Hi mate and welcome. First off locate your p3d.cfg and rename it. Then restart flyinside and p3d letting it build a new config for you. Ensure sli isn't enabled if you have it and also ezdok isn't supported. And also please post your system specs and windows version please :)

The could not write error usually comes from an incomplete previous unistall of p3d with some bits and bobs left over. If you have reinstalled it recently then there may be conflicts.

Hello again!

Now i´m really pissed. I formated all drives and did a complete reinstall of Prepar3D and the same message showed up.

It will take 6 hours to install all that stuff again! :-(

Sorry you went through a reinstall :shock:

I believe this error is the result of an internationalization bug. Try adding a windows account with no accent characters in the name (so only A-Z), and see if you can run FlyInside from that account.

A fix for this bug is in the works. My apologies for the inconvenience.
