Hello asbjornj ,

Could be caused by either a corrupt simobjects.cfg file or a corrupt VehicleFavorites.xml file.

Hello asbjornj ,

"this message comes when starting Prepare 3Dv5"
Is this the Load Scenario screen?

Can you do a screenshot?

Is your default flight the P3D F-35A at KRND?

Have yo made any changes to your "favorites" (aircraft or saved flights)?

Have you added or deleted an aircraft ?

Ref:
%APPDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5
%PROGRAMDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5

Hello asbjornj ,

Put this path in your Windows search:
%APPDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5

Then scroll down the list and find :
VehicleFavorites.xml

Delete it.

ReBoot PC
Start P3D.
