    I'm not sure if it is P3D's or EZCA's facility. Anyway is it possible to disable mouse wheel's zoom function anywhere in EZCA's or P3D's settings? Thanks

  2. Hi, I would appreciate your thoughts as to what is the best software for capturing flights in video on both MSFS 2020 and P3D - both freeware and payware. Video editing can be done in another programme - is just your recommendations for capturing the video. Thanks

    Hello, I'm using P3D V5.2 HF1 and I am using both ENVSHADE and ENVTEX. My question is that I want to change the theme from full dynamic in active sky cloud art, but it doesn't change as the phrase "This they can't be edited". Of course, I remember that it was possible to change the theme of full dynamic one day...Is there a solution? it is related to about Envshade and Envtex?

  6. So I'm running P3Dv5.2, with active sky and Rex Skyforce. For some reason my PMDG has become a brick! I check the approach speed is right, I flare, use the right level of flaps etc but I just drops like a brick! I remember it always used to be quite floaty. Did the ground effect stop working or something? Really not sure what is up with it. I have the latest version of it installed as well! I've watched YouTube videos of others to see what's going on and they are landing fine I can't see that I am doing anything different. Really at a loss as to what is amiss, maybe an Active Sky setting? But I've not changed anything in that for ages!

  9. Hi guys, I was grateful enough to beta test FSReborn's AI Light package, and I have to say @simbol did an amazing job with it. From my conversations with him - I can tell he is an artist. Lot of care and attention to detail has been applied to this Professional AI Lights Package for P3D. I will post some screenshots later this evening if my time persists. Let me tell you guys something - The configuration process is super fun and for many of us - it is automatic. It is in the implementation of the package - it completely changes the way my AI looks in the sim. Works flawlessly with AIG (that is what I have). Coolest feature - is the applicati…

    Hi all. I wanted to get the word out that simwest will be closing its doors on September 1. We had planned to roll out 3D photoreal scenery across the USA but after the release of MSFS sales for our scenery has dried up (even in P3D?). Had a fun time over the past several years with this part-time hobby/business but for now I’ll be returning just as a simmer. This notice is also a big THANK YOU to my patrons who enjoyed my products and beta testers who made it happen. For you customers, keep in mind that our servers will shut down on September 1st so attempting to install using the simwest installers will no longer work. You will need to make a copy of…

    Hello everyone, I am back with P3D V4 because MSFS is a mess. Of course I want to have my AIGM-OCI working with STB (super traffic board) but things have changed since I left. It looks like AIGM-OCI does not load the flight plans in the world scenery folder or the sim objects in the sim objects folder anymore. It also looks like STB can only read the files from those P3D folders and not where AIGM-OCI places them so how can I get them to work together? I'm not sure if the problem is AIGM-OCI or STB. Both are must haves for me so I am disappointed that right now they don't play nicely. Thank you

    Hi! I have recently started playing some p3d after a long break. I installed all my addon aircraft and tweaked my sim to make it look good. Then after doing some flights to remember how all the systems worked i decided it was time for vatsim, but i didnt have any ai models. Looking around on youtube i found that FLAI was a good place to get the models but then when i visited the site it said that they were shutting down. So i was wondering if anyone knows aany good alternatives for P3D V4.5 :)

    Hi, after many years simming I thought I could keep up but at 82 I realize that I'm falling behind. Since the last update of v5 I cannot get my Texture Resolution to save ,it always goes back to 512. I'm happy with 1024 . My sliders are set midway and EA off, HD off,( my needs are modest) Frame rate 30. Vram never exceeds 2.5.out of 8. I've deleted previous profiles and saved the new one but it will not save the texture resolution. What am I missing ? Nvidea RTX2070 super Intel i9 9700k 3,5 SSD 1 Tb

    So after the shemozzle of the latest MSFS update I uninstalled it but when I've wanted to jump back onto P3D I have weird issues with SODE jetways disappeared, scenery issues, simconnect isn't working, keybinds have disappeared and can't pan around cockpit with my hatswitch again on my joystick. The only thing I've done before loading up P3D again is update GSX via FSDT control panel, update YBBN ORBX, install new patches for AS and ASCA and purchase and install WF VHHH and Flightbeam NZAA. Has the uninstalltion corrupted something? I might have to do a full reinstall because my P3D is stuffed now. Below is WSSS and as you can see my S…

Almost all payware airports and gate positions have this problem. I cannot imagine that all those have false afcad. What parameter is wrong here? Is it located in aircraft.cfg? Also I cannot hear touchdown sound. Is my contact point settings wrong. A floating problem?

  21. I am using the PMDG 737 NGXu. When I load the aircraft in my sim, at the gate (parked), when the message says, initializing all systems, at 17 seconds, the landing gear starts to extend, and the aircraft starts to pitch up, a tailstrike occurs, and starts to bounce and move forward violently, before coming to rest after 10 seconds. (It does these things, all by itself) This is a very annoying problem.Srinjay DasB737NG Lover❤

  22. Hello, I recently did a full reinstall of my simulator, and have already installed some of my aircraft (PMDG 737NGXu, PMDG B777, FSLabs A319-A320-A321). In airports with both PMDG aircraft I easily get 40+ FPS and around 3.6GB of VRAM On the other hand, the exact same airport and settings, I only get 15-20 FPS and 4.5GB of VRAM. Am I missing something? Thanks!
