I finally found settings that minimized the system crashes, now I use FSX for only the C162. If I ever want to fly anything else I now use P3D; switching between the C162 and any other plane, or moving it to a different airport is a sure way of crashing the system. Incidentally, I have a top of the line 'gamer' system, so the problems do not lie with my PC system. Finally, Flight1 uses some 'schemish security system, in which they tap into your system every time you use the Skycatcher, I suspect it's their way to verifying that you're a legitimate user. But frankly, it's kinda creepy and I dont care much for it, but you have to allow it or you wont be able to use it. I had to make an exception for it with my antivirus, which was going nuts warning me about it. I've reached out to other add-on providers, like A2A and Carenado, nearly pleading with them to design the Skycatcher. Unfortunately, I've only received template responses. Bottom line, Flight1 is a fairly accurate model, but is plagued with technical problems.
