When I launch it I get through the startup wizard and the intro screen is
displayed, I get the " reading airport and navigation data" and the

crasheswith the error message;

Possible cause: No error
Hi Dene
And welcome to the club. I´ve had the error you describe when first
starting 098a from Win 2000. I have a Matrox Card and the only help I got
from this forum was to update drivers. I did and it looked like it was
working but wasn´t really, just a matter of combination. so I gave up after
trying on my own a while. Now I´ve installed 0.99 and the problem still
prevails. Windows users are a shrugged upon minority here, so we got to
stick together. Hence here´s the experiences I made:
Under 098a:
* The "possible cause no error" appears only selecting a certain
combination
of aircraft and runway. Another combination will produce an error like
"file could not be found" (or opened ).
* The first time thru none of the aircrafts work. But try a while, keep
trying and - believe it or not - after a while one will work. Settings
that worked for me to start with was a cessna + default runway at kfso.
Then piper and runway 28 R. And after I played with them a while I got the
eurocopter to work with the default runway. But you have to try different
combinations.
* I couldn´t really get the controls to work (only keyboaerd no Joystick)
but I got over the initial error and could move the plane around a bit.
When it crashes to bad you`ll get the error back and have to start all
over.
Strange behaviour when it´s just the card or drivers.
Anyway under 099
* See above
* Here in addtion to the above the boing and the fighter can be gotten to
work. However I still can´t manage to get the controls working properly.
Hope you have better luck or maybe this will give you a hint where to
look
for solutions. If you got any ideas I´ll appreciate a hint.
Thanks mate
Take care and happy flying
Denise
