C172 Trainer Crash (CTD)

[MrMojoRisin]

Hi!

I recently had to carry out a full re-install of P3D (4.5.13.32097), and although everything seems to be working fine, I have an issue where once you click 'OK' on the scenario selection screen after having selected a C172 vehicle (any of the A2A models), P3D will crash to desktop with no error messages. There are no changes to my normal configuration of P3D, which used to work well before the re-install. (Removal and re-install was carried out to relocate P3D to a larger drive (SSD)).

Below are Event Viewer, AppCrashView and DXDiag (cut short due to post max characters 65000) reports, and I would appreciate any help in resolving this annoying error.

Hi and welcome to the A2A forums.

If you've reinstalled P3Dv4 and you're still seeing problems, I recommend you try double-clicking the "Delete Generated Files" shortcut which you'll find in the P3D root folder. This will remove the P3D config file, shader cache and so on.

However, before taking this step, it might be worth just deleting this folder "Documents\A2A\FSX\Cessna172". You can also delete the corresponding one for P3D if you wish, but it's more important to delete the FSX one. The files in this folder record the persistent state of the aircraft, so you may wish to back up before deleting.

Thanks,
Nick

Excellent news, I'm flying again thanks to your advice. As I slowly restored my P3D settings, the error reoccurred when I enabled panel serialisation, which I will now leave off when using this aircraft. Thanks for your help!
