First Flight - FSFK Crashed at the End

"Hello, I just finished my 1st flight. I chose an open flight (KORD-CYRB), and about 2 hours out I looked at the map and realized that CYRB is a 6,400 ft runway [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] Yee-Haw!! I landed at about 500,000 lbs with no problem, was rather proud of myself, and then FSFK crashed when I exited FS2004. I lost the whole flight in my log [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img] It was a great low-vis night landing in snow, too."

"Hi Jim Did you abort the Flight on completion?the programme asks if you wish to abort and you click on yes, thats what you need to do and then save the data to your Logbook,and while your at it,click on the 4th icon from the Right to upload to the Website. Safe landings . MIke [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]"

"Hi Mike, Yes, I have the option selected where FSFK disconnects when the engines shut down. However, I ended FS2004 and then went to FSFK which was locked up. When I restarted FSFK the flight wasn't in the log. Perhaps I shouldn't exit out of FS2004 until I make sure that the flight is saved. "

[right][snapback]5548[/snapback][/right] </div> Hi JIm You have to end FSFK while FS9 is still running,if you try to end it after shutting down FS9 it will lock! and will not shut down or open! once the flight is finished, click on the 2nd icon from the left,it will ask if you want to abort the flight, you click on yes, then you can save to your Logbook and export the Pirep as described,you can see this in action at the bottom of the Screen,when this is done a Link will open in Explorer so you can view the Pirep, if successfull then close FSFK and shut FS9. Safe Landings, Mike [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif[/img]"

"Hello All, I am shutting down FS2004 after FSFK disconnects and the PIREP is sent/saved which solves the problem. I like FSFK, it's a good product. I see where it earned 5 stars on the avsim review. It makes me a little nervous, though....now I'm much more concerned with that vertical speed on touchdown [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img] "
