Thank you, Jim. Very kind of you to take the time to comment on all the points. I uninstalled and then reinstalled PMDG and the problem seems to be resolved. I will check "prompt on exit" and leave everything else alone. Regards, Bob

Issue: FSX:SE crashing when I press Legs/Next Page during FMS setup. Addons: EZDok Camera. ASN2016. P2ATC. Scenario: Load state cold and dark. Start Pilot 2 ATC, ASN2016, then FSX. Create flight plan, start power up procedures in FSX. Load route into FMS and after DEP/ARR information entered I go to legs page to check for disco's. Upon pressing legs then next page the program crashes and closes. Everything has worked for months without a hitch, have not changed anything. Task Manager shows CPU and memory around 40% at time of crash. Under Admin Events I find: Faulting application name: fsx.exe version... Faulting module name: PMDG 737NGX and other information. Warning: Kernel-EventTracing. "The backing file for the realtime sessioni DefenderApiLogger has reached is maximuin size. This error is often caused by starting a trace session in real time mode without having any real time consumers. Also under events: Error - Distributed COM. The application specific permission settings do not grant local activation permission for the COM server application with CLSID. My system is as follows: Intel Core i5-7500 Processor 3.40 GHz INVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5 16GB DDR4-2133 RAM 1TB HDD + 250GB SSD I hope all that means something to someone out there. Thanks in advance!! Bob

Working great. Thanks Dave.

Tried the trial version and everything worked great. Bought the license yesterday and everything works fine except TERPS. I enter and ICAO code while connected to my sim but no charts are found. I have confirmed Adobe is the default reader per the instruction manual. All of my settings and configs were saved from when I set up the trial version but charts is the only thing not working. Looking for help. Thanks. Bob Koehler

My FSX;SE PMDG 737 is working flawlessly since the 12-12-17 update.

Did an update get pushed out or is it just coincidence that I took two short haul flights today and no error creating child window?

I spoke to soon. After a couple successful flights the problem is back today. Very frustrating.

Installed the KB4051963 update today then completed a flight in the PMDG 737NGX from Nice to Barcelona without any problems. Fingers crossed the error creating child window issue is resolved. Bob Koehler

Thanks Jim and Tony for the replies. I am aware of the hand/arrow symbols and what they represent and how they function, and not being "in the seat". My issue is even when zoomed back in the cursor still will not operate anything in the VC cockpit.

Seems like a long running problem. Running FSX SE with PMDG 737. Sometimes, with no apparent pattern, cursor no longer changes to a hand to control knobs, switches, etc.. Can sometimes get it to come back via view changes, zoom changes, etc., other times not. Any fixes or known "don't do's" to keep it from happening?
