Frank,

On the screen where you're supposed to see the preview of planes, do you see anything at all on that screen, or is it just the preview that you do not see?

And, what are your system specs?

frank,

Can you do a screenshot of your opening screen when you start P3D?

Is your P3D in a default state now without any Add-ons or other modifications?

as for other simulators yes l do have others installed but these were add well after l installed P3D to find out that it wasn;t working with the preview.

specs I7
12gb memory
SSD 1TB
rx580

it fly's no problems and the graphics are outstanding just no preview.

As for default yes it is a default install no addons no change to nothing like a out of box install and run.

l have a screen shot of the start up but l don;t know how to attached it here or should l say l have tried to do it and
it just doesn;t work for me. I can email it

I wanted to see a screenshot of the first P3D screen (opening screen when you start P3D).

Is your PC a home built PC or a name brand store bought PC?

Which other Flight Sims do you have installed?

Which Windows version xxxx are you using?

LOAD a P3Dv5 saved flight like Missing Coworker. Do you have a preview image of it?

@ vk3fadi ,

Start your P3D v5 default flight (F35A at KRND)

Look at the win10 Task manager and do 2 screenshots when it starts.
One of the Process page
One of the Performance page
