February 16, 20242 yr I was running Flashlight successfully (P3d v5.4) until I recently deleted Navigraph's Simlink. After the deletion, the remnants popped up a message about having to start Simlink manually and also Flashlight would not start at all. I got rid of that message by cleaning up some left over Simlink files but, after uninstalling Flashlight and reinstalling it, the Flashlight window opens for a second or two then closes completely. This happens both in P3d and if I just try to start Flashlight from the Start menu. I have the proper settings in P3d per the user manual. Cure or suggestions would be appreciated. Stephen

My best bet is that uninstalling and "cleaning up some left over files" compromised SimConnect somehow. -> Check if there is a SimConnect.cfg file in "Documents" - if there is, rename or delete it, there shouldn't be one. This file was only necessary for pre-P3D SimConnect clients and only when running on another computer. -> You can follow the usual tip of "install all legacy SimConnect clients", but this will do nothing for the Flashlight app - it is native P3D V5 and doesn't require any additional client -> Repair P3D using its installer - just in case. Also, maybe delete the config file(s) of the flashlight so it can built a new one. "AppData\Local\LORBY_SI\Lorby Flashlight\*.*" LORBY-SI
