Well I refer to these posts. http://forum.avsim.net/topic/382519-a-huge-fps-increase/page__st__175#entry2459535 http://forum.avsim.net/topic/382595-alpha-channels-mips-dxt1dxt3/ http://forum.avsim.net/topic/382755-dxtfixerx/ ALL the FTX AI had mipmaps missing and had to be corrected. Well I added as per above posts. Suddently I have stutterless ORBX PNW. Skagit, that was a killer on machine is now suddenly flyable and have actually made 3 flight into skagit, where I never could in the past. Still frame rate heavy but ALL the stutters is GONE..!! I used alphasearcher to ID the files without mipmaps and used DXTBmp to add a mipmap. (you just…

Hello, Does some one has installed AS2012 in P3D without problems? And does works? Thanks in advance.

After installing the latestP3D v1.4, every time I start P3D I get a message saying: Please wait while Windows configures Prepar3D then Gathering required information After that is done the program starts, but next time I start up. the same message appears. What hafe I done wrong? How can I fix the problem? Jack the Swede in Spain

Decided to give 1.4 a good thorough run through after toning down some of my settings.. I've noticed a few comments (especially issues on the Orbx forum) of a lot of crashing taking place and I've had a few myself where as with 1.3 I hardly ever had any. I think 1.4 is a bit more sensitive to `pushing the envelope' of the sim and really stressing it out especially now that more people are using water reflections again.. I noticed when first running 1.4 I saw a lot of the terrain randomly doing the classic FSX all black rectangles on random areas of terrain now and then on a regular basis which is a sure fire sign you're pushing things a bit. So I toned down my sett…

Hi All, Having problems with EZCA when loading P3D. I get multiple windows popping up with the message: "Class not registered" Any help would be appreciated.

On my system it freezes the sim while it loads, or unloads. The text is hard to read too. FSX is way better in this area. Any fixes?

HI!!! Anyone can give some advise for install 3D Lights Redux in Prepar3D. In the Google Docs of Ben he says that some files has to move manually. Wich ones? Thanks for the help!!!

P3D is really impressive. I am slowly adapting to it and the tweaks suggested here have really helped a lot! I miss real weather and ai, what are you all doing for those? I have UT2 in FSX and it works really well, but they say they have no plans to adapt it for P3D. Lee

Hi All, After starting P3D I receive this message multiple times re: EZCA. Then EZCA crashes and P3D loads as normal without EZCA. Help !!!!

Hi, my current hardware is a i7 2600k (overclocked to 5.15 Ghz), GF 580 + GF 590 and 8GB RAM, unfortunately I have serious problems with FSX, while FS2004 brings me 100-120fps and computer games actually "fly" with this hardware, I get 6fps in FSX with the Aerosoft Anchorage scenery and the 737 NGX, (other aiports give me an average of 10-16fps) I opened a thread in the mainboard forum of avsim, and allmost everyone told me, that this hardware is a useless waste, and also that FSX does not support two GFX cards. Now some people recommend "Prepar3D". What about me? Would it be a good investment? I mean does it support two GFX cards and what about the fps? greets,

After my brand new top of the line rig was brought to its knees by Orbx, I'm going Prepar3d. Intalling now. Has anyone got AS2012 to work on a remote computer? What about Radar Contact? (not on remote computer)

Hi All, I can't get EZcam to show up in my list of addons in P3D. I think it has something to do with the XML file in Lockheed in roaming. Can someone show me what the contents should look like? Thanks

Hi, I'm running prepar in 1650x1050 with no problems at all until I press to 2d Frame rates then half and the cursor flashes. If I go back to 3d then it still has the same problem. If I then restart prepar all goes well again, with no problems until 2d is started. Can anyone help or have any ideas Thanks Mike

Yesterday might have been August 28th for a lot of people, but at my house it will forever be known as "Prepar3d" day. Due to the prodding of certain members (not naming names...cough...Ben/Srdan...cough) I took the plunge and bought the academic version of Prepar3d. I started downloading around 2pm and I believe by 9pm i was ready to install. Installation is straight forward. So was activation. Painless really. I have FSX installed on the same machine (until later today), BTW. Fired up Prepar3d and changed my settings. Looked around the forums and made some cfg tweaks. Got TrackIR 4 going with a 2 minute language.dll hack. Purchased the FSX to Prepar3d Migration To…

The topic could also read ""How does one get the stated "Welcome to World Class Support - No Questions are unanswered. Our philosophy at Orbx is the Customer is King"" as stated here http://fullterrain.com/support.html . Big fail here I think, certainly over-promising and under-delivering from my perspective.

Curious how others experience in Orbx land has been on 1.4 and what settings you use w/ specific regions. I'm an ATI user (6990) and I'm not noticing a huge difference between 1.3 and 1.4. I'm really more curious how other ATI users are holding up as we've always been at a disadvantage. I do notice now that I have water reflections enabled again I'm getting some minor instances of blurries in heavy areas using some of the more resource using aircraft (Legacy, 182T etc).. I do run my settings high though. 5.5 / Max Scenery Complexity and Dense Auto Gen slider. No car/ship/ferry traffic at all, no AI at all and sky reflections only. PNW areas I average 20-25fps with dip…

If anyone with P3D flies on the internet or just multiplay on a server - how or what with do you do it with. With FSX I can connect to servers with IP or Gamespy. Connect to Vatsim, Apollo using FSInn and no problems online. Have tried the "fix" with FSInn to use it in P3D but drops fps to a slideshow and is a pain to set-up. I can't fly online with my friends at ORBX - so I have to use FSX which is very stable online, tried FSHost and did get connected - but none of the people I fly with use it - catch 22. Also when I was connected to FSHost all the AI planes are jumping up and down and smoke pouring from their wheels. Have joined Digital Theme Park but still canno…

Back up language.dll first from both Prepar3D and FSX. Copy and replace language.dll from FSX to Prepar3D. (use the backup file to undo that and everything is back to normal) Now Prepar3D can start with trackir 5 working fine but the engine on any given aircraft will not start. Some of the menu items are amiss. Looking at the dll files for both they are close but not the same. I have a hunch that a modification to the language.dll file may be all that is needed to re-enable native trackir support for Prepar3D. I am aware of Ezdok so I'd rather not hear about it in this thread. I'm wondering if anyone is able to make the modifications to the language.dll file to get …

hi,guys have got 2 problems in 1.4 that I had in 1.3,firstly the rudder is hard left I tick auto rudder in the realism settings and the rudder is still hard left,secondly visibility settings don't hold it says 10 miles but in the sim is unlimited hope you guys can help don't want to go back to FSX again.........Cheers

Hi, Just checked Prepar3D's Scenery.cfg file and noticed the following. [Area 125] Title=Bathymetry Local=Scenery\Bathymetry Layer=125 Active=True Required=False [Area 125] Title=Addon Scenery Local=Addon Scenery Layer=125 Active=True Required=False Since this is part of P3D's initial install, was wondering if any else is getting this in their scenery.cfg file for P3D ver. 1.4? I went in and fixed it, but just wonder if everyone has this in their config file.

I enjoy very much Prepae3d 1.4. My only issue is the dreadfully long initial load time with the addon photoscenery that I have installed. Anyone figured out how to mitigate this? Kindest Regards, Greg

OK, on vacation now so I'm barely visiting in here for the last few days, but right now I've just seen some interesting things about Prepar3D (especially Word Not Allowed's test). I was planning to buy FSX Acceleration to "pimp" my FSX, but now I'm wondering if it's not worth investing in a dead product now, and instead buying Prepar3D. I'm considering Prepar3D a lot more now, but I've got some questions before I can seriously consider it. Here they are: 1. I'm eyeing the academic version of Prepar3D. I've seen the watermark in screenshots, but would you say you forget about it in a while? I'm a bit worried about it, because I don't think I'm a person that would d…

Is there a way to uninstall all orbx entries and sceneries made by the 1.3 migrator? Or do I have to reinstall P3D 1.4 to remove all orbx entries made by migrator?

... because I already bought it :-) Ok, guys, please point me to the last "Official" list of tweaks... I know it sums up to just a few entries, and I remember having seen one of Word Not Allowed's posts with it, but I couldn't manage to find it in the many posts here at the Forum... I am starting with the monthly subscription while I try to make my mind about it :-) Thx in advance for your help
