PTA 2.62 Issue with P3D V4.3

[tazz 16]

Every time I try to apply a preset I get a bunch of errors. I've got a fresh 2.62 extracted it to my desktop. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the P3D V4.3 client multiple times, no matter what I do these errors come up and no tweaks are applied. Appreciate any help.

I have the exact same problem, have uninstalled client, reinstalled multiple times.

Install fresh copy of PTA 2.62, go to install a new preset, and end up with multiple errors exactly the same as yours, in red.

Try to clear preset and and restore original shaders, and get multiple errors again.

 I’m at a complete loss, is there some other data we have to clear?

Fixed, run PTA, as admin

Definitely permission related. Just run PTA elevated (as administrator) and it should fix it.

Run as administrator ... that was the simple cure for me! Thanks!

I get flashing ground textures... very interesting.
