Going to try running some “drugs” from M50 to KEAT. I have to reposition to M50 from KPSC first…a nice stroll down the river. I will try the repo leg with Active Sky and Traffic running…see what happens.
It looks like it’s a known issue with central when downloading stuff. Recommendations are basically to reduce the quality of your performance to make it work. We’ll see. I’m on my fifth attempt at letting it convert the Washington package.

I had some trouble installing TE WA too. Don’t remember exactly what was the issue. But I guess make sure there’s enough space in the drive for orbx library and its extraction process… I had first used manual download. That never worked.
So I’m happy to report that I’m running Active Sky (unfortunately - no bad weather down here in south-east Washington state) and Traffic Global and they seem to be getting along just fine with Air Hauler 2. My order of operations was:
Active Sky
Air Hauler 2 (Admin mode - not sure if that makes a difference)
Select mission
AH2 launches X-Plane
I was resuming where I left off in KPSC, and it put me in exactly the same spot I had parked (not a parking slot, but just where I decided to shut down) - but oddly enough (I’ve noticed this on two occasions) my engine was already running even though I had shut it off at the end of the last flight (mixture cutoff, mags off, battery off). There is no issue with changing liveries in X-Plane, but I wonder what would happen if I had to swap out of the airplane totally and back in to get to cold and dark… 
This also begs the question - can I run an Air Hauler 2 mission AND FSE mission concurrently?
Got my cert in the 172. Not sure I like the cert process. Seemed like I was flying forever with no input from AH. Nevertheless I passed with flying colors.
Took a job flying from KTBR to KCKI with 654 pounds of shrimp. During this flight i discovered my autopilot which would have mad the cert flight ten times easier.
Probably should have read the manual before flying.
Not sure what plane i want next. Maybe something with a dual prop. Or maybe something that can hold a lot more then this 172.
Went with career and kept the starter plane.

Ya I have 700gb free on a 1tb ssd. I wish that was the issue. User error then lol.
Edit: I’m basically going to have to get all my orbx stuff installed and then go re-clock my computer since ei had to reset everything to default. Fun times.
Oh man…I’m sorry to hear that. Definitely not fun times.
Got my GTN 750 installed in the Husky - of all my flight sim tools, I honestly love the GTN more than any. It is such a great box (charts, weather, frequencies, maps…)…
Heading out of KPSC…
Dropping into M50 to pick up the drugs…
This is EXACTLY where I’d expect to pick up 100 lbs. worth of drugs…

If you only knew my suffering getting my rig ready for this new experience. Damn your eyes, @BeachAV8R! (classic insult from the Patrick O’Brien books, often resulted in a duel.)

So I’m guessing it was running the temp of my cpu up against the threshold and causing it to just hang. I would’ve expected it to shut down.
No way to verify that but declocking and reducing the cpu allocation to orbx seems to have fixed the issue.

That’s definitely great info.
Then… Who said it cant? 
I know when I push my i7 8700 past 4.8 that XP11 refuses to run. I can comfortably run it @ 5 for everything else, but I keep it at 4.8 for XP.
This was just orbx though, and only clocked at like 4.4? Stock is 4.2
Ditto. How does the virtual compare to the real deal?
You didn’t happen to overfly this part of the site, did you?

…but! They’re not complaining then?
Yeah, when you’d first mentioned this spot I tried it out (real-time wx) and was in the soup a lot trying to do the ILS. Then a small opening would appear below and it was, “oh, rocks down there”.

Did you use additional scenery for KEAT? The free one mentioned in your post [way] above?
Yeah, that’s why, if I recall correctly, I always started a new company in the P3D version with some bucks (Medium or Easy); it was either the default single engine Cessna/Piper or 737 - not much choice in between.
EXCELLENT find there!

Now that you mentioned it, I might have had to do the same thing. Glad it’s working out for you
