Post by JonFocus03 »

So, I've been away from the sim world for quite some time and I think my sim is mad at me for this.

I go to pick my plane
Then the default flight loads.

Hello Jon

Try this.........

Delete these 2 files at the location below Prepar3D_Default.fxml and Prepar3D_Default.wx

Both of these files are generated files and will generate again as default when Prepar3D is launched next.

This will not effect your settings or 3rd party software (Add On's)

Local Disk (C:) ► Users ► You ► AppData ►Local ► Lockheed Martin ► Prepar3D v4


A quick way of locating these files........

Copy the TEX below and Paste it into your Windows search bar and click on the result, This will bring you directly to the correct location

Code: Select all

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4


Delete the 2 files above and then Launch Prepar3D as Administrator and test.

Let us know how you get on

Same results. I did find that if I uncheck the "show at startup" for the "Scenario" screen the sim loads directly into default flight and works fine. I can select a plane and airport from there. As soon as I have the "Scenario" screen come up it causes issues.

Hello Jon

You have many Add On's so we will take small steps and hopefully this next one will resolve your Issue

This will not effect your Add On's.

Delete the following 3 files at the location below, Prepar3D.cfg, UISettings.xml and the VehicleFavorites.xml file

Click here for an Image of these files

Local Disk (C:) ► Users ► You ► AppData ► Roaming ► Lockheed Martin ► Prepar3D v4

Code: Select all

%APPDATA%\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4


Then launch Prepar3D and test

Let us know how you get on

Poppet you are a darn wizard. I removed those 3 files and loaded in. All seems to be working fine again.

I bow to your almighty powers.

Thank you very much,
Jon
