Well, I'm gonna go with what LM says to do which is, to quote them: A full install of all components is recommended for this update.

You know the guys in this forumn wont do a nice clean install they will just do a quick job instead and end up with issues. 

your wasting your breath Alan.

Bummer...FSXWW was seen and picked up by v5.24.   I'll have to see, if I get a CTD when winds are injected.  That was the case with the RTM.

Yeah it seems that upper winds are just using surface winds but arent variable all over the place. I wasnt sure if there were two different issues?

I had a crash. I chaged parameters in Options->World and pressed ok. THen --> CTD.

Crash happened in q2d.dll in V5 folder

This bug is not fixed also:

And, I have 19 fps at LOWI where I had 35 with the initial V5 installation, same settings.

 

Guys, I'm done with Vf5  for the moment. I'd rather wait for the next HF.

Yes, that seems to be the case!

An empty AddOn.Description crashes P3D V5 HF1. Many thanks to @fennelda and @anzac1977 for the pointers.

When you remove the tag entirely, or when you add an actual description, the simulator loads fine.
<AddOn.Description>Any Text In here makes P3D load</AddOn.Description>

Unfortunately this situation can't be handled with P4AO currently. I am working on a new version that allows changing the package description after the fact. And that will alert you to the issue in the first place...

Best regards

 

Really good spot guys, this was indeed my problem so it seems.

full installation or a quick down and dirty reninstall of content etc etc ?

[MarkW 1,492]

My sim will not start now.....CTD.

My process was to uninstall Scenery, then Content, then Client.  Then new install and registration.  Load up the sim and splash screen opens but then disappears.  I know Lorby had this problem but what is the fix?

OK did this and looks like its working now.  

I emptied my Documents\Prepar3d V5 Add Ons folder and it worked again. Now adding add ons one by one.

Hello @ll,

new version 1.54 of the P3D Addon Organizer is available for download.

• Packages that don't have a description now appear in violet color on the "Packages" tab. Right-click, "Edit", supply a description text, "Submit", "Save".

Please be mindful that this version is even hotter than the hotfix itself. Remember to create backups, and please let me know if things go sideways.

btw: to help with the constant virus warnings, the installer has been scanned with Norton Security Premium, and then added to an encrypted ZIP file. Password is "lorby".

Best regards

Full installation:

1. Uninstalled V5

2. Deleted every single V5 folder

3 Installed V5 

4. Fired it up-> ok

5. Put in what I had in in the initial V5 installation.

6. Fired it up -> ok.

7. Changed settings in options world --> crash

8. Fired it up -> ok, but less fps

An add-on.xml is missing a description. It looks like this in the add-on.xml: <AddOn.Description/> (note the slash)

Either remove the <AddOn.Description/> tag entirely

or

supply a description instead
<AddOn.Description>Any Text In here makes P3D load</AddOn.Description>

Be mindful that the XML tags are case sensitive.

Best regards
