Hi I just move to v4.5 and start installing scenery. The FSDT scenery "exclude" shows purple. not green Have it to be moved up or down? Peter

I use P3D with PMDG737NGX on one computer. My videocard had 5 ports. Works great with 4 monitors bur when I connect 5, one monitor turns off. What could be the problem? Maybe the computer has to low capacity...? Can I use two videocards on one computer. I need to run 6 monitors....Or is it a possibility to use two computers....? What is the best? Magnus

Hi, A while ago, I purchased REX Sky Force on https://www.justflight.com/ I'm considering to install it again so I logged to my Justflight account and downloaded the installer: rexskyforce_20200228.msi Can someone confirm that it is the latest version of REX 5 - Sky Force 3D? I remember that some folks had some crash using Sky Force. It is stable now? Thanks.

Anyone know if Razbam's Metro III for V2/3 is V4 compatible? I recall there being threads regarding its compatibility but has anyone managed to get it running ok?

I'm curious, is that because you fly into default airports? What if I don't fly into default airports, and those add-on ones are updated? Or is that because you want to tune in more current frequences? Thanks.

I have problem to get CP-flight MCP737 MAX to work. I have P3D ver4 installed in disk D on my computer with PMDG 737NGX. I have done all the installation instructions from CP-flight. The MCP driver is installed in disk D in the P3D folder. When I open the CP-flight in the addon meny when I run the simulator and press connect I get the message: Run-time error 40006: wrong protocol or connection state for the requested transaction or request I did see in this forum that it could be an ip adress problem. Someone suggested to change ip adress in PMDGNGX options ini folder. But in that folder there is no ipadress.... Can somebody help me in this forum...?

Lately I have experienced that the yoke and throttle assignments has been changed or missing at every startup of P3dv5.1 HF1. I use a Simujabs B737 yoke, and Flightsimpm B737 Throttle. I have not updated any drivers or done any changes to the yoke and throttle. It is not a big problem for me, because I have exported .xml files for the controls, and I only have to import it to get the controls to work. But I still want to have the assignments loaded when I start the simulator. Does anyone know why this happens, and is it a way to avoid it? Tor Arild

I have had problems with SPADNEXT recently, when i start Prepar 3Dv4 and use only goflight GIT all my modules work great but as soon as i start SPAD NEXT and try to use my radio panels the MCPPRO works for about 30 seconds then freezes. I then cant use MCPPRO and a couple of modules. One works great without the other but not together. I have the latest GIT and the latest GF 2.28 installed. I have uninstalled GF2.28 and tried that with no jjoy. i would appreciate any help. I am using either PMDG or Aerosoft Airbus Professional or QW but are all the same. I run windows 10 Prepar 3Dv4.5 and i have plenty of oomph in my rig so im pretty sure its something silly or maybe it j…

Looking out of my window I see nothing but a winter wonderland, which makes me long for some greener pastures in the simulator. 😅 Seeing that Orbx has a sale right now I am considering getting TE Florida, however I am a little concerned about VRAM (and FPS) since it would be my first addon from the series. I have an 8 GB card and so far haven't had any problems with running out of VRAM, even at major airports within the "regular" Orbx areas (e.g. FB SFO and NorCal). Should I be fine in that case? Right now I don't plan on using additional addon airports in this area. Thanks!

Hey there, I have a question about how I can get better and get more defriendet cam view when I'm in the P3D v4? I'm looking for a camera angle where one is stuck and can see flying roll or flying past the camera (if you know that I mean) Like if you see some planespotter on YT say and film the aircraft there get in for landing or takeoff.

Hi, I use both P3D and X-Plane (P3D for modern airliners and X-Plane for classic airliners) but having to buy add-ons for both simulators is rather too much for me, so I have been thinking of dropping X-Plane entirely. What are the best full steam gauge airliners available for P3D v5, preferably similar to what I'm used to with FlyJSim classics? I have been thinking of CaptainSim L1011, CaptainSim 737-200 and a few others, but I'm rather lost. The upcoming Just Flight 747 and A300 look really exciting, but I wouldn't be surprised if their releases are months away. Thanks in advance.

When I start the sim I get this pop up; Scenery Config.File Error Local scenery directory (orbx\ftx_na_nca05 Scenery\Scenery) in scenery area.205 not found. Click ok to continue

Maybe someone has any idea? I did not touch or change or install anything. All of a sudden the digits except for "course" are gone. All other panels like for 787 and a320 etc are ok, except this one. I tried re-downloading the panel - no change. All the gauges, xml files, etc are in place...

I just saw that the FStarter app for MSFS is now also available for P3D users. It is called FlightStarter. You can re-fly and practice landings, set up a Airport Traffic Pattern at any airport in P3D with just a click of a button.

Is FSXFlight kaput? I tried to reinstall FSXFlight and the installer errors out because it can't download the app from the developers website. I submitted a support request several days ago, have not gotten any response. Is there an alternative to connect to Foreflight on the iPad? Thanks.

Hello ! I made a sound package for PMDG 737NGXu. Actually i changed only Engine startup sounds and pack sounds. Now its more realistic. I hope you like it ! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qvoYHxePxevKKvfUQq27u60smgnhN3P6/view?usp=sharing Copy files to: Prepar3D > Sound > PMDG > 737NGXu > Various

I've just got this message the very first time. It occurred when I was in a PMDG 747 at FSDT KORD when I wanted to change my settings via the main graphics menu. It did not accept any changes, but when I clicked Cancel I could continue ... Never had this before. Any ideas?

As you may know Bernardo, the developer, sadly developed Covid and is seriously ill which has caused him to place his business in hiatus. I am a legal licensed owner of his magnificent St Croix and am wondering if anyone has a copy they can send me. I bought a new flight sim rig and have been reinstalling all my sceneries in P3D. Bernardo shuddered his download page. Bernardo is incapacitated and we all hope for his recovery. If you can assist me in locating a copy please reach out to me at [email protected]. I can prove I am a legal licensed owner of the scenery. All the best and let’s keep Bernardo in our thoughts! Greg Hesterberg Chapel Hi…

I have recently installed the Alpha and Bravo controls (flying with Prepar3d v5). I have activated the default profile and also tried by importing profiles found on the aerosoft website for the A2A bonanza and PMDG NGX. In all situations, while the buttons appear in the profile editor, the are no "binding" (or events) assigned to any buttons. If importing a profile, should there not be some events appearing, allowing me to leave them "as is" or changing some as needed. Am I missing a step ? Do I need to "program" all events manually ? Any help would be appreciated thank you Jean-Marc

Hey guys, I encountered a problem and don't know when it started. When flying at night, the sky is normally black, but very bright light can always be seen in the distance, which is the case all over the world. I don't know what caused it, I hope to get your help!

Hi Guys, My GCRR looks like this: https://ibb.co/52hhMHw I have ORBX Europe installed but regardless of if i placed MK Studios Lanzarote above / below it it remains the same, can anyone point me in the right direction? Cheers, Alex

Has anyone an solution for the ATC / GSX window problem for Prepar3dv5.1 HF1? It's stops working suddently. I think the problem is well known. Maybe anybody has an workaround. Regards Urmel

I updated from ASP4 to ASP3D and I noticed that in the add-on.xml of Active Sky, there is this line <AddOn.Component> <Category>Gauges</Category> <Path>.\</Path> </AddOn.Component> Does this lead to the gauges folder in P3D? If not, does anyone know where it leads to otherwise??

My primary focus at the moment is the impending release of both our long awaited PMDG 777 product update cycle (which is no cost to users) and our upcoming new product release for the PMDG 777-200ER.The first two weeks of testing on the 200ER have been typically difficult for a new product, in part because we have torn apart the entire 777…
