Hi Mike I have had the same problem with FSX to the point of flying only FS9,till I find a setup that is more stable. PS I have the same with FS9 but have been able to recover, as bones has witnessed. Looking forward to build my new computer soon.

As I tried to recover it, FSC then crashed and finally FSX itself. I restarted FSX and resumed the flight using autosave, then IVAO and FSC. Everything seemed OK until I realised that the autopilot was jammed on and I could not adjust any settings - hdg, alt, speed. I was sitting trying to figure out whether there was anything I could do when, with the A/P jammed, the aircraft went into a steep dive all by itself. Controls would not respond at all. Net result - one aborted mission, two hours wasted, one very angry JHB pilot.? ?
