The A2A Simulations Community

Okay, I seem to have found out the issue, I found out that in ProgramData and Appdata locations for P3Dv5, there are some files called dll.xml PMDG, RAAS, Carenado and Captain Sim plus others all use these files and the sim only inserts the one in Programdata if its not there with a acexml document ...

Okay, thanks for the update Adam. Glad to hear this fixes the problem. Without knowing exactly which changes you've made and which other add-ons you use (for example any that modify shaders) it's hard to be sure what the culprit was. You could always restore the files from the recycle bin and then ...

Okay, I deleted all those files to the bin.... and when I reloaded the sim up with the A2A addon, all is well in the Connie once more.... So out of 81 files in my sim, one or more is causing this to happen... I will firstly reapply the beacon fix and check and then go through all these files to find...

Hello Adam, I think the next thing to try is a complete reset of your P3D settings. Lockheed Martin have actually incorporated a shortcut for just this purpose: it's the "delete generated files" shortcut in the main Prepar3D directory. Please can you give this a try. Note that it'll remov...

Okay, here is what I did step by step: * Ran the Uninstaller from add/remove programs * Hunted down every folder on the PC in about 7 different locations and deleted whatever was named L049. * Emptied the shader cache ( I didnt need to delete anything in the addons folder as that was already gone fr...

Okay, thanks. To be honest, since various files have been moved I'd suggest you run another reinstall. This time, after you uninstall but before you reinstall, please can you manually delete the entire "Documents\Prepar3D v5 Add-ons\A2A\SimObjects\Airplanes\WoS_L049" folder. I also recomm...

File size is correct, thanks. Please can you also make sure that a copy of this file isn't present in any of the individual "texture.???" folders for the various liveries. (e.g. "texture.BOAC") Thanks, Nick I have today, since this issue has been happening, placed in some liveri...

Yes, there should be 45 files in the folder in question. However, can you check the size of the "vc_gxml2.dds" file as it looks like this one in particular isn't being rendered properly.

Thanks,
Nick

That file in question is 2MB in size... what size should it be?

just to confirm, in the texture folder you mentioned that is shared by the liveries, there are 45 files present in that folder?

Is that correct?

I removed my cfg file and placed it on the desktop. Ran the Black Marble tool that I use when I change to another airport, which also removes the contents of the folder you mentioned. Ran the sim and when it loaded up into the scenario screen. The aircraft preview was visible and working (usually th...

Just to be clear, you want me to delete my entire folder in app data for lockheed martin? No, just the "Prepar3D.cfg" file really, and I recommend you make up backup first in case you wish to restore it. However, as well as this file, I'd also recommend you delete the separate "C:\Us...

oh, Ive just seen you said delete the shaders folder only... LOL no worries

Hello Adam, Have you made any other modifications to your Connie installation other than to the effects file that you mention? For example installing repaints or cockpit modifications? In any case, one thing you can try is resetting P3D to its default graphics settings. To do this, navigate to the ...

Hi Adam. I dont know where P3D or win 10/11 put things Nick of A2A will be better to ask for this , i still use win7 and FSXA. in WIN7/FSXA some files are in Documents/My Documents/A2A and some files in users/AppData/Roaming/Micosoft/FSX.cfg . you could try doing a seach off previous posts on clean...

Hi Adam. I dont have P3D i still use FSXA , but when you say you installed the correct version of L049 for your sim recently , did you delete all the files for your original install first , as some files are still left behind after using program uninstall , and the ones left behind have to be manua...
