![]() What I meant was simply what has been a recommended procedure since the release of FSX and P3D:Īlways load your SIM with a default aircraft (main loading screen) and ON the loading screen change to your aircraft of choice.

These quotes are from a post I made in the PMDG forum at Avsim concerning another issue, but the information is relevant to matter of selecting PMDG aircraft in the sim. If you load a 737 livery or variant on top of itself you will see strange issues in the cockpit, P3D may CTD or otherwise crash, etc. This means that if you have one livery or variant of the airplane selected and running within the simulation world (say, a 737-900) and you wish to change liveries to a different 737, you will need to shut down the simulator and then select the new variant or livery you wish to switch to from scratch. One shortcoming of all PMDG products is that our products do not like to be “reloaded” on top of themselves. With regards to choosing an NGX of any livery, and then a different NGX, from the manual: Reading through the manual PMDG 737NGX Introduction, the section starting on page 34, entitled 'Known P3D-isms to Avoid', it states that the NGX should be loaded as the first aircraft, rather than loading the default aircraft ( F-22 ) and then changing to the NGX. Kosta, with regards to loading the default aircraft first in P3D rather than FSX: This procedure has been AFAIK recommended by PMDG, but I am only pulling it from back of my head, as I have been using that procedure for years now, without a single problem. You can, AFTER you have chosen a correct aircraft for your situation (say PMDG737 is in the situation, you choose the PMDG737 in the menu first, livery doesn't matter), load your scenario.

But then, when I go to file explorer and double-click the same saved. I have tried many different variations of this and it fails in this way every time when using either the PMDG 772 or 737 NGX.Īdded Note: If I start P3Dv3 normally, then load a saved PMDG situation file from the Scenario Setup screen, it loads correctly every time. I then need to go into the Task Manager to "end task" on the Prepar3D.exe process since it's still loaded. fxml file, the sim begins to load, then fails to the desktop with no notifications. fxml file just fine, but when I try and start from a saved PMDG aircraft. Now, when I try doing this with P3Dv3, it fails. fxml file used less total VAS than starting a flight from within the Scenario Setup screen. I began doing this since starting from the. In my previous environment using P3Dv2.5 I would typically start the sim by double-clicking a stored situation file (.fxml) so that the aircraft would load at the airport/gate I desired to begin my flight from. Right now this is just a problem I am having with P3Dv3, and it is definitely possible it's something specific to my setup. I posted this in both Avsim's Prepar3D and PMDG General forums and it was suggested by Robert Randazzo that I post it here as well.įirst off, I am not claiming that this is a bug. ![]()
