March 10, 20206 yr After a P3D failure, having problems loading previously problem free P3D V4 Current situation. On loading via admninistrator, get opening PREPAR3D screen followed by building database for new scenery files etc (quite short loading time?) .Get Prepar3d screen start up No aircraft shown in aircrat window and map scenery window not populated. Normally see aircraft and map details of loaded default file.e.g eggp. Shortly afterwards P3D CTD The normal long winded loading of files on start up does not happen? Tried various 'fixes' as recommended on the AVSIM forum including removing add-ons etc. P3D V4 uninstalled and re-installed a number of times including installing on a different HD. Registry cleaned and graphic driver updated. Tried loading P3D modules separately but issue remains. Now out of ideas!!
March 10, 20206 yr Try deleting the P3D shaders at C:\Users\your user name\AppData\Local\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\Shaders Edited March 10, 20206 yr by Reader
March 10, 20206 yr Author Thanks Reader, already tried that and still CTD after startup scenery. Get the impression not loading the default scenery data!
March 10, 20206 yr Have you tried deleting the scenery.cfg file and using the default one that P3D will create the next time it runs? Also, do you have any in the add-ons.cfg, you might do the same with that?
March 10, 20206 yr Worth giving this a shot if you have not done so: Navigate to your main P3D folder and find this file 'Delete Generated Files' Double click that and let it run, then fire up P3D, it will ask you to verify each installed file as it loads it and you can usually find an offending file by doing that since when you authorise something and then it subsequently prevents loading P3d, you have your culprit. Whilst you are at it, go to here: https://www.lorby-si.com/downloads.html Then get hold of the (free) 'Lorby Prepar3D V4 Addon Organizer', which is also useful for enabling and disabling stuff which might be problematic. If you find that helps, consider throwing Lorby a few quid by purchasing one of his products, as it was very generous of him to make that utility available for free.

March 10, 20206 yr Author Hi Chock my scenery and terrain files were disabled which I had suspected was the problem. Once enabled P3D loaded as before.. Many thanks. Jim
