ok to those who seem oblivious to this issue.
This is a WT G3000 issue that has been around for a long time. It happens when you turn on the battery. It will cause the sim to freeze up for a sec and then crash to desktop.
It is a issue logged in their bug tracker so they(WT) are aware of it, but for some reason seem to not want to address it. Maybe because they will completely overhaul the system at a later point?.
It is very inconsistent so many will probably not even experience this issue.
There are some things you can try to minimize it happening.
- wait a minute before pressing “fly now”
- flip on the generator and other switches before turning the battery on
This has helped the issue for me, but not eliminated it completely.
The only info I have found that can explain whats going on is that the data being loaded into the WT G3000 might not be finished loading as the sim is ready to “fly now”.
