This ONLY happens when I try to use a Carenado plane on
multiplayer....


When I go to type in the chat box,
there is a considerable delay between the key press,
and the letters showing up in the chat box. 


This wouldn't be an issue,
if I wasn't such a fast typist,
but I can type a sentence as long as this one,
before the first letters start to appear in the window. 


Changing planes will not cure the problem,
I must restart FS9 completely,
and choose a different plane to cure it.
Also, if I start off in a different plane,
and then switch to a Carenado plane,
then the problem will appear,
and must be fixed in the same way. 


As long as I don't use a Carenado plane,
the problem doesn't ever arise. 


Obviously, the solution is to never use a Carenado product online,
but I think that's the easy cop out solution. 

What gives? 
Has anyone else here ever had this problem? 



No other payware plane I have from any other company has this issue,
and it happens with ALL of the Caranedo planes that I have.


Please tell me I'm not alone in this issue.

Well phooey! 

I refuse to believe that just one make of plane has a problem that is centered around my system only. 

Hopefully when I install the new graphics card today, that will solve it. 

I don't see how though, my Wilco 777 is way harder on my system than the Carenados are, and it doesn't do it. 

Carenado has no clue either, they said it's the first they've ever heard of it, and said it was probably an issue with FSHost.

Outstanding John!! 

That did the trick. 

Not sure how or why, but as long as it works, I'm OK with it.   

Thank you very much. 

New developments.

I've traced the problem to a file called alg.exe, and using the Real world weather while online.

If both of these are disabled, the problem will go away.

If they are on, the problem will come and go, with any plane now.

I've run scans with every AV & SW program I have, and it did find a few things, but even after that, this problem occurs if those two elements are active at the same time.

Oh the joys of M$. 

Sorry Carenado!

I've been through most of those.
In fact, it sent me on a quest to identify,
and analyze EVERY process running in my task manager.


If you use one of these downloads they're recommending,
let me know and I'll try it.
There are just far too many 'recommended' links on that page,
for me to randomly pick one and try it. 


Honestly, as far as past experience has taught me,
using these 'free scanners' always causes more problems than they solve,
so I go by a human recommendation,
rather than the snake oil ads.


I have Auto updates turned on,
so I can't understand how my XP files would be outdated in anyway. 
It just had an XP update last week. 

Well, now the problem has developed to include ANY kind of clouds at all. 

I have officially become fed up with my FS. 

Time to do a complete reinstall....again. 

One of these days, I'll just learn to be happy with things the way they are, and stop messing with it.

It only ever seems to make things worse.

Goodness knows, John!... ..!

These little warnings pop up on rare occasions, and seem to be handled automatically by my Anti-Virus and Malware programs, so sometimes its difficult to know where these little devils came from, although they do appear instantly when clicking on some Sites, Programs, etc....!

A Scan shows all OK!
