The Prepar3d Forum

Hi Guys, does anyone know if theres a proper forum for FeelThere E-Jets somewhere on the internet, where actual information is exchanged? especially these addons in p3d4-5 and applying tweaks? (it needs them). their official forum is now a discord server thats basically a fansite for this tower simulator product, there isnt even a group for their aircraft... i undestand this dev community less and less. 😗 hey, thx for any info

I stupidly deleted the 'wrong' Shaders folder, in the P3Dv5 install folder and not in appdata. Is there a way to restore it other than reinstalling the whole thing?

Registered Users 10 Posted 1 hour ago My old computer crashed and burned , otherwise I would copy things from it. I have got P3dv4 up and running with most things working OK in the new computer but I can't call outs to work. I'm pretty sure that I have made an error in the path, though I've tried all kinds of paths and nothing seems to work. I have a folder called Callout in my Sound folder. This is my code: gauge35=CALLOUT_SOUND!dsd_p3d_xml_sound, 0,0,0,0, .Sound\CALLOUT\dsd_fsx_sound.ini gauge36=CALLOUT_SmallJets!CAL…

Good day, everyone! I know that such a topic appears every year and several times a year, so please do not judge harshly. Time goes forward and everything is rapidly changing and developing. The essence of the issue is as follows - I want to buy PMDG 747 with an add-on and 777 with an add-on and Prepar3D v5, since officially there will be no support for PMDG for v6. Based on what I saw and read on the Internet, I believe that the PMDGs for P3D were of higher quality than they are now in MSFS, although they are also of very high quality in MSFS. I'll jump right ahead and say that there are also ASP3D, REX, ChasePlane and Orbx on the lists for purchase, but this is gra…

Hello pilots yesterday I downloaded and installed the update of Orbx Central 4.4.0. It is loading extremely slowly. At the moment the black area says: Loading Simulators. I have only installed P3D 4.5. The previous version worked great. What should I do? I need help. I have just started it again and it stays at: loading simulators. It does not continue. Should I delete Orb Central and reinstall it? Will the settings be taken over? Regards Julio

Hi all, Does anyone knows how to get internal sounds in the PMDG aircraft, 747 or 777? I mean when in wing view or cabin? Like Fslabs allows you to listen internal sounds. Makw really unreal to go for wing view and listen to external sound. Also real sounds from wing view are amazing. Maybe there is one mod out there with internal sounds. thanks all

Hello all! I built this PC for flight simming: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/bv2wMV it’s a high end build that’s made me interested in learning about gaming performance and whatnot. Question I have is about RAM frequency as it relates to performance. In P3Dv5.4, I see no difference in performance between 4800 MT/s and 6000 MT/s (achieved via AMD EXPO). I don’t understand whether this is because my CPU and GPU are already fast enough to not need faster RAM, or if it’s P3D related? (Does P3D not need 6000 MT/s in order to be as fast as it can get?) Any thoughts would be helpful! I’ll certainly have more PC related flight sim questions in the n…

Does anyone have the Just Flight DC4 and or DC8 working in P3DV5? I would like to have these two classics in my hanger. They are sold as V4 . I have the JF C46 Commando in V5 and it functions perfectly. It too is sold as P3DV4 only so I assume the two mentioned would work in version five as well. Anyone?

As the title suggests what do you people think about flytampa's YSSY? Is it outdated as of now or still accurate to real world counterpart? Although very rare that I buy anything for P3D these days, I am looking to get that as I want start flying old Qantas 747-400 routes in and out of Sydney. Any suggestions?

I haven't been able to get the handshake from home to my client. It just sits there, blank. So I attempt to reinstall it. It just disappeared from the screen, flashing language selection and then the installer is displayed and just as quickly disappears. I'm at a loss. Can't open a ticket since you do that from within the program."**IMPORTANT** For any issue or question, please communicate only via the application ticket system. To open the ticket, click "Support" button in the top-left corner of the application window." Nothing on the website, knowledge base relevant nor a contact us. Any ideas appreciated.

I have a problem with Mexico city, but the airport doesn't really matter. I have an ADE file set inside the scenery folder to layer 999. Despite that I reeeeeaaaally see, that there is another ADE file in play, but I spent hours finding the culprit with no luck. The bizzare thing is how this ADE file can be over layer 999, and I have no idea how to find it. In the old days with AFCAD program for FS2004, you just open the program, type in the airport code and it shows you all registered afcad files for this airport, incl. the default one. Any ideas?

Hello what a beautiful bird the VC-10. I have recently seen here in a nice video that VC-10 Professional by Just Flight can be used in p3dv5! Adam thanks for that! It was well known that the VC-10 Jetliner by Just Flight in p3dv5 works. In fact, I could install the professional version (using the installer by simmarket) and it seems that it works in p3dv5.4. However, I have had some issues with the startup procedure from cold and dark. Control+E works pretty well. To start up from cold and dark I followed the example in the manual, also the checklist in the manual and finally the detailled description in the video but the engines did not spool.…

Hello, I just installed the Discover Arabia add-on by First Class Simulations which these add-ons are basically a small airplane (Aerodyne SeaRey in this case) and a bunch of flight plans. The plane seems to be working ok without a problem, I've installed it into P3Dv5. There is one really big issue that I cannot solve, and this may sound dumb but for the life of me, I cannot find the lever to raise/lower the floats/pontoons that are on the wings (like the Grumman Goose). According to what I've read, the Aerodyne SeaRey is supposed to have retractable floats/pontoons. From sources on the web I read that there's supposed to be a lever in the center console area for…

Hi there! At the moment I’ve downloaded the freeware POSKY/SkySpirit 777 series (200/300 models). And one thing I’ve noticed is that whenever I select the NAV lights button, the strobes on the wingtips also illuminate… could anyone be of any help? Greatly Appreciated!!

now available to buy on simmarket from FSCGAA. Been following on fsdeveloper and it looks good.

Hello, I came across something strange with the KRIC scenery you can find in the AVSIM library. The ILS glideslope positions the aircraft high on the approach vertical profile with 4 whites and, eventually, high over the threshold. Normally you cross the threshold at about 50 feet, but in this case, I would say the aircraft is at 100~150ft. From there, it becomes impossible to do an autoland, for example. Have you ever come across a problem like this within P3D, or finding the same issue with this particular scenery? (the airport AFCAD looks correct, but I might be missing something obvious). Thanks.

Do not install the latest update as it deletes the whole world/scenery folder from P3D (breaking multiple addons such as AIG, etc). I unfortunately did... Since this is quite "game" breaking I thought it should be posted on avsim so more people avoid this update and avoid my situation (haha now I almost want to give up on p3d... so many man-hours wasted just for Orbx to screw things up).

I had built a new rig about a year ago with a Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Elite AX motherboard. I installed two WD Black SN850X (2000 GB, M.2 2280) and used these in a silly mix as I see it today. One was split in C and D drive, C containing the OS and D Sceneries and Documents folders. The second drive assigned as F contained the sim and more addons. I got both filled up to 70% by the time, when I got a warning from my backup software, that one drive is becoming low on free space. The solution was to get another WD Black SN850X (2000 GB, M.2 2280), create a RAID 0 with 3 SSDs, now my new F drive and put everything there, inclusive the documents library, containing lots of P…

I took it out for a short hop - KONT - KLAX. From cold & dark to ready to taxi took me ~15 minutes. The engine sounds from start to full power are superb. Built in views are many and varied. Everything is modeled, no shortcuts.The fuses are there and can be opened, all of them. I opened the Master Caution breaker and the light would not go on. The FMC is functional, I believe it loaded my simbrief plan without input from me. Trim - rudder - yaw (why rudder & yaw?) - pitch - roll, throttle, even the "while you're taxing" the spoilers are engaged, switch to Flight and they retract. Wipers, light, signs, name it and it functions. Full disclosure - …

Also, do they do damage on ground objects? Thanks.

Hi I have a strange problem with the above lights. When I start a flight, regardles which plane, even payware as well as freeware A/C, non of the above lights are working. After a while in flight, mostly around 20min, the above lights are working without doing anything regarding lights. Does have anybody any idea? Peter

Hi all, I have MK SUTIDOS Tenerife North/South and Digital Design Tenerife South. Anyone Has mangae to merge Digital Design TFS with MK Tenerife North GCXO? Thanks all

P3DV5 Global Enhancement Pack v4

Hello, I normally don't do military aircraft in P3D but I'm now interested in getting a good quality aircraft carrier that is capable of takeoffs and landings. I also want to find aircraft that will work for carrier operations but looking at military jets I've found, none of them say whether or not they can do takeoffs and landings on carriers. Can anyone please recommend some good aircraft carriers and aircraft to do carrier operations? Also, how do I find where are located the carriers that are capable of this that are already in P3D? (I know in FSX there was one or two) BTW I did try installing the FSX F-18 into P3Dv5 since I know it can takeoff and lan…
