Anyone get FSG Real Weather to work? I can't.

Hi All, new here although I have been a Sim Head for years. I decided to wait on the version 2 release and just purchased, however I purchased the Academic Version and its currently downloading. I think I already regret not buying the Pro Version. I'm a licensed pilot who has been inactive for several years and I use Flight Sim to keep the brain active. Does anyone know if you can upgrade from Academic to Pro? BTW 170kb on my download speed, serious throttling going on..

Firstly well done to LM on bandwidth, I was able to download at full speed in less than an hour. Also the autogen is great in terms of density and transistion. One problem I've run into that I've not seen for an age is regular stutters. In FSX DX10, with Inspector and all, the stutters were virtually gone and then just once in a while. However particular when I'm looking over the wing to the left or right they are occurring frequently. Frame rate is locked at 30fps and it stays at that, Vsync is checked and I don't see any tearing. This look for all the world like the stutters I had in FSX until Nvidia fixed vsync in their driver. Something to do with 1/2 monito…

Where can I find some multiplayer fun for P3D V2 (like eastern hops)? Thanks Also, anyone else notice you cant exit the multiplayer screen without shutting P3D down? Alt-f4 works sometimes.

I have error in install of Prepar3D V2, but the game is Ok see picture... I am sorry but I am a french man (50 yr)

It's in Prepar3D v2.0? Thanks

Hey, Everyone check out the General Performance Tuning Section. They really have very few tweaks listed and they provide a very clear explanation about the core uses (which one can change if he/she desires to). For me one thing is certain (user to user it may vary) is that P3D2 settings are very different from fsx/p3d14. Did anyone play with Time Preview - this is awesome when seeing time change in seconds (I wish I can hide the preview dialog window). Awesome eyecandy Later, skywolf

Hi all, I understand there is a beta file available to make it compatible for P3D. My question is, are we able to have EZCA work for both FSX and P3D? I want to keep both versions and need the ability to go from FSX to P3D. Not too sure how to go about it.... Thank you in advance John.

I got a nvidia surround setup supported by two gtx 580 1,5gb gpu`s. I know that p3d is not supporting sli at this point, but still.. i am getting very poor performance whit a average of 10 - 20 fps whit all the eye candy either off or way down. Btw my cpu is running @ 4,6 ghz whit HT off. Anyone out there who have a good stable stutter free experience whit triple monitors? I am in that case curios to hear what hardware and in game settings you are using. I was hoping to take advantage of 3D vision to, but that is unfortunately not working at all.

Hello, My deaf friend ask me, about Upgrade to P3D v2. I know not. Request to Price of Upgrade P3D v2??? Yes or no?? He buy last mounth P3D v1! Thanks regard sebastian

Ok so I exited p3d V2 after its first use. Later when I rentered the sim it was running but I was just seeing black. The only fix I found was to delete the cfg and let p3d build a new one. I tried again changing settings and got the same result on the start ups past the first with the new cfgs. So I started trying every graphics setting building one on top of the other thinking that one of the settings was the cause but it wasn't. I finally found the cause and that is exiting in full screen mode. So if you have this issue comming back to windowed mode everytime before you exit will keep this issue from appearing. My video card is a GTX660TI running the latest certif…

Lockheed has released version 2 of Prepar3D (P3D). You can view the optional versions and purchase this new release on the P3D store here: http://www.prepar3d.com/prepar3d-store/. We look forward to reader's comments and early feedback on this release. You can participate in discussions regarding this release in the P3D General Forum. This post has been promoted to an article

We need solid, quantifiable performance numbers for P3D v2. I don't know if P3D can open the same situation files as FSX. If it can, just use FSXMark 11 for now and we can work on an up-to-date benchmark for P3D later.

Seems so, even with latest version "f" ... Pete Dowson is on holiday... if anybody has a solution, please let us know!

Is the professional version such that you can still install it and use it even if LM decides to pull the plug for some reason (not meeting profit targets, corporate restructure, etc). I guess I mean is it activated once and that's it, so I could keep using it on the same hardware?

Is this any newer, or different than the FSX Global patch of 1.10 we already have from the FSX Support site?

Does this happen automatically in P3D with Vsync set to on or do I have to enable 1/2 refresh rate in the nvidia settings?

Dear all, Just a quick question, anybody can share the performance of 512MB graphics card FPS performance? I need to know this before pruchase V2.. B/Regards..Alex Ooi

Hot off the presses, PMDG's Robert Randazzo has just announced their intent to release the B777, 737NGX, and B747-400 V2 for P3D V2. Expected release first quarter 2014. http://forum.avsim.net/topic/426978-pmdgs-p3d-development-status-fact-thread-updated-25nov13/ Regards

Today I received an e-mail from LM releasing me from the NDA agreement when we at RAZBAM joined the Beta Test. Today Beta 4 was released. It is the final beta before production release and we are now authorized to post pictures and talk about Prepar3D v 2.0 everywhere we want to. The main news is that Prepar3D will be released in November. The Prepar3D website will be updated on Nov 18th. Gotta go. I'm downloading the Beta 4 as I type this.

OK, What is the in sim difference between Professional and academic license if any, and sorry before hand if it is obvious.

I thought I would provide a link to a beta tester who provided some very nice screenshots. Enjoy. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.727416847271779.1073741838.594476197232512&type=1

I give, what's the real difference? It seems like mission-building might distinguish pro and academic, but it seems a bit cryptic. Any ideas?

Hello Just wanted to post that if we show the menu bar in window mode (to use my 5040x1050 res, because in full screen don't let me use it) I have a frame drop. Big one. Once I press the Alt key.. it is gone.
