P3Dv5 not working

Post by Jordan3D »

So recently i was doing a flight from MMGL to KIAH and noticed that ASN wasn’t picking up accurate weather so i reinstalled it and updated it. After that i went back on to P3D and noticed that my FPS was a slideshow so then i restart my computer and after that the problem persists. I came to the conclusion that i needed to uninstall P3D entirely and when i got it back up and running, the FPS was struggling. I was getting around 25 FPS in the default F35 scenario compared to like 100+ with the sliders all the way down. I reset my entire PC to “factory” condition and reinstalled P3D again. This time P3D gives me a loading bar for the scenery database, shows me the scenario screen then closes without an error message or anything. What did i do wrong? I didn’t touch any sensitive file or play around with any configs. Please help I’m losing my mind.

Do you have an nVidia graphics card? If so then roll the driver for it back one version.
