John Heaton Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I have a major problem - I have lost my P3D V4 - asked on PD forum - Nick tried to help and no help from Avsim Or P3D forums https://orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/193776-blank-screen-aftewr-loding-ac-and-ap/ The whole story on above - any advice taken ( well ! none rude ones) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dow Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 NOt running more than one screen? I used to lose programs at work because a program would be trying to load in another screen I didn't have. Another option which is more likely: go into the P3D folder and run 'Delete Generated Files'. You'll lose your preferences but you should get P3D back.

Thanks john for the reply I only run 1 screen and the resolutions match as well as the FPS/Hz I don't know how to do the action on gen files - but the sim is absolute vanilla so had no time to install any preferences. I also have done another Repair check of all the install no luck from it though except I got this note after the repair - which I don't understand I know Nick talked about shaders etc I suppose I could buy the V5 but will the same problem occur.

Nick Cooper Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Hello John, inside your new installation of P3D, you will find a file named Delete Generated Files. Right click on that and select Run as an administrator. Then try P3D again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Nick Many thanks for trying to help - I always thought it had to be something other than P3D in view of all the installs and repairs I thought back to when it all started - last Friday I thought - and then had a Light bulb moment I'm always suspicious of W10 upgrades and yes there was one last Friday so I uninstalled it and Bingo - I had my P3D back again in full 'I wonder how many others that update might have stuffed up? Many Thanks Nick for your kind efforts - much appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
