I used to be able to use the simulator without a mouse. Now if I power off with the power button it comes back next time in safe mode.

LOL that’s exactly what it is. 🙂 Let me see what I can do…having the sim operation in a state disjoint from its pref memory is awkward but certainly not impossible…

But would it be possible to leave the settings that are displayed in the rendering options (and possibly elsewhere) at the old, screwed values (and also leave the pref files on disk alone), while actually using the defaults? That way, you could back down one setting a time until it no longer crashes, instead of rebuilding the prefs from scratch. At the moment, safe mode seems to be not much more than a nice UI for trashing the pref files.

Days. But…understand, it’s beta. We don’t ever promise that a beta will work or be fun to use, or that crashes in betas will be cilcked quickly . Betas are out there to find bugs, not to have nice flights.

Am I looking at weeks, or do you have a handle on it for a near-term fix?
And thx for the reply, Ben. 🙂

There is a crash bug in beta 1. The fix is … beta 2. 🙂 There is no work-around for this…betas are going to be screwed up for some users some of the time.

Since installing 10.10b1, X-Plane crashes each and ever start. I only get to the Crash Reporter and are never offered Safe Mode. X-Plane is simply un-startable, and that has NEVER happened before. I’m dumbfounded at this turn of events.

If no command line switch, is there anything I can do to get this thing off the ground, so to speak? During the loading, I get past the “Will init ATC” message, then comes a resource loading message on qflite.png (opening that file in an image editor shows no evidence of corruption in that png.) After that, the Crash Reporter comes up and that’s it. No Safe Mode.

I know you don’t want bug reports posted here, and I have posted an official bug report through the proper reporting channel. I’m just looking for suggestions to get past this and back into the air, if possible.

Thanks.
