SUMMARY
=======

After an aircraft crashes you may see some screen corruption in the upper-left
corner of the screen as the situation resets itself.

MORE INFORMATION
================

This does not occur when flying the Cessna Skyline RGR R182. In VGA or SVGA
resolution, the corruption appears as a patch of brown and white pixels. In EGA
resolution it is recognizable as a gauge of some kind; however, it does not
correspond to any actual gauge in any aircraft.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Flight Simulator for MS-DOS,
version 5.0.
