Hi guys. I have a big problem. One day i was loading up my FS and it stopped responding. So i re-installed it. All went fine. I installed all my payware aircraft, which by the way have automatic installers, and it worked fine. then i put in my freeware, non-auto installer planes, then it crashed. i took out those, and it is running fine. I was wondering how to fix this- could it be my FS doesnt take freeware?? 😳 or could it be that they need a auto installer? 😳 i just cant fly payware all the time, somewhat because the FPS drop in payware, and second because what if i want another type of plane? and i dont have the money to buy payware? Sorry if this post seems rude to anyone, i just want this problem fixed.

Thanks in advance,
robbier

what freeware planes are you running? perhaps install them one at a time to find which one is faulty.

Hey robbier,

What are your system specs (just in case) and is it happening with any freeware aircraft you install or just certain aircraft or type of plane? Are they from one place or by one author etc?

😉

I agree with the above question and also it will be very helpful if you answer to what Jon asks.

Negative on both accounts. As suggested before - install one at a time and test-fly the aircraft before you go to the next one. Make sure you always pay attention to the readme file. Not all freeware planes install the same way.

NOTE: Even some freeware add-ons require you to restart your computer after installation.
