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!)
