have problems with your computer during a flight...For me almost every long haul flight i have something that goes wrong with my computer...like it freezes. So about how often does your computer crash??? I just want to know cause maybe im the only one with issues. and most of the time the issues (freezing, computer crashing etc..) it is long hauls. I dont, know im just frustrated with my computer.

When i close FSX when it hangs, acars comes back to life! I have to 'X' out of acars, restart FSX, then restart acars to "recover"

It might be a memory issue.
I was reading the dva747 manual from the document library and it said that the plane had memory issues that mostly happened on long haul flights, while maybe you're not flying the same aircraft the cause of the problem might be similar and hopefully the fix is as well.
you can look at the manual for all the specifics since i don't reallly remember too clearly
Basically what it said was to right click on the task bar (bottom of the desktop) click task manager, in the applications tab right click fsx and hit maximize then do the same again and hit minimize then go back to fsx. best times to do it were before take off, on cruise, two hours in the flight, and on descent.
the other option was for long hauls to just leave fs minimized.
give it a try... hope it helps.

Bo, are your running FSX? I know that I've tried to use ACARS with FSX and the LDS 767 and it works for about 2-3 hrs then crashes. Is that the problem you're having?
