In order to make a new file for my Wilco CRJ 200 I am facing a new problem. All my profiles in the folder FDC/data/ XXX.pro have a size of round about 5 KB. When I create now a new profile it becomes 3000 KB! Even if I create a new profile and select an already existing aircraft and checklist it becomes that huge size. What can cause that problem?

Regards
Axel

I don't know if my memory is getting worse as I get older...
...I just can't remember how it used to be!

Okay, thanks for the email.

The content of that file has absolutely nothing to do with FDC so I would be REALLY interested to know, step by step, just HOW you created it? To me it looks like you may have a a corrupted FAT (File Allocation Table) which could be a pre-warning for some further HD problems!

I did it as follows: After starting the software I opened the "Options" menu. On the following screen I clicked on "Select Aircraft" in the upper left corner. On the next screen I selected an aircraft in "Select aircraft for this flight" in the uper left corner and a checklist in "Select checklist for this aircraft" in the upper right corner. Having done that I clicked on "Safe profile" in the lower left corner and gave it a new name. That's all I did.
I did it with my own created aircraft and checklist files. Just now I did the same with original data (King Air 350 for aircraft and checklist) but the result was again a 3000KB big XXX.pro file.
BTW, I hope you are wrong with your HD clue but I will check it and safe my data immediately :shock:
