The TFDI 717 CTD

Featured Replies

This is excellent news.  The cause has finally been solved, and those who swore and coursed at TFDI should perhaps take out their frustrations elsewhere.

"As of 12/12, Lockheed Martin have confirmed that this is indeed a bug in Prepar3D. They are now working on a fix and a workaround in the interim. Please keep an eye on this thread, and we will continue to update you here."

Thank you for the info!  A great plane becomes even greater.

Well, I don't know if I qualify for those who swore and coursed, but it has been my problem too.
Honestly, I find it a bit weird it turned out to be P3D's bug, as it NEVER happened to me with any other aircraft except for this one. Go figure...

I'm more excited about the news that P3D v4.5HF2 ain't dead. 😁

Woohoo! Very exciting. I had parked this plane, despite my love for it, because I had experienced the CTDs and didn't want to invest my time in a flight that may end in nothing. After all, I don't have all the time in the world and would like my flights to be A-to-B affairs, rather than  A-to-nothing affairs.

this would be nice to add to my hangar if fixed.  My biggest problems these days is flying so many different types.  I feel like the jack of all trades and master of none.  But if fixed, I would buy this plane.

What exactly changed following this announcement? It was communicated as a P3D issue long ago

Well it sounds like they might have found what the problem was, which means a fix is in the works, meaning that the CTDs with this aircraft might be cured forever.

To quote the source,

We have a fix. Lockheed Martin was able to confirm with us what it was (a texture format issue compounded by a bug in Prepar3D, it seems). We've done some internal testing over the last few weeks and it appears that it is solved. We are doing a final round of testing now, but we expect the fix to be public relatively soon.
