I'll do some flying later this week, and post a few shots.

Unfortunately, due to my computer acting up, I'm only able to snap pictures with my phone. Every option I use for a screenshot results in a black screen in MS paint.

I'll live vicariously through here though.

Have you tried hitting the "V" key to take pics? I was looking up your problem and saw that people often get black screens when they hit "Print screen."

Try investigating the CTD before redoing a flight. Might be a scenery issue that will come up every time.

No problem, glad it worked.

As others said, the trick is good aircraft, good scenery. I use some OrbX scenery for Australia. The other good thing is a fix I found that sorts out a lot of the default Microsoft DX10 glitches, especially the one where taxi instruction arrows wouldn't appear.

More of a problem is the update I installed for the PMDG 777-200/LR and the 777-300/ER. Now those updates are done, the thing crawls along in the VC with 6.3fps. I mean really, it used to be 30fps and smooth before that.. My computer is a Xeon powered Mac Pro with a fairly good graphics card, it isn't some slug of a machine. I can't see the reason why. The taxi-cameras are not installed on it (not in panel.cfg), so I cannot work out the slowness.

So instead of a B777 (or a slow flying B737) I used a Concorde for YMML-YSSY:

Takeoff sans-reheat:

Thats the conclusion I've come to but all I got was a message saying it had crashed, no hints as to where the problem was lying.

I tried the same flight in a different AC and it did the same.

I'm thinking it could be a problem with the scenery at EDDF as thats the only additional scenery installed for Germany.

LOL.....In my FSX, I played God by closing Love Field and moving flights to DFW. The WN flights are operating out of half of Terminal B in the FSDreamTeam DFW scenery. Much better utilization of flights there IMO.

Hi, the app is Lido/iRouteManual, available from the app store here:

Additionally I have collected a huge amount of Jeppesen plates and have quite a few that are bascially actual Navtech charts. AI traffic is all freeware found in the Avsim library, most of them in the form of a complete package, like WoAI.

As above. I'd share it with you if I had an easy way to do so. It was one I painted. I saw that colour scheme that somebody designed - I think it was fictional and they'd just done it as some sort of project. So I thought I'd give it a go to see if I could make it in FSX. Took a lot more work than I expected.

I've also got some of the artwork for the original 9M-MRD B-777, I could transfer that to the PMDG 777L too, but it'll take a lot of work, and I'm not sure it'd be right to do so after the MH17 tragedy.

Thank you for your reply, it is very much appreciated.
If I could suggest you, there is a website www.box.com , where you can create an account charge free and upload any repaint folders if you would be willing to do so. Then you can share the links to those folders and community members would be able to download your excellent repaints. Just a thought.
Anyhow, that Etihad's livery is a masterpiece! Would love to have it!
