Not enough info to assist. What was the Source? Did you receive an error message after the shutdown? If so, what did/does it say? Does it continue to shutdown or intermittently? If you cannot restart FS2K4, try renaming your FS9.cfg and restarting. The FS9.cfg will rebuild itself. Also, need to sign your posts. Forum rules.Jim Young

No error messages received when FS9 shutdown. It shut down when I was flying-- program closed no error messages. I have no problem loading the flight simulator. I am following up with Activesky and WideFS. It seems there is a problem with those two items. A new version of WideFS and a new build of Activesky has been released so I am trying to determine if that issue has been addressed.Thanks!Jerel
