• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

Problem creating child windows

AussieMan

SOH Staff .."Bartender"
Over the last couple of days I have started experiencing a problem in both FSX SE and P3D V3.4. When cycling through various panels in an aircraft I get the message "Unable to create child window". I am not sure what a child window is or what it does except occasionally cause the sim to CTD.

Any ideas to the cause and is there a way to fix it.
