**Crash/Reset from Vulkan to OpenGL issue**

It's possible that your X-Plane crashes and won't restart anymore or will start from Vulkan to OpenGL. In this case the problem will be a plugin or in some cases it's the Saitek driver. Most often this will happen when Microsoft updated the Windows-System. 

**In case of a Saitek Driver**

This is the easiest way to return to normal. Just re-install de Saitek FIP and panel drivers. If this will work you're good to go. Use these drivers for Windows:

{{ :xplane_plugin_x64_software_.exe |}}\\
{{ :flight_instrument_panel_x64_drivers_8.0.150.0_1_.exe |}}

**In case of plugins**

If for some reason a plugin has been updated, is incompatible or currupted, jou need to either:

  - Remove all plugins to a tempory folder and put them back one by one until you find the crashing one;
  - or remove the plugin's one by one until X-Plane starts normally again.
