Blank Screen When Model Selected

Post by Rob »

Hi Lyn
You solved a problem with this model for me on Aug 21, now I have another. Due to an annoying repeating problem with RAM, I upgraded from the 32bit V3 application to the more flexible 64 bit P3DV4. The Lockheed 049 model seemed to reload okay, but on selection the screen remained blank. I remembered the previous SimConnect.msi problem and attempted to run it as before. This time I found a SimmConnect.LIB, not .msi, file and a SimConnect file without an extention. I ran it anyway, but without success. I still have the blank screen with just the 'Parking Brake On' indication in the lower left hand corner.
I hope Lyn that you have a solution for this as you did last.
Cheers Rob

Hello Rob,

did you install the P3Dv4 Connie or the P3Dv3 Connie into your new P3Dv4 installation?

thanks

Hello Lewis,
It was for the V4 version. In fact I reloaded it again from the V4 EXE.
Thanks
Rob

I had the same problem until I started P3Dv4 in ADMIN mode.

There's a way to set up the shortcut so it always starts the program in ADMIN mode. Click right on the shortcut and click left on Properties. Click left on Advanced. Click left on the Run as Administrator box.

Hope that works.
