Initial thing would be to hop into the Tools menu of Nthusim and send me a copy of the diagnostics log. That'll help me diagnose what the blocker is on it working. I currently only have P3D 2.5 installed. I'll update to 3.0 in the next day or so in order to help diagnose things on my end. I'll use my Nvidia GTX770 machine, which should behave similar to your setup.

Ok....I figured out a fix for now...
Start Nthusim
Start Prepar3dv3
on opening Scenario Setup go to bottom left and click load....
on Load Scenario Page un-check default then click ok
Prepar3dv3 will then load terrain data
once terrain data loads...select your vehicle, world options.....then off you go

other tips per Nvidia support
press Windows Key + R together and type %temp% and press ok...in that window press Ctrl+A to select all files and folders..then press Shift +Delete to remove
them. (leave few files which you are not able to delete)
in windows search type in msconfig.exe....click selective startup...uncheck load startup items...click services tab...check hide all microsoft services box
click disable all...now re-enable only the Nvidia services...click ok...restart computer

open Nvidia control panel>3d settings>manage 3d settings>global settings
set these and click apply
a. power management mode-prefer maximum performance
b. vertical sync-off
c. threaded optimization-off
d.triple buffering-off
set these settings and click apply

turn off windows firewall and anti-virus (if any)

Some of the suggestions seem a bit odd, like turn off firewall? Anti-virus false positive might be one thing at issue. Which anti-virus do you use?

Will attempt to reproduce the issue in the next day or so and walk through the potential solutions to see what seems to work.

I just saw P3D 3.1 is now out? Does that add any new changes or issues?
