There could also be something else affecting your machine too.
The Sim puts a heavy load on your computer, but that load should never ever cause a reboot, blue screen, shutdown, overheating, etc.
At worst an bug in the sim should return you to the desktop.
Beyond that, look to PSU, Cooling, Power regulation and Memory issues in that order.
Rather that is usually the sum of the different rails, and is marginal to nominal for a 1080ti and other typical peripherals.
Even Nvidia's page says this:
"Minimum 600 W OR GREATER system power supply with one 6-pin and one 8-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors. "
600w is the low end of the scale...
Strange, without knowing the rest of your specs a 600W PSU should be decent enough. This game is a pretty large resource hog and is managing to push my CPU and GPU in a way I barely see in other titles. So I would assume power consumption would probably be higher than most. I asked for the brand since some manufacturers create/rebrand woeful PSU's. I don't know much about the Thermaltake offerings but depending on how you have it wired up, everything else connected to your PC etc etc it could be overloading one of the rails. When it shuts down are you hearing a click, that normally doesn't occur? If so it could be going into overload protection. Also some brands will source PSU's from different manufacturers so one Thermaltake PSU can be better/worse than another. Other companies generally make them and then Thermaltake/Corsair etc rebrand them.
Nothing should really damage your PC. Your CPU and GPU both have limits and will start down clocking when reaching thermal limits. If they can't control the thermal limit the PC will then shut off before damage can occur.
First if you've played a game previously with the joypad (say ETS2 or GTA V) then load up FS2020, the menus are all phasing between keyboard and joypad button commands to activate them.
I exited FS2020 a couple of evenings ago and loaded up XP11 to do a comparison flight, but found in XP the cockpit camera angled to the roof, flickering and juddering couldn't get it to move into place. I did a soft reboot (off the Start menu) and the problem persisted. I had to do a hard shut down and restart of the PC at which point XP11 worked correctly.
I have never experienced this previously with any other software title. Moral of story seems to be:
1. Run FS2020 off a clean boot of the PC, not following any other graphics intensive program.
2. If you want to close FS2020 and play something else, do a complete shut down and start of the PC.
I must be something with your hardware
And the funny thing is the cause nowadays is basically the same as it was all those hundreds of years ago - lack of knowledge and understanding.
Another way to put it is 'a little knowledge is a dangerous thing'
The number of times I have seen threads and posts about how a game destroyed a PC and not one time was there any evidence. Every time it was an issue with the PC or it's owner.
Some things never change :)
