I deleted the .cfg and did a short flight. It did indeed make things better. Much smoother and no crash on shutdown.

It would be very helpful for other readers to know what differences there were in your Prepar3d.cfg that was causing problems vs. the one that is not causing problems ... any chance you can share those differences?  (using Vic's suggestion of WinMerge tool will show you the differences).

Cheers, Rob.

Hi Rob...I wish I had saved the old .cfg but I am starting to get the Prepar3d not responding already again. No error log that I can see. So far it just happens when I close P3D.  I will post what ever comes up in the CFG.

Sam - I see you have older hardware, and I'm not saying that's the issue...  but with each sequential release of P3D it is not unreasonable to expect slightly higher resource needs from the PC.  This pattern has been clear since I started PC simming back in the early MS flight sim days.  Since you are overclocking your current CPU, you might consider dropping it down a bit to see if the behavior stops.  Just a thought from right field.

Yes sir you are right. I am just kind of holding out to see what is coming out in the next few weeks in the GPU area. I sure don't try to run with the sliders to high. I have just been seeing some things that others have also reported with for instance stutters and P3d crash when closing. An example would be the other day the studders came in in an area that should have been very easy for my system to handle. I turned off all the eye candy and  sliders all the way to the left and still the stutters. I think this is being caused by changing views and then returning to the cockpit but LOL! I can't prove it. I started the thread just to see what others are reporting. I have always had very good luck with P3d and interested to find out why some of these things are happening.

I would agree that stutters do not seem to be related in any way to a flaky overclock, but the crashing when closing just might be.  A slight tweak to your OC just might reveal if that is the culprit, at least for the crashing.  Process of elimination...

Good luck, my friend.
