*Posting this for info rather than reporting an ongoing issue*

Not sure why but potentially due to an outdated AIRAC (which October update released today), every time I'd select FLT PLAN REQUEST on the FMC, it'd lock the entire sim and I had to force it with Windows to shut down - I went through this and froze in the same FMC spot at least 5 times. After updating the AIRAC, it works just fine. Confused what really caused this as there was a PMDG update and AIRAC update on the same day.

I've had that happen too, also on the 777. I figured it was (as always when something goes wrong) the panel state. I deleted it, recreated it and it works fine now. Do you use a pan el state?

I do, but I didn't delete anything. Just updated the AIRAC and it went away on its own. 

This was a problem that was talked about at length in the last couple of days. MSFS released an update yesterday that fixed it.
