May 28, 20215 yr I've been using the long winded way to exit the sim which is tedious, because Alt+F4 exits the sim so quickly, I wonder if it's doing it "properly", saving all the settings etc? Could be it's just the screen that goes quickly and the "under the bonnet" stuff carries on in the background? Do many use Alt+F4 without any consequences? Thanks Eugene
May 28, 20215 yr I use Alt-enter from full screen and than X-out. Never had a problem. I9-14900K, Gigabyte B760 Aorus Elite AX, RTX 4080, 32 ram.1 tb nvme M.2 SSD, MSFS 2020 on 2 tb nvme m.2 SSD
May 28, 20215 yr IIRC using Alt-F4 shuts down the window (program) immediately without saving any changes that might have been made and/or not yet written out. -J 13700KF | RTX 4090 @ 1440 | 64GB DDR5 | 2 x 1TB SSDs | 1TB M.2 NVMe
May 28, 20215 yr I often close with Alt-F4, especially when I am in development phase in which I don't care about the current situation. It doesn't save the airport you departed from, and probably does not save any other settings. If you don't care about this, it is definitely much faster than going back through the main menu.

May 28, 20215 yr You can also "kill" the program via the Task Manager.

May 28, 20215 yr i've quit through the long process and alt+f4 with no consequences thus far. I mainly use the long sequence as I feel the sim is in a sensitive state and I dont want to be welcomed by a situation where it broke something for one reason or another. How sad would it be if it broke it so a reinstall would be required. I doubt this would occur but I take the safe route most times. MSFS Alpha tester on W10 Pro x64. Hardware: AMD 5900X 12 core CPU.

May 29, 20215 yr Author Thanks for the input guys - I think I'll stick to the long winded way - the sim can be quite fragile on occasion, so sounds like the safest option. Eugene
May 29, 20215 yr I'm the same as brandon 01110 - I generally exit with alt+f4, but it often reverts back to the aircraft, controller settings and airport that was last chosen just prior to a proper shut down (or maybe at least an exit to main menu?). This is how it behaved till this recent update. I assume it's still the same. Edited May 29, 20215 yr by dogmanbird
