No Tom, nothing like that, I even refrain from changing views looking outside and only change to inside views for the overhead, pedistal and FMC. Apart from that I keep it looking straight out the pointy end.
I have a wide screen monitor and have my IFly 737-800 set to wide screen as the instructions say.
My last two flights with the 737 froze mid flight as it has many times before, they went like this,
Sydney to Perth YSSY to YPPH, a flight of around four hours, programming, take-off to cruise without any problems, around two hours into the cruise it freezes. No views or nothing touched during the cruise period.
Next flight, Melbourne to Sydney YMML to YSSY, a short flight of around one hour fifteen minutes, as above every thing fine up to cruise. Around half way through the cruise it was time to bring up the FMC to enter my descent speeds and altitudes for arrival, I like to do it manually. As soon as I clicked on the icon to bring up the FMC the flight froze. Similar things happen with the Level D 767.
The only way I seem to be able to get out of the freeze is to turn the computer completely off with the on/ off button, so that's the end of that flight.
I love flying flying with this VA but can rarely file a completed flight, so frustrating.
Thanks
