Opening GIT why don't I see a window? If I click on the short cut it says it's already running but I don't see the window to alter any settings. Why not?

    It could be a few things. Are you running the flight sim in full screen mode? If so press ALT + ENTER together to get it into a window. It may also be running minimised in the notification area. Also minimise flight sim to max sure its not sat behind it.

    No I am running in windows mode, and I check to make sure it's not hidden. Sometimes it does open, but most often it does not open. I just don't know why.

    Is it when you start GIT for the first time or when you try to restore it from the notification bar?

    It may be worth deleting your settings directory at C:\Users\Your Username\AppData\Local\PollyPot_Software

    It happens when I first try and open it after starting the sim on boot up, after opening GIT it does not appear, If I try again a pop up says it's already running. If I then open the task manager it will show two versions running, so I close both and then try again. It makes no difference If I start it from a desktop short cut an icon in the task bar or from the icon in the start menu. I'll go and try what you suggest deleting those settings.

    Just deleted the settings, it made no difference I still can't get it to boot up properly.

    Have you checked whether its starting minimised in the notification area of the taskbar?

    I am managing to get the window to open now in both MSFS and Prepar3Dv5 but in Prepar3Dv5 the SimConnect light is on yellow. I've tried doing a new install but it remains yellow after clicking on the MCPPRO tab, selecting Device 0 then enabling it and finally clicking on DefaultFS. Then when I click on the status tab it still shows Yellow on the SimConnect light no writing the box is totally empty. How do I get it to work?

    Are you using the correct version of GIT for P3Dv5? If so, post your log for me to look at.
