Hey!
I've up to a few days ago always used for my flights flightplans made with FSNav. Works fine and the according map is fantastic!
I now tried for the first time converting such a flightplan to FS2004 flightpaln and had a strange result...
When I landed and I left the runway I had to ask ATC where to taxi, and stopped for a while near and off the runway, and after having received instructions to taxi, my aircraft did not start anymore to run when I augmented the engine to start taxiing.
I tried it twice, and even the second time I could not move the aircraft, it just did not want to run because the engine seemed to be blocked...
Strage! I never experienced such a thing with FSNav-flijghtplans. Why could that have happen with a FS2004 type flightplan? Or must I look for reason why in another technical error?

This has to be the oddest post I have seen so far. The only thing I can think of is that FSNAV is somehow controlling FS, which is odd to say the least.
The fact that you came to a stop could be what caused the issue it thinks you are at the gate and the flight has ended. This is the only thing that makes sense,Though it does not make any sense at all. But it could be the reason. I would suggest that you check with the makers of FSNAV to see if this is the case and if there is a work around.
The only thing I can tell you is do not come to a stop any where except at the gate or where you want to park the aircraft.

I have FSMAP which can make flight plans and have never had this problem but I have never used FSNAV
My bet is the fact that you came to a stop is what caused the engines to shut down But I have never heard of any flight planner doing that. I have no idea as to how FSNAV can shut down the engines in any aircraft that is the part that has me baffled,

Good-old FS Navigator!....(Saved on a CD, together with my Registration details!).... ...!

I still use mine in my FS 2004 flights!

I have heard the case against FSNavigator controlling aircraft withing FS2004 and find the evidence wanting. As such, I find FSNavigator innocent of all charges against it and this case is dismissed.
My verdict comes after having many years of experience, past and present, with the accused and can vouch 100% for "him". He has even kept me from making the mistake of moving on to "newer" versions of software being used .
Here comes the judge! ..... and he has ruled!
