The Prepar3d Forum

Ok....now I am thoroughly confuzed. I LOVE the quality of the eyecandy, of Prepar3d v2.0! But, several things are amiss in my ad-in scenery...below are comparisons. Photo-real scenery of Barbourville, KY WITH OVERLAYED WITH UTXusa, in V1.4 and V2.0(I used the new p3d Fsx2P3d v2 Estonia Migration tool...and reinstalled UTX in P3DV2) Note: When I got my first version of P3D, I directly copied ALL of my scenery files from FsX,(Scenery, Texture and ALL of my Add-In scenery)....containing many of the objects I created in Gmax, Here is the P3D v1.4 scenery order. With a tiny bit of tweaking, ALL of it was expressed in P3Dv1.4. the farm with the museu…

Anyone tried any old CFG tweaks from FSX in P3D2 yet? i.e things like texture_bandwith_multi= etc...? Ian

I can't figure out how come I don't have any autogen close to eddh ??.I have ftx global and most settings to the right in p3d. Any of you have the same problem ? This pict is taken at ft1320 in the iris jabiru : TIA

Hi Having fallen foul of the license activation model of P3D2, and considering the amount of tinkering/uninstalls etc that may be required with the present state of 3rd party addon support, has anyone considered backing up their activated copies of P3D? Are there any particular files that can be copied out and back in in the event a reinstall is required without having to rack up multiple activations on LM's servers? thanks

I installed the A2A P-51 using the migration tool after successfully playing with this in P3D 1.4. However, after my first flight I am not able to get the bird into the air. It continuously turns (in a relatively small circle) to the left no matter how much right rudder aand break I use. It seems like the torque is way too large in this version. Has anyone else had similar issues?

Got an OOM on approach to FlyTampa's CYUL with FTGX and UTX Canada installed. max LOD slider. Aerosoft's Airbus Extended. Too much AI via Traffic360 3.9G RAM and 3G VRAM used at time of crash Guess I shoul slide back on the LOD before aproach. At least you can do this in P3D, whereas not with FSX which required a restart

Does it matter the order I install them? Thanks in advance.

It doesn't start...and I get that error message. What could be the problem? I am running a Nvidia 660 ti, all my drivers are updated! Frustrating! Found the problem, I have multiple screens attached...disabled it and now it is able to generate scenery file indexes....oh LM....is this a beta product you've released? I hope you fix the bugs!

Does anyone with this care to give it a try and let me know? It's currently on sale & something I've always thought of getting, however at this point I'm sure that I'm only buying add-ons which I know (or have a fair bit of confidence about) will work in P3D. If someone cares to try it out and let me know, I'd be much obliged. ^_^

Hello I am a new fan of flight sims, started around 3 weeks ago. Decided to buy Logitech Extreme 3D Pro and FSX Gold Edition to check if this is what I want to do. I tried many sim games before and became quite profficient in them, so needed a new challenge - and heard that flying is a way to go. And it was indeed. After 3 weeks I finished FSX Flying School, got through some missions (although I am totally not into stuff like this) and discovered best thing I could - Free Flights. Not long after that I already equipped myself with REX + OD, FTX GLOBAL and GSX, now I am also waiting for Saitek Flight Yoke System with rudder pedals and Autopilot gauges from Saitek …

Is anyone else seeing these white clouds at night?

.......every time someone get's a OOM with P3D2, they post about it. :smile: That not's a criticism; just an observation that because P3D2 is so new, and because the user base is currently so small, we get to hear about almost every single OOM. Have we forgotten how many people are experiencing OOMs with FSX all around the world!? :lol: ........ there is probably an OOM happening in FSX at any given time, somewhere in the world. My point is not to pick on FSX, but simply to put some context to OOMs: either platform can OOM because of the 32 bit limitations that we know so well. P3D2 will, I believe, prove to OOM a lot less than FSX does, but as ever, that …

Bummer that Reality XP is not compatible which means the sub par stock GPS units included with the GA aircraft is the only option right now for GPS navigation. Does anyone know of any add-on GPS avionics that are compatible with P3dv2? Thanks

Nothing new here but I just (finally) did my first complete flight (after only testing and so on up to now). Before I took off I installed the Norwegian freeware because default landclass in Norway sucks big time. I already flew there during my testing but with FTX Global and default landclass. So I installed the whole lot and did a short flight. Boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy oh boy... I was smiling all the way through!!! The shadows in the VC (talking about immersion and the idea of LIGHT!), the autogen as far…

I'm a long-time user of MyTraffic and just bought the FSX to P3D upgrade. But, I found out that the installer in the upgrade does not work in 2.0 and it may not be fixed until April. (I don't have a 1.4 installation that I can move to 2.0) I can wait, but wonder if there are any other traffic programs that work well in 2.0?

hi guys, actually i am not sure if it is ftxg promlem or not. when i start a fligt in a airport, i see diamond shaped textures over the airport textures. which conflict may cause this problem? if you look at the pic below, you gotta understand what i mean

I don't know if it is P3DV2 related but i don't had it in FSX and as far as i can remeber don't had it in P3D 1.4. Creating a new Camera View is only possible for Virtual Cockpit. When i Switch to "Aircraft" the P3D Camera don't Switch to external and stays in VC. That happens with all planes and even activate/deactivate camera funktion (to rewrite the camera in aircraft.cfg) in OpusFSX don't help. Does anyone have the same Problem ? Greez

if I am not in full-screen mode and select Options|Setting|Display the pop-up window is too big for my 1440 * 900 monitor and the OK and Cancel buttons are not visible. Dragging the window shows the top half of the buttons but, on releasing the mouse the window snaps back to its original position. there is no problem in full-screen mode. if I select Map in flight (World|Map) then click OK Prepare3D shows a pop-up while it reloads scenery objects, terrain data, and air traffic control every time.

This has been mentioned here and there in other threads but I just wanted to underline the point. I can't speak for every user, but for me (and I suspect other ATI users at least), the Frame Rate Slider (lock) in P3D has a dramatic effect on FPS. Setting any value at all (but especially lower values like 30) really dramatically reduces frame rates for me. Setting UNLIMITED adds about 50% to FPS. Eg..... Majestic Q400, in heavy weather with medium settings, in a payware airport:- With FPS locked in P3D at 30: Average FPS = 24.9 With FPS locked in P3D at 24: Average FPS = 21.5 With FPS locked in P3D at 60: Average FPS = 26 With FPS set to U…

I have followed the avsim forums and the official prepar3d forum for a week now. Conclusion: prepar3d v2 is still in beta-stage, just like in the beginning fsx and pmdg 737ngx and 777 where in beta. (pmdg777 still is) That's the way it has to be, the more people use it, the more the bugs and flaws will come to the surface. It's a mather of time, probably 6 months or longer before most of the problems are solved. Those who use Prepar3D v2 right now are in fact still beta-testers. It's still :angry:and :unsure:and :angry:and :wub:and sleepless nights! :( I decided to stay with FSX for at least 6 months untill you guys have it all sorted out :lol: Then, thanks to yo…

Anyone know how to do this? My installation drive is D: best I can tell using the auto installer goes to the default FSX directory, can I just copy the dll file to somewhere in the prepar3d root? if so, where? I still have no joystick...

I have a bizarre problem with the Saitek multi-panel in P3Dv2. The landing gear lever, engine rotary switch, and switches for avionics and fuel pump work fine, but the switches for controlling aircraft lights are doing something very strange... Specifically, in the FSX C-172 (ported to P3Dv2 by simply copying over the aircraft folder), when I toggle switches on the multi-panel I can see the appropriate switches moving in the VC. What's strange is that the aircraft lights aren't responding correctly even though the VC switches toggle correctly in response to the multi-panel input. Most of the light switches have no effect on the aircraft lights. The switch for the lan…

I like the cloud reflections on the water but I feel like it's a bit overdone at times. Rather than turning it off altogether is there a scalar of some sort or an adjustment value in the .cfg?

If you are like me you might be wondering if Orbx "Non-Global" Scenery and Airports will work in P3d2. (not supported by Orbx BTW) With the help of Jerome I got my Orbx to install and even patch in P3d2. http://tinyurl.com/ptqdlke My findings: Works better for Scenery than it does for Airports. 1st - Airports: At least from the ones I own - You can see allot of bleed through of the P3d2 airport. In someways and on some airports no big deal really. Especially in Alaska. I put down the wavy bumps beside the runway as snow piled up by the snow plows. What would be nice is to figure out how to disable those default airports or even if that is possible or …

I use TH2Go in P3D and it works well. In full screen mode i have 34-35 fps (locked to 35 oin P3D), but I have picture only on one screen. When I switch to window mode I have the picture stretched over all three screens BUT the fps drops to under 20. What have I done wrong? Jack the Swede in Spain
