Both Bones and I watched your approach at EGAC - Bones on his radar display, me on TCAS. You disappeared from my TCAS just before landing, although Bones reported you still on radar. After I landed there myself, I gather you disappeared from radar briefly but when you reappeared you were once again visible to me so I taxied and parked alongside you for about 5 minutes before taking off again and returning to EGNS. I suspect we were on different IVAO servers, and one of them may have thrown a wobbly.

Unfortunately there was very little other traffic tonight to get any sort of accurate picture of whether there were other disappearances.

Tonight I flew, IVAO, Kirkbride to Belfast City; the latter being the latest ARM project. He's reacted to my suggestion and is spending hours using GE to create photoscenery for the EGAC circuit area. I wonder if Mally's ears are burning?

Anyway, I spotted Mike leaving EGNS, also bound for EGAC. I saw him on finals, before he disappeared from FSX and Servinfo. Shortly after that I had another FSX lockup. Thinking back, I don't recall having one when not on line. I've even re flown problem flights, off line, without problems. Tonight's lockup was whilst I was parked on the GA apron, in Spot View, looking round for Mike. Off line I've done this until dizzy, without getting it to lock up.

Anyone have any ideas on cause and effect?
