Take the error message. Load it into Google search. Follow the instructions in the topics you find.

 

You could have solved this immediately if you used the search function in the forum.

On the smartassembky error, I once had it occure when UT2 first came out, albeit it was FSX. After doing a trouble shooting phone call with a fellow from Flag Mountain which was the architect of UT2, it turned out that I didn't have the correct version of Simconnect installed. Once that was installed I hadn't had a problem since.

 

So having said that, have you installed all three versions of Simconnect that come with P3D? Not sure that will fix it, but it shouldn't harm anything either.

That would certainly be a good place to start.

How do you install the simconnect where is it thanks.

I installed the sdk that came with p3d v3 the version is 3.0.10.14945 does that not have all 3 versions thanks.

You will see these folders click them then retail/lib/SimConnectInstaller

Id just install all 4

 

 

ESPv1

FSX-RTM

FSX-SP1

FSX-SP2-XPACK

Did that still exactly the same what else could it be thanks.

ok i think the other errors have gone but i am getting this error now Program Error Error loading default UT2 or FSX settings. The 'Launch.Addon' start tag on line 7 does not match the end tag 'SimBase.Document'. Line 15, postion 3. what on earth does that mean thanks.

There's actually a lot of discussion regarding this error in the CTD subforum. Here's what Jim Young suggests:

I'd first look to see what versions of .NET are installed. UT2 is pretty old and no longer supported. And it was never supported in any version of P3d to my knowledge. It requires one of the earlier versions of .NET(Microsoft .NET 3.5 Service Pack 1). Here's how to check on what versions of the .NET framework are installed on your computer:

The registry key locations vary from one version of Windows to the other, but for example, I have .NET 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 4.5 and 4.6 installed.

i have net framework 4.5.2 according o that do i need to update.

I installed 4.6 didn't do anything still get the same error.

If an app needs .NET 3.5 SP1, any of the 4.x versions will not help with this error. Only the minor revisions like 4.5, 4.6, etc., would be backwards compatible only to 4.0 but not to any 3.x, 2.x and 1.x versions.

Sorted it now thanks deleted the exe.xml.
