How to exit program to the desktop?


Recommended Posts

Al l have to do is go to the welcome screen and click "Exit to Desktop" Might say "Quit to Desktop", don't have the sim running right now.

 

Should be bottom left of the screen.

You can either click it, or press “Escape” key

 

I run the sim in windowed mode.. & often just press the X at the top right.

Yes, but if you go through ESC, you have to wait (and wait) until the sim reloads the Home screen.

 

As for Windowed mode, you have a choice. Just like in FSX, P3D, you hit ALT + Enter and you toggle back and forth. So you can go to Windowed mode when you want to quit, and then hit the X.

Alt + F4 will force it to quit, however, any progress you've made (flight time, landings) will not be recorded.

During the game, hold down the Windows key and press tab - Bingo - you can now use your browser or PC without having to exit the game.
