So, fed up of classic Spad and Linda not being able to make the saitek radio panel work i decided to purchase Spad.next. So far so good because now i have several buttons and rotary knobs working in my saitek multi.panel but im missing the rotorbrake codes for the rest of functions of the autopilot. Does anyone have a list of the codes specially for the MCP and the EFIS? I only need these In linda there is a comment from the autor saying he wont reléase these codes.

I've just dropped an i9-9900k onto an asus z390 MB with the intent of an overclock. I am running P3Dv4.5 with a GSX 1080Ti..... What I'm wondering is if an OC on the 9000K will produce any better scenery 'eye candy' to my sim ??? I'm getting pretty good ground textures with ORBX and UTX ....but would an OC be more beneficial for these ground efx ??? If anybody has screenshots 'before and after' OC'ing their 9900k....I'd appreciate the advise.... I've heard the advantage to an OC.is the better frame rates....Is that all I will expect with P3Dv4.5.???? Thanks for any advice Skip d

Hi all just made the move to v4.5 and would like to remove/delete all stock airplane except one for the start-up. Can I do that or will I face problems Tks for advice Peter

Hi, on the last days I´ve realized that my message text is "broken" becouse everytime it shows, text is unreadable, as you can see on the following screenshot: Thanks!

I'm primarily looking for CYTZ (Billy Bishop) but if there's a better option than FlyTampa's CYYZ, please let me know! I'm surprised how many versions of CYTZ are out there (FSIMStudios, Skyline Sims, MFSG, CanadaSim....). Skyline's offering looks like the largest download size, and newest, but reviews are not stellar. Any tips on which is best and working in P3Dv5HF2? TIA, sg

I have runway lighting working perfectly at dusk, dawn and night. But during the daytime I don't see the green centerline (runway and taxiway) or threshold lights in any of my addon sceneries by FlyTampa, FSDT etc. Is this normal? expected? In real world, does ATC turn off the lights in the day? Or should I still be able to see the taxi and runway centerline lights in the day? If so, what setting would get me there??

Good afternoon all I am getting a new computer this week and am going to get Prepar3d.

Hello everyone! I recently did a clean install of my P3Dv5.1 HF1 and everything works perfectly fine. There is only one small thing that kinda annoys me: In the PMDG 737ngxu and CS757 II I get weird white, vertical lines on the edges of the displays. I also get RGB-lines that are also vertical next to it. I want to get rid of those because they look ugly and they flicker a lot. Note: I do not use any shader plugin whatsoever, only default P3D shaders. Might it be a setting in my P3D that causes this rather unusual problem? I use a 2K monitor and I've heard from people that they don't support HDR and thus I have to disable it in the settings of P3D, could th…

Hi and good week to all, Any idea if Milviz are still planning to release their ATR? A good ATR is missing today as most airlines fly that type rather then the Dash 8-Q400, I may settle for the Carenado (on sale) if that's no longer in their plans... and I understand that in regards to flight dynamics and systems it's not up there with the more complex addons...

Hi. I am using P3D v5.1 with PMDG's 747-8. When I open up the aircraft in the sim, I select the cold and dark panel state. I then switch on the battery, connect to the ground power (1&2) put standby power onto auto, and then turn the three ADIRS to NAV. When I look at the PFD, it show the time to alignment for each of the ADIRS as Zero. I have tried to find within the menus, an option to change from say Fast to Realistic alignment - but cannot find that. Is there an option?, and if so where can I find it. Even after having copied my current position into route page on the FMC, the alignment time is still showing as Zero - and the DLINK is not highlighted - so I c…

I have a round button on the left side of the yoke that swivels 360 degrees. I would like to use that to pan 360 degrees in the sim. What should I assign that button to? Thanks in advance.

Dear: Where can I find Biman Bangladesh Airlines repaint of PMDG 737-800 BW NGXu? Please help. Regards, Haseen Ahmad.

Hi all, When i was on V4 i made a tweak to the TONEMAP_NIGHT_EXPOSURE_KEY Which made it darker for night flights for me. I can't seem to find this in the V4 .cfg... Does anyone know what i can do to make it darker at night in V5, Seems to be a little too bright for me.

I would like to fly the TDS Wedgetail, MAX 8, and 727's in P3D v5. The planes work real good in the sim but they don't have any type of cockpit. Does anyone know of virtual cockpits I can use with these planes?

Anybody know if there is a way to deal with the horizontal line that acts as a ground shadow/filter which is present when using Enhanced Atmospherics? Here's a link to a screenshot The line I'm on about is highlighted in yellow. Thanks, Pete

I am really enjoying the superb realism and the excellent quality of the visual model on the Diamond, though I have only done two flights to date, and have yet to explore all details of the manual (or those supplied from Diamond or Garmin!). However, I have only had this aircraft for one day and have a few questions which some longer users may be able to help with: 1. is there a feature to set chocks, tie-downs, or engine, cockpit & pitot covers for this aircraft? 2. is there a mode/setting where the pilot disappears from a cold and dark cockpit? 3. is there a feature to attach an external power supply? 4. is there a paint kit available anywhe…

I am Using navigraph online charts. At the moment, 13:17UTC, I can´t load any charts. Navigraph Map is working, but searching and viewing charts does not show any charts. Anyone else having the same issues? Marcus

Hi, I hope someone can answer my question. I use P3D v5 with HDR off and like it that way (took along time to get something workable with the lighting that I am happy with) I also have EA on; is that still possible in 5.1 to have EA on and HDR off? Cheers, Simon

Good morning, My system has been immune for CTD for many years, but only a couple of days ago i started to get CTD with the following module to blame C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Office16\mso20win32client.dll Does anyone has any idea what this might be? Thanks

Can someone provide me with following files for the QW 787 for P3D V5.1HF1? Effect/FX files modified for better illumination as I am not happy with the original ones at the moment. I did play with some parameters but still not happy 😉 Maybe some of you guys/girls tweaked them already and is willing to share the parameters/files fx_QW787_landing_nose fx_QW787_landing_wing fx_QW787_rwy_turnoff fx_QW787_taxi_nose I managed to turn down the light intensity overall. But now my lightsplash, shown on ground at night, is to short. Objects and Runways are lighten up good and far enough, but only the visual splash, rendered at ground, shou…

I am doing recordings using the recorder in P3D v4. How do I convert the .fsr file to a playable vidio file to share, Thanks Randy Smith

Hey Guys. All my other planes are fine. But whenever I try to launch and select one of these two planes I get a CTD. Event viewer shows it as an api.dll. Anybody else?

Hello, I just wanted to ask if there is a way to download an old Navigraph cycle that I actually bought in the past? At the moment my last subscription was with cycle 2012 and I want to reinstall PFPX, because of some problems. Till now I didn't find any way to download old cycles with the FMS Data Manager from Navigraph. Or can I simply backup the folder "NavData" under C:\Users\Public\Documents\PFPX Data\ and insert it again after reinstallation? I know the Backup function in the FMS Data Manager but last time I think my backups were gone when I uninstalled something from the list. Are the backups saved in the location where the NavData for a program is stored? …

Good Morning I installed the Lear yesterday opened it in the sim running and did a full start by the check list as well and my radios are on same with GPS but nothing is displayed. I do not have any of the third party addons that it can used and already made sure i installed with those the default options for the panel selected. I have tried all 4 panel configuration and same issue across all. I have completely reinstalled the jet to no avail. Has anyone encountered this and have any ideas. I have updated to the latest video drivers and have the latest version of the Lear and prepar 3D v5. Thank You

Is anyone aware of the cockpit switch mapping (Events/Variables) for the RealAir Duke B60 Piston or the following? I have mapped the majority of the switches that I want to, apart from the three listed on the Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Toggle switch panel Electrical - Inverter Deice - Pitot Right & Stall Warning Deice - Fuel Vents Left And Right Thanks Mark
