Indeed, im talking about offline single player.
It doesnt crash, it just pauses but without the pause screen. When i come back to the game it goes on as if nothing happened.

Like DwnUndr, i want to be able to send my ship on a half-hour trip and alt-tab to check boards, chat on msn and other real life stuff.

No idea how i could solve this?

Thanks for the response.

Is there any way to make the game keep running when you minimize it or, in windowed mode, focus on other windows?
I would like to play FL and do other stuff at the same time, like using msn.

Thanks
