Four days of living in FLIGHT SIMULATOR HELL.
I have done all of the things that I can think of in trying to solve this problem with MSFS.
Within five minutes from take off the sim would freeze for a moment and then disappear.
I rightfully thought to myself “here we go againâ€.
I kept one eye on FlightSim.com while I started to see if I could fix it myself.
People were starting to post problems and several suggestions followed.
I checked out a couple of things and tried to comprehend what others were saying.
After a day with no success it was very late and I decided to do a complete reinstall.
That will take six hours so I started the operation and I went to sleep.
After the reinstall, the problem was still there.
I called the Microsoft support line.
I explained the problem to the Tec. and he connected to my computer.
He wanted to go on a test flight to see the problem first hand.
After the flight he moved around inside the program to several places did and a couple of things.
He then said that he might have problem corrected but first he wanted me to take him for another test flight.
The problem was still there.
He then said that there was nothing else he could for me.
He gave me a case number and refereed me to this Zendisk thing and that proved to be more of the same. My ear was getting sore.
Back at FlightSim.com more reports were coming in.
With my skill level being what it is, I figured if tried some of the suggestions offered I would go deeper into trouble.
That’s it, I’m done. I’m tired of MSFS. I want to go back to FS X.
I never encountered stuff like this with FS X.
Walmart has a new FS X for $129. (I wonder how that happens)
I was about to “add to cart†when a little voice inside told me to slow down.
Microsoft would not dare let something like this slide. Wait a day or two and see what happens.
That was yesterday.
This morning I was looking at FlightSim.com and decided to try yet another suggestion that pointed to the options.
I fired up the FS but it told me to install a required update before I could fly.
I did what it said, then fired up FS.
I started with my Beloved Baron, then the Bonanza and then the DA62 and enjoyed 1.5 hours of error free flights.
I hope that I have not spoke to soon.
