A couple of tips - Don't use any WX radio stack , you will get a CTD.

The PC-6 uses a LOT of VRAM and that cannot be fixed, in my experience 6GB will barely do it, 8GB is ideal. You can disable Trueglass, that can help a bit.

I don't show you as a registered user of the Beaver and Otter so you can't see those support sections. If you email me your purchase details to steve@milviz.com I can verify and give you access.

64 .0 GB Installed Ram
2080 TI Graphics Card 11GB GDDR6
Should be enough

Even though the installer will run with admin privilege's - on some peoples system it may not due to high UAC settings or antivirus so everything doesn't get installed properly. It's always a good idea to right click/run as admin so the installer can do it's job. Also run your MVAMS as admin - if you don't changes may not save properly either, if you had a GPS stack with WX it would have led to a crash.

Glad you got her flying.

Yes that must have been my problem
I did my final install from a download where Anitivirus and Firewall were disabled
The final uninstall was done by running installer and using the “Remove” option ie a clean uninstall
So using very best practice it worked
Usually I do all this as per your advice but was more particular this last time
I always use Admin Privilege
Just took more care with the Porter!
