    Hi, just bought the VertX as well as fsAeroData. I have installed both things, however on the DA, I get no options for SIDS and STARS, and it hasn't got any new waypoints. Any help will be much appreciated.

  2. Hi guys, today I got a 1 TB nvme SSD just for prepar3D, I wanted to know if it was possible to change directory of the prepar3d v5 addons and insert only that folder (and not all the documents folder) in the ssd, thanks in advance, greetings .

    Good evening community and happy new year, hope everyone got to 2021 well and safely. I have the following case... By the time Xplane 10 came out, i stepped away from FSX and flew in Xpl 10/11 since then. Now i bought P3DV5 to be able to fly and enjoy the FSLabs airbus. Besides being rather impressed with the Airbus itslef, i am rather neutrally impressed by default scenery of P3D and all glitches i completely forgot over the years. Now I have following question: Which Scenery AddOns in Europe are worth buying and are also compatible with P3dV5? Obviously there are still a lot sceneries not or only partly working with it? Does it make se…

  5. I am having a problem with a freeware livery downloaded from the library of the 2019 colors of the United Express livery for the Feelthere EMB-175 v2 (n605ux_e175.zip) for P3D v3. The texture seems to be missing something as it is somewhat dark. Screenshots included in the texture pack itself also show this issue. Screenshots below for clarification. The first image is directly from the texture pack. The second and last images are screenshots from my sim. How can I edit or convert the textures to make them appear like the textures in the last image? The two above issues show the darkness of the texture when in the light. Almost as if the texture is not reflectin…

    Really simple question...can someone talk me through how the default pushback works in P3d5? In the past I've pressed shift-P and it's just kept going... Do I have to push a combination to turn, and if so how do I judge when to do it? Also, do I have to toggle an end to the push or does it do it itself?! I'm fine when I have GSX, but this is for airports where that's not available. Thanks

    After a rebuild/newish computer, I have reinstalled P3D. When I open the the Lorby P3D Add-on Manager it reports: "Errors detected in config file(s)! dll.xml: There is an error in XML document (1, 4). Contents will not be visible!" I am not very good at the details of the XML files. I was hoping someone would be able to spot the error. If I read the error message right, it should be in line 1, position 4 of one of these two files. This is my AppData dll.xml: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?> <SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0"> <Descr>Launch</Descr> <Filename>dll.xml</Filename> <…

    Can someone recommend realistic weather settings in 5.1 both in the sim and in conjunction with Active Sky? I've done a few flights and even when reporting clear sky, it looks overcast unless you are looking straight down. I figured there must be some sort of conflict or something. What do you all reccomend?

It's happening with the PMDG 737 (moves very slowly) and the Aerosoft A330 (won't move at all). This is at several airports, not just one or two Any assistance appreciated ... thanks

  12. I'm having a problem with the DA62 not holding altitude. I can't fathom out why it will climb to FL140 and remain there for quite a while before descending a couple of hundred feet for no apparent reason. See attached screenshot showing commanded altitude is 14,000 but it's dropped to 13,800ft. Am I alone in having this problem in P3D v4.5? VNAV was engaged but the ToD point is a long way off.

    Hi all, this is my first time posting here. I was just wondering if anyone can help me with an issue I’m having with P3D. Basically, whenever I decide to do a flight during winter out of my home airport, Cork (EICK), I am seeing this very strange overlap on the Runways and apron markings. I’ll attach screenshots tomorrow morning but basically it seems that some sort of default scenery is overlapping on my scenery for Cork (FSX Eiresim on P3Dv4 [with some objects converted to p3dv4 using modelconverterx]), but only during winter, even during spring, summer, autumn, and even hard winter this issue does not occur. The airport is fine. Nothing overlapping. I have disable…

    Hello - I went to update my PMDG aircraft with the latest NavDataPro cycle today. This is my third update of the one year subscription. After running the update, my Nav Data reverted back to the 2014 default data in the Ident section of the PMDG FMC. I am now getting the “nav data out of date error.” I have P3dv5 on two computers and the problem exists on both. I have no idea how to solve this, as the path is correct. Any ideas would be appreciated. Cheers, Pete

    In my last 3 flights I have experienced that trees and vegetation is missing at arriving airports. At the departing airports everything seem to be ok, so it disappears during flight. If I start a new flight from the same airports, trees and vegetation is ok. I first thought it was a ORBX problem, but it also happened at an non ORBX airport. I have much ORBX scenery and HD trees and Terra Flora installed. My Autogen Vegetation is set to dense. Has anyone else experienced this, and is it a solution to avoid it? Tor Arild
