Hello,
FSX is up setting in TaskBar , when I click on ""X"" to close the prgram says closes clients, thats it Locks up
Is the issue with TrackIR or FSX?

Dustin,

Its the Track IR is the problem , it seems after working with , Track Ir starts up first before FSX and Shuts down after FSX is Closed all problems are NO MORE . It closes fine.!!

Its just you can't close Track IR up while FSX is Open, IF YOU DO, Track Ir wont close it Freezes up..

Sorry to take up more then asked of me ""YOUR Question"

Hello RangerDale,

TrackIR and FSX are communicating with each other and the reason why it will stall when attempting to close, is because it is still getting information from FSX. You are correct, the best order to start and stop the program is, start TrackIR, start FSX and then close FSX, close TrackIR. If you are not going to use TrackIR, but don't want to quit FSX. I would suggest pausing the TrackIR so it won't be active, but it also won't cause any crashing issues.

Regards,
