Restored .cfg now I have virtual cockpit problems

[Domobaby 1]

Hi all,

 

I deleted the p3d.cfg to let the sim rebuild a default one. 

 

When I load up my Aersoft Airbus after about 1 minute all the rotating knobs and button actions stop working. Clicking on the MCDU does not work. 

 

I have reinstalled the Airbus but this has not changed anything.

 

Any ideas?

Did you get any permission errors or dialogues when you restarted P3D? Wondering if a gauge didn't get loaded properly. Any chance you still have the old cfg in the recycle bin?

 

FWIW, I always just rename my p3d.cfg to p3d.cfg.old for just this reason.

I renamed the cfg I that got replaced.

 

I went back to my previous version (non default) and everything works fine. Something was obviously missing from it.

Compare the two files and see what is different.

Copy and Paste the Old and the New Prepar3D.cfg into this and it will show you the changes.

 

There are more advanced programs you can use but for a simple test this is ok
