All other aircraft work fine, however when I try to use an Iris aircraft, I can fly for maybe 15 minutes tops then my sim freezes. Sometimes I can't even get a minute in. Any ideas as to the cause and a solution? I love these planes and I don't want to lose them. Please anyone. Kind regards, Jeremy

Go to the start menu, and in the little box at the bottom of the start menu type: dxdiag

Press Enter, and then you may receieve a message about confirming that you want to run the DirectX Diagnostic Tool. Allow it. Give it a minute and you'll get a box up on the screen. It will list all the information on your computer (manufacturer, hardware installed, etc)

hhomebrewer is interested in the following details:

Processor (on the 'system' tab)
Memory (also on 'system' tab)
Device (on 'display' tab, copy the name, manufacturer and chip type. Chip Type and Name may be the same though)

Finding out the speed of the memory installed requires other procedures, but it shouldn't have a major impact on the results from the rest of this information nor the problem at hand.

Futhermore: Are you running on a laptop or a desktop computer? And do you have any other addons running (traffic, scenery addons, etc)?

Could you also list the names of the Iris aircraft you're using when the problem occurs? Just to check that it's not an inherent problem with the addon aeroplanes you're using.

What sort of a freeze occurs? Does the game just freeze, or does your mouse cursor freeze? Or does the entire game crash down to the desktop?

Sorry for the 20 questions, but if you could answer them as best as you can, it could help to resolve the problem.

I am on a laptop. Specs are as follows...

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.110408-1631)
         Language: English (Regional Setting: English)
System Manufacturer: Dell Inc.
   System Model: Inspiron N5030
            BIOS: Phoenix ROM BIOS PLUS Version 1.10 A02
      Processor: Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU    T4500 @ 2.30GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.3GHz
         Memory: 3072MB RAM
Available OS Memory: 3034MB RAM
      Page File: 1613MB used, 4453MB available
      Windows Dir: C:\Windows
DirectX Version: DirectX 11

It is only IRIS aircraft and all my IRIS that do this, and it freezes to a stop. I can see the aircraft, and hear it, but it's frozen solid. I have to use the task manager to end the FS9 process.

I use WOAI aircraft as AI and MAIW. I have too many add-ons to list. I hope this helps. Kind regards, Jeremy
