I think I have it narrowed down to FSUIPC 4, with it set to TRUE and everything else FALSE, P3D loads, but with FSUPIC 4 set to FALSE and everything else set to FALSE, P3D doesn't load.

I'll try that, I had to add entries because for some reason they weren't being added automatically when I installed each product (each time selecting P3D as the folder if it didn't already do that).

I wasn't sure where to put this, as it relates to multiple products (PMDG FS2Crew ASNext). The problem I'm having, is when I manually added entries to get the NGX HUD and FS2Crew/RAASpro working. P3D now doesn't load after I did that, it has the splash screen and gets up to around 185,000kb in the process tab and then P3D quits with no error message. I removed what I did and double checked to make sure there were no missing lines, then I saved the dll.xml and restarted P3D, but I still have the same issue.

After loading a fight in progress, the plane loses altitude while it loads everything and starts the engines. After that, the plane cannot keep the assigned altitude and ascends/descends too fast (1300fpm for just 100ft of altitude). Putting ALT HOLD on does nothing, even if I tell the aircraft through the FMC to make a step climb to a higher altitude. VNAV does the same thing, and it happens with ASN off, as well. I verified the hold thing (pressing on the ALT HOLD knob) is off, and double checked that I changed the cruise altitude on the VNAV page and rolled the altitude up to the new cruise altitude to make a step climb.

Can't believe I didn't try that as it fixed the problem, thanks. Mike Young

The altimeter is correctly set and the wind is loaded, the aircraft is at 660.3 GW (LBS) and there's 64.6% of fuel left. I'm trying to climb to the cruise altitude of 38,000ft but it's stuck at 36,760ft. I rolled down the altitude to 36,000ft and changed the cruise altitude on the VNAV page, but it stayed at that altitude, even if I select the ALT hold button, I took off autopilot and flew manually to 38,000ft and then engaged autopilot again, but it descends back down to the 36,760ft altitude. I tried switching between the VNAV and the ALT hold buttons, but they both keep the aircraft at 36,760ft. There are no warnings or cautions being shown, both engines were at climb thrust until it got stuck at 36,760ft, at which point I put them into CRZ. Both flight director switches are on, and the FO side and the backup display both show the same readouts. I'm flying with ASN set to historical and sim time on the 777-300ER, the same as last flight which climbed fine. Any help is appreciated. Mike Young
