I believe MAC is @BeachAV8R’s own company and MAD is the VA. Both are Air Hauler. The is also a MAD at FSEconomy. This will all get sorted out in due time I am sure.

I had the same issue on Saturday…ended up doing another DCS:Mi-8 Oilfield mission to ease the frustration. I’m going to try to walk through those steps today / tonight, see if I can get things going.
Really keen to join the company while things are fresh - I guess these early frustrations are all part of the fun, aye? 
Slightly different to my usual scrooge mcduckface approach… (wait 3+ years for the product to mature and then get it on special).
About to fly some tea from KPUW to S24 for my own company (Rhino Aviation). Should be able to see on the radar shortly if anyone cares!

This is a very um… dry and straightforward flight haha.
Not a high traffic destination though, and according to skyvector the runway has some gravel spillover so maybe that’ll be exciting. Until then… lots of brown…

I just saw you on the radar (and @smokinhole in his DC3)… I’m at Boeing Field after dropping cargo there from Skagit (home base). I’ll join the Mudspike company once I get to grips with the program a little more.

Arggh! Blue Screen of Death again. How many times on this forum have I stood on my snob perch and laughed at you guys for your mods and your betas? And now here’s dumb smokin’…he just had to do the beta (with no back up no less!). Fortunately I was in network mode and hadn’t hit ok so nothing was lost. So yeah I went with the easy mode and leased a DC-3. If I can find a way around the BSODs I might actually be able to pay back the bank. My company is Smokin’ Hole Innovative Transit.

LOL…yeah…
Mudspike Air Cargo (MAC) - BeachAV8R’s personal company
Mudspike Air Delivery (MAD) - Virtual Airline for X-Plane (FSE), and P3D and X-Plane (AH2)
I’m really curious what is causing your BSODs. I’m flipping in and out of X-Plane (Beta 9 or something?) and alt-tabbing and typing this as I’m flying and not having issues. Is your X-Plane log.txt giving any hints? Maybe out of memory errors?
I am not ashamed to admit I had to google maps the airport to find it before landing! LMAO.
No amount of binocular usage from the cockpit was finding the strip. I need to double check whether my True Earth is working or not. I think it is, looks like I’ve got ortho there… the textures are crap at ground level lol. Not much in this area it seems, so hard to say. I’ll need to load up something more populated and test. This place has no taxiway, no visible “dirt” taxi way, or whatnot. There’s a barn… I assume they keep a bi-plane in it 
I just taxid off to the side on what looks like it might have been the intended taxi spot.
anyway, first flight for my company done, and I didn’t slam the aircraft into the ground. We won’t talk about the pattern work. The little figure 8 as I located the strip means nothing

My little diversion to S97 cost me some daylight and the weather isn’t quite as good (still plenty good though). It was worth it to watch Captain Marvel with the family and eat some chili…

No weather reporting at my destination though…so borrowing the KOMK ASOS to approximate things… Still good though 9,500 OVC (which does cover some mountain peaks) and winds 150 at 11. The airport I’m heading to (0S7) doesn’t have instrument approaches…so definitely a fair weather airport.
It’s BSOD’ing. So… no crashlogs. X-Plane takes a bullet to the brain and doesn’t have time to report the shooting to the police. I am using medium settings. I wasn’t in VR at the time of the crash. I thought it might be Forkboy2’s Washington but it happened in Phoenix earlier today. It runs well enough though. I’ve had this PC for 3 years and I don’t recall ever getting a blue screen before yesterday. FSEconomy, maybe? The Xsquawkbox plugin? (I just now removed that.)
Baby toys will need to wait until tomorrow.

I’m in good company then
Yeah, I went into WN47 (a skinny grass strip between some skinnier, and very tall, trees). Couldn’t pick it out til about a mile East. Did the fly over crosswind; memorize the topography; turn back around and try and land thing.
Dang screen capture key combo got changed or I just forgot it. Was going to do a write up but none of the pictures got captured (no film in the camera?).
And I’ve been flying [crashing] Hornets onto the deck too much: AH said my landing was “Positive”. And apparently that’s not good. I thought it was good: 400 fpm. And it was grass strip. Softer, yes? AH said it was concrete. Oh well. $1,500 in damage, which ain’t bad for anything stamped “Aviation Use”.

I just tried to transfer a job to the VA to fly, but get a crash when I try to send it…
I was getting those yesterday too, but all good after a restart.

Bummer, dude. I’m running:
XP 11.50 Beta 9
Orbx TE Washington state
And not much beyond the ‘mandatory’ plugins:
- FlywithLua (only to set one value at startup for cloud flickering)
- AviTab
- Stuff X-Plane, I think, put in there (reminds me; I gotta checks those out and cull what ain’t needed)
My only CTD’s are when I a) use the Map (“M” key); go back-n-forth too many times to the config menu.
Settings are all mid-level, cept’ HDR needed for lighting in the BE18 cockpit
OFF TOPIC
Anybody else get this ‘cracking’ in the terrain about, oh 80-90% to the horizon? Here’a bad capture (not sure whey it’s so low-res. another thing to look at):
I seem to get it constantly with Orbx and default scenery
Oh! Oh! I had that about 2 hours ago. Grrr. I deleted my personal company and started a new one, everything same (same name, handle). Best part is it retained my connection to the VA!. My last job was with the new company.
The only thing I think I changed, before that happened, was I changed my Handle: from JayAre to JarAre - MAD - JR’s Fly By Night Air Service. Too help with VA ppl when looking at the RADAR.
Deleting the company was a last resort but, crossing fingers, it’s working. However, now that I’ve said that I need to try to transfer another job (it crashed on the 2nd one). I’ll try it real quick
Yes - I’m getting it and I think other B9 (beta 9) users have reported it as well.
More info here - I haven’t actually read the thread to see if there is a solution, but I remembered seeing it being discussed:
