Prepar3d V3 - Sim Minimizing When Loading Aircraft

Featured Replies

Hi all,

 

Recently I am having this problem where trying to load the PMDG 737NGX (only the 737 series has this problem for me - 777 is fine and does not have this issue), and regardless of the livery or airport that I chose, when selecting the PMDG 737NGX in the "Select Vehicle" menu on Prepar3d V3, and afterwards clicking OK in the bottom right, my simulator minimizes to the top left corner of  my monitor (see image below), and therefore loads all textures and the aircraft in that little window, and it takes forever for all of those textures to expand when I expand my window to my entire monitor, if that makes sense. If you have this issue or know a fix, please let me know.

 

I am using the latest version of v3 and the PMDG 737NGX. I've already tried reinstalling, and as it happens across multiple liveries, that isn't the problem.

Reinstalling the plane rarely ever fixes issues, so I'm really not sure why the sim community has a fixation on doing this.

 

What you're seeing is the sim loading window completely out of position. This would be an indication that it is more of a sim issue than an issue with our aircraft (we would see a lot more reports of this if it were the aircraft). Moreover, based on the lack of toolbar on your screen, I'm guessing you're using multiple monitors. Have you changed your monitor setup recently? Was that changed when you made a flight in the NGX? Think of any possible changes you made. Was the NGX loading "normally" before?

Confirming this also was the cause of the problems I was reporting in my own thread.  Setting PMDG=0 in the Migration Tool's CFG file stops this behavior and makes the sim resume normal operations.  THank you Roar.   This has been driving me insane for over a week now.
