AIFP issue

Post by Jorgen »

Today I am having an issue with AIFP that has left me scratching my head.

Last I used AIFP was 2 days ago, and then it worked just fine. When I started it today, it did as it normally does, scanning P3D v. 5 for files and showing the screen that Don's site is offline. I click OK to that screen, and the scanning files screen completes.

But - the title bar in AIFP remains greyed out, the computer's fans go into high gear and nothing else happens. When I look in Task Manager, AIFP is using 8.7 % CPU, and it is adding RAM to itself in about 30 MB chunks every second. This goes on and on and on....

I terminated AIFP from Task Manager, deleted it and installed a fresh copy. Same result. A cold reboot, same result. Went through system image restore with DISM and sfc /scannow. Same result.

Everything else I have tried so far on this system has worked OK, as far as I can see. P3D runs fine, and AI traffic is present on the airfields I have checked.

Does anyone have an idea of what might be happening here and how to fix it - or where to go for further assistance? Since Martin has AIFP for download, I figured I would ask here first....

Just checked mine to be sure, 3.4.3.15 fired up as normal and opened P3Dv5 .bgls.

Problem found and eliminated.

An installer assumed that I would have my scenery entries in their default location, and put corresponding entries in my scenery.cfg.

But in my installation they go somewhere else...

Lorby's P3D Addon Organizer was an invaluable help in solving this issue.
