I am getting a message when starting the sim offering me an update in respect of the object flow module. I have read before that this can cause various sim issues. Can someone confirm that this latest update is safe to install. Many thanks. Michael

I am having to do s re install of Windows 7 to solve my problem and therefore start from scratch. Thanks for all your help. Michael

Thanks for your comments. I will report back. Michael

Hi again Elaine, Yes,everything is exactly the same,nothing different. Would welcome further observations/thoughts please. Michael

I have just completed a fresh download and have followed the correct processes and have placed P3D in my C drive and again P3D will not open on my desktop screen,the blue screen just hangs there as before. Now,I am really at a loss. Further help would be appreciated. Michael

Thanks for your recent replies. I am currently doing a full download again and have deleted all files from P3D and will therefore do a full re-install. Will let you know if it does the trick. Michael

HI Bob, Yes maybe you are right and this what I will have to do. Thanks, Michael

Hi Elaine, Many thanks,will come back to you. Michael Hi Elaine, I have gone into my folders as you suggested but some of the files within these folders are missing and are not quite the same as yours. Before I go any further any thoughts on this. Michael

Hi Elaine, Many thanks for your reply. Yes,I completely uninstalled Version 3.1 and removed the 5 folders. I did the complete install of version 3.2 and ran the Prepar3D exe and can confirm that P3D is being run as admin. I have added P3D to my exclusions zone in my ant virus software. I have full control in my permissions folder in my C drive and can confirm that the client,scenery,content and academic client all installed OK. Any further help/support would be appreciated. Michael

Hi Bob, I uninstalled my FSDT airports together with GSX and deleted the add on manager. Any further observations would be welcome. Michael

Hi Maarten, No,deleting the CFG does not solve the problem. Any other thoughts/comments would be appreciated. Michael

I have downloaded Version 3.2 as a complete new download after deleting all of my add on's and therefore a complete new install having had version 3.1 previously. I downloaded 3.2 with no issues,extracted all the files and then run the set up button and decided to place into my C drive inside a new folder Prepar3D,I was told that this is the best place to install the sim. I then successfully activated the product on line and the normal P3D Academic blue screen appeared and the line went across 'generating scenery files ' etc. However,my problem is that the the Sim does not open, the blue P3D screen just stays there and hangs for ever. I am really at a loss as to where to go from here. Also I have downloaded the latest SDK file and have placed it in the same Prepar3D folder in my C drive as mentioned above and I am not sure if that is right. Anyway,obviously something is wrong somewhere and I would appreciate any help/observations please. I am running Windows 7 OS. Many thanks in anticipation. Michael

I have just updated the sim to version 3.2 but after a few minutes the sim crashes to desktop with the app error named Stackhash. This has only occurred following the 3.2 install and apart from a complete reinstall do not know where to go next. Any advice/ comments would be appreciated and many thanks in advance. Michael

Many thanks for all your replies. I now fully understand. Michael

Thanks for your reply. I am talking about using P3D and not a controller like FSUIPC. In relation to F6 and F7 are you saying that to extend the flaps incrementally that I click on F6for each stage of flaps and the same with F7 for retracting them. Also can I assign any other key apart from these two to the job or not. Would appreciate further comments. Michael
