Not until I see all the errors/problems disappear that people are reporting on the Forums about v3 will I think about upgrading, besides, I'm quite happy with v2.5 and all my UK photoscenery installed.

Hello, Using P3D v2.5 and flying GA military ( Just Flights Mosquito ) from FRANCEVFR scenery towards Jersey EGJJ and whenever I get around 10 Km from airport ( any direction) I suffer an instant CTD with the following Event Viewer report:- Log Name: System Source: Microsoft-Windows-DistributedCOM Date: 16-Aug-16 4:23:51 PM Event ID: 10010 Task Category: None Level: Error Keywords: Classic User: NIGEL-PC\Nigel Computer: Nigel-PC Description: The server {BA3D0120-E617-4F66-ADCA-585CC2FB86DB} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.

Nigel Just had the following pop up in my AppCrashView:- Process File : Prepar3D.exe Event Name : Stopped working Event Time : 16-Aug-16 4:23:03 PM User Name : All Users Exception Code : 0xc0000005 Exception Offset : 0x00095dc6 Fault Module Name : g3d.dll Fault Module Version: 2.5.12946.0 Process Path : C:\Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2\Prepar3D.exe Report File Size : 33,096 Report File Path : C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportArchive\AppCrash_Prepar3D.exe_2883aa2426a02173f27afb24f8127e60c9746ab_7f746d5a_0014b16c\Report.wer I was under the impression this was a FSX problem and not P3D?

I quite agree with you Kevin, by the way, is your Jersey Photoscenery still being developed or is it now available?Just caught your U-Tube video by accident when surfing and I'm well impressed with what you've done. I have the UK2000 Xtreme airport but on default scenery the island leaves a lot to be desired! Nigel

As an ex-Engineer myself I forgot the old maxim "If you can't fix it, read the manual". I forgot about adding the additional autogen definitions to each scenery folder. Once I'd done that the trees appeared in all their glory within the FRANCEVFR areas. Resolved. Thanks Kevin

Hi Kevin Managed to install the AutogenConfigurationMerger Tool but it hasn't made any difference to my FRANCEVFR scenery! I still have no trees showing in Normandie Upper and Lower and also Bretagne. I've checked the log in the ScenerDesign folder and it shows everything loaded from my Scenery Library with no errors but I've noticed that I have no backups of the original autogendescription files there, so I'll contact Arno for advice. Nigel

Thanks Kevin, you're a gent! I knew there was an answer out there somewhere. I thought I had a Win 10 problem at first because I did'nt seem to have this problem prior to updating to Win 10 so I'll give Arno's Merger Tool a trial and let you know the results.

Just to clarify the above post: I have FRANCEVFR scenery's for Calais, Picardie, Upper and Lower Normandy and Bretagne but when ever I fly to any of these areas one or two areas will not show any trees unless I exchange the AutoDescription, Materials and RoofDescriptions.spbs with the EarthSimulations items within the Autogen folder. I have all the other autogen appearing such as buildings, pylons etc but no trees, if I return back to the UK I get a CTD within 10km of the coastline. Only had this problem since upgrading to Win 10

Hi I'm using P3D v2.5 and since I've updated to Win 10 64bit and flew across to France I found that the trees and veg do not appear, buildings, pylons, towers etc appear but no veg. I fly GA and the UK is fine but found a post in one of the forums that suggested loading FRANCEVFR sceneries with the French option and not the English. I did that and re-installed Upper and Lower Normandie plus Bretagne and everything is fine, veg is back. My question is: What Autogen Description files do I use in the Autogen folder? Each FRANCEVFR scenery comes with its own Description/Autogen files, such as:- Upper Normandie AutogenDescriptions.spd Materials.spd RoofDescriptions.spd 365KB 50KB 102KB Lower Normandie 435KB 51KB 117KB Bretagne Vol 1 370KB 51KB 106KB I'm presently using EearthSimulations Autogen files which are:- 976KB 53KB 125KB Do keep these in my Autogen folder or use one of the FRANCEVFR ones?

And how do I do that, captain bligh? when I cannot log in to the forum site as it prevaricates with pages turning to French on me and refuses to let me log on or register!! "Bon de sang merde!!"

I don't have Global and or EUlandclass installed just the UK VFR Photo sceneries and MegaSceneryEarth sceneries of Ireland, Belgium and The Netherlands. What I forgot to mention was that I operate P3D v2.6 in my first post, A bit remiss of me! The FRANCEVFR Bretagne Nord Vol 1 was designed for P3D and installed with Estonia Migration tool enabled which I used for the other FRANCEVFR sceneries and they work and the scenery is use, its just getting a bit frustrating that this area of France is not working.

Don't know if this is the correct forum for my question but here goes:- I've just installed FRANCEVFR Bretagne Vol 1 and have an instant CTD every time I fly near the coast/border with this area or load a flight at any of the airports. The scenery appears and then CTD! I already have FRANCEVFR Upper and Lower Normandy, Picardie and Calais installed with no problems. I've checked every possible avenue for corrupt ADE files, traffic files, duplication but can find nothing wrong. Has anyone had trouble with this area? Their own forum site is not helpful as I only get a answer from my queries in French, s'il vous plait! I've tried altering Scenery Library layers - no joy, merde!

I concur Christopher, outstanding tribute. I have ShawburyFields as I used to work there with RAF as well as with Marshalls of Cambridge and Serco.

For the flickering textures, its probably an issue called "z-fighting"! If you do a search on the P3D forum there is a thread that explains it all in detail but basically the cure is to add the following line "ClipMode=Normal" within the camera.cfg located where your P3D.cfg is:- [CameraDefinition.002] Title = Virtual Cockpit Guid = {C95EAB58-9E4A-4E2A-A34C-D8D9D948F078} Description = This is the description of the virtual cockpit view. Origin = Virtual Cockpit MomentumEffect = Yes SnapPbhAdjust = Swivel SnapPbhReturn = False PanPbhAdjust = Swivel PanPbhReturn = False Track = None ShowAxis = YES AllowZoom = TRUE InitialZoom = 0.7 SmoothZoomTime = 2.0 ZoomPanScalar = 1.0 ShowWeather = Yes XyzAdjust = TRUE ShowLensFlare=FALSE Category = Cockpit PitchPanRate=30 HeadingPanRate=75 PanAcceleratorTime=0 HotKeySelect=1 ClipMode=Normal Nigel

The cause of tne g3d.dll freezes were FS9 files converted to FSX and then used in P3d v2.5. Since I have deleted all modified FSX airfields and isolated any .bgl files which probably originated from FS9 I've had no g3d.dll errors or MSVCR100.dll freezes. LM have just issued v2.5.12946 Hotfix 4 which is not compatible with Instant Scenery 3, found this out to my error.
