My understanding is that's old school FSX/ early P3D procedure because those sims had trouble loading complex aircraft. But I never even had those problems in those sims.

I still haven't heard from Chaseplane support. But I went through their support FAQ and completely uninstalled Chaseplane following their directions on how to do so, then reinstalled after a reboot. I then turned off "release candidate versions" and attempted a 60+ minute flight. Was able ...

Yes, I've submitted a ticket for Chaseplane support. No reply yet.

And I used all that stuff and a lot more on my last 2 PCs. I don't know if there's a problem with P3D and it's camera system or if it's a problem with Chaseplane? But all 3 crashes today happened while interacting with Chaseplane.

Yes, it definitely has to do with changing/manipulating views. Verified files in Orbx for Chaseplane. Set up my flight. Since it was my first time trying to fly the PMDG NGXu on this PC I had to set up all my views in Chaseplane. That all went fine. Did my preflight. Pushed back. Started engines. We...

I'm not ready to go the uninstall route yet. Since this was the first real attempt at flying P3D on this machine, "uninstall the last thing" really means uninstall everything. Instead I'm going to see if I can isolate it by eliminating some of the involved software. I'm going to try to do ...

Without having any idea what is causing the crashes I don't have a plan really. Uninstall everything and try again, one add on at a time? The sim is useless to me if I can't use it how I want. The ONLY thing I can think of that could be a problem is that P3D is installed on my D drive because I have...

Ok just flew the F35 around for about 10 minutes with no issues.

Yes, I'll go fly around in the F35 right now.

BTW the above error showed up yesterday as well. Those are the only two instances of it. I did have P3D open a few times yesterday but didn't have any crashes. I was just installing airports and loading into them to check that they installed properly.

>When you first installed P3D did you do a test flight in a default P3D aircraft without Add-ons installed / running ? No sir, I did not. I have loaded into aircraft many times as I configured things. I never even got to engine start before either of these crashes occurred. There were some errors re...

No sir. I checked every section of the event viewer. Neither crash shows up.

Brand new computer. Here are the specs: I7 12700KF 32 GB RAM RTX 3070 Brand new install of P3D 5.3 HF 2. Literally the first time I've tried to fly in it. FSLabs Airbus. Parked at Aerosoft EDDF. Active Sky P3D w/ ASCA. Chase Plane. GSX. Two times this morning, while changing views or just panning in...

Thanks for the response. That was kinda the point of the question? Would someone from LM say "Without autogen you'll have flat, empty texutres where there should be buildings and vegetation"? Or would they say "The world will still look like the world, just with less 3D stuff in it, a...

Seems like a dumb question, but is autogen NEEDED to be used in P3D? In other words, can I turn the sliders down to their minimum and still have a realistic looking world? In the never ending quest to get great looking visuals without killing your hardware, it seems to me like autogen is an unncecce...

Besides clicking the little stars when selecting an aircraft in order to make it a "favorite", is there any other way to accomplish this? I am visually impaired and I have trouble discerning when I've actually clicked the star, both because of it's small size and because the white and gold...
