Maintenance hangar not working at all

[novice_dragon]

I purchased & installed brand new P3DR v3.4, then installed A2A c172 trainer using the "C172_P3D_Professional.EXE".

c172 will apear on screen, but the engine won't start (even with Ctrl-E). At the maintenance hangar, almost everything (including battery) is in red, while the "COMPLETE OVERHAUL" button has no effect. I appreciate any help!

Hi and welcome to the forums.

From the troubleshooting FAQ thread:

P3D - Installed but nothing works and all is broken!?

P3DV2 sometimes wont install the required simconnect files. No worries though as they are provided by Lockheed in the following directory;
\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2\redist\Interface\FSX-SP2-XPACK\retail\lib

This should get you up and running.


Viele Grüße | Best regards,

Same for me. P3D V3 work perfect with other airplane that come with. Then I installed A2A c172 trainer following the A2A instructions, the c172 was installed but the engine won't start (even with Ctrl-E). At the maintenance hangar, almost everything (including battery) is in red, while the "COMPLETE OVERHAUL" button has no effect.

Please see this thread or common troubleshooting FAQ thread for how to fix your simconnect.
