FS2002 very strange problem

[Peter I Nielsen]

Hi,

I am going to cross post this around to get max feed back.

Since a week or so, my FS2002 has become un-usable and I have no idea how or why this is occurring or how to solve it.

It starts up as normal but after some time, could be 5 minutes, could be an hour the sim decides to reload textures, and just in the split second before it does that I notice that the time changes, if it is night is becomes day and vice versa.

After the textures have been reloaded I am faced with an aircraft stuck in position, nothing works except strangely enough SLEW mode.

The Date has been reset to the year "ZERO" ie 0000

The GMT time has changed and states 240 !!!!!! hours 000 minutes

I have tried it both on line and off line, both with and without active sky and it keeps happening in EACH flight.

I have run the latest antivirus checks and there are none.

I have cleaned up the scenery config file and it does not help either.

Also noticed that the wide clients connected are not stable every so often I loose one connection for a split second, then it comes back.

If I then switch to FS2004 everything works as normal, no problems at all and rock steady client connections. But I rarely use 2004 as my PC is quite simply not powerful enough to run it in all situations..

using the latest FSUIPC and Wideserve versions.

Any ideas at all as to what could be the 2002 problem?

What other programs are you running? For example, what are the WideClient's supporting? What other add-in modules?

You need to performa a process of elimination. First run with no other accessory programs at all, no WideClients, nothing. Then, if that is okay, start adding things back.
