I did receive a reply today. We have exchanged emails back and forth over a couple/few weeks. I've provided more info. So we'll see how this plays out.

Unusual as my XP12 has been running like clockwork. The problem is only with XP and none of my other installed sims. It's a CTD on startup. 

he reason I asked the question was i wondered were they on a shut down (vacation? whatever) and I had just overlooked it.

Interestingly just for the hay of it I decided to start up XP11 and the same problem exists.

So both XP 11 & 12 are affected the same way. None of my other sims installed are affected and work normally.

The seems to be something targeting XP sims.

You're brave.  Reddit can be like walking through a prison in El Salvador.

It can be brutal when comparing sims, or talking about developers, for sure.

But when I see requests for help, I generally see good attempts to supply answers.

And again, my experience when seeking assistance there has been uniformly positive.

Kinda tells its own story.  The X-Plane subreddit is a cool place.  The flight sim subreddit...isn't.  Mirrors other public forums...if you catch my drift.

TBH, when requesting assistance, my experience & perception is similar regardless of the subreddit: it's positive.

Considering xp11 gives you choice of vulcan or opengl, have you tested it on both. Xp12 is vulcan only. Without your log.txt we cant even know.
