Addon Aircraft Missing After Update

Recommended Posts

I finally got around to updating P3D v3 to V 3.49 and now none of my add-on aircraft are displayed with a "Failed to Initialize, visualization only" indication.  Can't seem to find a solution anywhere.  I tried deleting the C:/program data\ Lockheed Martin\P3Dv3 folder and let it rebuild. Still no addon aircraft.

 

Any thoughts/solutions would be appreciated.

Hello Rick,

 

May possibly be a corrupt VehicleFavorites.xml file,  Do you have this file ? This is were your Saved Favorite Aircraft go,   Locate this file and Move it out of the below location onto your Desktop,  Launch Prepar3D and test  

 

Location:  Local Disk (C:) ► Users ► you ► AppData ► Roaming ►Lockheed Martin ► Prepar3D v3   VehicleFavorites.xml

Hi Elaine

 

No, that didn't work !

 

FYI, I had already tried deleting the whole: Local Disk (C:) ► Users ► you ► AppData ► Roaming ►Lockheed Martin ► Prepar3D v3 file and let it rebuild, without success.

Have you checked the path in your simobjects.cfg folder?

What should the "Path" be ?    (My P3D is located on D:/, not C:/)

I think I figured this out....

My P3D v3.3 was installed in my D:\ drive.

When the P3D client did the upgrade, it apparently changed + updated the P3D file located in the C:\ drive and changed the path to open that file.  Since none of my addon aircraft were in that file, they weren't recognized. 

 

Freakin' weird !!!

So, I moved my addon aircraft over to C:\Lockheed Martin\ P3D, then changed the sim objects .cfg file path and now it's working.  

Looks like I'll have to merge the rest of my D:\ P3D files with C:\ P3D  (Orbx scenery etc.) and then delete the D:\P3D file.

Now I also understand why ORBX Direct was saying that none of my Orbx scenery was loaded.  That file was in D:\P3D, not in C:\P3D.

I think I'm going to have a look at X-Plane 11.  LOL
