Prepar3D V5 Won't Open

Featured Replies

Hello everyone, after a while of saving money from my scholarship, i decided to buy a new add-on for my sims, I saw Sim Skunk Works' products and they impressed me a lot! But instead of choosing one of them (cuz my money was not enough for both), i got an idea, i saw they released some of their products for free for P3Dv5, so i thought if i buy v5 i can use both of their aircraft. I am already able to run P3Dv4.5 on my computer flawlessly with several add-ons and my computer is enough for the minimums of v5, i checked before buying it. But everytime when i try to run v5, it stuck like in the screenshot that i attached below. I tried every solution suggested on the net but still the same... So i paid for nothing? :((

Welcome to Avsim!

Perhaps your P3D v5 isn't loading for you because the new SSW add-ons need to be accepted, but the warning window is hidden behind the splash screen?

Thanks first! 

 

Gonna watch the video, but SSW products can't be the problem because i haven't installed them yet.

And in the Textures download page of SSW products, they say they are for v5 only so they won't work on v4 properly right?

Is this a native install of P3Dv5 with no addons installed?

Yes, just installed the set up, but even can't load the sim so i couldn't get the activation page yet...

System specifications, including OS?

Jorgen

Windows 10 (just three days ago, i installed latest OS update)

Processor Intel Core i5 

8GB Ram, 4GB AMD Graphics card (but it says 2GB VRAM and 2GB Shared memory, i didn't understand what does it mean) 

With those specs i can run v4.5 without any problems. Processor and graphics card are original components, i changed my RAM from 4GB to 8 by myself.

LM system requirements are 4Gb VRAM for v5. I suspect your card does not meet that requirement.

P3Dv5 is a more demanding flight simulator, therefore it requires 4 GB VRAM. You only have 2 GB of dedicated VRAM (fine for P3D v4 purposes, but not v5).

I suggest you go here as quickly as possible, before your window of opportunity for a refund runs out:
