December 3, 20187 yr What am I missing? I did a complete re-install of windows 10 and cleaned my PC I downloaded and installed P3D V4.4 Downloaded PMDG 737 & 777 Installed both aircraft I can open P3D with any aircraft, however when I try to open either PMDG aircraft from the start or after loading another default aircraft I get a black screen and P3D not responding. I have uninstalled and re-installed P3D and the PMDG aircraft (using admin) I have completed the updates from the Operations Centre (using admin) I have deleted the dll.xml file and let it create a new one. The only problem I cannot resolve is that the only SDK that will not install is SP1 it keeps coming up with an error and not installing, it shows a token number or something. I have all the other SDKs installed. This is a complete fresh install of P3D on a fresh PC after a full restore... What am I missing? Any help appreciated David Campbell
December 3, 20187 yr How long have you been waiting before you stopped it? I did a complete reinstall yesterday for 4.4 and had that black screen too for 30-40 seconds during the first loading but then it worked. ,
December 3, 20187 yr When you installed your PMDG aircraft did you receive any errors,did it say installation successful? Zdenek Cebis
December 3, 20187 yr Author Thanks for the replies I have left the screen for about 5 minutes on a few occasions. I did note that the not responding disappeared from the title bar but it reappeared. No I did not get any errors whilst installing the aircraft at any time all installations were successful. I do appreciate the help. David Campbell
December 3, 20187 yr Author Sorry another issue which I now suspect may be causing the problem. P3D is on a separate drive (drive D:) However the dll.xml file was placed in programdata..... on the C drive I changed the paths to full paths to the PMDG dll files within dll.xml but alas this has had no effect. Might this be the problem? David Campbell

I suggest to open a support ticket to check some logs which can be don only through support ticket. Chris Makris PLEASE NOTE PMDG HAS DEPARTED AVSIM You can find us at http://forum.pmdg.com
December 7, 20187 yr Author This has been resolved NOT a PMDG issue. I used the Windows 10 reset feature to REMOVE ALL FILES FROM ALL DRIVES. The simconnect.cfg remained from an old installation within the documents folder which messed up simconnect, - thanks microsoft But most importantly thanks to PMDG staff who worked with me until the matter was resolved. Thanks Davy C
