Right. Well, if I do that, that's when iyp freezes. Also, I did do the security thing, so it's all set to everyone and everything is set to full control.

I *never* follow that advice. I always perform them when everyone is boarding when I'm asked to. This way it will be correct and I have more than enough fuel in case I have to do a go around, or I take off with the toe truck again. Lol!

I've followed those instructions, and if I say perform fuel loading operations at the start of the pre-flight checklist, it will say fuel loading operations completed. However, if I say afirmative when it asks should I perform fuel loading operations, that's when it freezes. I'll double check those instructions again, but iyp informs me that I have an excessive amount of fuel, and advises that's what I should do, so just trying to follow it's advice. I'll take a second look at that page. Thanks Robert.

    Mike,

    FSUIPC 4 does save flights as you mention. In general, all you
    need to do to work around this is to just start a new one, or
    load one explicitly, every time.

    THere’s nothing tied to specific models of aircraft, it’s all
     related to the .flt files, generated via FSUIPC or otherwise.

    No, that can't be right, because I cleared out that folder

    fsuipc4, because if I delete the previous flight entry in the
    mission list dialogue, and let the flight continue, it makes a
    new previous flight entry from that point.  Meaning the
    endless loop was shorter then before.  Scrapping everything
    and making a new .pln and .flt files fixed the problem, but
    I'm pretty sure it's fsuipc4 that's saving the state and
    reloading it, even if the files in the documents folder are
    removed.

            Mike,

            THere’s an FSX concept called a flight, and it
            sounds like you’re inadvertently loading a flight
            file which is putting  you in the air.

            The only solution, as far as I’m aware, is to
            manually pick aircraft, weather, etc, and save a new
            flight parked at the gate.
            Out of interest, what plane were you having trouble
            with, and where were you trying to fly?
            Best,
            Zack.

            Now, if I go to reload that aircraft, it sets it up
            to just before I crashed, like an autosave. How do I
            delete this so that it will start me at the hanger,
            instead of in the air, about to crash.  If I click
            reset from the flights menu, it just resets to that
            point.  I thought it was the state.cfg file under
            %appdata%\microsoft\fsx\simobjects, but apparently
            not.  Any help would be appreciated. Googling has
            given me nothing useful.
