P3Dv4 Hangs When 182 Is Loaded

Post by stewie63 »

Not sure what I've done... My 182 was working great a few weeks ago, then I bought the Connie. I initially had trouble with it but was able to get it to work when I ran P3D as Admin. Few days later I go to launch 182 and P3D completely and instantly hangs as soon as I load the 182. Whether it's the first aircraft I load, or load one that works then switch to it. All my other aircraft are working.

Things I've tried:
* Completely un-install the Connie and 182 and fully delete the "P3D Add-on" folder.
* Reinstalled the 182 letting it choose the default install location
** I've done this twice, first time the 182 didn't work I tried the Connie and it did... SO I uninstalled all and tried 182 again; that's where I am now
* I've tried "Run as Admin" and normal
* Rebooted many times

I don't want to do fresh P3D install. I'm thinking I have something messed up that hopefully can be easy fix? Maybe some temp files I can blow away... Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello,

what is your default flight?

The connie wont affect it at all so any other add-ons or system changes you made since running the 182?

thanks,

It didn't matter if it was default flight or not. I ended up just re-installing P3D and is working now. I wonder if it wasn't something to do with having P3D in Program Files... I was hoping they fixed that with v4, but since re-installing to normal directory everything is working better!

Back to flying! :)


Thanks,
James

Good to hear James, there is no fixing for program files. Thats just a user issue in windows and people not granting the correct permissions. Its an easy fix to get around and will help understand ones own system and computers. Its a shame the myth of outside program files exists in the fs world rather than the true cause which is just a little bit of education about how computers and the modern OS works.
