Hi guys, I have three 4k tv's in view group management setup. Middle one viewing forward and side monitors approximately 60 degrees Sideview. I'm always struggling to save views and get agood look at the upper panel using the default view management (a /shift a etc). Is it possible to use chaseplane or ezdok for that? If only the middle monitor works that wouldn't be a problem I'm just fed up with the continuously self resetting views....each time I run p3dv5 I have to adjust all my views. as I mentioned I have p3dv5 and fly only pmdg 737ngxu. Edit: I do have VR and also xplane, msfs etc..etc.. I'm just looking for a p3dv5 triple screen…

For some time I have been puzzled by the way EA and True Sky work in P3D particular when you consider you spend most of your time in the cockpit and now and then have a look outside via the Spot View or similar. There have been a lot of complaints or unhappiness with either dark cockpits or outside haze and the way it all looks. I guess what I have now noticed and the following screen shots will confirm is that when you look outside from the cockpit the sky is always relatively indistinct and quite hazy unless you zoom out into the sky area there it clears up a bit BUT if you switch to the spot view of outside view that haze look vanishes and the cloud and sky is act…

While I love the classic jets, I like a change of pace, so I used a voucher from an FSX purchase and picked up the A320 Pro on the cheap. Interesting. It seems pretty decent, although I've had a few CTDs when I apparently clicked the wrong thing. On vanilla flights without traffic or weather, I've had no problem, and it'll probably be fine once I'm 100% comfortable with the thing. I'm happy with it. (I have the FSLabs one, but never got interested.) So, my first question is about the EFB. I see no reason to buy Aerosoft's LIDO product when I already have Navigraph and it works fine. (Sometimes the A320 EFB is a bit twitchy, but nothing I can't live with.) If I'm missing s…

Does anybody know if Flight1 have updated their GTN product line? At the beginning of this year, Garmin updated the GTN trainer to v6.70, so now I'm unable to use the GTN in any plane because Flight1 cannot identify the installation path even if I manually select it.

I have been experiencing some periodic stutters with p3d 5.2 hf1 - full screen optimization disabled - hight priority in task manager -hyperthreading disabled ASP3D + aiflow + aiground + atcapi + fsuipc (Linda) autosave option disabled in fsuipc simlink deleted (navigraph) I fly mainly fslabs and pmdg. It could be after 20 minutes or sometimes after 2 hours. I start to see periodic stutters, 1 second stutter every 3 seconds or so. (Very noticeable when panning around with FPS from 60 to 20 back to 60) I honestly don’t understand what is causing this. Sometimes it happens after changing HDR settings or autogen density. Sometime…

Hi all! I just got the new PMDG 737NGXu and love it but only issue is the FPS. I turned down my settings to the level that I keep my fslabs at and the aircraft is still worse than fslabs!!! My PC spec are I7-6700 3.40GHz 16.0GB RAM and I’ve got a GeForce GTX 1070. My frames in the new 737 average 16-22 at flightbeam KPHX and 27-31 in cruise. With PMDG 747 max I get is 37 at cruise. Please help!!!

I have Prepared v4.5 and FSX SE. A few years ago I purchased a number of add-ons. They worked fine in the FSX SE Sim. I have found that many don't work in the Prepared v 4.5 Sim today. Many of those add-ons were 32 bit. Prepared v4.5 is 64 bit. What I can't figure out is that many of the add-on websites were saying they were compatible with Prepared v4.5.Can someone explain the logic here?

Been testing out an Oxygen Gauge (by Luke Maddocks) for my A2A GA fleet. https://library.avsim.net/search.php?SearchTerm=Oxygen+panel&CatID=fsxgau&Go=Search Been good stuff and fun to install and test, and if you're thinking of trying it out, it's A2A only as it uses a blood oxygen level variable from A2A's... I'm going to say AccuSim ? Plus needs a registered version of FSUIPC for the gauge to work, take a look at the A2A thread, it also covers a gotcha or two. https://a2asimulations.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=124&t=53317&hilit=oxygen&start=30 My test bed for this has been the C182 and I've managed to get it up to 20,000 feet w…

My system is as follows: CPU - i7 9700K @4.7 / Z390 MB / 16Gb RAM DDR 4 @ 3600 / nvidia 1060 6Gb I am wanting to improve clarity/sharpness and size of picture as my eyesight begins to fade on me at the age of 65. I currently have a 27" monitor1920x1080. I would like to upgrade to a 32" 2560x1440. I realize the best is to upgrade both graphics card and monitor but I can only do the one now. Which one do I upgrade first. I'm sure the fps will take a knock with a bigger monitor but I am currently getting good fps - locked at 35fps and the sim is smooth. So, chicken or the egg??????? My common sense tells me to upgrade monitor first - OR? Trevor

Hi, I just noticed sim is not generating low level clouds correctly either using ASP3D or manual setting weather. It looks like it is generated but higher then shown in metar. I did a flight while I had metar with BKN003 (Broken 300’) ,ended up breaking the clouds at 2000’. Then I went the an airport with OVC008 (overcast 800’) and again clouds are generated much higher +1500’ +2000’ then the meter itself. I thought it was ActiveSky issue but then loaded sim and entered a manual clouds layer just to get same results. Anyone encountered similar issue ? Any ideas ?

Hello, I have the following Issue: The audio (sound and input) always comes from what i choose on my window (10 64 bit) menu, and my Prepar3d V4.5 settings are never taken into account. This is mostly annoying since windows has one default audio output, which means that i cannot set up both my headset and speakers at the same time. Any help would be appreciated

Friends! Help, I'm already at a dead end. My 777s are stutter before touchdown. I've tried all the audio tweaks outlined here, but nothing helps. Simulator version 5.2. There is no such thing at 4.5. And on 737 and 747 there is no such thing either. Maybe he also loads some kind of effect besides the sound? And yes the simulator and system are installed on SSD M2 Samsung 980Pro

I have been using P3D for over a year plus now - and more than satisfied with it as a simulator then somedays you discover something you never noticed before which you have never noticed and what is that? The Nav Log is dynamic (to a point). I like it as quick kneeboard to fly by using the plan I have pre prepared via Navigraph. I was doing a long over water flight in a slow piston and so you have time on your hands. Looking at the navlog I then noticed that it had logged my departure time in the Time Off column and that it was also logging the actual flight times at each sector, shown beneath the planned time. No calculated estimate times, not that important (thats what …

Have just installed AIG myself and only got half a dozen airlines installed, wondering how many airlines people tend to be running. Since most of my most recent flying has been in the states I have started off there, but will probably want global coverage. Be interested to hear what more experienced users are running and what they think. G
