Hi, I'm looking for a TBM850 for P3Dv4.5. Carenado has one, as does Wilco. A recommendation would be helpful. Thank you Peter

Hi All.... I recently purchased and installed an RTX 3090. I am running P3Dv5.4 with an I9-10900K on Win 11. Can someone share what I should set the NCP options and the In-Game settings so I will get optimum performance out of this card. Thanks Skip D

I have tried different ways (entries) to create an xml file that P3DV5.4 would recognize for a freeware helo from DoDo Sim. I have it installed in my Addons folder. <SimBase.Document Type="AddOnXml" version="4,0" id="add-on"> <AddOn.Name>DodoSim 206</AddOn.Name> <AddOn.Description>DodoSim 206</AddOn.Description> <AddOn.Component> <Category>SimObjects</Category> <Path>SimObjects\Rotorcraft</Path> </AddOn.Component> <AddOn.Component> <Category>Effects</Category> <Path>Effects</Path> </AddOn.C…

Hello Captains, I have programmed a StreamDeck-Plugin because I couldn't find anything which suited my needs. It connects via FSUIPC to the Sim, so it is not limited to P3D (v5) alone - but that is the only one I can test. The Plugin Supports multiple ways to trigger things in the Sim (Macros, Luas, Controls, Offsets, Lvars, FSUIPCs vJoys) and can read from any Offset and Lvar Value. So it can offer "dynamic" Buttons on the StreamDeck to represent the State of a Control on the Deck. It is designed to be highly customizable and flexible for it to be configured and tweaked the way you want. The whole Configuration / Mapping is done via the StreamDeck UI (the P…

Okay, I probably should have asked this question way back in my FSX days because FSX works the same way in this matter. But It wasn't that big of a deal back then. What I'm talking about is opening windows. Not full screen windows like you get with [ and ]. I'm talking about the windows where you open up a radio stack or a nav panel... some kind of instrument or radio. My question is this... I have a plane that has almost 40 of these windows available. For windows 1-9, you simply do SHIFT + 1-9. Easy. How do you open up 10 and higher? How do you open the double digit windows? I know, how is it that someone that's been flying FSX and P3D since they came out doesn't know …

Prior to and on take-off, controls for flaps and gear operate normally, but when making an approach to land, neither work, nor keyboard commands. I have to save the scenario and then load it for the flaps and gear to work again. Any known solutions to this problem? Many thanks Mike

Hello guys. Simple (?) question: I have some .bgl scenery file for taxi lights for some airports (created by myself). Is it easy to "convert" the .bgl to a sode file ? Thanks Eduardo

I was doing research on P3Dv5 compatible helicopters and I found that there is, or at least was a Bell 206 II (version 2) that's P3Dv5 compatible yet on their website it is nowhere to be found to buy, or anywhere else that I can see. I even just watched a YT video of someone flying it in P3Dv5 so I just don't understand why it seems they no longer have it for sale. Did they pull it off the market for some reason or an I just not knowing where to buy it? Also, does anyone know if the FSX Dodosim 206 works in P3Dv5? I would buy it still if I know it would work in v5.

I'm thinking of buying KIAD from Flightbeam. I know it's a top developer. So no questions about the quality. The only question I have is: does the scenery comply with the current layout of the airport (taxiways, runways, terminals)? Rein

HI everyone! I have a problem with GTN750 in P3D and i dont really know to whom ask for help, so i decided to create this Topic. I purchated GTN750 for Prepard 3D v4 and initially worked fine, but with one of the updates it suddenly stopped working and despite having uninstalled and reinstalled and updated to new versions, still till today the GTN750 software does not appear on any aircraft either as a popup window or as part of the cockpit, but the installation menu does appear in addons options. Maybe anyone know what is going on? Thank you very much in advance.

If so how is it functioning with the windows update that borked Chaseplane? If anyone used both I would be interested in hearing your toe to toe comparison of the two sim camera apps.

I see some of the people here have got the free version of the Milviz PC- 6 for version 5 P3D to work in P3D v 4.5. I can get the plane to show up in P3D 4.5 but when I select it a pop up tells me the activation is expired and it locks up the program. I have enter the serial number from the Blackbird download but you cannot choose version 4.5 it goes away to fast and will not let you check it. I tried installing the folders in P3D and it does show up but is unusable. I also tried putting it in as an add on it also shows up but I get the same message about the key being wrong or expired. I sure would like to get this plane working in P3D v 4.5. It seems like an ideal…

About a week ago I bought scenery for Los Cedros in Ecuador (SKLC). It was made by Alfa Delta Simulations. simMarket: LOS CEDROS P3D4-5 When I go to install it, I enter the activation code and I get an error that says it could not verify the serial number. Does anyone have this scenery have the same problem? I emailed the developer but haven't heard back. What if anything am I doing wrong? How can I install this scenery?

Hi all, Bit of a strange question but hopefully someone knows the answer to this. I'm trying to update the flightsim voicepack file itself however I don't have enough space on my C drive to run it, is there anyway I can divert it onto one of my other 2 drives instead? I've been looking for hours but so far haven't found anything. Thanks,

So, just curious, what is the verdict on V6 of P3d? I'm still using V5.4 very successfully and it's very compatible with just about everything. Is V6 a product still developing, or is it something that still has compatibility issues? I bought it when it first came out but it's residing in "suspended animation" on my X drive. I do want to activate it at some time in the future IF it becomes an improvement over 5.4. I don't seem to see that happening from what I'm reading (not reading) on the forums. I truly believe it should not have been released unless it was more of a threat to MSFS. Maybe V7 will be that...I'm just not sure. Stan

Recently upgraded the drivers for my RTX4090 to the latest. (576.02) When P3D has loaded, I see a green ribbon at the top left of the screen with text in it (disappears after a few seconds) I also see several lines of text in the lower left of the screen. (which do not go away) Have never seen this before. Does anyone know what is causing this and how to get rid of it?

I was just posting in the Majestic Dash 8 thread when I realised that I haven't a single engine turbo prop. Who can give me a recommendation for this type of AC? Thank you

Hi Folks, Should anyone be interested I have created an update package for the Milviz DHC-2 Beaver freebee. After reviewing the Beaver as installed by the Milviz DHC-2 Beaver freebee I found it to be incomplete, buggy and lacking in consistency for both files and configuration. Given I like the plane and that Milviz are no longer supporting it, I've build an update archive to incorporate the RXP GTN series of GPS, resolve bugs, update the flight model and bring consistency to the files and configurations. The spolier below contains a list of the changes. PM me if you're interested. Cheers Spoiler PREAMBLE: ========…

Hey, Does anyone know if the Aerosoft An-2 and the Twin Otter work properly in P3Dv5 on Windows 11 with the 24H2 update? I know it messes up the Aerosoft Airbus series, but does it affect other Aerosoft aircraft? Thanks in advance, Csanád

I think I want to buy these sceneries, but I don't want to spend the money only to find out they don't work in 5.4. Grand Island Sim - Banjul (GBYD). The tag says P3D5, but the requirements only say P3Dv4. So I am not sure about this one. simMarket: BANJUL GBYD P3D BDOAviation - Phuket (VTSP). I know it says P3Dv4, buy in my opinion this is the best looking Phuket scenery. simMarket: PHUKET INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT FOR FSX & P3D JustSim - Dalaman (LTBS). Usually JustSim makes a P3D v5 version, but didn't with this one, so I am wondering if it works out of the box in v5.4 and that is why they didn't make a v5 version. simMarket: DALAM…

Trying to reinstall it, but have a lot of errors, and traffic in big airports is hardly noticeable. I had never such problems with AIG, at Dubai i used to have 100 planes, now have 2 ... Tried to reinstall AIG Manager, AIG Traffic Control, deleted all and reinstalled a few times - no luck, a lot of errors and very sparse traffic. Anyone have experienced similar ?

I installed the VIrtavia HU-16 in P3D V5.4 and the textures look a bit washed out and just strange. It also looks like this in P3D V4.5 I know that was a FSX program but I'd like to know how to darken the colors and eliminate the tiles look on the skin. This is what it looked like in FSX: Spoiler No Spoliers

Hi, does anyone do Lufthansa liveries for the A320-X and A320-SL fleet? Thanks.

Will it be available for Training, Entertainment, Commercial, or Military? Will it bring streaming scenery? What will it be based on, ESP or UE5 or something else? Will it support multiple computers like P3D? Will it be compatible with P3D V4.4+ products? Will the SDK/PDK be easier to use and real-time updates in sim to avoided round-trips? Will 3DSMax work look the same in V7 as it does in 3DSMax to avoid "adjustments" workflow? Will SimConnect evolve into something far more sophisticated and leverage high performance networking? I'm thinking V7 will be in 2026 on a entirely new engine ... not sure if it will be UE5 as I'm unclear …
