Problem Saving a Scenario in P3Dv3

Featured Replies

Just wondering if anyone has had any problems saving a scenario in v3 ? If I'm on the Scenario screen and changing to a different AC , scenery , time of day etc and hit the Save button I immediately get kicked to the desktop . This also happens if I hit the ; key . I'm running Win10 64bit , GTX 770 4gb(latest drivers) . What I've tried : reduced OC 4.2 to 4.0 as suggested somewhere here at AvSim . Ran sfc /scannow to check for any system errors or problems(none found) . Checked Event Viewer and there were ntdll errors at times and a few other times some Win10 errors . If I remember I experienced this in a few previous P3D versions and maybe even FSX . Currently have FSX SE and P3Dv3 installed . Also non-pay version of FSUIPC .


Just wondering if anyone has tried something I haven't ?


 


Bottom Line : Love v3 and it is a real improvement . I can live with this unable to save a scenario problem because it really doesn't take that long to load up a new one . Everything else is running smoothly . The only scenery loaded is ORBX's FTX Global , Vector . England , Open LC NA Alaska/Canada and PNW , Pacific Fjords . I've been to LM's support forum without a lot of results . Beginning to think it might be a Win 10 little glitch .

Consider this solved and I'll try to make a long story shorter . I actually created this Menu problem myself . After trying everything I could think of I remembered I had placed an entry in my simobjects.cfg file for my AI traffic program(My Traffic) as documented by its developer and supported by many on various flightsim sites . It works well in P3Dv3 . I also added an additional entry for a folder I had made containing AI aircraft I use with the freeware AI program AIFP . I did this to avoid placing all of them in the SimObjects/Airplanes folder in P3Dv3 . Apparently P3Dv3 didn't like the folder I made because every time I tried to save or load a Scenario from the P3Dv3 menu I would get a CTD . I took this entry I had made for my various AI aircraft I use out of the simobjects.cfg file and low and behold I can now Save and Load scenarios in P3Dv3 again . Word of caution : if you make additions to some of the P3Dv3 cfg files , make sure you follow the format they are written to the letter or you will get the CTD's . Bottom line : Back in business and really enjoying P3Dv3 , a leap ahead in improvements IMO .

Glad you got the problem figured out and you are back to enjoying P3D!
