    FSX error help please

    I’m in need of some help please. When I try to close FSX it shuts down then after about 10 seconds an error message flashes on the screen too fast to read and then a banner pops up saying due to an error FSX is restarting. It restarts.

    i use it without error or any problems while in sim. The problem only occurs during normal shut down. I’ve tried shutting down in different ways always with same result.

    i checked the windows error logs which shows the error to be caused by the FSX panel.dll. I tried substituting the stock unmodified panel.dll but got the BSOD. The current and stock dll both have the same date and size.

    I think it all started about the time I reloaded the SWS Midway Battle Group. Don’t know that is what’s causing this.

    Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.

    Check the dll hasn't become 'read only'

    Just a thought

    As we noticed earlier the SWS installationchanges the dll so all previous lines are gone. Use backup and add sws lines manually.

    I had the same error message after installing recent addon aircraft in FSX W7x6. Had the same error message logged panel.dll on shutdown only. It turned out that FSX and only Fsx didn't like the visual studio 2015-2019 suite. Removing the recently added visual studio with add/emove program cured my problems with FSX.
    Visual studios 2015/2017/2019 use the same components, hope this helps.

    I have sent you another pm not sure if it sent it or not. I have had this problem before and both times it was the Microsoft visual c++ 2015/2017/2019 which caused the panel.dll error.
    Just check the dates of the latest Microsoft visual c++ entries and see if they correspond to the time the problem started.
    Good luck.

    Delete both of the visual c++ you mentioned in your pm, both the 2015 & 2017 visual C++ both use the same components as well as 2019. It was this that gave me the same error code faulting modules name panel.dll.
    Deleting these visual c++ stopped the error when exiting FSX.

    Results to now:

    1. Ran AV and Malwarebytes scans. Nothing found.
    2. FSX main folder was set to read only - un-ticted and verified
    --opened FSX default flight and flew one circuit
    --exited FSX normally and it restated after 27 seconds
    3. Removed MS Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable x64 dated 5/10/20, date trouble started
    --opened FSX default flight and flew one circuit
    --exited FSX normally and it restated after 27 seconds

    Are you now error free on exit? Did you install the sws g91 or f104 they return to the aircraft selection screen on exit. Never had FSX restart after exit, I hope someone else can help you out.

    Duckie.. some questions for you (despite the obvious answers) just to check out a few things.

    -- What is your default flight and aircraft when you load FSX and do a test flight?
    -- Have you tried to reset your FSX.cfg (delete and let the sim rebuild)?
    -- Have you examined the dll.xml or exe.dll file for any weird or duplicate entry?
    -- Did you remove the Midway group from your scenery.cfg (I don't have it, but is it there??)?

    Just wondering and sharing some random questions.

    If at first you don't succeed, try, try,try again. ... or go read the manual.

    Sorry that removing the visual c++ didn't work for you, as it has got rid of the panel.dll error twice for me. Did you install any addons recently?

    Reinstalled SWS Midway Battle Group - 1st uninstalled it through via windows uninstall process then removed all the left overs I could find. Backed up dll.xml. Then reinstalled same version. The was done because I was unable to trap aboard either SWS carrier. This is about when I noticed the problem. I say about because I didn't pay attention the first time it happened as I just thought I shut it down haphazardly. I downloaded the latest version of MBG and installed it yesterday which is when I began noticing the shutdown restart problem happening every time but it was happening before the latest install of the MBG.

    Dave, the error banner flashes so quickly that I cannot read it. It's immediately replaced with the "FSX is Restarting" Banner with the elapsed time crawl along the bottom of the banner. Once I shut FSX down it acts like it does shut down. The Icon leaves the tool bar and it takes a full 27.6 seconds for the error banner to flash and the restart sequence to begin.

    Very strange that it automatically restarts FSX, the error message stayed on the screen until I selected what I wanted it to do.

    OK. I managed to get a screen shot of the first banner which is, as I said replaced immediately by the restart banner.

    This flashes first 27 seconds after shutdown.



    The first banner is replaced immediately with this one which runs for about 15 seconds then the normal FSX start screen appears which leads to a normal start up.

    That's a bit of a problem, not sure what else to suggest. It usually asks you first if you want it to try and find a solution online.

    When you checked the windows error log, can you tell when you first encountered the problem with the panel.dll??

    If so can you identify what addons you've added since that date?

    BTW, if you have FSUIPC it can generate a log file of each time you load FSX from start to close. It's in your modules folder.
