carlosqr Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Hi I've been trying to launch my sim today and it doesn't start... It stucks here forever. I did control+alt+delete to stop it and tried again (already three times after hours waiting for it to start) I flew last night and all was ok, went to bed and now I'm starting it and nothing happens Any clues pls?

Stewart Hobson Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Reboot the computer would be the first thing I would do. Turn it off, then turn it on again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlosqr Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 The strange thing is that in applications nothing shows... but it does in process.. And still has not launched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 Try renaming C:\programdata\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3d v4\scenery.cfg and try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosqr Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 Hi Nick Renaming it? to what? Or should I remove it and try to launch the sim to create it again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosqr Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 Hi NIck I moved the scenery.cfg file to desktop and launched it It is now giving signs of life, but I'll confirm is it starts. The autogen configurator merger also showed doing its stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted July 21, 2018 Share Posted July 21, 2018 This would indicate that your scenery.cfg file is corrupt or that you have perhaps placed scenery below the P3D default scenery. P3D has built a new one but it will only have default products in it. You will need to run FTX Central to populate the scenery library with your Orbx products.

carlosqr Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 Thank you Nick!!! It's running. You should have seen how I ate my breakfast while trying to fix this What an odd thing. Why this happened and how did you know exactly it would get fixed by dealing with that file, pls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok noted, no sceneries below default p3d sceneries so might be the corrupt theory. I'll run FTX Central When Ihaving the issue run the CCcleaner just to get rid of garbage, but noticed a lot of HighSim stuff to clean.... Anyway thank you for the guidance as usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosqr Posted July 21, 2018 Author Share Posted July 21, 2018 Hi Nick After running FTX I launched the sim but ALL the addons added manualy or that were nor added by the xml feauture are gone They were indeed a lot, it took me weeks to install them. They still are in the addons folder but the sim doesn't detect them Do I have to add everything again? These are all 3rd paty ones Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
