I think that his point was if not everyone has the issue, then it is likely to be something on your end. I have never needed to restart it, either. I have played with exiting Couatl after I was airborne, and starting it after I landed. I didn't see any difference in how GSX behaved, and the FM car was always available. So, I don't think it's a bug, either. If you don't think it is helpful for your troubleshooting efforts to know that the program does not do the same for others, then I am sorry.
