Hi guys, Short question. Does the a320 by aerosoft have decent soundpack. I've read on their forums that turbine sound studios package is included but TSS also sells soundpacks for this particular model..I'm a bit confused.. Thanks! Jozeff

I can't remember exactly the last time I ran the Auto Update program for GSX, ....but, there seemed to be totally new content, or at the least many new logo graphics to go on the different airport support vehicles. That alone, took about 3-5 minutes to update. So, if you have not updated for at least I'd say 6 weeks or more...I'd advise to. Cheers,

So I had posted this on the EZDok/EZCA forums but no response for a few days so thought I would try here as well. I have multiple controllers. My Yoko+ works fine. My Iris always worked fine. I also have an A320 Steering tiller. If I try to use that to pan as well (it is buttons not hat switch) it is like EZDOK is trying to lock the camera. It tries to pan but keeps shaking like it is trying to pan but stuck, Trying to pan the camera just shakes and can not actually move. If I disable EZDok then the buttons on the steering tiller can be used and work fine and panning has no issues what-so-ever. Re-enable EZDok and the view just shakes when I try to pan w…

a strange phenomenon has been discovered recently on my P3D V5...I can't find IVAP in P3D V5 top menu, Addon is empty....WHY??? what's wrong with IVAP software?

Hi Folks, I see Nvidia have released their latest GRD driver (496.76 WHQL) and it now contains an improved render scaling and sharpening feature. https://www.guru3d.com/news-story/nvidia-announces-updated-open-source-image-scaling-sdk.html The new feature can be accessed directly from NCP or alternatively via GeForce Experience if you have that installed. Has anyone had the opportunity to try this out yet and is there any noticeable difference in performance? Note: This is independent of DLSS and should run on any game is my understanding. Regards,

Hey there, probably someone has seen a similar issue and know a solution for it, I dont :( For some reasons ( I really have no idea why its happening) the windshield effect of my FSLabs is cutoff. I did not change anything it starts suddenly. The effect came back up again if I move the camera more backwards (not zoom, the camera position itself with chaseplane). The next funny thing is, that the effect is at the beginning of the flight visible, but on approaches, its gone. Here is a picture of what I mean. I have already asked FSLabs and int he FSLabs Forum but did not get a real helpfull answer yet :( This drive…

Currently my Plane is falling through the bridge at Bear Gulch out of Cushman Meadows in P3D v5 I am sure there was a cure for this anomaly but I have forgotten it xxd09

Hi guys, It has been a while. I am wondering on how to improve VR Experience with latest release of P3D. It sure is laggy in the Quest 2 vs when I had Rift S with 4.5. Zero addons, clean install P3D. No stutters on Monitor Mode but when go into VR, it sure has stutters (this is with default plane and default location) FPS are set to unlimited, all setting sliders are at default or even less. EA is off but sim just isn't smooth. Looking for ideas on how to improve. I did set the VR settings in P3D to update from pre-render (if that helps). Thanks,

Hello, I have an issue with some of my FSPXAI planes. They appear very glossy and have a white tint to them. Any ideas?

Hi all, I am keen to replicate a few real-world routes which use 787s. For the last few year, I have pretty much exclusively used the FSL A320, and for the last five or so, the PMDG 747, with a little 737 and 777. I can live without failures - but does the 787 have enough depth to be a convincing depiction of the real 787 like the FSL and PMDG aircraft? For instance - are all displays and autopilot/FMC functions models or are there some glaring/annoying omissions? I realise there is not quite the level of systems detail that is in FSL A320 / PMDG products - but basically? Does each system the pilot uses work as expected and display correctly? Does …

Since the 767 is on sale for only $60, can anyone recommend this plane? I know there is a lot of negativity toward Captain Sim, and I do have several of their products. Just looking for an honest opinion. Cheers, Pete

I never tried such a product. The closest to talking to some "robot" I got was while evaluating an ATC program, long ago ( FSX times ). 1) Does it work without speech reconition, meaning, is there a way to click a btton, key, to generate your speach ? 2) If I later opt for some kind of ATC robot, like for instance PF3, does my captain / 1st officer correctly interact with whichever ATC directives are received, or issue the proper interactions when requested. Example, can I ask the PNF to issue a request to ATC ? 3) Is FS2Crew complex to setup ? and if yes, why ? Thank you for the patience to answer any of these queries...

P3dv5.2 is my sim, and I was just wondering if there was a program that would drive or roll stairs to the door of the plane when disembarking. I've flown to many airports in my life and the last time I flew to Warsaw on a 787, we disembarked on the tarmac via stairs rolled to the planes exit door. We did not use the jetway to the terminal. I've had this happen many times, especially in Europe. This is a SODE-LIKE application that would hopefully use a specific keystroke to summon the passenger boarding stairs (ramps, rolling gangways) to the plane. If such a program does not exist, could there be a market for it? I think so. What do you think? Stan

Hello all, I primarily fly in North America but I’d like to purchase some European scenery to try some flights there. With some sales now underway I think it’s a good time to pick up some airports. Flightbeam’s EDDN & Toulouse and Orbx Edinburgh are some choices I’ve already made. I’m hoping flytampa may have their own sale as well for Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Vienna, Athens and Corfu. Taxi2gate also has a sale on for Munich and Paris CDG I am looking for any suggestions for any other sceneries which anyone may recommend. Thanks! Dan

Probably the only nice FM feature I experienced in MFS after SU6 was the fix to the Legacy-inherited roll rate / inertia limit that was capping the roll rate on aircraft with really hig rates of roll and low roll inertia, like the Extra 300 and so on... Recently MFS allowed for a much more realistic response of these aircraft to stopping a fast aileron roll. Would be great if LM could update their FDE too, clearing whatever has been prebventing a roll from being "stopped" like in :

is it possible to use the .pln flight plans that I have developed and place them into Traffic Global ?? The reason I'm asking here,in this forum, is because there is MUCH BETTER response than in the Traffic Global Forum. Thanks for any help Skip d

Hello all,I've posted this over on the official LM forum, but decided to post here as well. I'm having a very weird problem with separate throttle axes. This problem happens when assigning axes through P3D or FSUIPC. In a select few aircrafts, I can move the throttle fine when mapping one axis of my Saitek throttle quadrant to "Throttle axis", and it will move both throttles in the aircraft. But if I assign two axis each to "Throttle 1 axis" and "Throttle 2 axis", neither of them moves the throttles in the aircraft. I can get a response, but it seems like the input jumps up briefly to the position of the throttle before returning to idle. I originally thou…

My FS2CREW main panel shows up very small how do I fix this?

Hi. I was wondering what is the best way, if there IS a way, to turn off ORBX scenery without actually uninstalling it and use the default scenery. Will making the ORBX scenery inactive in the Scenery Library do the job or is it more involved than that? I have installed FTX Global Base, FTX Vector, Open LC Europe, No. Cal. Region, Meigs, and Trees. Thanks, Jeff

I bought this radar weather gage to install in the Xtreme Lear 25 v3 which I have in p3d v4.5. This plane has a retrofit for it and the rxp gtn750. The wx radar does not appear to be installed. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks Paul

As an FYI for the FlyTampa fans, Orbx's Black Friday sale includes FlyTampa's YSSY at a 40% discount. Orbx's broader Black Friday sale is noted in the Bargain Hunter's Shack section, but FlyTampa is always worth a highlight.

Had a little smile at the topic of the new Carenado Citation XLS 560 with regards trying to control the speed in cruise detent to avoid overspeeding. Input from a RW pilot clarified that it was very rarely and only under certain conditions would the plane behave itself in the setting. I remember the old Eaglesoft Citation x had the same problem. It sort of reminded me of the clip from "Spinal Tap" when the guitarist was boasting about how his amp's volume knob went up to 11 as opposed to the normal maximum of 10. The interviewer then asks "why not make ten louder"? It begs the question Why not make cruise detent slower like a "nine"?

Having purchased and installed Ver 5.2, I am continually receiving an error message telling me that my video memory is used up and then the program exits to the desktop...I am using, on the same computer, Xplane, FSX-SE, P3d Ver 4.5 and even MS2020 and have never received this error! I have a video card with 8GB of memory...Can someone give me an idea on how to correct this situation? I was really looking forward to using V5.2! Thanks a lot... Top

I noticed strange orbs of light at Simwings EGLL just floating in the scenery as seen here: https://imgur.com/6fpzSfr https://imgur.com/TPYMGhs https://imgur.com/M8cgl7R https://imgur.com/rA7MQ7D So I uninstalled the SimWings scenery, but still got them: https://imgur.com/8xjnSZo Reinstalled SimWings EGLL and of course they're still about: https://imgur.com/sC0TQwq I've only just recently noticed it and can't think what changes would have been made for this to happen...? Can anyone help? Thanks so much, Ben

Anybody experienced with latest Tobii eye and head tracker ? I installed it and works OK with P3Dv5, but i want to fine tune
