I'm still hearing about this affliction from the same few users that reported it at the same time and I still have no idea what's going on.
There's been several IFs going out a week at a constant rate and no reports in my mail or on the forum other than concerning the loose ends around while work being done to add accessibility for the screen readers - and that's a lot of work.
If I am to help with this problem we need to follow a line of enquiry that does not include randomly re-installing and deleting folders and files in IF - that will not work. Maybe that traditionally works with scenery and other addons but IF is not a collection of files run by the sim it is an application that utilises every part of the sim. If it's not right there will be a result in one of the logs, or IF will back out. If it sees an error in a file, it backs out. if it thinks there's a security error, it backs out. If it can't receive simconnect data, it backs out.
When it backs out it is because a problem exists that is not expected. If it can be replicated here I can fix it if it's IF. If it's not IF then maybe I can put some measures in like a work-around, or I can pop up a message about system compatibility.
Until I have something to go on, it's a waste of time other than to put the PC back to when IF worked:
In IF delete the five folders in the data directory:
C:\Users\All Users\Ideal Flight Professional
Config
Flight
Index
Log
Profiles
Then when you next run IF it reports it has just been installed and is as fresh as a baby.
