NORM;
All seems fine this morning! Cigar Box functioned just "Like the Good Ole Days".
Below is a clarification of the symptoms I HAD. But no longer experience.
Cigar Box "stalls" after "Start Flight" Button is toggled. The flight and airplane load fine. I then set up flight in FSX and toggle the "Start Flight" button and nothing changes. Cigar Box seems to stop working, I cannot minimize it nor close it out. It behaves as if it is hung up as it tries to begin recording the flight. On a couple of these attempts I have seen some of the flight data appear (flash) in the trip report column, but it disappears instantly. There is never an opportunity to stop the flight nor file a PIREP for the flight as it is never recorded and I cannot end the flight as the Start Flight button is "highlighted." Cigar Box is inoperable. After the flight I cannot close out Cigar Box and I am forced to do a hard close of it when shutting down my computer. I have updated "Littlenavmap" and Navigraph "Sim Link" (another Navigraph Sim Link update is asking to install but I have not yet done that), and loaded some RTMM sceneries. Other than that I have made no changes to my computer or any programs in the last two weeks.
All is well now, Thanks for all of your assistance.
