Hello Everyone,

I have written about my Intercity Airways flight from Edinburgh (EGPH) to Sola (ENVZ) in Norway
on my Blog. 

http://deskpilot518.blogspot.com/2014/02/from-scotland-egph-to-norway-envz-in.html

What is not mentioned on the blog is that I had to restart this flight three times!   Yes, 3!
The first two times FSX crashed when I went out of Full Screen Mode, to access the ACARS.
The last time was when I realized, 20 minutes into the flight, that the "Off Blocks" button had
never been activated.   Ohhhh.....   mannn....      It was an adventure!

How does FSX crash when you switch between full screen and windowed? Does the screen go black with sound playing or does it quit to the desktop?

Chris,

It quits and goes to desktop.  I believe it has to do with ENB, according to the FSX log.

I might have to uninstall ENB again.

How many times have I forgotten to hit off blocks...usually settled in cruise. Was happening so often I have now scrawled it on my checklist. Great story btw. You have a great storytelling style.

ENBserie never got on with FSX on my system and created all manner of problems, which is a shame as I liked the look.

And I thought that was just me  In the J41 it's completely automatic, but unfortunately the Majestic's external FDE doesn't push through information about engine running status to FS UIPC and that's why we had to put in a manual button.
