Hello! I did a clean re-install of Prepar3D a few weeks ago and proceeded to download Envtex. All components seemed to be downloaded flawlessly and the installation was carried out without incident. However, everytime I change settings in Envdir/Envtex and fire up Prepar3D, I get a pop-up window asking me if I want to activate Active Sky. Anyone else who is experiencing this or has a solution? Regards, Viggo.

G'day All First and foremost, apologies if this is the incorrect place to post this but couldn't find another place to post. This is a call for scenery developers to consider 64 bit scenery for the following major citys in Australia. I'm talking payware, not freeware. 1. Adelaide (YPAD) - last version released only good for 32 bit and out of date - no plans for a 64 bit release 2. Darwin (YPDN) - A joint civil/military aerodrome and a gateway to Asia making many destinations viable for those that enjoy smaller jets (737, A32x, etc) 3. Canberra (YSCB) - The nations capital. While ORBX has a 64 bit version, it is so far out of date it's not funny. ORBX…

I heard that FSDG said two years ago that they would develop a vrmm airport , but there's no news so long .

Hello everyone, i have had a bug with an avsim library i have downloaded, so the problem is that when i'm on the ground i cant see the taxiways and the ground markings but when i zoom out i can see them, i tried changing the airport elevation on ADE but nothing changed. i use p3dv5.2 HF1 you can see some screenshots i took about the issue : thanks to anyone who could help me

FYI https://secure.simmarket.com/taxi2gate-kind-p3dv5.phtml Looks very good! Big developers did not give up P3D! Nice to see this. I was always a big fan of T2G airports. Regards Marcus

i have freeware scenery of Bergen i'm trying to delete defualt jetway so i can use sode but on this scenery and tromso scenery i not able to remove it it's connect with the terminal fil is there any idea of what program i can use to delete only jetway (ENTC, ENBR, ENBO) I did got delete ENVA Trondheim Airport Jetway Airports of Norway v3.96 MAIN, for Prepar3D v4 only https://flightsimnorway.com/addons/?funct=dl&pack=aon

Hey guys, after the release of the sharklets by FSL I was happy to have a EFB. But on tests it crashs or better simply closes. Sometimes it says "P3Dv4 need to close there was a problem searching for windows solution" and sometimes simply nothing. Below I copy you the crash log but I saw ucrtbase.dll and error code c0000409. I updated Visual Studio and run sfc /scannow (from a command prompt). No result. The thing is that it seems all rest is working good also the FSL normal airbus is flying and doing good and a small flight. Also PMDG and standard planes. When removing the sharklets also it works fine. So the problem is with the sharklets. I read some reports w…

I am tempted buying the Just Flight BAE 146. While the price is nearly the same, which version is better or there is no difference at all?

At FS Expo today the team announced they are about 50 to 60% done with the aircraft. Will be a dual release on day 1 on both P3D and MSFS. Will have failure modes available as well. Words team used were "beyond study level". 90% of the code runs outside the sim's. Models are done. Said next 3 to 6 months things are really going to come to life with the aircraft but no release date was given. Both engine variants being done with their own sound packs. He said the freighter versions will also still be happening. That to me was the only downside to the talk, doesn't sound the the MD-11F is coming with initial release, just the pax version. Not my video in the link below but …

I am fast running out of space on my 1TB SSD drive which I have P3Dv5 installed on (not C drive) and want to move ORBX library. I have read up on how to do it which seems straight forward. My main question is will I get a performance hit if I move the library to a slower old HDD? I'm not sure how the files are used during P3D operation. Andy

I had a fatal Windows crash and had to install all again. Currently I'm fiddling to fly the PMDG 738 at night but in seems to be a hopeless endeavor. At KSAN (ORBX) I cannot not even see the taxi center line and it is impossible to navigate w/o collisions. I've already tried different setting (EA on EA off etc) with no success. Did I miss an important setting? Currently I don't have much add-ons installed, only ORBX Global and NA OLC as well as some US airports. Neither weather, nor shader add-ons nor other visual tweaks. What can I do? Is it a P3D 5.2 issue, a PMDG issue or an airport issue?

I copied all my flight plans and AI aircraft from FSX SE over to PD3 v5. However most of the AI aircraft won't appear in PD3 v5 or they are partially appears. Do anyone know how to convert FSX model AI to work in PD3 v5? Or point me in the direction to get compatible AI aircraft for PD3 v5? Thanks in advance

Hello to all, we released today GSX 2.9.4 for Prepar3D V5. This update adds support for multi-liveries in P3D V5, which was missing until today because in P3D V4 it required DirectX 11. While it's not true RTT support, it will allow to have all 200+ ground operators, catering and jetway logos in P3D V5, with the ability to choose any of them in GSX parking customization page, overriding the default choice made by GSX. To get the update, just run the FSDT Live Updater ( Couatl_updater.exe in Addon Manager folder, if you lost its icon ) from the Desktop icon.

Hi .... Is it possible to move/copy all the aircraft from v5.1 to v5.2 ??? I have lots of planes that I've liked over the past vers. 4.5...and was able to move them to 5.0-5.1... But now that I've upgraded to v5.2.....I'm not having any luck "pasting" them into it... Just wondering if they're not allowing this ??? Is there a way ??? Thanks for any help Skip d

For people with stutterproblems, this is one to try: Today I tried to activate Freesync from my 34 inch widescreen monitor to my Nvida RTX 3060. It is so much better now, really buttersmooth also my fps seems higher. If you have a Freesync monitor, you can also use Nvidia Gsync nowadays! See below how to activate, don't forget to connect with displayport cable not HDMI! Also afterwards tick the adaptive refresh rate box in Prepar3d. https://www.howtogeek.com/401792/what-is-g-sync-compatible-and-how-to-enable-g-sync-on-freesync-monitors/

I am using asp3d+envtex+envshade with EA on and volumetric Clouds off, when there are more clouds,fps drops to 15-20,but with volumetric Clouds on,fps immediately increased to more than 40. I remember that in the last version of P3D, the fps with Volumetric Clouds on is lower than off.This version is really weird.

Hey, I knew that issue already but I did not see it a long time. Today its back, and I am not sure if there was a solution for it. I found something with Clipmode, but that doesnt work for me. https://imgur.com/XVoBs9g

I've had the throttle for a bout a week and spent a few hours trying to get it set up with little success. I loaded the QSOT profile, activated, etc. I just dont think its working even though I the profile confirmation active notice in P3D. For example, after I do this, the ailerons, elevator are mapped to the throttles themselves. I've even tried custom work in the bravo program but those don't seem to translate over either. All that I have gotten to work is by doing the mapping in P3d, which is time consuming and cumbersome. And I cant get things like reversers to work. Any ideas? One of the things I thought of is the path in the bravo program when you activ…

I'm trying to compile a list of aircraft addons that are "close to study level" or as real as it gets for P3Dv4 (100% compatibility must be assured). Please add to the list if you see something missing, or if any aircraft on the list isn't "study level": Airbus A320 (FSLabs) Beechcraft B60 Turbine Duke (RealAir) Boeing 737 (PMDG) Boeing 747 (PMDG) Boeing 777 (PMDG) Bombardier DHC-8 Q400 (Majestic) Cessna 172 (A2A) Cessna 182 (A2A) deHavilland DHC-6 Twin Otter (Aerosoft) Douglas DC-6 (PMDG) Lockheed L-049 Constellation (A2A) Piper PA-24-250 Comanche (A2A) Piper PA-28-180 Cherokee (A2A) To be released: British Aerospace Jetsream…

I hope someone can solve this mystery I installed P3dv5.2 HF Client after deleting the previous one P3Dv5 is installed on a dedicated SSD G:\ Drive All PMDG liveries (737, 777x and 747s) and QW878s liveries disappeared from P3Dv5 "vehicles" choice window. FSLabs A320 and A321 are visible PMDG and QW are installed correctly in the right Folders G:\LM\..... and all liveries are showing in SimObjects\Airplanes Any insights will be very appreciated Bill

Rather than hijack other threads on the Grumman Amphibians - Goose, Widgeon and Albatross, thought I would add the Mallards. There are two the Piston Mallard and the Turbine Mallard. Both models were done by Milton Schupe and his team for FSX but they are very good models and work without any problems in P3DV5.2. Both have complete and working VC's and interiors with a number of nice touches for bilge pumps etc. These are available at various sim site libraries but be aware there were a number of updates and HD texture sets done that improve these no end.

I see that v5.2 now permits EA on, but with volumetric clouds off and replaced by legacy 2D clouds. First...what does that combination do for us? I've not played much with EA--it's been so problematic in prior versions, I just turned it off early after upgrading. Second, are any of the add-on aircraft or third-party radar gauges going to be able to depict weather when using the EA+2D cloud combo? I'm left to believe still that none of the add-on radars can depict EA volumetric clouds (correct me please if I've missed something). So I find myself wondering if I can preserve wx radar capability and still gain something with EA + 2D clouds.

Very strange issue, seeing it for a first time after a long pause with P3D. When disabled, I see around 120fps sitting in a default Cub, on addon airport. With enabled volumetric clouds on High - 45fps. Ultra gives 19fps! Huge lags, unflyable. HWMonitor shows 100% GPU usage. Installed 471.96 drivers a week ago. Any solutions? I'm not even using high AA settings (using 4xMSAA). Should I change the GPU driver version?

Hello All. My question is "will any VR headset work with P3D4"? Thank You hpwells1
