankyou
Liam

I don't think it's the service pack or fs. I'm not sure. if you decend after 4 does it crash? you could try doing 4 houurs save shut fs do 4 more hours save shut ect ect. it might be worth contacting support. but I am not sure what this is.

I don't really know what this is. it baffles me. have you contacted JF support? you say no prob with the A340 500/600. I think that it might be a problem with the actual add-onn itself. I need to know if you get this with any other aircraft such as the defult 747. By the sound of it I don't think that it's an fs problem. I go away and think but mabey monday on of the staff will see this if we can't sort it out our selfs.

i only get it with the Airbus collection: Long hul addon, ive upped my virtual memory, and im flying the a340-300 nw on a short flight cos i missed this addon whilst away . :) but i dont get it in the A340-500/600 (Purchased from commerciallevel.com) i dont get it in default aircraft, not like i fly them often, its just the Airbus collection: Long haul, cos its what i fly the most along side the a340-500/600

you don't get it with the othe planes? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm theonty thing that I can think of is that the add-onn itself is brokenand do you only get it in the decent? I need to know as much as possible such as
when it happens and do you get any error messages such as a fatel error ocurred. and any thing else. |

I don't think that it's the pc specs. It maybe your graphics card even if the pc is new the graphics card maybe well out of date. chech Nvidia and update your mother board and graphic card I di with mine and I got about 15 more frames then ever!! I run fsx with the add-onn and very rarely get problems but I did the other day the vc went black so i hit the start key and brought it back to the desk top went back to fs and the vc was back to normal.
you also have fs 9.0 nat a prob but also try updating fs. microsoft released a patch ages ago and it was a fs 9.1 update which updates fs9. try that and see. |

also the download says 1hr 6 mins. oh no thats dial up for god sake don't use that it's slower than a snail! and you can't use the phone. try dsl/cable and see but don't keep clicking or you will end yp downloading it several times.

okay it's not the hard drive space then as you have bucket loads left. apart from a340 5/6 is there any other add-onns installed. as I said let it down load re boot insert disc 4 then try again. It might be an idea on monday to drop an e-mail into tech support and explain to them what is happening.
