Guys, those who on win7 64-bit, did you notice the process doesn't shut off on exit from the game? Unfortunately it has many complications for different reasons in fs9. Any ideas how to make fs9.exe exit and shut down properly?Thanks,Dirk.

Hi,It does on my computer.

Yes, mine too.

Thanks for the answers, btw did you modify the header of your current fs9.exe? Mine is set to handle >2Gb memory from my previous WinXP 32-bit install. Is this tweak not needed on Win7 64-bit?Thanks,Dirk.

It happens to me as well. I have just tried a version with the >2GB patch, and a version without, and with each, the process continues to run until killed by me using task manager.I haven't been able to find anything about this using Google.Cheers

What's even worse is that there's no strict rule or order, it's intermittent. Sometimes it shutts off on its own, sometime it just runs till I kick it out via task manager. Go figure.Thanks,Dirk.PS: I tried to remove FSUIPC.dll and GoFlight related dll-s to no effect whether in or out. Still intermittent with a slightly better chance of the exe without >2Gb edit.

So, a newer question here is if we still need the >2G edit on Win7 64-bit install?Thanks,Dirk.

Hi,Are you running Active Camera? This is probably the answer you are looking for on this forumRgds,Hugo

You most certainly do (to the FS9 executable). BTW, the FS9.exe closes on my Win7 x64 install. FS9 is installed in the root of C: tho, I wonder if that makes a difference.Cheers, SLuggy

Its a 64 bit thing, im on vista 64 bit and i currently have 20 chrome.exe(x32) processes in my task manager XD

As I understand it, you do not need the 3GB switch with any 64bit system. FS9 exe closes on my W7 64bit , FS9 NOT installed in default location.Bob

Something is wrong on your system then. I have Win 7 64 on 2 computers and Chrome on both and never have more than 2 chrome processes running let alone 20.

You do not need any mods to boot.ini since Win7 x64 doesn't have one... you do, however, need to patch fs9.exe to be large address aware.DJ

Noted about the header, thanks, I thought so.My fs9 is on the dedicated partition E (disk 02), Active Camera's dll was out of Modules for tests.Win 7 64-bit here. I'm suspicious about Wilco's Airbus v1 that I installed already, though I tested it in default situation with Cessna in KSEA.Thanks,Dirk.

Each tab in Chrome runs in it's own process, 20 tabs loaded = 20 chrome processes. FS9 only needs the LAA (Large Address Aware) mod if you have over 3GB memory. Win7 64 does not require, nor should it have the /3 GB switch. No problems here with FS9 unloading on exit.. Partitioned on the main C: drive in its own partition F:.Roman
