A potential fix for P3Dv2 crash problems

P3D_v2_availableOne of the bugs reported by users of Lockheed-Martin‘s P3Dv2 is that, when pressing alt-tab to switch between windowed and full-screen modes, particularly with complex aircraft, the sim is prone to crash.

In this post on the A2A forums, discussing the use of their C172 Trainer in v2, Mike Krawczyk from the A2A team suggests a potential fix could be as simple as turning off an option in the Display settings: “Those experiencing crash on window resize, please disable “mipmap VC Panels” in P3D options.

Reports are that the change does indeed fix the crash, without a significant visual impact, so if you’re experiencing the problem, that might be worth trying?
