Crashes after last patch

Post by _ME2_ »

Hi there

Since I installed the latest AccuSim update, the Connie causes P3D (v3.4) to crash as soon as the flight is loaded.
I can just barely see the scenery build up and then everything freezes up and I have to quit the sim. This happens before I can do anything and I don't hear the crew's greetings.

Can anybody help me with that problem?

Further info: my other A2A planes (both Piper GA) still work flawlessly. I use Win 10 and appart from some Orbx Scenery there are no other add-ons installed.

Cheers, Mike

Hi.
Others have already reported this type of problem , it would be helpfull to scott and team , if you had stated your system specs , so they can see if a trend is showing , that could lead them to a fix.
since the update mine has worked with most of reported faults fixed , i use win 7 and FSX+acelleration.

My system is built as follows:

Intel Core i7 950, overclocked @ 3.87 GHz
Mainboard: Asus Rampage III Formula
Memory: 16 GB DDR3
GPU: AMD Radeon R9 390 (8GB DDR5)
Operating System: Windows 10
Simulator: Prepar3d v3.4
Addons: A2A Cherockee, Comanche, Connie, Orbx regions and airports, REX Softclouds.

If you need any further information, I'll be glad to help.

Is there a way to revert to the Connie Version before the patch without loosing my carreer?

Cheers, Mike

Edit: Radeon Crimson Driver Version 17.2.1 installed

Hi Mike,

In order to reset the update you'll have to reinstall the Connie. This should however not affect your career. But to make sure got to:

Documents/A2A/P3D/L049

And backup all the files in there. Those are the files that clock your hours, state of the aircraft and your career. In case everything gets reset by the install just put the files back into above mentioned folder and the hours and career should be back where you left it.

Hope this helps

Happy flying

Been watching the new patch problems. I always wait and watch the forums after any update of anything.

So I'm wondering if it's being worked on as I don't want to run the update till it's safe to do so.

Thanks.

Hi B17flyer.
I think its always been safe , the fact that some are seeing crashes or black screens , might be permission issues , tug reinstalled is FSX away from the default install of program files(x86) and successfully got is connie working with the update , i have my FSX installed on my f disc , and only issue i have had , is i cannot use my dedicated autopilot pitch trim switch , through the A2A configurator , in the meantime i use the mouse to control autopilot pitch trim within the VC , using the rear aislestand switch or sperry pitch trim switch .

Finally found the time to investigate the issue a little.

A hint, I found in another thread helpted me. Starting P3D as an administrator (right click on the .exe -> "Run as Administrator") solves the issue for me.

Definitely going to take the Connie for a ride this weekend :)
