Rene Feijen Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I installed TEN update and since then P3DV4 crashes to desktop. I uninstalled TEN without result. I then deactivated all addon scenery (incl all ORBX addons) and still CTD. It crashes when starting at Netherlands for example EHGG Eelde, but also when in France airports. I am now recovering a Acronis TrueImage backup of my system with a clean P3DV4 installation and will then only install TEN and try it out. The CTD is rather annoying, esp when it takes many minutes every time I startup the sim (from SSD!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Hello, welcome to the forums. Typically, P3D will not start if scenery library entries have been added below the Default Terrain scenery library entry. The reported fact that the simulator does not start with or without TENL would indicate that it is not the cause of the problem. Uninstalling or restoring backups is entirely unnecessary, any product can be completely removed from a simulator by simply unticking its scenery library entries. I would suggest that you start by deleting or renaming C:\programdata\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\scenery.cfg and running the simulator to see if it then works.

Rene Feijen Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 Thanks for the advice. There are also other reasons why I want to reinstall, a.o. microstuttering, so I will do that anyway. I will observe behaviour of P3DV4 after every addon I install now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 As you wish, however I would advise you to run "Delete Generated Files", either before you uninstall or after you have reinstalled but before you run the simulator. If you do not, your error may be stored up and transferred to the new installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Cooper Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 Please take a look inside your P3D root folder, where you will see this file. Right click on it and select run as administrator. It will reset all your preferences and controls to default though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rene Feijen Posted March 4, 2019 Author Share Posted March 4, 2019 Ah, crucial tip I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
