[P3DV3.4] PMDG Black Screens and Nonfunctional VC

Featured Replies

Good evening everybody !

I'm pretty sad to go to this forum but that's how it goes... I've already posted on this forum about this issue but nobody could help so.

I'm going to explain you in few words. I've got every aircraft that I bought working so far, except PMDG 737 and 777 that I had on FSX (and really loved) and loved. I'm having this really annoying issue with those PMDG on my P3D V3.4 of black gauges and nonfunctionnal virtual cockpit ! However I got the landing gear out and the engines doe make sound but do not run on the screen ! I installed it with administrator rights, got simconnects installed, on a fresh installation of P3D, and it didn't work ! All my drivers are up to date and I've been scanning for any error with CCleaner ! Anybody can help ?

Thanks a lot !

Are you trying to run FSX products on an P3D installation?

PMDG aircraft for FSX and P3D are separate products.

Best place for help on this problem might be directly from PMDG (this is a user-to-user forum) here: http://support.precisionmanuals.com

I actually went on the website of course, that was my first guess but they couldn't even help me ! They told me to reinstall P3D, I did, to redownload PMDGs, I did and nothing worked...

No don't worry I'm actually using the P3D V3-4 product ! I tried installing it on P3D V4 and it worked but I'm having too low FPS (10-15) and on P3D V3 I'm doing better so... I guess it's P3D V3's problem...

They told you to reinstall P3D????? Wow..., I've never heard of a case where this was recommended by PMDG. Interesting.  Your best bet is PMDG Product Support, if they can't help you that would be a rarity.  Usually they only run into problems that are difficult to resolve when the person they are trying to help fails to follow their recommendations.

What was your ticket number?

I actually folllowed all their recommendations and that's the problem ! I even reinstalled like 5 times Windows 10 just to say how I want those PMDGs to work ! I know its worth every cent I paid for but if I can't get it to work properly it's pretty sad...

Do you have it installed on P3D V3 and V4 at the same time?

Thanks GB for answering ! I did for few days because I wanted to try but, right now it doesn't work on V3. I had V4 and V3 PMDG installed at the same time but I don't anymore. I may try to see the differences in the dll.xml and the exe.xml to see if there is nothing missing because it's really annoying not to fly the beautiful 737 and 777 from PMDG...

That might of stuffed things up. Last I heard a single license entitles you to only one active install .
So to get from V3 to V4 I assume you have to go through the V3 unauthorize/uninstall process then install/authorize into V4 and visa versa.

There's actually nothing stopping you from having it installed in both V3 and V4. In fact, the installer gives you that option when you run it.

Ok, thanks for the correction there.
Apologies to Advena.
