Sounds like the similar problem that many of us seem to have recently. http://www.avsim.com/topic/498343-p3d-3414-hangs-when-using-other-applications/ http://www.avsim.com/topic/498448-p3d-v34-hangscrashes-when-loosing-focus/ I posted my workaround in the second thread until there is a fix. Maybe that'll work for you too.

I'm glad to hear that this issues is being looked at at LM. In the meantime I posted a temporary workaround in another thread. Maybe someone else can enjoy some flights before the problem is fixed.

It seems like I have found a "solution". Although my gpu temps are stable within 60°C, I have adjusted the base clock to -50MHz and the memory clock to -150MHz. Furthermore I have forced P3D to high priority. So far I was able to make 2 flights in around 3h time without any problems. It's not an elegant solution, but considering the countless hours I have spend so far, I'm happy that it's finally running ... at least for now.

Thank you very much for your reply, Elaine. P3D and all it's external addons are ignored by anti virus and everything is launched with admin rights. I used DDU every time I installed a new Nvidia driver. I uninstalled Migration Tool and there are no leftovers. Everything is up to date (FSUIPC, Active Sky etc.) I have put P3D into "close to default" state like you suggested. Unfortunately still no luck. After I started a flight in window mode I was able to minimize it, drag it around, pull it to the 2nd screen for about 30mins before it crashed in the background again while I was browsing. I'm starting to doubt that it's P3D related, although I'm not having that problem with any other 3D-applications so far. I'm going to try DCS soon. It all started after I took a 6 months break with P3D. It worked perfectly well earlier this year (around March). I'm suspecting a Windows update or something else. It's just hard to find out exactly what the problem is without having other references like users with the same issues for instance.

Thanks, David. In my case I do not use MSI Afterburner or any other 3rd party tuner software.

Yeah, it seems like there are many with the same or at least a similar problem right now: http://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=115652 http://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=122685

Hi there, I ran into this problem a couple of months ago and after reading (incl. the great AVSIM CTD-Guide) and trying everything I have read so far, I'm giving up and asking for your precious help. P3D 3.4 inconsistently hangs while the sound keeps running when I switch to another application and that happens in almost any thinkable situation - never while running in the foreground. Last 3 AppCrashView outputs: https://www.dropbox.com/s/bqlt3l8kmgfxsj0/P3D_appcrash_log_1.txt?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/7y6jcsxkjv1m2ye/P3D_appcrash_log_2.txt?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/3jdi1hbio25qfgr/P3D_appcrash_log_3.txt?dl=0 Scenarios: ... after P3D ran in a small window for hours in flight preparation where I jumped between applications and my 2 screens. I took off in fullscreen, switched to window mode and clicked inside my browser. ... after P3D ran in fullscreen and I clicked into my 2nd screen. ... after P3D ran in a small window in the background for some time without touching anything. ... and so on. I couldn't get P3Dv2 run into the same problem so far though. P3Dv3.4 is running with around 45fps. I never ran into OOM's. (failed) troubleshooting so far: installed earlier nVidia drivers (341.x, 352.x, 359.x ...) using DDU - reverted back to newest new Prepar3D.cfg, DLL.XML, scenery.cfg etc. disabled all addons no tweaks new Windows user System File Checker disabled unnecessary startup applications System: Intel Core i5-4690K @ 3.50GHz 8 GB RAM nVidia GeForce GTX 760 Win10 Pro 64Bit no overclockings Thank you for any advice.

Hi there, after I installed the demo the language in the default FSX ATC window (the one where you choose your transmissions) changed from English to German. I wonder why that happened and I cannot find any solution anywhere. An uninstall of the demo did not change the language back to English. How can I get the English text in the ATC window back? My OS and my FSX are in German, but the ATC window was in English.
