Default Condor 2

I bought Condor 2 and intended to run 3 monitors because it's how I've run sims with other well known programs with zero issues. The computer it's on is not one purchased at a retail store front outlet. It was purpose built and flew/flies X-plane just dandy with no problems whatsoever. Two bridged SLI GTX 750 TI OC with 4gb a piece, it really, really runs just fine.

Except with Condor 2.

In single monitor mode everything operates as it ought to.

In multiple monitor mode (3x70) it loads and runs the simulation fine but on exit it freezes and will not redraw the menu that is displayed immediately prior to simulation. Every file saves normally. The flight track, the pilot log, etc etc, a nauseum. Every freaking one of them saves fine.

Why do I make it a point to mention that?

Because the canned response I've gotten twice from Condor support is that it's a ransomware setting.

For the sake of avoiding a protracted effort to reach a conclusion, I turned off completely every ransomware setting there is. There is none. I posted a screen cap on the condor forum that even shows it and also posted the security and performance (Windows 10) logs that show it's crashing when it's closed the sim and is UNSUCCESSFULLY trying to redraw the menu.

support@condor is now unresponsive both in the forums and by email.

While it's a great product while it's running, when you're trying to do lessons it's not all that much fun to deal with this bug.
