  • @whisky , v5.0? Really? The latest is v5.4. Suggest you update. The filename is prepar3d.cfg located here C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5

  • Ooops. Thanks for the correction. Dave

There have been several posts about this in the past, all have closed comments so can't see what solutions were offered.

I have re-downloaded and installed, still same result.

Yes, same problem. The only planes I can use are PMDG.

Even MJC Dash 8 having problems.

The only Carenado aircraft I have is the single engine PC-12. That’s fine. Do you have that one?

No, I have the Saab 340, Cessna Titan 404 and a few others and a couple of Alabao.

I put a specific question into google for the Saab 340. This was the suggestion.

Thanks Ray,

Let's start with the Carenado Saab 340.

Honeycomb yoke and throttle. I only use throttle, flaps and speed brake, not the panel switches or autopilot.

@whisky , I can’t assist as I don’t have that aircraft. But i would have thought to get engines running you would need to operate some switches. Fuel flow being an obvious one.

Ray,

On further investigation I have found that the same is occurring on all aircraft (inc Pre3 defaults) so the problem is clearly PRP3D based.

I have also run Fortect file management system, showing no fault.

You can repair an installation of P3D. I suggest Content.

Component Repair via Windows Settings

  • Open Windows Settings and select Apps.

  • Scroll down to your specific P3D component (such as the Client, Content, or Scenery).

  • Click Modify/Uninstall and choose the Repair option if available.

Sometimes P3D can develop weird issues related to the fuel valves.

The fix is to start the sim with a stock aircraft and use Ctrl+E to start it up. Then save this scenario as the default scenario.

Client doesn't offer repair option. I thought I read somewhere that Client can be deleted and re-installed. Just a weird thought.

The plot thickens. Tried CTRL E on the Alabao 404. Mixture lever moves to full rich, then as engine starts, mixture goes to cutoff.

Also weird that PMDG planes are the only ones I can fly.
