Force disconnect.. does that affect me in any way?

Last night I flew from Miami to Pittsburgh, smooth flight, some great ATC (whoever was on Washington DC center did a great job with what I believe was a little kid).

 

After landing at KPIT and all that, I left the game.. or so I thought.

 

Anyways I had the game off, but apparently windows showed it as on.. I woke up to find I had messages from MIA 3 Center, and from the supervisor that I was on the ground and the code of conduct does not allow unintended connections.'

 

Just curious if it affects me in any way.. Didn't even know FSX was still connected (but doing the CTR ALT DEL showed it as on).

Not really, you can log back on any time. Just be careful in the future.

Next time I'm just going to make sure that vpilot is off lol. I was just shocked when I woke up to see it was flashing and that I had been contacted.. so odd that FSX jumped me back into miami after the flight...

I usually:

1: Log out (not just "close vpilot" because this will sometime only minimize it)

2: Fully shut down FSX/P3D. As in Ctrl+C, or even press that big red X in the top right corner, then press ok on the dialogue box to shut it down.

It isn't done till you're looking at the desktop again.
