P3Dv4.3 doesn’t get past start up screen

Featured Replies

I have heard it happening to others but this is the first time I’ve had an issue like this. My P3D won’t load past the first screen before the home screen. I hadn’t cracked my sim open in about a week so there’s no way a corrupt file could have happened just sitting idle for seven days. I restarted my computer, but still the same. Any ideas? Also I know the question is coming but I am posting here and not on the P3D forums because I currently have two open tickets with them from last month that have still not been answered so I figured I’d get a faster response here. Thanks

Are you running any addons via the xml method?  If so, remove (do not delete) any folders in the Prepar3d Addons folder in your Documents and see if it starts.  If it does, add each one at a time back into the Addons folder until it refuses to start again.  You will now know which addon is causing the problem.

This topic is old, but occasionally I have the same problem with P3D v4.4.
And I found an easy solution.
It seems that the problem is caused by saving the default starting situation.

Open the Prepar3d.cfg file, localize the voice "situation" in the listing, and delete it.

Example:

[USERINTERFACE]
SHOW_SCENARIO_WINDOW=1
BroadcastGPSData=0
PAUSE_ON_LOST_FOCUS=1
PROMPT_ON_EXIT=1
RestoreTimeOnMove=1
ScreenshotImageFormat=2
ShowMessageText=True
SHOW_MISSION_CAPTIONS=1
Map_Orientation=2
SITUATION=C:\Users\myname\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Files\F22 Limc Airport
[DISPLAY.Device.NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960.0.0]
Mode=1920x1080x32

Delete all red list.

Now P3D starting regularly. :wink:

Thank you! My sim wouldn't start in 2days, but this did the trick. Again, thank you very much
