Hey ya'll

Got Windows 8 64 bit on my new desktop and am having an annoying issue...every time I hit ESC to end a flight in FSX the sim crashes to desktop. Had some issues with this in the past on Vista, XP, and 7. All previous times I solved it with some minor fiddling....have no idea what I did then

Any ideas?

I'm just guessing, but if it's happening when you hit the escape key, something else may also be mapped to that key.

Especially if you're using something like FSUIPC.

And don't forget that a lot of keyboards can be remapped too. Accidents can happen.

Un-associate the ESC key with the "End Flight" command, and re-assign it to an unused key or button. I'd be very suppressed if that didn't fix it.
