CampbellClarke Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 So I recently got a new SSD for my PC and was installing P3D v4.2 along with all the ORBX products I own. As I was getting things all tweaked, I noticed that when I went in the global lights configurator and tried to click apply to the light settings I selected I kept getting this error. I have uninstalled global lights numerous times and still get the same result. I believe it had to do with corrupt files but i'm unsure how to fix the problem. Please help, Thanks!

Stewart Hobson Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 As far as I am aware, the Global Lights Configurator does not work with P3Dv4.x. You might check here on the forums to verify this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hello, welcome to the forums. Have you installed P3D v4 to F:\ with no P3Dv4 root folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 It seems I have not made myself clear. It is compatible with "v4" but not if the "v4" installation is incorrect. When you installed P3D version 4 what was the exact location that you installed it to? If you use Windows Explorer to look at your F:\ drive, are the P3D files all over the drive or are they all inside one folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the misinformation. It must be another program I was thinking of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CampbellClarke Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Here is my file location along with everything inside of the f drive. When I downloaded P3D I put it in the f drive in order to create a P3d only folder. We you recommend an reinstall? *Update* cannot even get into ftx central it wants me to choose a sim but I cant click on any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 It looks as if the files are in F:\Prepar3D v4 but that the Lights tool is looking for F:\scenery\Global\scenery instead of F:\Prepar3D v4\scenery\Global\scenery. It should be reading from the registry entry for P3D v4. FTX Central should read the same registry entry and will not find Prepar3D.exe and so not recognise it. You could try uninstalling and then reinstalling the P3D v4 client only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
