Hey, does anybody see the same or do is something messed up with my Sim (Shaders) I mean the terrible looking lines. No fluent transition between the colors.

Hi guys, First: I know these subjects have been done to death but... most topics date from 2020 or earlier. I'm pimping my p3dv5 after using xplane11 extensively. Is p3dv5 good enough on its own or do I need ASCA, rex skyforce, envtex, rex td, envshade etc etc.. As far as I understood so far I can use: -Vanilla p3dv5 with EA on and volumetric clouds on because this is as good as payware addons? - vanilla p3dv5 with EA on and volumetric clouds on + REX td/Envtex/rex skyforce for textures not for clouds. -vanilla p3dv5 with EA on and volumetric clouds to zero + ASCA clouds/rex clouds + REX td/envtex/rex slyforce for…

I managed to get the following (SSW - Tornado, FRF-104G, AV-8B, F-84F) back when they were being offered free. I've installed the Tornado according to the instructions. How do I go about getting the TacPack enabled? When the Tornado PA-200 is on the ground the 'Configurator 3.1.5 (P3D.x) shows fail next to TACPACK. The first (3) Key, Fox, vACMI are all good. Is there a step I'm missing? Such as aircraft must be powered on etc...? Also with respect to the final installer after install of the initial (3) where do you point the installer to? By default it shows FSX. I installed it into the root of my P3Dv3 install and it seem to install without issue. These aircraft wer…

Hello Avsim, I've recently reinstalled the Imaginesim WSSS scenery for P3Dv5, but everytime I load up at a gate, I see double jetways spawning inside each other. Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/51sxUAs Anyone else have this problem and managed to solve it? Cheers, Paul

Здравствуйте, вчера купил стандартный пакет Active sky для p3d. У меня препар -4,4; Я не понимаю, купил ли я Active Sky для своей подготовительной 4.4. На сайте также есть «АКТИВНОЕ ОБНОВЛЕНИЕ P3D». правильно ли я понимаю, что стандартная версия для 4.5; 5.0? И что у меня будет работать на p3d4.4, если я куплю еще один апгрейд? Установил предложение приложения, активировал стандартное активное небо, но во время игры пишу, что он ждет, пока p3d подключится к приложению active sky.Simconnect, "подключить активное небо для p3d4" - все установил, но все еще ждет связь. Видимо нудно покупать на симмаркете еще один апгрейд, чтобы он работал на p3d4.4 !? ENGLISH Translation…

Yes, I have searched! Where can I find the latest, newest, most recent, (you get the idea) download of the base file for Manfred Jahn's DC-3/C-47 for P3d? Doing a search on his name brings up everything but what I need...Hundreds of textures but no base plane to put them on! Thanks a lot... Steve in Kansas

Hi guys, Would really love to get the FSL320 SL version for p3dv5b after having flown other a32p models for some time. It seems that I'll have to get the a320x first and the SL version as an addon. this would mean a 150 + 60 euro investment for 1 plane.... a quality product costs money I understand that but 210 euro's is beyond belief. Is there some kind of bundle I can get fot new buyers which includes the SL version. Thanks for any thoughts. Cheers Jozeff

Just wondering if anyone here has experience with "Traffic Global" from Just Flight...It is pretty expensive, but I have had difficulty trying other traffic programs...This program claims to "do it all" and easily...I would sure appreciate any comments/experiences you could share...Thanks a lot!

Greetings, I have had P3DV5.2 for seven weeks without a single flaw. I'm now ready to delete v4.5 but want to ensure there are no hidden items like Orbx scenery or other considerations prior to deletion. On the other hand, I have X-Plane 11, P3DV4.5 and P3Dv5.2 all on the same 2TB SSD and in no hurry to acquire MSFS. Are there any other considerations as it relates to v4.5 deletion?

Greetings, The synchronization of the transponder (mode C) from P3D to vPilot has never worked for me. I always have to click the "Mode C" button at the top of the vPilot window after I set mode C in P3D. Any ideas where I can look to debug this issue? P3D version: 5.2

I've tried the CustomLights and CustomPDKObjects examples but they don't seem to work. CustomPDKObjects is showing itself in the top menu bar though (where I could check 3 items, such as "Draw Flashlight") but still doesn't do anything in my scene. I've downloaded the newest SDK (5.2.22.27615), installed, opened "SDK Samples.sln" with VS2019, then built CustomLights and CustomPDKObjects (tried Release and Debug mode), and copied them to "Documents\Prepar3D v5 Add-ons" folder. At first start, the simulator asked if I wanted to enable it, so everything seems good so far. (I tried them one at a time, so some possible conflict is not an issue.) Therefore I think the solut…

Is anyone using one of the 32” curved monitors with p3d? I need to replace my old monitor and was wondering if a curved one would be best thanks!

Has anyone got the wind data to work in the QW787 with the new HIFI ASP3D weather engine?

Did anyone try to use my GroundhandlingV6 addon in P3Dv5 ?? And if so, does it work Ok or not ?? Thanks for any reply. Rob Barendregt

Hi Folks, RE:Santa Fe Came across the most complete PIX I've seen on this scenery - looks pretty darn good... I've been looking forward to this as it appears to be a quality US airport outside of the overly saturated West Coast belt... Hopefully they're still working on it... Regards, Scott

Tonight I installed a new version of FSUIPC and at the beginning of the install it said I had multiple versions on P3D installed (both P3D v4 and v5). When P3D v5 came out I deleted v4 and installed v5, I guess I didn't uninstall everything from v4? How would I go about finding P3D v4 stuff on my computer since I don't use that version anymore?

I have searched several forums for Orbx and have found nothing on this topic. I purchased the Ketchikan scenery and installed it. When I load a scenario to go to airport there are NO PARKING SPOTS, only the option for runways 11/29. I have two sim friends who also have the scenery and they are experiencing the same thing. I have had the scenery for quite some time so this certainly is not a new issue. All of us are using P3D V4.5 and our computers meet all specs. And yes, we have run the "Verify Files" in Central and reinstalled the scenery several times. Any help to clear this issue would be appreciated since this makes the scenery somewhat useless.

I am in the process of switching from FSX to P3D v5.1. I have add on aircraft that will work in both. Question is will the Textures from aircraft is FSX work for that aircraft in P3D? Dick ASUS ROG Strix Z390-E Gaming LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z390 SATA 6Gb/s ATX Intel Motherboard, Intel Core i9-9900K Coffee Lake 8-Core, 16-Thread, 3.6 GHz (5.0 GHz Turbo) LGA 1151 (300 Series) 95W BX80684I99900K 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 3200 (PC4 25600)

I'm using the AIG OCI but still I'm constantly asked to download new models etc... It's obviously not a one click installer as I'm spending hours clicking NO. How do I get around this??

Suddenly my P3d V4.5 has stopped scanning my airplanes file...When I try to change aircraft the planes never come up on the screen for me to choose...It just sits there...I need help! Is there any .cfg type file I can delete/edit to make the program re-scan the planes? Thanks! Steve

Today I thought I would look around for some interesting Avatars and found this fellow. Very Walking Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Night of the Living Dead, Z Nation, World War Z etc. {insert Fav Zombie show | movie} Wouldn't want this guy walking up to my front door 🙂 Cheers Cheers

Feel free to nuke or move this topic, mods, but I could find only one post about the same problem and it had zero replies. and without going into detail, I feel I'm likelier to get a timely response here. One third-party airport has red x's at the jetways. It's a good dev, it's paid for and I have other airports from the same. The SODE log shows errors as in not finding any of the jetways for just the one airport. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the product to no avail. All my airports, including this one, have their folders in the exact same place for SODE, so I have no idea what the problem is. Everything is up-to-date. Anyone have any suggestions where to look …

Hi, Does anyone know on how to enable the helper lines in SODE Placer. The one that would show on how is the VDGS aligned with the taxi lines, stop positions etc… See what I am referring to on the screenshot taken of the VDGS workflow on 12bpilot’s website. I also posted on their support forum to ask about it. As I see nowhere an option to enable or disable them. So I hope that it is still possible to show the helper lines as it would be very helpful especially on the stopping distance for the VDGS.

Hi, just purchased KSAN and I have some other scenery bleeding through as can be seen on this image. How can I get rid of it? https://imgur.com/xXz35nL Many thanks, Ben
