Otter and Beaver cause P3D v4 to close right after loading!

[Habib]

Hello,

I bought both planes at Flight Sim Store, but unfortunately, neither works. I followed the instructions and I am very careful to have a very clean install on P3D v4 - meaning I do not have bloatware and only install addons that are fully compatible with v4.

I have ORBX, ActiveSky, Traffic Live, GTN750/650 and several Carenado, Alabeo, PMDG planes, and scenery - Flightbeam, FS Dreamteam, etc. - see point above about my install approach.

I only sim on this I7 7500K 1080Ti pc Win 10 just in case.

Launching the Otter and Beaver cause P3D to just close instead of loading. Install went fine without issues though. I tried starting P3D with a default plane, and switching vehicle..same unsuccessful result...P3D just closes.

I'm including the receipt from Flight Sim Store.

Thanks for your help!

Habib

Hello , My apologies for the delay , I had misread the reply .

I would suspect a module at play here and would ask you to run the MVAMS with standard panel no WX selected and then save , then run P3DV4.

Let me know if you see the same ctd please .

Hello CJ,

Disabling the Weather Radar allows he Beaver and Otter to load; however, the Autopilot does not not work at all. I just purchased and installed the 310R...and the Autopilot does not work either.

Any assistance will help.

Thanks!

What version of P3Dv4 are you running? v4.1 or v4.2?

Hi Habib

Are you sure the AP doesn't work - you need to press the AP button for several seconds before it will engage.

[Habib]

Duh... silly me...I was treating it like an on/off button with one click...it now works after holding it down a few seconds s you mentioned...thanks! I tried on the 310R, I will try on the Beaver and Otter and hope everything works.

I appreciate the help!

Thanls.

Still wish to solve your WX shutdown though. Need the exact version of v4 you are using.

[Habib]

Thanks for the follow up.

See my P3D version...4.0.28.21686
Also, I downloaded the new version of the 310R; now even without the WX module, the 310R causes my P3D to close after a few mns in flight with or without GTN 750/650 on.

Any help will be appreciated.

You will need to update to P3D v4.2.

4.0 is rather out of date
