Re: P3D v4 compatibility

Ok, even after replacing the scenery.cfg my P3Dv4 continous to crash the moment the plane should appear in the main menue. Interestingly, also the map is blank, no airports, no navaids, nothing is shown. And then in the eventlog, it is still the facilities.dll causing the crash obviously.
EDIT: ok, something still seems to corrupt my scenery.cfg each time I fire up Prepar3d. I monitored the scenery.cfg during start of the sim, first, it was my backup with the correct entries, then, about 10 seconds before the sim loaded up the start menue, the scenery.cfg is replaced by the corrupted one. Where does it get it? Which software is started to replace it? I am lost...
EDIT: thankfully not for long. I realized that only replacing the correct scenery.cfg makes a difference. When replacing the scenery.cfg within \ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4 with the backup one, everything is back to normal. Thank god. Now I hope the next installer will be ok, and please also include in the uninstaller that those .xml entries are considered...
