It was @okupton who confirmed the old one. Perhaps he could double-check. I'm told it's still the old one in v6 which is bizarre. And it still piddles me off that Old Trafford (MUFC) has been in the sim since FSX days but no other famous stadiums like Anfield, Emirates (Arsenal), Man City (Etihad) or more recently, Spurs. ☹️

Has this problem started suddenly or been happening for a while? I'd start by lowering your settings. Have a read of this topic. https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/634984-prepar3d-ntdll-crash/ Don't run Delete Generated Files. That's the nuclear option.

Then you should contact the makers. No one here has that throttle to help you.

I can now reveal that Chris brought me his single pre-production model and I’ve been using it for the last couple of months. I fly a single engine PC12, twin-engine Vertx DA-62, Xtreme Prototypes Lear 25, PMDG737 and finally, Concorde. What a difference a quality TQ makes. Friction can be adjusted so you get just the right amount for you. The size mirrors that of two Saitek / Logitech TQs so the footprint is very small. Considerably smaller than another I could mention which is important if space is at a premium. It’s so easy to make small adjustments to power because of the Hall-Effect sensors. So different to the pots on the Saitek which eventually wear causing spiking. The switches are robust with a very positive action. I couldn’t be happier. Patience will be rewarded and you’ll love it. It exudes quality which is standard for Chris.

@level7, I can’t ever remember that tip.

London’s tallest building shaped like a shard of glass. Hence the name.

I’ve discovered the cause of this problem. I didn’t mention it at the time because it didn’t seem relevant. I looked at the size of my pagefile and Windows had set the max size way beyond the size it had ever reached. So I changed it from “Let Windows decide “ to a fixed size. It was after doing this the problem started but I put that down to a new version of Firefox. Having thought about what I had changed I decided to revert to the original pagefile setting. Since then the problem has not reoccurred. Lesson? Don’t mess with Windows! 🤣

You didn’t confirm if it shows in Devices and Printers. If it does then try the relevant tutorial here. https://www.flightsimpm.com/tutorials If that doesn’t help contact the company here. https://www.flightsimpm.com/contact-us

Sean, that’s good to hear. You’ll need to review your settings but before that I would just stick with what you have for a few flights and ensure the problem is fixed. 👍

Nothing jumps out there Sean. Can you locate Prepar3d.cfg and rename it. Then launch P3D and when the Scenario screen is presented hit OK. Does the sim load without issue?

@Sean H. Press Windows + R key. Popup window will appear. Type msinfo32 and hit Enter. Look for pagefile size and report back.

That seems odd when v5 had the whole world’s coastlines refined. Plus the Shard didn’t exist in FSX.

Does The Shard? Or Buckingham Palace? Or the Tower of London? I don’t imagine those do either but they’re faithfully reproduced.

Thanks Fouad. This is an utter shambles from Lockheed-Martin. The new stadium was opened in March 2007. v5 of P3D was released on 14 April 2020. That’s over 13 years for LM to update the scenery. Why did they not update one of the biggest cities in the world?

That’s the downside and why I haven’t taken the plunge. 😟
