The Prepar3d Forum

Can anyone recommend any good quality military aircraft for P3dv2? I only know of Milviz but I was wondering if there are any other options out there? Thanks.

Hi, I had Bacelona X installed with EMT in v2.0 without problems, now in v2.1 the sim doesn´t start anymore. I posted this already yesterday in the Aersoft forum and p3d forum but still no reply. Has anybody Barcelona X running in p3dv2.1? thanks regards Harry!

My question is pretty simple, is worth to buy P3D if I already own FSX? How would it improve my experience? Thanks in advance.

I thought it would be interesting to elucidate an answer to this question in a poll. Thanks in advance ;o)

Hi All, I'm loving V2.1 particularly the smoothness and lack of blurriness I have with FSX. I have noticed however that autogen comes into view at a reduced radius compared with V2.0. My question to the smart ones among us: Can anyone identify the textures for the cities, I'm really referring the night textures as P3D have designed their ground night textures to show or glow in the dark from a greater distance and I've even seen a red glow reflecting on the clouds at times. Problem is though I like FTX Global textures for everything else and would like to keep the P3D original city ground textures. Since I'm sure V2.1 autogen pop up radius has reduced I don't …

Hello, as the search didn't quite return anything useful and also not much on their web site, I'd like to know if anyone knows about the age of P3D's nav and facility data. IIRC FSX had a data base dated 2005. Is more current data included in P3D or do we still have the same old data? Thanks for any hint!

Since I live in Cincinnati Ohio , I have Mega Scenery Earth installed for Ohio. I also have ORBX GLOBAL / VECTOR installed. What's the simplest way to switch from MEGA EARTH Ohio to ORBX VECTOR ? Thanks

I was going to post my findings and thoughts in the 2.1 release thread, but seeing as how large it has become in addition that it seems to be getting out of hand in terms of people's opinions not exactly matching ^_^ , I thought I'd start my own. I was planning on waiting until the weekend to install 2.1, but I had some free time yesterday, plus the 2.1 full installer was burning a hole in my hard drive... I installed full 2.1, with a careful, thorough uninstall of 2.0 (including config folders) first. I also deleted my P3Dv2 NI profile as well. Once the default flight in the F-22 loaded up, I paused and went into the options to adjust a few sliders (FXAA off, f…

Hi all, I have been seeing trees, buildings, houses, etc in places where they don't belong, lakes, etc. It happens in most all scenery? Not sure, but I think it did this even before the update? Anyone got any ideas on this one? Hope so. Larry

time view and nav log are greyed out for some reason also, this is on top of water setting and visibility slider not having any effect. Hmm, this seems to have broken more than fixed for me. many thanks, terry

I'm currently considering making this jump but several factors are holding me back. Those being: - PMDG planes won't work - RXP GNS 430/530 - SweetFX - Ultimate Traffic 2 - OrbX Regions - It will greatly reduce the amount of 3rd party airplanes I can fly - Aerosoft airports But on the positive side of things, I will still be able to install and use FTX Global, FTX Global Vector, FS Global Ultimate meshes, EZdok. I really want to be able to pull the plug on FSX once and for all and start embracing P3D to it's fullest. But I will have to say goodbye to a few things in FSX that I will truly miss. But I guess it's that time that I let go of FSX. Would you guys …

At least that's the only thing I can think of that changed how the QW757 loads, and I can't find how to turn them back on! Worked great for weeks, having changed my default flight at all, so this is an odd issue. I could uninstall/reinstall it but I have to assume there is something else short of that to restore the plane loading (after choosing in Vehicles as I've always done) w/ engines running AND w/ avionics displaying. Help! Thanks, Noel

hi there, 2 things really, firstly, my water detail slider is greyed out and so cannot set it? and secondly, my visibility distance settings make no difference, they all show out to the horizon no matter what setting I use. any suggestions, thanks.terry

I received the following message: "The publisher of Prepar3D-v2_Academic 2.0.9448.0 to 2.1.9936.0 Patch msp couldn't be verified" How should I proceed? Thanks,

When the dust clears and you think you've got it installed as good as possible, tell us what you find compared to 2.0. There are so many annoyances it is becoming clearer to me it's best to not install this thing from a user experience point of view. One may enjoy helping move the product along by jumping in, but from what I read here it's not so clear if the user experience is really better or not. The autogen behavior sounds ominous, stutters for some, etc. Thanks in advance!

Some nice person posted this casually and wow this is the first I heard about this. I'm hear to tell you if hadn't already heard it's been possible to get FSX DX9 highest quality AA using Inspector with no performance cost all along (check it out RobA!). That's right! I've been outspoken about trying to get LM to work on this, in fact as you know they mention in the rendering FAQ there are inherent issues w/ DX11 and some AA settings and they were in some way working w/ NVidia to help resolve this. Well, nothing needs resolved! I can't tolerate FXAA as for my eye everything gets too soft verging on slightly blurry. So, give this a whirl and see what you get. I'm t…

HI All, First time poster, long time lurker. I am looking to upgrade FSX textures/environments and I have tried out the FTX Region Demo of Australia - it is AMAZING! I have also seen some footage of the PNW region and, again, mind blowing improvement. But then I noticed FTX Global and Vectors make a huge improvement on a world scale. Whilst I plan on flying my home country a lot (Australia) and the FTX Region for Australia looks phenomenal, I do want to option of going to international locations and not losing the same feeling. My question is.... Do the FTX Global + Vectors addons provide as good OR better scenery/landclass etc than the FTX Regi…

HI All. I had Hardly any problems with 2.0 and 2.1 is even better for me, but for the life of me I do not Remember the Descriptions when you hold your mouse over the clickspots, I could be wrong but I'm sure it would have annoyed me in 2.0 so the big Questions is , Does anyone know what i have to do to get rid of them ???? i might have missed something. The only other little bug i have found is the distance page on the GPS is stuck on 5 miles on someof my Carenado Planes but the Bouncing is gone so the trade off is more than well worth it. mb

I'm currently running a FX-8350 at 4.5ghz with a GTX770. I was wondering what kinda frames the folks with Haswell are getting in V2 with a processor OC'd to at least 4GHZ. I want to see if the FPS advantage is worth the $600 or so it'll cost to upgrade or if there isn't a real difference. Please post you settings as well. ADMIN Will you please leave this in the P3d section as it'll get lost in the CPU forum. It'd be good to have a benchmark of AMD vs Intel for every ones reference. Thanks David

Hi. As per the title, the plane works fine in v2.1, it's just that at night the VC is so dark that the instruments are unusable (this is with cabin light on). Also, while the cabin light does work but is nowhere near bright enough, the instrument lighting doesn't appear to work at all. Just hoping someone might know of a workaround. Thanks for any suggestions.

Hello everyone, Could someone please tell me the order I should have my scenery installed, if possible with a screenshot. I just need to know what order I should have things, for example normal airport scenery like Luton, the ORBX Global, then FS Global and so on? Screenshots of my current option - attached http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt49/AJLedbetter123/1_zps85f5322d.png http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt49/AJLedbetter123/2_zpsfe875ede.png http://i596.photobucket.com/albums/tt49/AJLedbetter123/3_zps5292893f.png Kind regards AJLedbetter123

Hey guys, I just wanted to let any P3D owners out there know that we over at msFlights.net are running a 24/7 multiplayer server to test out connectivity. If you would like to come test out P3D multiplayer join IP: 71.231.12.143 See ya in the skies! -Kalo-

Seeing something new with a fresh install of 2.1. In this first pic you can see a VX A320 which is correct. As we move closer, the texture is changed to that of a DL A320. This is just one example, but testing here I am seeing this occur whenever 2 AI aircraft that share the same model, in this case the A320 CFM model I am using, are in the area. The actual DL aircraft on the other side of LAX was swapping in VX textures in a similar fashion. Is this something on my end ? (before I post over at LM )
