 I believe this was identified back in the spring. I remember seeing messages to the effect that the problem had been identified as early as the winter and that Sublogic and Atari had been made aware that this combination wasn't working back then. Sorry to hear it still hasn't any solution. The only one that comes to mind is maybe the cartridge version might work. I am assuming that you have the
 disk version of the Flight Sim.

 Good Luck, Terry. Hope they have a solution for you.

BTW, I remember the earliest I saw mention was on a BBS in New York, and I 
believe it was also on Atari's own BBS at around the same time, Mar/April
time frame. Can't remember for sure if the information hit the Usenet
systems or not.
