Hey there. I recently started using GSX for further immersion and enjoyment. However I am now figuring out how to get it to cooperate with FSX after landings without crashing the sim. As I troubleshoot that separately over successive flights (which is definitely a concern for this thread), I just noticed something about PF3. I am able to do my post-landing checklist and get permission from PF3 to taxi to terminal, and visual assistance from TGS Display shows up. If GSX causes my sim to crash as I attempt to select parking in GSX, etc., I force quit PF3. My hope has been that I could just re-run PF3 again and it would ask me if I wanted to resume my current flight (which works most of the time when I am in the air and the sim crashes for any reason). However I do not get such a suggestion from the PF3 application when I re-run it after force quitting it after receiving taxiing clearance.

Is PF3's ability to resume a forced quit flight plan in that program only limited to when the aircraft is in the air? I just tried two consecutive times in two different flights and couldn't get PF3 to ask me if I wanted to resume my "flight" so would still have PF3 guidance for taxiing to the gate. I tried tuning to the ground frequency after reloading my flight but PF3 wouldn't show any key commands for communicating with Ground in pf3_display. It seemed to expect me start all over with Clearance and so on.

I have attached a log, but I don't expect it to be any help because PF3 didn't have a problem in my last flight. I'm more curious if I can actually force quit PF3, run it again, and have it pick up from where I left off in regards to taxiing to gate after landings. Thank you in advance.

From the user guide...

PF3 only starts saving its own restart data after you receive initial vectoring
instructions from Departure Control and it stops at point of touchdown at your
destination airport. So restarting a flight on the ground is not available.
Our thought process was, once you're on the ground you're safe! ;)
