This is -how beta 10 already works-.

If you were in full screen, and you don’t hold down the shift key, you stay in full screen.

Another one should be that xplane won’t restart in windowed mode if it crashes…in my opinion it should restart in fullscreen if this option was selected before.
Using 4 machines this could be very useful to avoid checking each one all the times xplane crashes for any reason.

I would be grateful if you’ll add this function in near future!!!

I have to agree that being able to save and restore the full sim state is a good idea – you might have to leave X-Plane and finish a flight the next day. So having some kind of ‘perfect’ restore is a pretty sane (albeit possibly complicated*) feature.

My only bone to pick is that I consider the state of stability of a fully enhanced X-Plane to be _not acceptable_ right now…the sim just crashes too much. I’m not sure what the next push can be to fix this; the crashes we get reported in-field have become useless because we’ve fixed the ones we can read. The remainder are crashes in the NVidia and AMD and Intel drivers, and on Windows, we don’t get good traces out of them (a limit of 64-bits and not having their symbol files). We are working to restore mac crash reporting, which may help.

* If we implement perfect save/restore, it won’t help you – because you are using third party aircraft and our save/restore can’t save the simulation state inside their plugins. So every third party aircraft would have to be modified to support save/restore too.

Band-aid solution?… Since my early X-Plane9 sorties its not been the X-Plane crashes that bother me so much, but the full multi-hour simulation ruined or the time lost just to get back to same point I was before the crash. X-Plane will always crash as there are so many different elements working together they will and do fail, a saving running copy of all the settings (does the replay do this now?) to go back just a few frames would certainly keep us very happy, In most cases we fix the fault and move on. SD

I think the proposal is not so unimportant, even if it is not 100% accurate position. It would be much easier, if it is possible, someday. After 10.40 final, it would be nice if Laminar, could be introduce a new handling for libraries, just for the restructuring of the library system, to install the airports easier.
However, I am very pleased with the simulator, good work Ben and the rest of the Team :)..
How do things look in the future, that there is a dedicated online servers for X-Plane 10, like dafsim.com for example (control with a voluntary ATC), but really supports the X-Plane features?

Greetings and a nice Weekend,

Egad! I thought you forced a Rendering Options screen on re-start, my bad. Yes, I crashed it via UNSAFE and it just relaunched. My jaw dropped. . . my eyes teared in gratitude. Yay! Thanks for this.

Actually I misrepresented too when I said “scores per day” in my first comment. Bad sasl code doesn’t usually result in a crash. The only crashes I’ve seen in ages were due to scenery in Orly – cured by converting .bmp files to png and dds. But then maybe I forget because clearing UNSAFE is pure muscle memory.

I think you may not have understood my post.

‘YMMV but the holy grail for me would be if it started in safe mode only by request (via shift key)’

This is exactly what we have implemented in 10.40 beta 10.

Probably not. My view of the current situation is that we all need to work on stabilizing the sim, not band-aiding around it.

No change other than how it comes up – it still resets all rendering settings but not any other settings.
