I've been using the freeware version of FSFO QW787 and I'm thing about buying FSFO Professional II. Do you know if the automatic flap settings are working for the qw787 in fsfo pro? Also would you buy fspro or fs2crew? Thanks much!!

Just an FYI to anyone waiting / wanting ORBX KTEX for v5 - it is now released. It will show in ORBX Central for existing users. Downloaded and running the config - have not opened in sim yet. Joe

Have my Bravo set up in FSUIPC6 for v5. When I hit the gear up or down it turns the mags on and off, when I hit the flaps it turns the PFD/MFD on and off. I have it disabled within the sim itself because it's set up through FSUIPC, and I can't see anywhere where the mags or PFD on/off are assigned to anything. I'm truly lost on this one. Any thoughts?

Mostly I fly by rotorcraft and prop, so low and slow in 95% situations. Time for jets now and .... I noticed that over 18k ft automatically turns on external drone (?) camera and I cant back to cockipt! 😞 What an annoying feature. How can I turn it off?

Hello I have problem with PBR on addon planes (PMDG, QW 787, FSLabs) in p3d v4.5. I use envshade and Pascal sky textures. in p3d v5 i hadn't this problem. I tried reinstall client and content. It's possible to fix it? Spoiler

hi all, is this worth turning on ?, i have P3Dv5 selected in graphics performance preference " high performance" under graphics settings . iam not really sure what it does dooh!

P3D v5 also received a fix to prevent objects to bleed through clouds and fog and the terrain brightness is now much more realistic (darker) at night with Enhanced atmospherics enabled. On P3D v4, the metallic parts of your aircraft will not be looking gold anymore at dawn and dusk PBR will now react more realistically to weather conditions and environment colours and bare metal paints will not be looking pitch black anymore at nigh LINK Changelog: - Dynamic shadows tweak depending on weather conditions added - Dynamic reflections tweak depending on weather conditions added - P3Dv5.1+ Object bleeding through clouds fix added -…

Hello simmers, I often fly PMDG aircrafts on P3D V4 and I'm struggling with low performance, especially when using AS weather and payware sceneries. My settings are probably too high for my rig and I wanted to ask for some suggestions. Config: Intel i5 6600K @3.5 GHz PNY GTX1050 Ti 4GB 12GB of RAM (2400Mhz) Settings:

What looks better dressed up? FSX with the best mods? Prepar3d V4/5? Same for both? Thanks

With the QualityWings 146 v1.5, I have no exterior lighting with a freshly-installed 146 from the Flight1 Agent. It detected and installed into v5.1 it seems without any issue. The interior lighting seems fine and the exterior night lighting textures appear present in the common texture folder. By chance, is anyone able to offer any insight, or have gotten the 146 looking correctly in v5? I would have expected landing lights, logo light, wing lights to illuminate as they did in v4. Verifying texture.cfg and folder structure, I can't seem to pinpoint why night textures aren't being called properly. Thanks.

Hi everyone, I am searching a scennery (freeware or not) for the aerodrome of St. Marie (FMMS) but after almost 30min of infructuous search on Google, I came to you. Thanks in advance to everyone ;)

Good morning everyone, I keep seeing posts on this forum about the slow-loading autogen problems that have been present in P3Dv4 with the higher autogen draw settings. I’m starting this topic not to discuss a problem or LM but to offer anyone who wants it a way to fix the problem, albeit with some trade-offs. You may not like my fix. I’m not asking you to, I’m just giving out what I have done. I have lurked this forum many times over the years and had countless errors solved so why not give back. Note that I’m sure these solutions have been posted many times in the forum, but I figured I’d open a new topic to give it some visibility because some people are still str…

I have read so many positive opinions about ENVTEX that finally i have bought that, and what a nasty surprise - after installing of all textures provided, sun is now a big flat omelette - no bloom, no any visual effect 😔 I have no backup, any good advice how to get back to original, or have some good replacement for that ugly thing from ENVTEX ? P3D5.1, no EA

Good morning all together, maybe someone can help me with this error?: Best Regards from Germany, Mats

Hi Guys, As an avid flight simmer I am interested on how others approach the hobby so thought i would create this thread as a straw poll. Do you prefer VFR to IFR or a combination of the both? Do you fly single engine or twin props or prefer the big tin.. How do you approach your flight?..Fire up the sim decide on an airport and off you go with little preparation or do you follow procedures meticulously..even for circuits. What purpose do you place on your flights...EG Air Haulier, FS Economy...VA route or just to have fun (Which is should always be) ? Personally, I am more of the jump in and fly, sin…

I've literally been trying for 9 months now to merge a a350 with a qw787 VC... I have come very close to favorable results but I'm stuck at a "contact-points" issue in the merge, the aircraft doesn't respond on any pitch inputs until it reaches around 200 kts... and the brakes are completely irresponsive. Anyone know how to fix this? I know that the "contact-points" are causing this issue, Thank's

When starting an aircraft after loading, The throttles are at idle as they should be. If I just nudge them up a bit, they jump up to 53% on PMDG'S 737. I can not bring them back to idle using my throttle quadrant, (Flightsimpm 777). I can only idle them back with the mouse or the F2 key. I can advance them from 53% using the QT bit not to idle. This happens with all aircraft, default and payware. The tq is calibrated correctly and works as it should I'm using FSUIPC on WIN 10, I have all the updates. Anyone have a clue what's causing this?

Greetings all, Will running freemesh from an SSD significantly improve load times and overall performance? Thanks for comments. Sherm

Today my steering tiller went to full left deflection after push back. Nothing I did solved it (use FSUIPC to assign/calibrate). Came back after 5 minutes all by itself. Continued flight (7 hrs 45mins). After landing it worked to exit runway but then locked out at full deflection again. Never happened before. All controls are disabled in default and I use FSUIPC to assign/calibrate as stated. Rebooted and reloaded a new flight - all seemed OK. Temporary glitch??? Any help appreciated.

For the very beginning i am sorry to open such topic again, but truly i have searched answer and solution for last couple of days and i am done. My ground textures looks like taken from FS9. I think i have tried everything - FFTF from 0.1 until 0.6, P3D all settings changed from my default to minimum, NVIDIA settings as widely recommended. Whatever i did i see zero effect - blurry as hell ! My test flights are done with default slow prop plane. Yes, i have ORBX regions I have GeForce1660 6GB Frames are locked on 30, sim is butter smooth. Help please 🙏

Hi, Does it worth the price? Many thanks

Hey there, I recently discovered that dynamic reflections aren't working in my sim (p3d v5.1), they worked the previous time that I flew in the sim but the next time that I flew in the sim none of the dynamic reflection effects were being displayed. I thought that my settings were changed and when I had a look at the settings they were the same... dynamic reflections set to MEDIUM. I tried quiet a few times to solve the issue but I couldn't. Anyone know what is going on? My addons (visual modifications) : Reshade 4.9.1 REX SkyForce 3D Thanks, MY SETTINGS : https://imgur.com/a/Q67Sbpo

Hello again. A very strange behavior in P3D V5. When I'm on flight level where is no scenery to generate objects, I get very strong usage by prepar. What can be cause this? Because I'm concerned about it, as u can see my GPU just chillin in the corner when CPU working hard (for what?) i7 8700K @4.8 all cores, I mean it's weird

Fixed Issues in this Release: [Rigid Gems][Prepar3D]: The applications may crash or fail to launch.[3285067/3286874] Confirmed solved on my system.

I am think about getting LatinVFR's scenery for San Juan Puerto Rico and Key West Florida. But before I do I want to ask if these sceneries work and how these sceneries perform in P3D v5.1. I am asking because I have a couple of LatinVFR's sceneries and some work good but other have performance issues and some do not display/work fully in P3D v5.1.
