Good morning fellow flyers, I have Majestic Q400 Pro for P3Dv5 and today I bought the new EFB add on. Whilst trying to install it it came up with an error which said that it was only for version patch 1.026a. My version is 1.025. I downloaded the latest version from my tried and trusted for years software supplier only to find that only 1.025 was available. I checked on Majestics website under Support and found that to upgrade my Q400 I have to contact the supplier I purchased the software from. A trawl of the internet didnt reveal the necessary patch so ....does anyone have any ideas how I am going to upgrade ??

Wanted to post this here. I got an email that they are shutting down. Huge sale. Also they posted a deadline for downloading anything you may have. I remember enjoying this scenery back in the day and didn't want anybody to miss out. https://www.megasceneryearth.com/closing-down-faq.html

Hi all, I just noticed that FlyFreeSTD released an Antonov An-124 for P3D on Simmarket so thought I would give you a heads up! Probably not the best known developer out there but they did a pretty decent mid-fidelity Antonov 225 a couple years back. Great to see that some developers still release stuff for P3D! 🙂

Hello good morning Where can I find the use and impact of these options : VRR, SSR, Motion Blur and SSAO ? Thanks in advance Emile Europe

I watched this video https://discord.com/channels/854119764766097449/856673697183957002/1317673933952253953 which gives a great description of the process for creating autogen to add to photoreal that doesn't already have it. Now I could follow those instructions to create autogen to go with for example this photoreal scenery https://discord.com/channels/854119764766097449/856673697183957002/1317675032884809739 but I wonder whether others have already done so? We see people creating scenery and sharing it, but I don't seem to be able to find sites where autogen for use with photoreal is shared. I grant that you can buy payware autogen! Apparently to cr…

Hi, I've noticed in the past month or so, I am unable to get the voice enabled weather briefings in the P3D. Is this just me or is it something on their end? Anyone else having this problem? If it's just me, does anyone have troubleshooting advice please? I really like this feature and I miss it already. Thanks

Developer BDO aviation has published a new airport for v5. It is Crotone Airport (LIBC) in Italy. simMarket: CROTONE AIRPORT LIBC/ CRV P3D5 Happy to see that there is still some development for P3D going on. Rein

So I was reading about the texture resolution adjustment (the slider) in the World section of the settings menu and I was learning that setting it higher than is required can cause problems. I've run into some issues myself, and I also would like to be able to decrease VRAM if it's not necessary to keep it set at 7 meters since I've also learned that P3Dv5 does not like using over 8 GB of RAM regardless if my GPU can handle it, and it will usually crash. I've read it's always best to not set it higher than is necessary for scenery. The problem is some scenery doesn't specify what is the best resolution setting to use and some scenery's use a mixture of different re…

New Monastir scenery available for v4 and v5 from fsdg. Well priced.

I'm really perplexed why the P3D Forum won't let me in. To Log-in (which I know I had registered) ,I thought their answer to my question could be solved....because THEY developed the thing !!! So...I'm hoping to get an answer here....since I know there are a LOT of you guys that know a LOT !! I'm using Win10 and flying P3Dv5.4 Just about every time I sign on to P3D....my P3d.cfg file has automatically changed. Under the first topic[JobScheduler] **Location=-20000,-20000,-18058,-18898,\\.\DISPLAY1 and **LocationFullScreen=-20000,-20000,-18058,-18898,\\.\DISPLAY1....appear This .cfg causes my sim to 'go to black screen' after star…

Hi all, I have a problem with using ActiveSky P3D on my setup and I am looking for help from anyone who can give me suggestions or point me in the right direction. My flight simulator setup is as follows: a Windows 10 server PC with P3D v4.5 that controls the avionics (no external view but just a mix of Mobiflight, LUA scripts, etc.) and 3 client PCs, always Windows 10, each with P3D v5.4 that are used to display the external view of the cockpit. As a weather engine I use ActiveSky P3D installed on the server and via WideView the weather should be synchronized on the clients. This solution does not seem to work well because the weather is correct on the server but not…

Hello, My controller AXAIR is no longer recognized by FSUIPC, whatever USB I use on the computer. While checking the FSUIPC6.ini file, I noticed that there are twice the same reference and I suspect that it is the origin of the problem. Could you confirm?

No one in the GSX Support forum has responded to my inquiry.......if anyone here has any knowledge of how this can be resolved...I'd appreciate it I set a custom 'stot parking position' in my GSX+2 But every time I arrive at that spot,my 'stop' position has moved either front or back.... affecting the passenger walkways that I have saved. The poor souls just WALK right into the tail of my airplane. How can I solve this P3Dv5.4/WIN 10 Thanks Skip d

Just recently I started getting the dreaded BSOD at random times using both P3Dv5.4 and its chief rival platform. A clean-up of my computer and a re-seating (with renewed thermal paste) of my nVidia Geforce GTX 2080 Ti appeared to solve that problem. However, now the P3Dv5.4 frame rate drops to 0.4 fps from about halfway through loading. This is independent of aircraft chosen, from default and also either PMDG and FSLabs aircraft models. The rest of the loading takes place veeery sloooowly, with the Flight Computer Initialization running at about 18 to 22 seconds per subscreen second. Flying the rival platform (2020 version) I do not get any fps problem and get …

It is only for a year ago that I've heard about Herve Sors and his website Flight Simulator Aircraft Dynamics and NavData I have installed ORBX TE Netherlands and several small GA Airfields from NL-2000 – The Netherlands 2000 Scenery I live near EHHV in the middle of the country. The EHHV scenery from NL2000 resembles reality very good. So do their other airfields. And it blends nicely with ORBX TE. A few years ago at EHHV the 13/31 grass runway was changed to 12/30 due to magnetic variation. In p3d 5.4 still 13/31. I know it can be changed with ADE, but the tool Airport Inspector and Editor from Herve does the job very quick. Just a few mouseclicks and job is done; …

I have tried v6 and really like it except for one thing. I live and fly out of KIND and all of scenery in Central Indiana is really messed up. Eagle Creek reservoir is missing and there are GIANT lakes south of Indianapolis that don't exist. I have to use ORBX Vector ( with it's attendant frame rate penalty.) V5.4 is fine. I reported the issue to LM but there was no response. I was wondering if the appropriate offending scenery files in v6 could be replaced with their counterparts from v54. If so, how do I determine which files to replace?

I am trying to register on Prepar3D forums on Lockheed martin's website as I have run into problem with P3D and cannot describe the problem verbally. I have got a picture of error I'm getting but avism does not let me insert or paste directly here (What a silly idea of not allowing to insert pictures). The error I am getting is on startup System.IO.IO Exception: Data error (cyclic redundancy check) then it continues with list of read error at various locations. I don't even know what happened, All I know I used P3D earlier in the morning it was working fine with no problem or error. Then I came back in the evening and since then I am getting this pop up every time I load …

I am always running into problem with taxi2gate's OTHH V2 scenery. I don't know what happens but if I don't use that scenery for long time I think some of the scenary files gets corrupted don't know how. Take today for example - I decided to fly from OTHH and upon selecting start location (gate) and hitting fly, I get a loading screen "loading terrain" but then I get error warning saying "failed to read from file" I click OK and my sim stops and I get CTD. I re-installed the scenary again and all back to normal. However this happens quite a lot with OTHH scenery. Any suggestions?

Hi all, would to like to share with you my rendition to this great aircraft! DeHavilland DH.88 Comet Rendition Manual.pdf - Google Drive Send me a PM with your email if you're interested in a copy.

I have recently experienced a failure of the ILS glideslope at one of my paid airports. FSDG- FACT. The frequency is correct both on Radar Contact and the PMDG 747-400 and the approach locks in fine. However, the glideslope is way under the plane and even at 1000' at 5nm from the runway, I cannot get near it. It is as if it is almost level with the ground. I do not know where to look. What generates the glideslope is it the Airport, NavData, the plane itself or what? Any help much appreciated.

Good morning, In P3D, I can ask ATC for an RNAV Approach (for example to use instead of a visual approach). ATC will then let me select, for a specific runway, which transition I want. Thus, ATC has RNAV Approach information, like that on IAPs. Where does this information come from? And what vintage? Does P3D come with a database somewhat like Navigraph distribute? Thanks.

Hello, I have been asked to solve a stuttering problem. My friend has this kinda old rig by my own standards, he use to play p3D v4.5, it has the following specs: Amd ryzen 7 5700X 32 GO of ram, the ram being DDR4-2400 An nvidia GTX 1660 Super He usually plays with his meta quest 2 and some warthog hotas, when playing all is going good but suddenly for 2 or 3 seconds the graphic start stuttering, i can see it on the screen, i opened the task manager to see what is going on, the card is usually around 60% of usage at 60° temperature, from time to time i see a drop in usage when the stutter happens to something i would say around 50%, an…

Today I downloaded and installed Nvidia's new 572.42 driver. The driver is working good and don't have any problems in P3D but I do have a question. When I get a new driver I would delete the P3D shader folder and the Nvidia shader cache files. I can't seem to find the location of the Nvidia shader files anymore. They used to be located at Users/USERNAME/AppData/LocalLow/NVIDIA/PerDriverVersion/DXCache but I don't have the PerDriverVersion folder anymore. I guess they changed it with this new driver. Where are they located now?

Hi all!!! I have a problem with pmdg planes bought in 2015. I downloaded the installation files for p3d from my account from the official site but at the time of installation it tells me that the aircraft (737-800/900 NGX and 777-200 LR/F) are no longer compatible with p3d v2.5 (the one I use). I have already contacted support but the responses were that if I don't upgrade p3d to at least version 4 or 5 I paid (10 years ago) $220 for nothing. Does anyone have a solution to my problem? Thank you to those who will answer me
