Flight1 GTN 750 is not finding the Garmin GTN Trainer, which I do have already which I believe is a prerequisite to completing the installation and using the addon. So no GTN 750 for me right now. I bought RXP 750 and could not get it to work. My goal is to use the Alabeo Cessna 421 with Pilot Edge to fly IFR. This is so frustrating, we've all been there, when after 5 hours of working on something, you get razzled. I go between X-Plane and P3D for the most part, but X-Plane 11 doesn't have a 421. Any ideas?

Hi everybody, I would like to ask here if some of you still use P3Dv4 - v4.3 or did you meanwhile change to newer versions (because of PBR and some improvements without paying for a newer version like P3Dv5). The reason why I ask is because I want to release my new scenery RAF Brüggen which is chiefly designed in and for P3Dv4.5 - it should also work in lower versions, but testing it in P3Dv4.1 on my old rig caused some ground polygon issues. Would like to remove doubts regarding this before release, but I supposed there are only few people who use these older versions. I would appreciate if you could give me a short answer when you use versions before v4.5…

Just picked up OpusFSI from F1 - not sure where to get support so trying here first. I am getting the dreaded SlimDX.dll crash on startup. I have tried sharing permissions, making sure it can write into the folder where it's installed. I edited properties of the P3DSERVER.exe file to ensure it's run as Admin. it's installed to: C:\OpusFSI_v6 Is there a forum for support from OpusFSI? I could not find anything on their site. thanks

Hi All, Hope everyone is safe... So I finall got P3D V5.1 Working the way I want, especially in the lighting part... all except at night... The plane has a slight halo around the edges and is really bright and shiny... I disbled HDR and Auto Exposure in the CFG file... tried disabling "Dynamic Lighting" but no difference... anyone suggest anything I am missing... I do not use ENVSHADE, I do use Reshade... Clouds are another problem, but that for another day... Thanks in advance... Faisal

Hi all... Just installed ImagineSim WSSS in P3D. I noticed I have these entries in the airport menu https://imgur.com/VDXqYW3 I have a WSSS Changi and a WSSS Dummy airport. Can anyone help? I have had a couple of CTD loading the airport, could this be the cause? Thanks again, Ben

FYI. If you own SierraSim MHLM for either P3Dv4 or P3Dv5, there are some errors in the SODE xml file they provided. One error is a typo, and the other error causes SODE to fail to locate the windsock animation files if you're using a later version of SODE (at least 1.7.0 or newer). I discovered this by looking at the SODE log file. Fortunately, the fix for the missing SODE windsock animation is relatively simple. First, make sure you installed not only the SierraSim MHLM scenery, but also the SODE files, which came as a separate .exe with my download. Make sure you have hidden files/folders set to "show" in your Win settings. Go to your SODE folder (typica…

I only recently bought GSX and I've had nothing but problems with it, and this is one that im yet to fix

I just did a windows 10 update a couple days ago and since then, FSUIPC6 is not working correctly. Some of the axis levers on my CH throttle quadrant do not calibrate or show any movement when moving the lever. I uninstalled FSUIPC6 and reinstalled and that did not help. I have had it for many years and have had no problem until I did the windows update. I am running P3Dv5.1 Thank you for any ideas! Doug Morlan

Hi, installed the latest p3d v5.1 HF release + ASP3D. Runs smooth, glad with it!, but when I enable EA in the World Graphics options and go to an airfield where precipitation is reported I can't see any. The clouds are there though... Disabling EA brings back precipitation. Any suggestions ?

Hi guys, This morning I had a strange sound problem with P3D5 and QW 787. Every time I contact ATC or if there's chat over ATC from other aircraft, all of my volume levels drop and I have to crank volume up to around 75% (it's usually at around 40%). Then suddenly a minute or so later, all sound levels will suddenly go back to where they were and I have to crank the volume down again. Can anyone help? It's really affecting use of P3D. Here are my sound settings... https://imgur.com/wh0gUJn Thanks, Ben

Anyone know anything about this? Just got a mail from Just Flight regarding this 146. Anyone got it? I love the old 146/Avro airliners! This looks kind of sweet but kind of steep as well. Regards, Richard

Hello fellow flight simmers! I wanted to know if it was a good idea to use ENVshade paired with ActiveSky and ActiveSky Cloud Art. Would you recommend using it or should I wait for it to become more stable? Thanks in advance and have a great day! Kind regards, Niels Walter

Hello, I reinstalled P3D the other week and I was averaging about 30fps in the FSLABS on low to medium settings, 40fps in the aerosoft a330 and 40fps in the QW787. For some reason suddenly the performance has dropped and now I am struggling to get 20FPS on the ground in the FSLabs, I barely use dynamic lighting and my settings haven't changed. Any ideas what could've happened? My specs are currently: AMD Ryzen 1600 AF, GT1030, 16GB 2400MHZ RAM, 1TBHDD. I have tried stuff like updating drivers and deleting the shaders file for it to regenerate but nothing has changed it, thanks.

guys , if I verify flies within ftx central i.e. : base and Euro LC do I have to re install FS Global 2020 due to the p3d scenery layering process ?, TIA

Sort of. Before, in order to find a real route for a certain aircraft/airline. I have to go to flight radar and/or even digging AI flightplans to find it. Was about to do the same thing when this freeware "Random Flight Database" came across my screen during a google search: https://mikoulprostgrandprix.wixsite.com/rfdenglish Basically, you can find routes from many airlines and aircrafts with lots of option and filter. Is there any other software/website has the same function? This is a pretty good one and the developer is continuously updating it. /Sitting and searching for 747-8F cargo flights for hours, discover many interesting routes! Cheers…

Hello everyone, //42 seeks FlySimWare Lear35 pilots in Prepar3D V5 for test flights...inquire within. All the best, Simbol

Can anyone help me, i would like to use a tablet for my FMC. Can anyone suggest the right size and make to use and also how do I after undocking a view i.e. the FMC transfer it to the tablet. Is there an app to down load and where do you download it to or is it both computer and tablet. I have an old iPad which I'm not to up on don't no if that can help me. I think a new tablet would probably be best. Regards Bill

Hi! I use FSDG version of LGRP in conjunction with P3Dv5.1, Pilot´s, Orbx Vector and Orbx EU LC. The road, Leof. Dimokratias, south LGRP, has a surface of grass for some reason. https://www.altadt.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1u33po_o7gIVwwUZCh2_HAbtEAEYASAAEgKuC_D_BwE

Apparently they fixed the darn Trueglass issue. Posted on their FB page. Now we just need Flytampa KATL for a complete package 🙂

I recently completed a flight that took me a few miles from the north pole and something odd was happening with the scenery. I've done a bit of research on this but I haven't been able to find a fix. Any ideas?

Hello, I have contacted Hifi about this but has not received reply yet, and have searched everywhere for the answers. Is it possible to use ASP4 with P3D V5? I installed and using it, seems ok but I'm not quite a tester level guy of these addons. The only thing I have to do is manually pointing the location of P3D V5, everything else seem working normally. And how is ASP4 different from ASP3D? Is it worth upgrading to the newest version? Thank you and safe flights, Hoang Le.

Hi. I need some help in setting up my axes. One of my main aircraft is Flight1's King Air B200, however the throttles on this aircraft are difficult to manage and I find that the engine number 1 spikes constantly when on the ground, which means that taxing is tricky. I assign and calibrate all of my axes through FSUIPC. I have heard that the Flight1 King Air doesn't like having the throttles processed through FSUIPC and that it is best of these are set in Prepar3d. I don't understand how to set up the throttle axes in Prepar3d while everything else is handled by FSUIPC. My Joystick Controllers are currently disabled in Prepar3d, so surely I would have to enable them so I …

Is there an actual FOV angle specification? I can't find one. Is the zoom quantity just a linear magnification factor or is it the tangent of the half angle between the edges of the viewing window plane and the distance from the view window to the viewpoint? i.e. if the distance from your head to the centre of the screen is the same as the distance from the screen centre to the left or right edge of the viewing window, then the field of view would be Ω/2 = 45°, Ω = 2 x 45° = 90°, tan(Ω/2) = 0.7071.
