May 22, 201511 yr Does anyone know of a setting/option where I can get FSX:SE to start in the Free Flight screen. It now starts in the "Home" screen, which attempts to display a website from Dovetail- causing the sim to crash suddenly on start. The times it does start successfully, the website doesn't load. FSX Used to begin the screen where you last left off- but that function seems to have disappeared.

May 22, 201511 yr Administrators Check you FSX-SE.cfg for this entry to start on the Free Flight Screen.

Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!
May 26, 201511 yr Author Yes- that's not what I meant. If you don't show the opening screen, it'll load straight to the default flight. What I'm talking about is the "home" screen that loads a webpage from DoveTail. FSX used to start right where you left off. If you quit FSX in the settings screen, you'd begin there the next time you started the program. I'd like to be able to start in the "free flight" screen, and not have rubbish webpages from DoveTail loading. I did some searching and someone else experienced this problem too: https://steamcommunity.com/app/314160/discussions/0/618460171324466693/ Brendan R, KDXR PHNL KJFK Type rated: SF34 / DH8 (Q400) / DC9 717 MD-88/ B767 (CFI/II/MEI/ATP) Majestic Software Q400 Beta Team / Pilot Consultant / Twitter @violinvelocity

November 23, 201510 yr Author No unfortunately. I migrated to P3DV3 and have FSX boxed installed for Q400 beta testing. Brendan R, KDXR PHNL KJFK Type rated: SF34 / DH8 (Q400) / DC9 717 MD-88/ B767 (CFI/II/MEI/ATP) Majestic Software Q400 Beta Team / Pilot Consultant / Twitter @violinvelocity
