Exiting the Sim

Featured Replies

Hi,

I would like to know if there is a proper sequence to EXIT (shut down the simulator) when you are in flight (e.g. P3D: pause the sim with P and press Ctrl + C to shut it down)?

Thanks for response

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.

Hi Juergen,

I don't know of any keyboard shortcuts yet, but I press Escape, then click on return to main menu, then click on exit to windows.

It can take a few seconds.  

You can do alt-enter to go to a windowed mode, then click on the X in the top right corner, but it may not save any settings or accomplishments that way.

Hi Bobcat999,

That seems to work.

BTW were in your neighborhood last year (Coventry) to use a 3D flight simulator at Flight Simulator of Midlands. Beautiful country

Appreciate the help

Excellent!  👍

If you don't want to touch the mouse at all, then it looks like Alt-Enter (to get to windowed mode) then Alt-F4 might work for a really speedy exit.  🙂

PS. Yes, I am 30 minutes from Coventry Airport.  My family keep threatening to buy me an hour on the B737 simulator there!

Hi,

Do it, it's great. I did the A320 and the 737.

Worth the money, say hello to Capt'n Chris Rigby from me.

All the best

I usually Exit with an unceremonious Alt-F4, myself, though sometimes I'll go back to Menu and Exit to Desktop from there... I assume when I Alt-F4 it may not "save it's state", so if I just finished a bush activity or something I'll take the time to go back to the menu, but that's usually the only reason I'll do it that way.
