Rebuild P3d.cfg

[ASC_AirLimo]

Everytime I install a new add-on P3D will boot, do a quick load that doesn't finish then disappear. If I try and restart P3D, I get a message stating that P3D is already running, but it is not listed in Task Manager. I then have to reboot and then delete the P3D.cfg file and let it rebuild each time. This morning I got this same scenario, but I did not add anything new last night or today. I read this is happening because of a corrupt P3D.cfg file. Why is my cfg file getting corrupt so often?

What version are you running?

It's most likely the result of an add-on or background process running. Try uninstalling your add-ons and reinstalling them one-at-a-time.

I did this and after each add-on I've had to rebuild the p3D.cfg file.

When you uninstalled your add-ons, did you check with the vanilla Prepar3D? If it was still requiring a refresh, then try reinstalling the client and content components.

I reformatted and installed everything fresh.

If you're still experiencing the issue with a complete reinstall and no add-ons, then we're getting different results. Could you please post your OS and system specs?

Note also that OTHER P3D configuration files besides prepar3d.conf can cause this behavior.

For example, if you've got a reference in your panels.cfg file to an add-on (like a third-party GPS receiver from Mindstar or Flight1) that you've uninstalled, you will see this very same kind of crashing behavior.

I haven't uninstalled anything yet.

Windows 7 Home SP1 all updated.
64-bit
Quad Core Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3570K @ 3.40GHz
NVIDEA GeForce GTX 960 G1 Gaming
8GB Ram

Not sure what more you need. I know how to use a computer, but I'm not that good inside the computer. When I do a reformat I follow NickN's guide for what I think is needed for me.

Everything listed installed without any issues. After install I start P3D so the add on loads completely, start the default flight, then reboot. When I would run P3D again is when I would get this CTD.
