The Prepar3d Forum

I stumbled across a thread in the FT Buffalo forum where somebody had done a dynamic light profile for p3d as well as fixed some things like PAPI, ILS cone width etc. I tried posting there, so hopefully i hear back. But wanted to check here also if anybody knew where I could track it down? Thanks

Hi all Apologies if I should have posted this elsewhere but I could not find any forum (aside from Captain Sim) more suitable. I recently switched to P3D v5.2 and have discovered that the Captain Sim ACE will no longer open. I have ACE set as an exclusion in my McAfee antivirus but it makes no difference (had previously solved the problem). I've also tried to activate ACE with McAfee turned off but no joy there either. Just wondering if anyone else may have experienced this and found a workaround. I did post at the Captain Sim forum but have received no reply thus far. Thanks in advance Warren

Hey.... I was wondering if there was a tweak to increase the refresh rate of the cars and vehicles. I'm simming at 30hz 4K. The traffic is jittery and not smooth. I had the same problem with UTLive but there is a setting for fps in there and that fixed that. Wondering if there is a tweak for the traffic in P3D? I looked in the .cfg, but didn't see anything..... thanks:)

Hi all, how do these two products work together. In short, since I already own orbx products, will ENVTEX add or subtract from what ORBX already provides in the way of visuals. Thanks. Sherm

Just a heads up for those experiencing higher CPU loads using the latest NVIDIA drivers. There is an issue with the GeForce Experience game capture process NVRLA.exe constantly using CPU resources - for me it was around 10% - causing higher temps. If you end the task in Task Manager processes tab the temps return to normal. NVIDIA are looking into this issue: NVRLA.exe causing high CPU temps. | NVIDIA GeForce Forums

hi community, is there any hi quality photo-scenery ITALY available on the market for P3D v 4.5 (quality like e.g. Austria HD earlier) ? thanks for any hints.

I just upgraded to P3Dv5.2 hotfix 1 from P3Dv4.5. I run ASP3D along with the sim. I've tried many combinations of settings in both programs, but I can't seem to reduce the constant haze that greatly reduces the visibility at high altitudes. This wasn't an issue with P3Dv4.5. I was an airline pilot, so I realize that there are some days when there is a haze, but not every day. So, if you know of some settings in either P3D or Active Sky that might help, please let me know. Also, it would be much easier to get suggestions from some of you on what to try, rather than having me tell you all the many different settings I've been experimenting with. Thanks. Pete Locascio

I wasn't aware that this was coming. Anybody have any feedback on it? JustFlight DC Designs Concorde

Hello, Since the release of v5.2 I have noticed exaggerated reflections on AI airplanes, the airplane's fuselage, water, buildings, PAPI lights, etc. Does anyone know if that is a new feature that can be disabled or attenuated? Some screenshots for reference: Thanks!

Folks, Could you please look at this thread and tell whether you're experiencing this thing or not. Thanks

Anyone have EA on and during a heavy rain seeing the screen going black where the rain is being seen such as around the windows while in VC? Selecting a different view clears it up but has a tendency to do it again when its raining hard.

Anybody else got this right now ?

I just came across the option in SODE which allows jetways to operate for AI aircraft. One simple option and wow, airports are so much more realistic now! Are there any similar 'options' in P3D or add-ons like ActiveSky, Chaseplane, etc. that are not that well known, but you think people should know about? Peter Gordon

Anyone else seeing blue trees on some addons? I've seen blue trees at Flytampa's Copenhagen and UK2000's Standsted. I have ORBX Trees and Terraflora installed as well.

Hello, I asked the question on their site but I have NO response Have a nice day

Hi just curious to know what everyone’s experience is using variable refresh rate with free sync and Nvidia. I’ve tried this and it seems to work well in keeping the frames consistent on a 60hz monitor

Hi all I seem to have an ongoing issue with what appears to be one Orbx folder. In several areas of P3Dv5.2 + newest hotfix I see large squares showing mismatched scenery including what appears to be night textures during the day. I have followed most recommendations from the various forums including Orbx and have been able to solve localized issues by changing the scenery priorities in my library - referring to a third party add-on for the Bahamas which now displays fine as far as I know after being placed at the top of the library. Recently I have been flying over Cuba and have found the same issue - this time without resolution. The only fix I have found so far i…

Just wondering if anyone has this FSX scenery and if it works on P3DV5. Thanks

Q400 Pilot edition, Qlink version cause crash, Air Canada get flickering instruments. Windows 10, Prepared 3d v5, Is this a known issue? Should I uninstall and try again?

Well im in a fine mood.... disclaimer, I'm still newish to P3D. Came from FS9. went to update P3Dv5.2 to the latest hitting. Seems simple enough right? Uninstall the client, Download the new client, and reinstall. Good to go. Well I read on LM's page that you need to run the delete generated files cmd for the update or something. So I did. Well it deleted my Scenery.cfg. not a huge deal, except the fact that now I lost all my scenery entries, and ORBX is being a pain. I had it set up that I could activate or deactivate any ORBX airport or region etc if I didn't need it. Well I can't get that to work now as it added them back in as an addon.xml. I really really just want t…

So... Could someone tell me whether more than 5 clouds' layers do work in 5.2HF1 with EA=on and VolC=off? Visually I cannot tell. Thank you
