Hello All,

 

I am CTD while P3DV5 starts up. P3D V5 is not even able to load. The even log gives me this error:

 

Faulting application name: Prepar3D.exe, version: 5.1.12.26829, time stamp: 0x5fb44f72

The fix for this is to go back to previous version of nvidia drivers. But I have a dual set up of P3DV5 and MSFS 2020. Going back to previous version of nvidia driver is a no go for me because if I do that MSFS 2020 takes a hit and that results in CTD with previous nvidia driver version. 

 

My current NVidia driver version is 466.11.

 

I am raising is on Orbx support portal as I am sure I am not the only one to have dual sim setup. Please of anyone is facing this issue or managed to solve it please let me know as mentioned going back to previous version is a no go for me.

 

Thanks and please help!!!

Did some digging into P3D forums and found this:

See the last comment made by Beau Hollis.

 

Looks like the issue is not yet resolved for P3D V5

Hello,

there is a topic at Avsim about the 466.11 driver.

For the record, I am using 461.40 with six different simulators and no problems at all.
