Re: P3dv4.3 Stuck at Generating Scenery Files Index on Startup

Hi.. Add me to this list. I managed to get 4.3 working so decided to remove p3dv3. Big mistake. I am back to square 1 and P3D v4.3 is stuck at the splash screen then suddenly goes off. Tried most of the remedies suggested by you all and I believe it relates to my scenery config. Have spent 3 days tr...

Re: P3D stuck at splash screen after update to 4.3

Hello guys. I had the same splash screen freeze and this was only after installing the version 4.3 client. After doing the usual fault finding, after some investigating I found there were three culprits in no particular order. 1. FS Labs A320 2. GTN complete 3. Active sky next. I found updates for a...

Re: KB4038788 crashes my P3D v3

Guys...For those of you still struggling to get p3dv3 to work after the windows update try this. At the start up screen, create a flight plan instead of loading your default flight or a previously created scenario. When the sim loads you can carry on as normal. This method has worked for me on two m...

Re: P3D V 3.3 and windows update KB4038788

I hope this will help you. I have 3 copies of p3d. Two are p3dv3.4. One on a laptop and the other on a dedicated flightsim machine. I also have p3dv4 on the dedicated machine. I have exactly the same problem as you since the update, and p3dv3.4 fails at 100% on the loading sequence. This happens on ...

Re: KB4038788 crashes my P3D v3

The same for me. I have two copies of P3DV3.4, one on a gaming laptop and the other on my main flight sim PC. The sim fails and crashes at 100% on loading, however.... I can use the sim by creating a flight plan instead of loading an aircraft and Airport. I also have P3DV4 on my flightsim PC and tha...

Re: ProFlight Yoke pulls aircraft to the right

You could possibly calibrate the yokes axes through a registered copy of FSUIPC. I have two P3dV3 installations. One on a designated Flight sim PC with all the Saitek Pro controllers and boxes and another on a laptop with a Saitek X45 joystick and throttle. I use spad drivers on the main machine whi...
