Hi,

check the paths in your scenery library if one of them points at an empty folder. P3D V4.3 has developed the habit to "hang" when that is the case.

If you have many scenery addons, I suggest using an addon management tool that will point out empty/broken scenery paths. 

Best regards

A question regarding this; is it sufficient to merely deactivate the offending scenery library entry, or should it be removed completely from scenery.cfg?

The reason I ask is I like to keep a few "dummy" library entries for testing purposes, particularly for when I edit AFCADs or have to figure out layering to resolve a conflict (i.e. world, above ORBX but below everything else, on top, etc.)  Mostly for convenience, as it's easier to be able to just drop files into the respective folders and activate the appropriate Scenery Library entry.  I don't ever leave them active, but I do occasionally get a CTD after closing the Scenery Library in P3D.  Either those are causing the problem despite being inactive, or it's the one other empty entry that I know of that until now I hadn't deactivated due to ignorance of the potential consequence.

I think so, yes. The "hang" seems to happen when the sim is building the scenery cache, so a disabled scenery shouldn't interfere.

Best regards

Hi,

the freeware Lorby AddonOrganizer will point out broken or invalid scenery (or other addon) paths. That may save a bit of headache.

Please note that this is a new behavior of the platform, that was not present in previous versions.

Best regards

Lorby_SI your product is wonderful. Been using it for a year. Thank you.
