The Prepar3d Forum

Hey Everyone... I seem to be having a throttle/joystic issue. I use the sidewinder 2 inside of P3D. The throttle control ''works'', but wont go to full power and will not go to zero power. It kinda stops before each. Now, I know I can use F1 and F4 for this, but has anyone else run into this issue and found a way to make it work? I've tried the null zone settings and still don't get any change. Thanks in advance!

I don't have the hybrid box. I've got the options; Default, Europe North America and Global.

Hello, I have been researching Prepar3d and I'm looking at buying an academic licence for $49.95. I have a couple of questions before buying though. 1. Is it a new and stable platform or is it basically FSX? 2. Are PMDG add-ons supported within P3D? 3. What is the difference that makes P3D so great? Thank you very much in advance.

In case you don't frequent the AVSIM Orbx forum....worth a quick post in the FSX forum before any mention gets buried on the latest forum post information links.... http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/65057-ftx-global-freeware-airports-na-pack-1/

With FSXGlobal and Global Vector and Open LC all coming from Orbx I decided to invest in Pilot's FSGlobal Ult mesh. It pays to check out different vendors. The Simmarket Asia/Orient 46.21EU Europe/Africa 46.81EU The Americas 42.00EU Shipping 11.00EU Total 146.64EU OR 196.49 USD The Flightsim Store Asia/Orient 74.95AUD Europe/Africa 74.95AUD The Americas 99.95AUD Shipping 30.00AUD Total 279.85AUD OR 263.44USD That's a 66.95USD savings. Enough for a couple more Orbx airports.

can some one please help? i cant seem to get fxaa to work, i see no difference between windowed mode and full screen knowing that in only works in full screen!

I just Installed it.What did I do wrong? How can I fix this!!

Hi all, First: For users that like to let the simulator minimized and browsing the web, this is not a solution. I have been amazed by the visual quality of the ENB tweak. Particularly I am using the ENBPlus Natural tweak from Tim at REX Forums. The only problem is that many abandon the ENB due to the crashes when switching from window mode to full screen mode. Because I was so amazed by this tweak and couldn't think of not using it, I tried to find a method in order to avoid crashes. I will not present a method in order to switch between window and fullscreen all the time. The system is prone to crashes if the user is switching all the time. However, If yo…

Hi New to Prepar3d been away from (MS) flight sim for a long time. I only fly the Airbus... But what add-ons should I get... ??? Please enlighten me !!! Henrik

Orbx has released a FTX Global Vector to complement FTX Global and openLC. I am an FSGenesis user and have 3 questions: (1) Are those Oxbx products compatible with FSGenesis? (2) If I install those Orbx products would I be writing on top of the FSX scenery files making it impossible to get back to the plain FSX scenery? (3) Can I still add new sceneries (like mega-airports) on top of the Orbx products?

This morning, I have been flying over the states of West Virginia around KMRB, and am flying over the state using Orbx's FSXG. Ok, having typed that....can anybody answer for me, how ORBX is pulling this off? I have scenery below me (forests on the mountains and their valleys) that at 2,500 feet, you can almost make out the actual branches and their foliage. How in the WORLD has ORBX pulled this off....and with absolutely no hit to my FPS. I've been in this a long time...and as you all know, the more complex (visual acuity) the scenery becomes, the FPS have historically dived into the dumpster. How has ORBX managed to achieve what FSXG renders, and NO HIT TO FP…

Hi all, I am using an i5 3570K overclocked system (4.5Ghz) and Prepar3D. My Graphics card is the Asus nvidia GTX660 I have a tweaked .cfg file according to the tuning guide of P3D. My problem is that in 50% of the flights I do, after approximately 2 hours of flight a shuttering is starting with a 1Hz frequency (every 1 second the frames stop and go). This is really frustrating as you can imagine as it ruins the flight. Actually if I leave the problem and continue the flight it became worse (more milliseconds pausing when frames stop) and eventualy the sim will crash giving me a CTD. I tried deleting the .cfg and letting the sim to recreate it, then add…

... or, "What's the replacement 'Default' mode exactly?" Now that I've installed FTXG, I notice that each of the tickmark options for Global mode [trees | hybrib | vector lights] has its own changes to the main texture / autogen definition files. In days past, if I wanted to install a non-ORBX airport or regional scenery package, I knew to set FTX Central to "Default" and to verify that the proper versions of the definition files were restored. Easy enough. Today though feels different. I get it that I should be in FTX Global mode, but which of its options should I enable before I install something else? Does it really matter if my new install clobbers one …

Anytime that I run FTX Central to change or reapply regions, the next time that I run FSX I will get this error: "SCENERY.CFG file error. Invalid Remote scenery path in scenery Area.253. Click OK to continue." When I examine the Scenery Library, the entry between ORBX!OPENLC_BASE and FTXAA_AIRPORTS is blank. When I delete that entry, FSX will run without an error. I also noticed that the scenery library entry for KHQM (Bowerman) was missing. I added KHQM back to the scenery library. As long as I don't run FTX Central, I won't get the error on running FSX and the entry for KHQM will stay in the scenery library. When I run FTX Central, the entry for KHQM will disapp…

Hi, I have just discovered the ENB tweaks I am really amazed! The problem I face is that the beautiful ENBPlus Natural tweak from timest999 (from the free Stuff section of the REX forums) , is crashing my P3D uppon startup. However it is working randomly roughly 1 in 10 times I try to start P3D. Of course if I remove the d3d9.dll etc files, P3D starts normaly. The error I get in the Event Viewer is : Faulting application name: Prepar3D.exe, version: 1.4.4747.0, time stamp: 0x50253a53 Faulting module name: d3dx9_26.dll, version: 9.7.239.0, time stamp: 0x42964b01 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x00103193 Faulting process id: 0x10d4 Faultin…

I'm feeling very lonely, as I seem to be the only P3D user on the planet with this issue (found no solutions on the LM P3D forum). Maybe I'll get lucky over here. P3D (V1.4 Pro) works beautifully in Single Session (no IG) mode, but when I initiate a multi-channel Master session (Slave does not need to be started), no control input, from hardware controllers or mouse, are recognized on the Master, i.e., no input is communicated to P3D, no control surface movements are displayed on the aircraft (default Mooney Bravo used for testing). All hardware controllers are still detected and can be calibrated via the OS, but are not seen by the sim. The Slave PC monitors (…

Me podeis decir como se instala el Tileproxy en el Prepard3D Saludos

Im gonna ask here first..... How do I go about using OpusFSX on Prepare3d? Same with REX Essential Plus? I have both installed for FSX but want to use it on the other sim. Do I need a separate license, or what? Thanks, and again, if this has been asked a million times, I apologize. Never mind... figured it out.

Hey everyone, I have got some exciting news to share, I am almost there with Set and Forget settings for my P3D - I am in my final stages of testing (hopefully a document should be posted on avsim - with tons of screenshots, and Prepar3D.config settings etc) – while avoiding major OOM CTDs when simming. There is no way I was able to achieve this fluid level of performance with FSX (especially with my i5-750 system). I tried every trick in the book for FSX, without buying new hardware, and minimizing my tweak time with P3D config. I wanted performance with triple screen. Once you sim in triple screen, you can’t go back to single screen. As for software, I do…

Now that the community found a solution to the UTX vector lights incompatibility, has anyone looked at which textures could be used to replace the non-matching custom UTX ones with stock ORBX ones? I would imagine it should be as simple as copying existing ORBX textures over UTX customs ones (industrial, parking lots etc.) so that they would not stand out so much. You would obviously loose some of the representation that UTX was going for but I would rather lose that then live with the stark contrast.

I use DX10 for all my day flying and DX9 for my night flying. Today on my approach into KSFO I noticed all these black squares which I'm guessing are street lamps. I thought that the lighting in global was supposed to be DX10 compatible and I thought it turned off in the day apparently not since I'm getting these black squares everywhere. If the lights are always active I guess that would explain my 4-5 FPS loss since installing global. To get my sim at halfway decent frames again I've had to lower my FTF to .15 and everything is pretty blurry till I get right on it. The textures look nice but I thought Orbx said the lights worked with DX10?

as its less than 24 hours until we get out hands on ver 1.4 i thought i would make this thread. Please can you post your comments and thoughts on version 1.4, we dont know to much about it at this time other than 2 new aircraft and bug fixes and performance improvements. If you hate it please explain what you dont like, so please dont just say its rubbish and can the trolls please stay away from this thread as i dont want this thread to go down hill, if it goes that way then i will ask the forum mods to lock the thread or remove the posts. All i have learnt about 1.4 is two new aircraft, the Mooney Acclaim (from Lionheart Creations ) and T-6 Texan (from IRIS F…
