Is anyone else having trouble flying your addon payware aircraft? Ever since the beginning of November, after a windows update, every time I fly (mainly my PMDG products), I will get an error popup saying "error creating child window" and then FSX will just crash.... Is anyone else having this problem?

My computer runs Windows 10 (newest build) 64-bit.

Try running in a window instead of full-screen. That fixed it on mine, including on PMDG planes.

There's some threads on AVSIM about a recent update of Windows 10 (build 1709) causing the issue. A patch is expected from Msft in mid-December.

Oh okay awesome! Ill give it a shot. And yes Joel, I saw that too but originally they said it would be fixed in the November monthly update but it wasn't, so I guess we just keep our fingers crossed for the December update
