Stuck at an airport

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I was making a flight from KMSP back to my base at KMCC in the level-D 767 and my computer shut down on me. Now I went back to fly the flight and it has me at an airport with a runway of 1500 ft a few miles from KMSP. I cant take of or do anything. Not sure what to do here. I think I might have lost a plane and I am gonna be wizzed if I did. Any ideas? I paid some 6,000 to transport the plane, which it did to this little airplane, and I also paid 22 bucks to move me there I guess. Also I had to pay to fix my plane which was a cool 700k and to fix the flaps for some reason. Not sure whats going on but I would love to know how to fix this.

	Can you get an AI to move the plane with the fly to airport with AI pilot button at the bottom of the fleet window?

	Probably thought you were landing and decided you were too quick for the flaps... gear were probably in so they were alright... Teh damage was going from your height to zero in a second.... Teh AI eat planes I think.

	There's nothing I can do if your computer shuts down on you. Try not to let that happen

	There's an article in the thread "Useful Info and Top Tips" in this forum about how to protect yourself and recover gracefully from an FS crash during an AH flight. If it's a computer crash, you're toast but a FS crash is survivable if you know how to handle it correctly and have done your homework ahead of time. I understand that's not what happened to you this time, but it's still good info to be familiar with.
