A few days ago we informed you that some PMDG users were experiencing issues with their aircraft in Prepar3D v4.2. Some people were experiencing a crash to desktop or a black screen when loading up one of their aircraft.
Today, PMDG has issued a hotfix to combat these issues. If you head to your PMDG Ops Center now, you will see a notification pop up to say you can now update. It’s important to read the instructions on how via the update.
This small fix will make some changes to P3Dv4.2 to ensure its compatible. If you’re still using V3 of the sim, it will also make a few changes there to keep commonality amongst all PMDG products.
They did say that if you use add-ons that modifies panel entries, then they advise that you resist from using them as it could be causing the CTD. PMDG said that you will need to re-install the product to a pre-update build. It is suggested that FS2Crew may be causing many users to experience the crashing (I’m using a vanilla copy of 4.2 with the 747 only and still experiencing it personally).
PMDG are working with Lockheed Martin to resolve the problem going forward, but they say it will be likely included in a future 4.3 update.
You can read the whole post on their forums.
