I hoped that the arrival yesterday of TS2020 would fix things but no, same result but this time I get an out of memory message. Went to play it earlier this week and found that both would no longer run, clicked on Start having selected a route etc and instant crash talking about Access Violation.
#TRAIN SIMULATOR 2019 CRASHES PC#
I last played TS2019 in July on both my desktop pc and laptop, no problems at all. The FAA approved the plane for flying again late last year after Boeing made changes to MCAS.The various threads mentioning this issue have become a bit tangled so I thought I'd start a new one to bring everyone up to speed. Max jets were grounded worldwide for more than a year and a half. The settlement included a $243.6 million fine, nearly $1.8 billion for airlines that bought the plane and $500 million for a fund to compensate families of the passengers who were killed.ĭozens of families of passengers are suing Boeing in federal court in Chicago.Ĭrash investigations highlighted the role of MCAS but also pointed to mistakes by the airlines and pilots. The government agreed to drop a criminal charge of conspiracy against Boeing after three years if the company carries out terms of the January 2020 settlement. NBC 5’s Charlie Wojciechowski reports.Ĭhicago-based Boeing agreed to a $2.5 billion settlement to end a Justice Department investigation into the company's actions. “So I basically lied to the regulators (unknowingly),” Forkner wrote in a message that became public in 2019.įorkner, who lives in a Fort Worth suburb, joined Southwest Airlines after leaving Boeing, but left the airline about a year ago.Īfter the first crash of a Boeing 737 Max last year, federal safety officials estimated that there could be 15 more fatal crashes of the Max over the next few decades if Boeing didn’t fix a critical automated flight-control system. “His callous choice to mislead the FAA hampered the agency’s ability to protect the flying public and left pilots in the lurch, lacking information about certain 737 MAX flight controls."įorkner told another Boeing employee in 2016 that MCAS was “egregious” and “running rampant” when he tested it in a flight simulator, but he didn't tell that to the FAA. attorney for the northern district of Texas. “In an attempt to save Boeing money, Forkner allegedly withheld critical information from regulators,” said Chad Meacham, acting U.S. Congressional investigators suggested additional training would have added $1 million to the price of each plane. Prosecutors suggested that Forkner downplayed the power of the system to avoid a requirement that pilots undergo extensive and expensive retraining, which would increase training costs for airlines. Most pilots didn’t know about MCAS until after the first crash. That led the agency to delete reference to MCAS from a technical report and, in turn, it didn’t appear in pilot manuals. Prosecutors said that Forkner learned about an important change to the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System flight-control system in 2016, but withheld the information from the FAA. The pilots tried unsuccessfully to regain control, but both planes went into nosedives minutes after taking off.įorkner was Boeing's chief technical pilot on the Max program. The indictment charges that he hid information about a flight-control system that activated erroneously and pushed down the noses of Max jets that crashed in 2018 in Indonesia, and 2019 in Ethiopia. A Boeing pilot involved in testing the 737 Max jetliner was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury on charges of deceiving safety regulators who were evaluating the plane, which was later involved in two deadly crashes.
