Need Help With P3D v5!
Posted: Thu Apr 08, 2021 4:20 pm
Esteemed colleagues,
Last August I finally made the switch to P3D v5.1, with a clean install on a new custom machine. It is my understanding that I have the latest Hotfix and version of P3D, and it has been running swimmingly up until the past week. When I load P3D, the splash screen appears, then loads the main page, but then suddenly quits after about 5 seconds. The aircraft selection box doesn't render any aircraft, and none of the click spots work.
The only recent change was my NVIDIA drivers automatically updated, as well as the latest Simlink version. Perhaps one of these new updates is my problem? Sadly, I must admit that I'm not the most tech savvy when it comes to trouble shooting these kind of issues, although I can navigate and find files just fine. I just don't know where to start looking or where to begin. Any thoughts as to where I can look, or perhaps a link to some trouble shooting guides? A Google search only yields old data from previous versions, and I don't want to make changes of delete things willy-nilly. Overall, the machine runs just fine and is very stable, and runs P3D without any performance issues (that I can obviously tell)
Until then, I'm grounded.
i5 10600K 4.10 GHz, OC to 5.2
Corsair H150 Pro 360mm liquid cooling
1 TB WD Black M.2 SSD (Windows 10 OS and P3D root folder)
750 Watt Corsair power supply
EVGA RTX2060 Super 8 GB
Windows 10 (latest updates)
Prepare3d v5.1
ORBX North America land class (runs fine)
Thanks in advance,
Brian
