Acme Flt 1542?

[Lane]

This is a strange one. I flew a perfect Flight Last night in DC3C
Flt 1542 VFR from Kansas city airport KMCI to INDY at 9,500 ft. No problems.
on 2hs and 50mins flight. Was testing my new Video card FPS in all kinds of
weather and clouds. using Real weather from FSMetar program.
I came in to Indy to Land and Field was closed IFR. I could see the airport
so I sneaked in and Landed ILS approach to rwy 23R. In real life I would not done this. I taxi to North Parking 6 and unloaded and flight was closed.
Had 10 Pax and cargo. I checked FCOM for details and said flight was perfect.
So I went to the FSC admin button while I was in cockpit and checked my
Flight and was perfect. no negative points.
Plane was all shut down and FCOM pwr was off.
I exit FS9 and was going to post my flight report. When to FSCaptain ADM
to Look at Flt 1542 and to my shock there was XXX out at end and said flight had Crashed. Good thing I had wrote down all my flight times
So I got to fill out my flight times over at dc3airways.
Is this a Bug? So I deleted the flight.
Sure was bummer after flying almost 3 hrs.
But I got to check FPS in all kinds of weather,clouds.snow and overcast.
It passed but some were Low in certain weather outside.
Any body got any ideas what may have happen.

Hi Lane,

By "INDY" do you mean Indianapolis International Airport (KIND)..? Just checking.
(Nice ICAO code!)

David,
Yes you are correct.When I say "INDY" Short for (KIND) Airport. Lots of time I have hear Pilots and ATC talking over radio they say "direct to Brickyard" VOR 116.3. I have the new KIND airport installed, A few years ago they moved the main terminal from the north end to the center of the airport.
Regards

I reckoned that's what you meant.
As regards the crash report, I can't think of any light to shed... Might be worth trying the flight again (accelerated) to see if the same thing happens. Perhaps try landing on a different runway?

"direct to Brickyard"

Or to Brickwall, depending on how awake I am.

No idea! That's disturbing, and has never happened to me. It should never report a Crash unless you see FS itself say CRASH! with sounds of bused metal, etc.

Hope this never happens again. Rare bugs can be so hard to find.

Since this was with the DC3C I will try that same flight and see what happens. Maybe there's some quick in the airport.

Dutch,
Welcome back. Hope you are feeling better.
I thing I remember. that night was after I parked and unloaded FCOM said the
flight was closed and I look at it on the FS Admin and saw it was ok.
I remember I though I would restart and taxi over to Southwest parking.
and when started a sharp turn the wing got to close to building and reported
crash. I should have slew back then made the turn. that was after the flight was closed. I have a new mod KIND airport installed. the zip is kind08
by Joe Bourgeois downloaded from fltsim. has the new terminal moved to center of field. this just have been a but that just showed up.
Glad you are back.
