Exit vs Close FSUIPC7

[DLuis]

Hi Pete and John,

 

I want to know if there is one way to "exit" FSUIPC7 by command line or something that can be scripted. I start MSFS with some add-ons and to never forget any, I script the start and shutdown process.

With FSUIPC7, I can't exit the program. If I click the X or try to close the main window, the program goes to the tray icon, but doesn't exit. I need to manually select File -> Exit.

I also try to use the option to exit FSUIPC when MSFS does, it works, but sometimes the MSFS crash (can you believe?) in startup and then I forgot to restart FSUIPC7.

Is there any option (I didn't find) that when I click the X or close the main window, to "exit" the program instead of "close" to tray icon? I don't think that using the "task kill" it's a good idea...  

 

Thanks,

David

No.

Yes - the X just closes the window and is the same as File ->Close. You can also press Alt followed by F followed by x to exit FSUIPC7 - the keyboard shortcut.

Why don't you just have MSFS auto-start FSUIPC7?

Yes - use the keyboard shortcut. If FSUIPC is iconised, you can also press Alt+F (together) first to show the main window.

And what about that. It works like a charm 😀.

Thanks a lot for the answer John, it really helped me in what I needed. I would never guest this possibility without your help.

 

Thanks again 😀
