[RESOLVED] When using Future Pinball Tables Pinball X loads a 2nd table behind it?

[eswift88]

For some reason only now that I have added a 2nd emulator "Future Pinball" after I load any FP table, Pinball X seems to stay active and while hitting my normal cabinet buttons playing the FP table pinball X loads up a second table...  I doesn't do this if I load up a Virtual Pinball table?

I've tried disabling all fancy PINBALL X browsing features and loaded the newest version of PINBALL X which hasn't yet fixed it

Please attach copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files (no copy and paste) right after you encounter the error with  Future Pinball for review.

Your launch parameters for FP are missing the /STAYINRAM flag.

Try changing to;

/open "[TABLEPATH]\[TABLEFILE]" /play /exit /arcaderender /STAYINRAM

If that doesn't do it then it's probably linked to a 'run as admin' setting on something, but try amending the launch parameters first

My man Scutters, I owe you a pint!  

ADDING  /STAYINRAM    did the trick, it stopped the flicker from loading, back to pinball x table select,  and then back to FP table loading screen. which I guess enabled pinball x to select a 2nd table behind the scenes
