Prepar3d disappears

Featured Replies

Hi,

I don't know if anyone could help or if anyone has come across the same issue. I go to open Prepar3d on my PC and the splash screen appears then after that, a screen should come up giving you the option to select your aircraft and starting airport etc. I don't get that screen. The splash screen disappears and nothing displays. I check my task manager and see that Prepar3d is still running in the task manager but not displaying. It doesn't show as running in the taskbar either. I've not changed anything in the sim either, it just randomly started occurring when I came to load P3D the other day.

Can anyone help me please?

I'm running latest P3D with all hotfixes, latest GPU driver and latest Windows 10 updates. 

Thanks,

Charlie

This happened to me when the default flight file got somehow corrupted.

It's been a while but if I recall correctly, I solved it by deleting the p3d.cfg file

I will suggest you to simply first reinstall fsuipc and check.

If above doesnot work, search on google and you will find another avsim thread by Elaine to step by step solve this.

Are you using the PMDG 747? It is not fully compatible with FSUIPC.

@willy647 Thanks for your reply - I've tried deleting the config and it doesn't work.

@qqwertzde I don't own the PMDG 747 so it's not installed for me.

@Prayog I'll try re-installing FSUIPC4, thanks.

I have this exact same problem! It just started one day out of the blue. I can't relate it to anything I installed. I tried reinstalling FSUIPC, but no change. The only thing that cures the problem is to disable Air Manager in the dll.xml file. Air Manager works fine in P3D v2, so I have been using that for the most part as I got used to having the guages on my iPad.

flightdynamics, do you run Air Manager?
