May 22, 20215 yr Can anyone tell me why when i try and changed something in my aircraft.cfg and go to save it it pops up saying this. Access to C:\Program Files\ Lockheed Martin\Prepar3Dv4\Sim Objects\Airplanes\FeelThere ERJ135LRv2\Aircraft>cfg was denied... Thanks Edited May 22, 20215 yr by goodperson36
May 22, 20215 yr That would likely be because the "C:\Program Files" and "C:\Program Files (x86)" paths are privileged in Windows and require Admin rights for just about everything other than "Read". There would be a need to elevate the editing tool to "RunAs" admin, or login to Windows as an admin. Could also be Anti-Malware holding a lock on the file, or P3D itself if it is running in the background. The best option to avoid these sort of issues is to not install P3D to the "C:\Program Files" path.

Catch my vids on Oz Sim Pilot, catch my screen pics @ Screenshots and Prepar3D

Cheers R I appreciate the info.. it seems Feelthere puts out the ERJ for preparv4 and they blame the lights not working on the ERJ 145 on prepar or the end user instead of having a hot fix to fix the problems and thier lack of not helping on thier forum and being rude with no empathy but they gladly take your money and then leave you hanging to fix the issue yourself I call that lazy and shortsighted my last purchase from them...
May 23, 20215 yr Do you have the "aircraft lights illuminate runway" box checked in the P3D menu? If you turn on the lights and look at the acft in the exterior view from the front, do you see them light up? If not, something has probably replaced the default light textures in the sim. Unfortunately there are some third party add-on acft and/or scenery that does this without asking. The access problem may be solved by taking ownership of the Lockheed Martin folder (and all subfolders). But the "A" answer is to never install the sim or any add-ons in any folder whose name begines with "Program Files" Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case
