active Cfg file missing in program

[Danster]

Did a clean install of prepar3d but on loading program found there is no cfg file in the program at all

On starting prepar3d says it needs scenery cfg file to run and closes.

Help needed to overcome this problem .

Any help would be appreciated  Danster

Hello,

P3D should create its own scenery and other configuration files.

Perhaps you need to check the integrity of your installation.

Not sure what you mean by Integrity .

There is NO cfg file at all in the program when installed 

Message : Prepar3d CANNOT run without a valid scenery.cfg.

Please uninstall and reinstall Prepar3d. Click ABORT to exit Prepar3d  ABORT

Both of which I have done,  am at a loss Nick

Just a thought;

 

Go to: C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5 and see if your scenery.cfg is there. If it is, delete it. P3D will rebuild the scenery.cfg. the next time you open P3D.

 

You may want to pick up the free Lorby Prepar3D Addon Organizer: https://www.lorby-si.com/downloads.html

 

This will allow you to work with your scenery without having to load P3D.

 

Good luck and good hunting.

 

Cordially,

Roger

Hello,

really this is a topic for the Lockheed Martin P3D forum.

I certainly have no idea why P3D is not creating its own,

although if it is a permissions issue, it would be worth

making sure that it is run as an administrator.

In this case that the P3D installation is whole and complete.
