Flight Simulator Saves don't work!

PROBLEM: (And some complaining/ranting)

I was flying from London Heathrow in the morning to Ibiza. This takes around 4 hours. I done this for a video I was making. It was going to simply be about flying from London to Ibiza on flight simulator. I was using the in-game recorder, planning to record bits of it on fraps later. I had a bad landing, I was not only inches away from the touch-down point, but I skidded of the left side of the runway. Thankfully, I had saved it. I forgot the key to return to the last save, so I quit the game. On the free flight menu, it allows you to load your flights. So I clicked on that. Scrolled up to my approach save and loaded it. Then oddly all I saw was a black screen, but I could still pause the game. I could hear all the sounds (Including ATC). It even let me click some invisible buttons. I feel cheated! Not everyone that has NO real flight experience can land a plane perfectly! It was almost perfect, but I was too distracted about the bad touchdown to notice that I had my engines on idol, not reverse. This was my flaw. Shame Microsoft couldn't make the save system work! I think they should fix this. Good luck to all who want to save their 12 hour flights from Europe to America! I'm not sure anyone wants to play Flight Simulator X 12 hours straight!

SOLUTION:

Before trying to play the save, close FSX and reopen it. This works 60% of the time (50% real calculation!)

New Xbox 360 design

"The new Xbox 360®. Here today, ready for tomorrow with a brand new, leaner machine in an all new black gloss finish. Wi-Fi is built-in for easier connection to the world of entertainment on Xbox LIVE, where HD movies and TV stream in an instant. It's ready for the controller-free experiences of Kinect—you don't just play the game, you are the game. With the huge hard drive you'll have plenty of space to store your favourite games and movies. Xbox 360 is more games, entertainment. and fun."

This thing looks mean! Its a black shiny demon. This is going to beat the PS3 slim hands down. It not only looks better, is cheaper, but it is going to ready for the controller free Kinect... Wait! What? Isn't it available on ALL 360s? Oh, well... I think Microsoft is gonna get a large money boost from this new design... from me anyway...

Apple's iPad

Apple finally decided to bring out what we were all waiting for. A tablet. They call it the iPad, the ‘i’ standing for internet. The ‘Pad’ standing for... eh? Maybe they thought of it as being like a pad of paper? Yes, it could of had a better name (i.e iTablet or iBook Touch), but lets just forget about the name (This is Apple we are talking about here, they know what

they are doing) The design of the tablet... oh, I mean giant iPod Touch, is very, eh... like an iPod Touch. Some say that it is pointless, “It’s just a giant iPod Touch”. I think that Apple has thought this through. They made it like an iPod Touch because everyone is familiar with the display and design, same goes for the system. Anyway, lets get on with the pros and cons

Pros:

1. Familiar Design and system
2. Steady processor
3. Multitouch display
4. Easy-to-use system

Cons:

1. No front facing camera
2. No flash...

I think that sum’s it up...
