Hello,

 

I have FSX with PMDG 737 NGX latest patch install on a Windows 8 system.  I don't know whether it has to do with the add-on or not, but I realize that whenever I choose "End flight" in FSX, FSX will directly exit to desktop without any warning message.  As I recall, choosing end flight should bring me to the main FSX menu.

 

Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it?

 

Thanks.

Hi Alan

Check this first. When the sim is loaded go to Settings- General, there is an option there to tick which says: Prompt on exit. ensure that is ticked and try again.

Kind regards

Hello, I just checked and the option is already ticked.

Hi again Alan

What happens if you close the sim from the "exit" (CTRL C) choice instead of end flight?

The result is the same as selecting "End Flight"

I'm wondering if you used the Time Compression feature during your flight? In my experience whenever I've used FSX's built-in simulation accelerator (Options -> Simulation Rate), FSX frequently CTD's when ending the flight. I had the same experience last night with the 777, however I used both the 777's Time Compression feature and FSX's simulation accelerator at various points during the flight. So I can't say the CTD problem is specifically related to the 777. I'll try it again today and only use the 777's TC feature.

 

Caveat: Can't remember the last time I had a CTD of any kind in FSX with the exception of the above, so my installation is pretty solid.
