Kieran Hennighan 1375312 Posted August 11, 2017 at 09:35 PM Posted August 11, 2017 at 09:35 PM Hey, So today I shutdown my sim before logging off. Is this harmful towards the sim? Can it corrupt files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Shearman Jr Posted August 11, 2017 at 09:45 PM Posted August 11, 2017 at 09:45 PM Shouldn't be an issue. Once your Pilot Client stops getting position updates from your sim, it will stop reporting your position to the network and most likely disconnect you from VATSIM automatically (depends on which one, I guess). In any case, not harmful. Cheers, -R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Shearman Jr Posted August 11, 2017 at 11:11 PM Posted August 11, 2017 at 11:11 PM I mean, shutting down something improperly always has the potential to mess something up, but, no more or less because you're connected to VATSIM versus not connected to VATSIM. I know that's probably not a super helpful answer but I think maybe I'm not understanding the question. Cheers, -R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just worried it would cause file corruption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Savara 1369362 Posted August 12, 2017 at 02:37 PM Posted August 12, 2017 at 02:37 PM No it shouldn't be an issue. The pilot clients only report your position, through SimConnect or fsuipc. Neither interact directly with any files, even for traffic injection Senior Student (S3) Chicago ARTCC Events Coordinator Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
