Black Screen over VC for Commanche 250 N8665R

Post by Neon »

I'm in a flight, and half way through the virtual cockpit went completely black. If you right click on it, you
get an option to close this black window, but doing so does nothing. I can't minimise it, the only thing I can
do is save the flight and close it and reload. Even so, it comes back again after about 10 minutes. I'm running
the Flight 1 GTN 750. I've not used this plane much before, so I don't know if this is a common problem. I did
notice though that there's no VC texture in any of the texture folders as there is for the Cherokee.

Anyone know a fix for this? I have the latest A2A Updates installed and all aircraft installed are up to date.

Yep, that's a good question. Sounds like it might be simulated hypoxia which you're experiencing Neon. The black screen should be preceded by a period of 'pulsating' of the view and laboured breathing sounds.

If so, the 'fix' (before you reach the 'black screen' stage which indicates unconsciousness) is an emergency descent. :wink:

Thanks,
Nick

The end result sounds like an old movie "Spies Like Us" with the Radical, Vertical Impact Simulation... :lol:

No worries Neon. For what it's worth, I believe hypoxia is modelled over 12,500 ft but you should be okay up to 14,000 ft for about 30 minutes.

For users of the registered version of FSUIPC, I did come up with a 'cheating' oxygen supply back along: more info here.

Thanks,
Nick
