Those are nice tips Charlie, but as to your last one... there are several utilities which can be used to automatically save your simulator's flight data and if your using FSX or P3D, FSCaptain will save its flight data along with your simulator's flight data. Easy peasy to restore!
I used FSUIPC's auto-save for years and had it save every three minutes (saving both in the air and on ground).
But for those few Captains who don't use FSUIPC, we added our own auto-save feature which also save on a pre-arranged interval, and could be set to save in-air, or before takeoff, or after takeoff (or both). I use that now and have modified it to support....
ProATC/X's new auto-save, which also saves its flight data. I have ProATC/X set to save every 3 minutes, but it only saves in-air, and it stops saving after it has placed you on approach. So now I use ProATC/X in-air and FSCaptain on-ground.
You'll see in 1.7.3 Beta 3 that FSCaptain can now be configured to save your simulator and flight data when you go ON (that is, when you touch down at your destination). We feel this gives all Captains the maximum coverage to restore your flight whenever possible.
And FWIW, that last change was due to a set of repeated VAS crashes I had when landing at a payware airport in a payware scenery area. After I got the ON auto-save working and had saved my flight at touchdown, I turned off the payware scenery area, left the payware airport enabled, and then reloaded my flight. My VAS was fine and I could taxi to my gate and go IN untroubled.
