The T-6 seems to be flying better now ( don't know what I did ) but I can't figure out how to get rid of the external fuel tanks ??!

I have not had time to try it but on some models with externals - if you set them up with 0 fuel - the tanks will not display. Perhaps it's the same on the T-6.

Hey CG,

That looks odd.

You know what I would do is re-download the package. If one of those packets was the wrong size, then you may have a bad download. They should be 3.9, 3.9, and I think 1.8 Gigs each. If they are slightly off, then they are missing data.

Also, did you 'totally' reinstall the package? It could be a legacy issue. You are supposed to delete (or rename) even the My Documents P3 sections when you do a pure, clean install. Make sure you did that also.

Hi bill, I did a virgin install as my org install was destroyed on my old computer in the move to San Antonio. Prepar3D has never been on this computer. Checksums matched up. Part 3 although is reading 1.86. The first two read 3.99. Real stange no matter the settings I use Prepar3D goes pure crazy and spikes fly and my ac even looks like a wrecked car in a t-bone lol. this is all default vannilla and virgin on install.

Dang.... Document 'everything' and let the team know about this at the forum at P3.

One last thing. Try this. When you go to start the sim, right click on the icon and select 'run as Administrator' and see what happens.
 
Finally got 1.4 loaded. Now all it does is "Fatal Error" message me and crash! I can't even start to express how PO'd I am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Mud............that sounds like a "run as administrator" thing.....Installation step 1 - right click set up exec and select "Run as Administrator" from context menu.

I think LD is right, MM.

Right click on the P3D exe icon and select Run as Administrator

It's not there when I right click, I'm set up to run as admin.

There are two totally separate "Administrator" modes in both Vista and Win7. There is a higher level sometimes called "Super Administrator" which has total access to the system at the root level. You can only get there by issuing a command at a "Command Prompt" level then rebooting.

You don't have a "Properties" selection when right-clicking on the desktop icon? That's where you'll find the option to "Run as Administrator."
 
Glad it just isn't me having issues! They really F'd up a good thing for me! Feels like I'm dealing with FSX all over again!:mad::banghead:

Its running very good for me.

I loaded it up on the laptop and was running it yesterday on it, and it ran fine on that too. I did have to lower autogen, raise special scenery effects and things, lowered viz distance a bit and it started running like glass. Kept clouds, traffic, etc, all set. In FSX, I had to turn most everything off or to 5%.



On that post, some were not right clicking and going through 'run as Administrator' and one had a bad download. It was 3.99 on the readout, but a check of the actual file with a program showed it was missing files.


Why not give it a try and redownload it. Its a massive download. Maybe something went wrong. I know during my download, number 2 timed out several times. I have dealt with many customers in the payware business that downloaded my product (that they paid good money for) and the wings were wacked, gauges not working sound wouldnt work, and it turned out to be a bad download and reloading it new fixed everything.

Are you sure you havent recycled any files back into the sim? Like settings files, the Prepar3D config file?

Try deleting or hiding the config and restarting, like we would do with the FSX config. It re-sets its brains and goes pure again. See if that helps.

Bill , (and MM)

I just finished loading P3D and all went well , without errors . Just to clarify there are two times (according to installation instructions) to "Run As Administrator" . Right click on Setup.exe during initial installation and right click again on the Prepar3D.exe (inside Prepar3D folder). I believe instructions were specific that both(setup and Prepar3D.exe's) had to be "Ran As Administrator" or these type of errors would occur . Maybe some people are right clicking only one of the two exe's required and not both . Only my meager suggestion (and guess).

Rich

Spent way too much time this afternoon on backing up essential folders from 1.3 and loading up P3D but WELL worth it . May try to start loading a few AC and scenery tomorrow . Really like what I've seen in 1.4 . A big improvement . Congrats to LM !
