MCP lockup

[stefanloss]

Hi everyone,

during my last flights, I´ve had my MCP (Build 422) locking up several times. Though adding qite some tension to the flight, it´s not really funny to re-stat the MCP-Software during an online-controlled approach.

Has anyone encountered the same kind of problem?

I´m not sure whether the problem lies within the MCP-Software itself or if I am simply running too many programs on this PC, but I will try using an earlier build for now.

Stefan - I was suffering this last week - and I eventually discovered that it was the power lead that goes into my hardware MCP, that was partially unplugged and hence, cutting out occasionally.

I know this may not be your problem but worth a check.

Thanks David,

in fact the problem is more likely to lie within the MCP software. I downgraded to Build 420, which has been running for several hours now without any problems.

I´ll write a few lines to the PM staff on that.
