Problem with Autosave

[HB-HFK]

Hello Pete,

This is the first message I write to you so I want to start by saying thank you for your work and in this instance Autosave which has saved the day for me innumerable times, especially in the context of VA flying.

I have a problem however. Sometimes when FS2004 crashes unexpectedly and I restart the flight via autosave, FS starts to load the flight and then immediately and systematically crashes. I am therefore unable to restart my saved flight.

This happens so far only with two distinct aircraft combinations I use, all others seem to work just fine. The aircraft combos in question are 1.) POSKY B767 cargo with Lonny Payne panel and 2.) POSKY ERJ-145 with Bill Grabowski panel.

I must add that when FS2004 functions correctly both aircraft / panel combos work fine too.

Are you familiar with this problem?

I checked and noticed I was using version 1.50 and have since upgraded to the latest version 1.501. Might this be the problem and version 1.501 solve the issue?

Thank you in advance for your feedback

Best Regards,

Kevin

So whatever crashed FS in the first place is consistent and crashes it again. You'd need to go to an earlier saved flight and avoid whatever it is wrong with your scenery or other addons.

So, there's something wrong with them?

No, there is no problem. All Autosave does is make the call to FS's flight Save function, the very same function as you can instigate by pressing ";" or going into the menu,. There is no difference. There is nothing in the AutoSave function itself which is saving anything at all, it is just standard FS. Therefore there is nothing to go wrong with AutoSave. If the files FS makes cause FS to crash again then it would be the same if you saved the flight yourself and reloaded it.

You need to fix the cause of the problem, not the saved flights which on reload are merely restoring the conditions in which you crash again. If it is only those two aircraft which give you problems thenn either they are corrupt or a buggy. Try reinstalling, or go to their respective support forums to see if there are already solutions or updates.
