P3D crashes when pressing CTRL+F12
« on: November 04, 2017, 04:20:35 pm »
P3D v3.4 crashes when I press CTRL+F12 saying "Error creating child window".

I have been running p3d and gsx for years without any issue

I checked to the following link but I am not enrolled in the insider program (I checked under win 10 update & security), so this should not be the cause: https://fselite.net/news/flight-simmer-beware-windows-10-insider-program/

I know you may say it is nothing to do with gsx, but it is only when I try to open gsx that this happens

The problem doesn't have anything to do with GSX, and it seems related to the Windows Creator update, which has been released officially, so everybody that fully updated Windows 10, will have it by now.

However, I cannot reproduce the problem by simply opening GSX. Not in P3D 3.4, and neither in FSX or P3D 4.0 so, it must be some other addon you have installed which is affected by this.

Some users reported it only happens when using PMDG airplanes.
