The Prepar3d Forum

And it is quite serious one. After installing the patch, the whole content of ORBX folder is wiped! Every single file except FTX Central. During the installation all the files were there, and the moment after the installation finished the files are gone. I installed FTX Global again, and I'm currently on 1.0 until this issue is solved. Any suggestions?

A few of the FSX aircraft that I've tried to import into P3d worked fine except that the VC clickspots do not work. anyone have any idea how to go about correcting that without completely rebuilding the model? Vic

Not sure about USA yet but in Canada FTXG fall colors are nice see pic Monitor res is 3600x1920 in eyefinity

I have the A2a 172 and in level flight, with the perfectly clear weather checked, it pulls to the left in a strong manner. Setting the P-factor and Torque slider to any setting does not seem to make any difference. I have watched the raw values from my rudder pedals and yoke and they are not any different during flight than with any other aircraft. Re-calibrated several times with built-in calibration and CH Products calibration. ???? I can fly the A2A Cub straight and level ok in locked "perfect" weather.

Hi folks, For many many months, P3d has ran flawlessly. After several busy days, I fired up P3D, it opened, then immediately went to a minimized smaller screen, then shut down. I looked at the "details" and it showed: APPCRASH Prepar3D.exe 1.5.5757.0 05253a53 Fault Module Name: StackHash_0a9e 0.0.0.0 00000000 Execution Code: c0000005 1. I rebooted computer - no change 2. I deleted the config file to build a new one - no change 3. I searced google and it said to turn off DEP - P3d does not allow that 4. Removed entries in Modules Folder - no change 5. Removed 1/2 of my aircraft - restar…

hi all, can anyone tell me if using Orbx Global does it also render the cities as close to the real world? or is Orbx only a landclass addon?

For the past hour or so, I have been flying over parts of Michigan that I hang out in real life, along the I-75 corridor. I have been playing around with all sorts of combinations of the following two scenery sliders; Scenery Complexity and Auto Gen I have been trying out combinations of the two at both normal, both Very Dense, and both at Extremely Dense settings. I then flew over terrain that I am most familiar with in the real world. Both at one higher or one lower than the other, as working combinations also...etc. First of all, and again, Orbx's FSX Global Scenery was (IMO) the most dramatic changeover, since I have purchased FSX. Absolutely. It has…

Hi all New to FTX and just bought EGHI and also FTX Global. The EGHI install file says I need EU England? Is this the case or does FTX Global do the job? Thanks Matt

Guys, Today successfully install PMDG 737-800 NGX into P3D at my 21"iMac into bootcamp, just notice 737NGX show much better performance in P3D. Fly from KSFO to KLAX, feel so smooth from cockpit to outside view of the plane. P3D perform much stable & smoother even though the frame rates is show 23 in cockpit. Outside view of plane show constantly FPS in 30frames per second. P3D is the future of flight simulator....waiting for P3D V2.0. B/Regards...Alex Ooi

I am getting a weird website instead of the usual ORBx homepage. Anyone else?

Beautiful scenery. The usual Orbx top notch quality. I am having one problem though. The fantastic grass they made is showing up in the parking area in front of the terminal and around the GA parking areas but not elsewhere as depicted in the product screenshots. I've read the manual and adjusted my settings accordingly. Any ideas? -Bob

This is all getting WAY too difficult to manage. Between having FTX Global, UTX, Scenery Tech LC, and FS Global 2010... how the hell is one supposed to make all of these work? Can someone out there tell me how all of the above should be arranged in the scenery library, if any boxes should be unchecked to avoid conflict, and if Scenery tech is even needed? Im also reading posts where people are having to make big changes in their UTX files in order to get FTX Vector lighting to work... I'm getting a headache over all of this.

Well, just purchased and installed Ftx Global with no issues and have been playing around with it for a few days. I have all UAC controls off in Windows (7 64bit). My issue relates to autogen buildings. They don't seem to look anything like the various screenshots I've seen and in fact, many look just like the default FSX buildings I've been staring at for years. I can tell that it's installed and working as I can definitely tell the difference in ground textures and autogen flora. One of the major reasons I purchased the product is for a more realistic urban environment. Am I missing something? Any thoughts and ideas welcome.

Hi All I have blocks of repeating textures in FTX Global like you get when FSX default is enabled - although they are FTX textures and not FSX default. Is this normal? It doesn't bother me, I just want to make sure it's normal and I don't have something screwy going on with my install. This pic was taken in Bosnia. Thanks

Does P3D model all the airspace types shown in the SDK? I ask because FSX doesn't. It only models those with entries in the Text and Line columns in the attachment. In particular, it doesn't model Class A airspace.

Topic says it all.

So we know the T7 won't work, but, that may not be so bad. Let me explain, Both FSX and P3D have a problem when too many large programs are used during flight, the "out of memory" issue. Why not enjoy all your add-ons, just not at the same time, and without adding and deleting scenery for each flight. For commercial flying, I will use FSX, PMDG's aircraft and a few add-on airports, without ORBX, photoscenery and other memory hogs. Most of the flight is spent in the cockpit anyway. Then for GA aircraft, like the new A2A C172, I'll use P3D and ORBX add-ons and similar products in an environment where we do look around quite a bit. I don't wish to do myriad tweaks on FSX jus…

P3d is my FS OF CHOICE, but, until LM or PMDG changes their EULA, I WANT THE BEST... And that seems to mean: 1. I want the PMDG T3 and; 2. I need to re-install FSX to do that, and; 3. I want to run P3d when not flying PMDG's products. Givens: I have the NGX and about 160GB OF P3d/FSX ADDONS. I also have the Estonia migration tool. Should we start a new thead "Flying P3d & RETRO-fitting FSX to work with PMDG PRODUCTS"? DONE! Here...today... Mission: What common files/ procedures can we implement/share between FSX and P3d to minimize resources such as disk space,memory and cost, thus optimizing the FSX-PMDG/P3d-everything else, experience? …

G'day all, I have found someone who will teach me to PROPERLY fly the A2A Cessna C-127 Trainer. Has any one tried the shared aircraft mode please and what do I/we need to know to set it up? We both have P3D and the C-127 installed on good rigs. I have watched the LM video but that seems to indicate formation flying, not shared cockpit. Thanks, Mac

Hi Everyone, I have a problem with Flightsim Estonia's FSX to PREPAR3D Migration Tool. I want to uninstall the migration tool. If I do that, I get the message: Error: virtual Folder still present. Run FSX to P3D Tool to delete it. If I run the Migration Tool I get the message: A previous version of FSX to Prepar3D Migration Tool is installed. Click OK to uninstall it before proceeding. I get the following message when I press OK: Fatal error: failed to copy uninstaller. It then exits, how do I remove this from my system registry? Right now, I can't uninstall or reinstall. Thank you Mike

I'm considering getting ORBX PNW and some of their airports. After all the discussion about the release of FTX Global without an uninstaller I've got to ask: Do the ORBX PNW and ORBX airport software packs come with uninstallers? I've done a search of this website and a google net search and could not find an answer. Ted

I know PMDG has stated that the 777 is for FSX only, but the 737NGX does work with P3d. Early days but can anyone confirm if 777 works in P3D. Thanks

I have been flying over and trying to cover the whole of the State of Michigan, USA. I am amazed at the actual diversity and combination of textures where ever you fly within FSXG. I don't even think of this sim as even 'FSX'...any longer. The diversity is so, that you can fly in any direction at 2,800 feet and never feel you are now checker boarding, and flying over 'recycled' terrain. I normally fly at 3,500-5,500 feet in G.A Mode, but have so delighted in the detail of FSXG, that I am now pretty much at 2,800 ft. I was flying towards a farm on the northwest section of Michigan a few minutes ago, and as I approached the property, and its out buildings, I observed so…

I suggest you try in nVidia Inspector; 1. Turn on Vertical Sync Smooth AFR Behavior to 'on'. 1. Go from a Frame Pre-Render of 3, to the max...8 Use the clean install option for the brand new 326.80 driver suite. Getting 30 FPS busting performance with my locked 30 fps internal. My flight environment is the same as what I posted in the CTD forum. Outstanding performance, smoothness, and program endurance. I run the above with a GTX 680 2 GB. Using these settings gives a very smooth flight animation flying over FSXG.

OK, so I have looked through the first 10 pages here and haven't found a single thread dealing with FSX mesh add-ons. Since I am about to reinstall FSX yet again, I was wondering whether it is advisable to get any mesh add-ons like FS Global at all? My general plan for scenery is to install FTX Global (and maybe some compatible regions/airports) and UTX and then some Aerosoft Euro airports. In the description of FTX Global it says that they have unlocked "dormant meshing tiles" so I'm guessing my question boils down to: Has FTX Global made mesh add-ons like FS Global redundant? Is FS Global still a viable add-on? Would anyone (still) recommend it or is there a better (and…
