yes. But the autopilot should not be unable to fly it as well.
As soon as I turn the FGMC, my computer is unable to keep running FG.

The FGMC helps pilots to fly a plane. It DOES NOT take control over the plane, as it does with this model
(with this I am saying, the plane should be flyable, with FGMC OFF as well. Not fully FGMC dependent. Notice I am not referring to Route Manager)

Also, I use to have several hours on this plane. It used to work. With FGMC and Without FGMC, via the cockpit AP.

Finally; NAV1 was not switching to someting programmed in the FGMC. It was switching to a random VOR in the vicinity of the aircraft position. And completely disregarding the frequencies indicated by the pilot. NAV2 was ok; preserving the set frequency.

If we gave everybody in the World free software today, but we failed to teach them about the four freedoms, five years from now, would they still have it? Probably not, because if they don’t recognise their freedoms, they’ll let their freedoms fall

Well, if you set it via F12, sorry.
And too bad about the bug, but in the airbuses, you MUST use the FGMC. Thats like saying a car can run without a fuel pump. Sure, on a hill you can, but it is not designed to do so.

"MASTER FMGC LOGIC :

* If one autopilot (AP) is engaged, the related FMGC is master :

- it uses the onside FD for guidance
- it controls the A/THR
- it controls the FMA 1 and 2

* If two APs are engaged, FMGC1 is master.

* If no AP is engaged and

- the FD1 pushbutton is on, then FMGC1 is master.
- the FD1 pushbutton is off, and FD2 pushbutton on then FMGC2 is master.

* if no AP/FD is engaged, A/THR is controlled by FMGC1."

I compile it from source myself.
The git repositories for simgear (dependency) and flightgear are in SF
http://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/fli ... next/tree/
http://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/sim ... next/tree/

Then you need FGDATA, which comes with no aircraft here
http://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/fgd ... next/tree/

Or in my opinion, much better and convenient with every aircraft in the same repository as submodules, here
http://sourceforge.net/p/fgdata/submodu ... next/tree/
[note]: Using the submodules here will update the aircrafts from FGMEMBERS.

There is the nightly builds to get flightgear already compiled, depending of your OS
http://download.flightgear.org/builds/nightly/
Which also works with the same FGDATA (with or without submodules)

... except for the fact that version control on this repository isn't done and you're on your own in case of problems - it's a third party hangar, not officially supported.

... but is over ruled by a group of willing developers who work on fixing those bugs.

But seriously Thorsten, reading through my log file, have you any idea what may have caused the crash? My RAM was stable in tests a few days before with the same plane, so ruling out that.

Also, I keep seeing errors when I open the jeteay editor, related to something like jetwayeditor.cxx...
