Can someone explain how do I install freeware airport created by above? I do not want to install photo-scenery and what not as I already have Orbx for that. I also do not want to install EHAM as I already have fly Tampa for that. Is there a way I can only install airport that I want? I am trying to install Eindhoven Airport as I think freeware version is better then payware version available on sim market. Any suggestions?

Having returned from a holiday in Los Cristianos, Tenerife I was curious to see how accurate MK Studios' Tenerife was compared to real life. The photo below was taken from my hotel room overlooking Los Cristianos harbour. La Gomera is visible in the distance. The screenshow shows my hotel's location plus the two main tourist areas of Playa de las Americas and Los Cristianos. Taken from a PC12 at FL250 enroute to Gran Canaria this shows just how good 3rd party scenery plus the default v5 coastlines can be when compared to real life. I don't feel the need for any other sim when I have this level of detail.

Hello pilots I bought and installed aerosoft crj professional yesterday. When I select the aircraft in flightsimulator I get the message: sound initialisation failed and then a cdt. I read a message about this in Aerosoft forum and downloaded the tool AsVersioninfo_104 and ran it. I got the following info: Microsoft XAudio2 ----------------- XAudio2_9.dll not found XAudio2_8.dll not found XAudio2_7.dll found: 9.29 (DXSDK_JUN10.100602-0421) XAudio2_6.dll found: 9.28 (DXSDK_FEB10.100204-0932) XAudio2_5.dll found: 9.27 (DXSDK_AUG09.090904-1620) XAudio2_4.dll found: 9.26 (DXSDK_MAR09.090316-1354) XAudio2_3.dll found: 9.25 (DXSDK_NOV08.081027-0939) …

Too many addons don't alert you to an update when you run them. You decide on a vehicle/atc/weather and the program informs you - "There's an update available..."

Hi All. So I don't know if this is the wrong forum for this so apologies in advance if it is. In short I learned that PF3 is now freeware and as I wanted to try it out. I install it (not in the program files or X86) and start it up. I enter 999 as the activation code (and make sure that I'm running it on administrator), it then asks for a password and an email, I don't enter the email cause I figure there's no reason, but I do enter a basic password (cause if I don't it says "invalid password" and ends the process). This is where the issue starts, when I click ok afterwards the program just quits, it just ends right then and there. No warning, no lag o…

Hello Is it better to install scenery in the Orbx library or in P3D folder. London city downloaded in the library did not show up. When installed in P3D it worked. All my Obx open lc are greyed out and checked marked in p3d scenery library is it normal. Should I install them in the P3D folder? Thanks

Dear friends who are all still happy with P3D! Today I just wanted to introduce you to my work of the last few years - yes, years. Some time ago I even created a thread here - somewhere - but I can't find it anymore... 🤐 First of all the following: I'm not the type who likes to advertise his stuff. The reason for the post here is actually that I was told again and again (actually, also more than years now...) that I should do more advertising. For example here, because there are still many P3D fans active here who might be interested... That's why I'm just going to do that now! So, what have I done? Well, what many others have already done - cr…

I was just over at Simmarket and Aerosoft has released a new/updated scenery for Cologne/Bonn. And the best part of this is that it is FREE if you previously purchased the older version. simMarket: COLOGNE/BONN PROFESSIONAL P3D4-5

Hello i am looking for an add on that will be more realistic than the default one. One that will ask to redice or increase speed to assure aircraft separation and will ask for a hold is situation needs it. Does it exist? thank in advance

problem solved.

The ad copy says 5.3 and below. My experience has been most addons if they are V4 compatible, they work in V6.

Hello I have just received an email from Just Flight regarding some pretty pretty big reductions for their P3D products. The 146 Professional has definitely caught my eye and I am wondering if anyone can tell me how it compares with the Quality Wings version. I have the QW version and it's one of my favourite aircraft. I currently use V4.5. Kind regards Daz

the indicator(vnav path) always jump to the highest point when pass a waypoint. Is it a bug or due to my wrong operation? version: P3dv5.4, majestic version 1.25 with a and b upgrade

All my purchases are deactivated. Attempts to login in unsuccessful. Visiting from a google search yields one plane for MSFS with no other pages...where used to be able to activate etc. And they do not respond to email - 4 weeks.

I had to remove GEP3D world from my system and when I try to install it using the Flight1 interface the MS defender says it has a virus. Checking my Defender does show a severe threat. I can't access Flight1 forums. I just go around in circles. When I submit my username and password and ask for a new password the reply is they will send me an email to reset my password. It never shows up? I also get a message GEP3Config.dll has a conflict. Any help would be appreciated. Bob G.

I have not been able to log on for the past several hours…get an sql error message, whatever that is…anyone else having same problem? sherm

Hello, I've recently been getting random CTDs in Prepar3Dv5. In other forum posts I have seen people that say the "0xc0000005" error has something to do with an addon or prepar3d not having permission to access ram or something like that? Now I thought if it had something to do with permission, couldn't I just give Prepar3D somehow full permission to access anything on my computer if that makes sense? Is there anything else I could do about fixing this CTD issue? It says terrain.dll here, but I also had a ntdll.dll and an api.dll crash. And also, does it make a difference if the code is "0xc0000005" or "c0000005" ? In the event viewer it usually look…

Hi all, I have a couple of questions. Run P5D with 30HZ vysync (set in sim) on a 6700K/1080. I have autogen draw distance set to very high, LOD to ultra. I noticed on a long-haul flight at night over Europe that cities below would load in square patches with autogen, and some without - which looked pretty ugly as the city does not look uniform in the patches with/without autogen. The same on approach to EGLL. Is this known as autogen popping? What settings are you guys running at and is there any remedy to make autogen look as good as possible? The other question pertains to the horizon at night. The moon reflects on the water, but at a certain distan…

Orbx for P3D6 (update) now in Orbx Central so go do your download.

Would like to know if it is possible to convert a MSFS2020 scenery file to P3D V4 or V5? If so, how is it done? What tools are used? TY

Hi all! Does anyone knows whats the problem here? Ive been searching also at flytampa forums but havent fixed yet. Thanks all

Hello all, I am using P3D v5.4. So far I am flying the aerosoft A320/321/A330 and A2A Comanche and the Dash by Majestic. I'd like to buy a 737 addon. I can't find the PMDG P3D products any longer in their shop. Back in FSX I had the ifly 737 package which I really liked. So I think I will buy them. I know the differences between the ng models and the Max in the real world. But my question is looking from perspective how well the plane is modeled and texturized inside and outside - are there differences between 737ng and Max? Could you say that one is more optimized for P3D v5 than the other? Do both have Simbrief integration? I would like to have this because I know …

P3d V5.4 has a rather bland 2M1 Harry Truman airport and looking for a better detailed version for P3D V5.4 MSFS2020 has a free one but unable to convert it to P3D. It is a unique boneyard airport for GA aircraft and would be a nice addition to P3D. https://hu.flightsim.to/file/31531/2m1-harry-s-truman-regional-airport

To all you VR users, a lot of my clients use VR headsets so I felt it was time to experience this for myself. I have a Varjo XR-3 headset to test with and while the experience is immersive, I am getting lots a little stutters and then momentary blurriness if I move my head around. Is this what is expected these days or when properly set up I should experience a fully sharp and smooth flowing experience without stutters (or micro stutters)? FYI - I am using Intel processor running at 5ghz, 64GB ram and an GeForce 3080 ti GPU. Even when I move most sliders down to the left it makes no apparent impact on the smoothness. Thanks for any input. O…

Yesterday I started up my P3D v4.5 installation to do a little flying and all of my HOTAS settings where all screwed up. Nothing was as it should be. It's like someone took all the settings and shuffled them like a deck of cards and put them back into the file. I have the X-56 Throttle and Stick. The day before everything was working perfectly. So first off where does P3D keep the setting file for HOTAS Controls. I'm hoping it's something I can read. Also what could have caused this? And does anyone have a settings file that I can plug in and start with. I have to admit that I had deserted P3D for MSFS 2020, but I just recently returned to P3D because my PC has refu…
