### Simulator Version

X-Plane 12

### Operating System

Windows 11

### Description of the Issue

hello

I had simlink navigraph, it does not make sense to me right now to use it at the moment so decidet to uninstall it.  
now the is a splashsceen at the start of x-plane 12 that states:

"unable to automatically launch navigraph simlink at ‘C:,…’

please launch it manually"

for some reason x-plane now crashes after taxing on the runway.

please direct me to instructions to uninstall navigraph without a trace so that I can rule it out as a contributing factor to the crashes that wont let me fly for at least 1min.

greetings

Hi…,

Welcome.

Try downloading and installing [Simlink](https://navigraph.com/downloads), then uninstall Simlink using Windows.

Cheers
