Well, it is in the manual - read it some two years ago... 13,000ft is the maximum altitude to start an engine, APU door to be opened below 300KIAS. Or so.

Hi all! Just wanted to share the special day with you: Freeworld Airways has its 10th anniversary today! Being the first X-Plane only virtual airline starting out in 2004, many of you "older" pilots may know it. If you have been part of it in its history, jump over to the FWA forum and say hi. Cheers, Mike

After a few restarts of XP9.7 it works again, both screens are alive now. Odd...

Hi all, installed the CRJ200 version 1.4.5. on a iMac7,1 OSX10.6.8 with 3GB RAM 128VRAM only to find that the PDF and MFD stay dark, no matter what I do (ext. power, APU, engines running w/ generators connected, etc.). I reinstalled the CRJ200 to no avail. Gizmo.plugin dates back to 9.10.2013, CRJ200.acf dates to 2.4.2012 - is that causing the problem? I already repaired the file access rights. My parallel installation on a MacBook Pro with (nearly) the same specs still does work. Mirroring the HD with the XP9.7 installation to the iMac did not work. Is the graphics card of the iMac causing the problem (ATI RadeonHD2400)? I want to run 1.4.5 of the CRJ, because 1.5.x won't run on the weak hardware. Sorry for this vintage stuff question, but me is trapped on that very system. Unfortunately... Am clueless. Got ideas? Cheers, Mike

Ha, ha, nice joke... Alienware manufactures the world's best high-performance PC gaming laptop and desktop computers.

Hi! Am away from my computer, but I have some enhancement installed which make XP9 clouds even nicer. Just looked and there is another add-on around: Realistic Clouds X-Plane 9+ Have not tried it, but looks great, too.

They are back for now, get 'em! http://thex-planepaintshop.webs.com

Either too late or too early for fall... Woah, nice!

The CRJ takes a bit more computing power than other aircraft - did you lower your settings to standard, too? I assume that you have the latest version of the CRJ. If the CRJ alone gives you trouble, did you remove all other aircraft and just run XP with the CRJ? Regarding the plug-ins, I was talking about the plugs you extend XP10 with.

XP9 oder XP10? Settings of XP might play a major role in CTDs (crash to desktop), too. Standard procedure: start with no plug-ins, standard settings and try again. Add plug-ins and raise settings step by step. Painful, but a working way to get going.

Ah, sorry, you got me there. Right - just use the old Navigraph 1109 cycle, it does the job just fine for offline flights. When flying online with IVAO or VATSIM, you should think about upgrading, tho.

Is your XP nav dabase current (updates: http://data.x-plane.com)? If not, update and mismatches will vanish. Or use an older Airac when requesting a route with rfinder. Hope it helps. Cheers, Mike

Well, we only can hope that 19yo Samen changes his mind when he is done with his current distraction... But from what I gather, the discussion in their forums was not really friendly. The way it sadly often goes with freeware and too demanding free-riders.

Sigh, goodbye.
