Hello @FloKebe

could you please tell me how i can minimize the mission step window?

I tried to press the 3 buttons from the screenshot - minimize, maximize and i also closed the window. Nothing works.

How do you fix the issue?
Is there any setting in control-configuration ?

Would help me a lot, thank you, Christian

When the screen is black with mission steps shown and the game is frozen, close or minimize missikn steps and restart the sim. Clicking the pop out window button when the sim is running as in your sxreenshot is what causes the issue.
