Don't totally blame the software when there are so many other variables that could cause the issues.
I'll have another poke around. I know somehing isn't right, I just need to get on top of it. All my other payware things have gone on and run faultlessly. I don't what to fiddle around where I'm not supposed to. I've been trying to get this right since I bought it. If I knew what line to delete I'd do it. I shouldn't need to be deleting lines or anything else. It should run. AES, Advanced Encryption Standard? I don't think I'm running that and until you mentioned it, I'd never heard of it. If you know what to do to fix it, let me know and I'll try it. Other people have indentified one of the 'variables' as the software, not just me.

I have the same problem with this product. I have FSX and was shocked to discover that Microsoft had done away with Meigs Field. It was as most people know, the default airport to fly from. I bought Chicago - X because it has the best rendition of Meigs Field that I could find. I only wonted if for that really, but in fact, the whole package is outstanding in itself, except that it has come with all the problems that DaveL and others have mentioned.
If I stick to the Meigs Field airport area the scenery manages to cope, but if I go anywhere near O'Hare or particulary Shaumburg, the scenery becomes complely unworkable. The aircraft usually blacks out, that is to say, all of the cockpit instrumentation disapears into a blackness. The buildings grow black spikes and look horribe. The concrete aprons and taxiways shimmer and look strange. They sort of flash. When that happens I have to terminate the flight and start again. Like most people, I have lots of third party sceneries, and all of them behave faultlessly. My PC is bang up to date and can handle any programme there is with no difficulty at all, not just FSX. I've tried all of the usual things to get the Chicago-X to run properly and it is having none of it. So I just fly out of Meigs from time to time because I like hearing the sounds of the water and the traffic around the airport, which is nice. I bought it in June 2010. I've given up on the rest of it.

The problem with Ultralights is that they are rather complex in flight models and have a limited appeal. We have done one already in rather high end form and I do not think there are enough customers for another one.
Hi, thanks for your reply. Of course your correct, the amount of work needed to produce the Ikarus could outweigh the return in sales.
I'm very grateful for you taking the time to reply to me,
Best wishes.

This is a topic/questionfor Aerosoft to answer really, namely, if or when will Aerosoft produce a version of the Comco Ikarus C42 microlight? This is an aeroplane that is becoming ever more popular across Europe for it's easy going flying characteristics,reliability and cheapness to operate, thus making it more affordable flying for all.
A lot of people are learning to fly on the Ikarus and it would fill a need across all of Europe if there was a payware version available that was perfect in every way as all of Aerosoft's creations always are.
It would be a great way to learn in a simulator (FSX) how to fly and master some of the flying techniques that will have to be learned by many trainee pilots on the very training aircraft they will be flying.
It was just a thought, but I really think that Aerosoft are the people to do this and do it well. There is definite felt need for this aircraft for student pilots and private pilots alike.
Would anyone at Aerosoft be able to tell us if there are any plans to produce one?

Would this be what you are looking for HERE?
Hi many thanks for your reply, that was exactly what I was looking for. I have now bought the CD and looking forward to its arrival in the next few days.
Many thanks againg for taking the time to help me out, I had no idea that there was an up to date version available.
Cheers,

Hi, this is my first post on your forum and it is a good forum, full of good things to read. I have not been flight simming for long, about 2 years and I'm still building up my sceneries.
I like to fly low and slow in my A2A Piper Cub and I have been trying to find a good scenery for West Germany, the North Rhine Westphalia region.
I can't seem to locate the Aerosoft version of VFR Germany 1 West.
If someone could send me a link or give me a heads up on where I can buy that, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

Hi Shaun, many thanks for your guidance, I assure you it's very much appreciated and it gave me a new way to go. I did as you said, I didn't realise I'd lose most of my preferred settings but that was a minor issue, I soon had those back in apple pie order. But.........
Unfortunately, it was to no avail. I even uninstalled the software and had a look around and put on a freeware download of Meigs. Well, truth to tell, you could have knocked me down with a feather! The black spikey lines were there again, not as bad but definitely there, like clingons on the starboard bow! I was shocked.
I still don't know what's wrong with it. It happens in the vicinity of O'Hare when it comes on. I'll just have to live with it for now and keep my eyes and ears open.
It proved to me one thing for a complete certainty, there is nothing wrong with the Aerosoft Chicago X software, which, I'm bound to add, means I have to eat my words and agree with Beckerm13, he was right.
As a small aside, I'm flying into O'Hare later in the year on vacation and will be in Chicago for three days.I will be making my way to Merril Meigs Field to see for myself what has happend there and to try and imagine what it was like before Mayor Daley hit it in the dead of night with the bulldozers.
Many thanks again.
