Paul, just an idea maybe you’ve tried already, but have you downloaded a fresh instance of the installer from the store? My line of thought is if the last time you downloaded the installer v5 was not available yet, perhaps the installer doesn’t recognize your v5 installation and is stopped at looking for v4?

Hello Paul,

Yes, Jacques is spot on. If you're installing the Connie to P3Dv5 there's a separate installer which you can download from your account on the store.

Thanks,

Thanks but I did not buy it here, and not sure where I originally got it.

Have you tried searching your email inbox for a term such as "Constellation" Paul, in case you've got a purchase confirmation email somewhere?

Ok found it, installed but not working in 5.1

I did the check for updates thing and it said I had the latest version but when I go into the connie configurator all I get is GPS and none of the other options listed in the readme.

If I go into the sim and select the connie it shows up and locks up p3d..

Any ideas? Is there a way to get the last update without using the windows updater ?

It's just the GPS option in the Connie configurator Paul. Not sure what you mean by "other options listed in the readme".

For the other issue you describe, please can you give us a bit more info to go on. For example, are you loading any other add-on utilities when P3D launches and have you modified the default scenario at all?

Could you also check the Windows Reliability Monitor. There should be a report generated when P3D stopped working.

Thanks,

Thanks Paul,

The top image is taken from the P3Dv4 realism settings menu. It's much the same in P3Dv5, but without the blue.

For the error message in the second pic, it'll be quicker to get to the bottom of the issue if you can answer the questions I asked above.

By "modified the default scenario" I have you resaved it to launch a complex add-on such as the Connie as your default flight?

Yes I made Connie default flight. So after reading your suggestion I made another default with another aircraft, loaded it and then changed aircraft to Connie and still got that error.

Hello Paul,

Apologies for the delayed reply. Are you still seeing the error? If so, I'd recommend resetting your Prepar3D.cfg file (i.e. delete it so the sim generates a fresh copy). You could also try moving the files in "Documents\A2A\FSX\L049" to a temporary backup directory.

Thanks,
Nick
