I get this CTD only when flying the PMDG 777 or 747 with P3DV5, the 737 and QW787 no issues. Faulting application path: E:\P3DV5\Prepar3D.exe Faulting module path: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Office16\mso20win32client.dll. I've tried all the suggestions nothing works. Tried uninstalling Office only to have P3D not load at all. Ever since the 777 update for P3DV5 came out from PMDG it's been crashing. Put in a ticket with PMDG all they did was point the issue at Prepar3d.

Hi all I'm in the process of acclimatizing myself to P3Dv5.1. At this point at least from a VR perspective it is a great improvement. As I move scenery over from P3Dv4.5 to v5 I have noted that while most of the packages work well several have an issue where the runway shows at some views but disappears at others, only to reappear (or not) as the vantage point moves. Granted these are not packages that anyone guaranteed to work in V5 but I had some anticipation that they might given that they were problem free in V4. Two which come to mind are freeware items depicting MUGM and MMUN. The MMUN package I used in V4 looked awesome and worked well but not so much in V5. I…

Hi, Something does not compute! I have read all those well intentioned contributions regarding the lack of audible switch/ flap/ gear sounds in the superb Duke and Legacy RealAir aircraft when installed in Prepar3D V5/5.1/5.1 (HF1). Many give the impression that they have succeeded and yet, despite my efforts to date, this has not been my experience....yet! Both aircraft were/are installed (using the ‘new’ installers kindly provided by ex-RealAir Sean Moloney) in Prepar3D v4.5 (HF2) under Windows 7 Pro and appear to be demonstrating full functionality, including all sounds in the VC. I have tried: 1. Copying the relevant Add-ons installation folde…

Today I flew into EDDB for the first time. Obviously it's only been open in RL for a little while, although the scenery itself (Aerosoft) was available a while back and doesn't seem especially 'modern', but unsurprisingly it's not on the UTLive 1 schedule, and there's no AI traffic there. It might be on the UTLive 2 schedule, but I doubt it, and the v2 beta is buggy as hell anyway so many people have given up on it. There's been literally no communication at all from the developer (or Flight1 the distributors) for six months. We were promised updated beta builds, and we got precisely nothing. This is just a repeat of the situation prior to the v2 beta, when the comm…

hi guys, purchased AeroSoft LIMC for V5 only because it has more routes than LIML, and with FSL 320 the ILS is not working , i was all over the place coming in from Paris, so tried it again in the runway 17L tuned ILS and its just not working ( latest airac from navigragh installed ) anybody else has this ? never had a problem like this before ?

I'm trying to setup my throttles for the 737, with my Honeycomb Bravo TQ, on the axis, I set Throttle 1 no issues, but in the sim the throttle moves on the opposite direction, when I go to Joystick Calibration on FSUIPC and select rev, it start acting strange.

I have P3D 5.1 and GSX Level 2. I installed Justsim Nice LFMN. The scenery supposedly has custom GSX settings, but no vehicles or equipment appear in the scenery. Interestingly it sounds like the vehicles are there and some things like GPU external power become active in the FSL A320, but there are no visuals of the equipment. Per Justsim's manual, I made sure that GSX did not already have a custom LFMN ini file. I'll add, GSX operations worked fine at a default airport (EDDF). Any ideas? P.S., I'm new to P3D and I appreciate your patience.

Yesterday I decided to fly out from a default airport in P3Dv5 instead of only using my payware ones. I started at a small military field in southern France LFTH for a short flight to Nice. The default taxiways were obscured by grass so after much investigation I discovered the UTX layer Europe Airports was responsible for this problem. Deactivate it and all taxiways return. But that layer includes many AFCAD files for airports that include additional parking positions so it's useful. I posted my findings over on the Flight 1 UTX support forum and I'm still awaiting a reply. The same problem exists at LIMJ - Genoa and you can see in my post the problem doesn't o…

When I open vehicle choice menu instead of a rotating aircraft I see this glitch (it is blinking)... I deleted shaders, default flight, simobjects contents from appdata.... It's still there. Any ideas?

Hi, can anyone signpost me to a Youtube tutorial to assign keys for Chaseplane views . Thanks in advance

Does someone know how to disable the pallet loader on the cargo airplanes, because they blocking the GSX loader at each door. Deaktivate via Posky Utility Panel does not work. Peter

Hi everybody! Have been putting p3d on hold for a few months but now when I tried starting it up again, it just quickly shows the screen where you select the aircraft and airport and such and then immediately closes... this is the note from the event viewer: Faulting module path: C:\WINDOWS\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nv_dispi.inf_amd64_5364881c934f6ce8\nvwgf2umx.dll Has anybody seen a similar issue and knows how to solve it? EDIT: Im using the latest NVIDIA driver version 466.11

Hi Folks, My latest problem is that every time I get to 1% scenery load the system crashes. Any ideas please, as I don't want reload the lot again Best regards Keith

I was on 466.XX version of Nvidia Driver, and wasn't having P3D load up, so I rolled back to my previous version, but still won't load. Attached is the Windows log: Faulting application name: Prepar3D.exe, version: 5.1.12.26829, time stamp: 0x5fb44f72 Faulting module name: nvwgf2umx.dll, version: 27.21.14.6589, time stamp: 0x605cd9e9 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x00000000001b1643 Faulting process id: 0x3508 Faulting application start time: 0x01d737099a10da23 Faulting application path: D:\Prepar3D v5\Prepar3D.exe Faulting module path: C:\WINDOWS\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\nv_dispi.inf_amd64_cc5a8fceed9bb371\nvwgf2umx.dll Report I…

Hey... I'd like some advice on refresh rates to smooth out performance in P3D5. I'm using a Samsung 32" UJ592 4K monitor set to 3840 x 2160 with a refresh rate of 60Hz My graphics card is GeForce RTX 2080 Ti (11GB) I currently have P3D frame rates set to unlimited VSync is off in P3D (and in Global settings of Nvidia Control Panel) Variable Refresh rate is also set to off Is there anything I should be doing to smooth out some of the stutters? Should VSync be on in game or in Nvidia control panel (I read that it can sometimes lead to a CTD)? Should I have Variable Refresh Rate on? Any advice very gratefully received. Thanks, Ben

So I have used GSX Level 2 successfully to re-configure a number of my add on airports with SODE jetways, it's a powerful tool and i'm very happy with it. I'm running P3D v4.3 But i'm having a small issue with LatinVFR KRDU Raleigh Durham... I have re-configured the entire airport, every available gate that has a jetway, with GSX L2 jetways, but here's where the problem arises... If I start the sim and go directly to KRDU there isn't a single jetway in sight (see attached pic), but if I start the sim and start at any airport other than KRDU, and then switch to KRDU from there, the jetways are all there.... (see also pic attached).. This a very o…

Hi, Id like to know about current issues noticed by You with EA=on. What did you notice it? LM works on 5.2, I think its a good idea to collect all bugs in the one place. I have the impression that they are very serious about this patch and want to release the final product. What I think it needs to be improve: - if you look to the model against the sun the model starts to be a little transparent and you can notice clouds on the model that are behind him - strange straight line on horizont (this is very visible if you are on the ground at down and dusk), like shadow but it looks like all parts of simulator are transparent

I thought I'd thank and bring those who tried to help me up to date. First I deeply appreciate the help. I can be reached at: [email protected] Now, here's the progress of me trying to down load and install p3d v 5.1 academic. Hello, to the support group behind P3D 5.1. First the good news. The reason why I couldn't down load another copy of the 5.1 zip folder was because my screen reader JAWS for windows, wasn't showing me everything. So, I switched over to the NVDA screen reader, and thanks to NVDA I ws able to access my account and to grab another copy of the zip folder. The bad news is when I go to open up p3d via…

Hey guys, sorry this is probably a stupid question I have been flying the qw 787 for quite some time now. thou I get confused with with initial climb speed v2 is say 161kts and by first waypoint at say 1000ft I should be at 250kts is this correct or do i need to enter different speeds ? I don’t find any speeds related to sids on charts. Usually on STAR. thiu the pmdg aircraft would give gradual speeds during climb. thanks mike

So, a few weeks ago @simbolupdated AILRP Today, RexSF3D receives a P3D5 update and also FSLabs pushed an update too. Is Pete Dowson on holiday as well now? 🤣

Hi, I could not find a question to this on the P3D website, but if I were to buy a Professional V5 licence, does that also entitle me to use the Professional version 3 and 4 or do I have buy a licence specifically just for those older versions? Also, if I want a version of P3D which doesn't so much add a whole heap of new actual features over FSX-SE and is simply what one might call evolution and improvements versus revolution, would that be version 3 or version 4? I'm thinking of things that annoy me in FSX-SE such as the small autogen popup distances, the loss of performance every single time your mouse pointer is used on screen, native DX10 support out of the box,…

What sequence should the fuel tanks be used in the B744 and B748? Assuming there is fuel in the centre tanks, I tend to use it first and then use fuel from the outer tanks first, in this sequence: At takeoff all the pumps are on and cross feeds open. After takeoff, close (turn off) the cross feeds between engines 1&2 and 3&4 and let the centre tanks feed fuel. Once the centre tanks are almost empty, turn off the centre pumps. Once tanks 1 and 4 are almost empty, turn those pumps off and open (turn on) the cross feed valves. I've tried understanding Chapter 12 of the PMDG FCOM manual, but it's not clicking, so if anybody can point me to …

Just highlighting that a Tupolev Tu-154b-2 is in development for P3Dv4+. Plug the following URL into Google Translate for a very rough idea as to what’s going on. There are pics throughout the thread. This effort is unrelated to any by the old Project Tupolev team. (And I am posting as an unrelated observer as well). My understanding is that it will be payware and may be out by mid-summer. https://avsimrus.com/forum/topic/146276-ту-154б-2-для-fsx-и-prepar-3d-с-нуля/page/74/ Regards, Sean K.

Just before the piano keys on the ILS for runway 06 at Justsim ELLX V2 in P3D V4.5 HF3 I am experiencing an invisible wall which causes any aircraft to just slam into the ground. Crash detection is turned off and I am not experiencing this at any other airports apart from ELLX. I have tested both the PMDG 747-400/-8 and 777 all hitting the same invisible wall at the same spot. Any ideas or fix would be appreciated. I wish Justsim had a support forum or email so that they could be made aware of it (if it has anything to do with the scenery).

Is there scenery of MWCR for P3dv5? It's such a beautiful airport and needs to be recreated in the sim.
