Thanks Rogen, This product is released as being Navigraph compatable. It isn't, instead they released a patch, which doesn't work. It downloads with 2 versions, Navigraph compatable and non compatable. I don't understand why they would have 2 versions. The Saab 340 is close to study level and is a dream to fly. Let's know how you go. Cheers

I give up! Set up the sim on my old PC. Installed MJC DHC400, PMDG 772, and Carenado Saab 340. All started and performed as they should. Except the Saab 340 Navigraph still not loading. I am going to trash all Carenado product as they are unusable, Trouble points to Windows OS. The is new PC is incredibly slow as well. Thanks to all for your suggestions. (Ctrl/e was never going to be the solution though)

Thanks for your response, I too have no idea what (I now consider further action not wanted”. I’ve no idea what that meant. The Doctor has notified SA Transport That I should surrender my driver licence. He thinks that condition makes me unfit to drive. (I wonder what my chance are of passing a CPL medical LOL) Re P3D on the licence? onto that one.

I don’t believe your mental state is connected to this problem since your posts are quite coherent. Please explain what qualifications you have to make such a comment. Dementia symptoms in the early stages can swing from light to severe. Right now it is small memory issues but increasing.

1: I don't use ctrl/e nor default airplanes 2: I am almost certain that Windows OS is the problem. I am going set up P3D on an old computer tomorrow.

I now consider further action not wanted

At last Sergey, you have suggested the almighty Microsoft OS could be the problem. YAY I have followed up on every suggestion for a fix, to no avail. Even as I write this AI is preempting with suggestions. I have been simming since 1st version and I have never encountered issues like I have since installing latest OS. (Copilot just deleted) I am now installing Prep3d on an old PC to prove a point. Will let you know the result in due coarse.

Thanks Ray, I have been using the manual start in this bird for a few years. I never use hotkeys. Also Navigraph data does not load. (Common in all Carenado products) The so called fix doesn't work, so not a real IFR machine. I was a Commercial pilot in years gone by, twin IFR rating. The Saab is one of my favorites because it is almost study level. My other go to is PMDG Boeings and MJC Dash 8. Thanks for your help Kevin

Yes, Carenado patch installed. No antivirus. All stock aircraft have same problem. In the past I have never used ctrl/e

Thamks for your input, i have done many sim installs in the past and never encountered problems all of which have a weired consistency. I can see where you are comiing from, but I don't agree with you. I have installed this particular setup several times in te last 3 months, with the same problems occuring over and over. All since new computer. I agree, legal action was a stupid idea, but I am that frustrated. These issues have a strange consistency. However I have enough IT experience to know when a problem exists. All the problems originate from 2 developers. I appreciatee everyone's assistance. I have recently been diagnosed with early onset dementia, so maybe that's the problem. At least I have the PMDG products which have never let me down. Thanks to all for trying to help.

Latest update: Reinstalled the sim, PMDG is still the only add on that works properly. Alabao and Carenado still delivering the same word not allowed. MJC Dash 8 still not connecting to Simbrief downloader. Who is at fault here? No one is putting their hand up. I am seeking legal advice re getting full refund on these products. When new software is installed it should be install, go flying. Not try this, try that, oh dear didn't work... toobad.

That users data path doesn't exist on my PC. The prepa3d.config does and I deleted as advised. I think version is 5.4. Would I be better off upgrading to V6? Will it work with older addons, Orbx etc. I understand it is not an upgrade as such but a complete new installation.

Thanks for your input Dave. Cor I5, 32GB RAM, ASUS RTX 12 GB Graphics Card P3D v5.0 Orbx scenery, PMDG 737/777, MJC Dash8 Professional, some Carenado S340, Ctitan 404. Active Skye. I note that the P3D.cfg hasn't replaced itself. If I have to do another full install I think it will time to quit although the alternatives don't inspire me much.

Set up Lockheed C130 and saved as default. Still no startup?

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.
