Hi all, Maybe this has already been covered in another post, but I couldn't find it. I have completed my DIY MCDU and I would like to clip the undocked captain MCDU panel (shift 7 or 6) in order to drag only the actual display to my MCDU display. I have seen posts about making changes in the panel.cfg to resize and set the position of undocked panels. This works but I still have the MCDU frame and buttons showing up on my other screens. Anybody knows how to change an undocked panel. It would be very nice to be able to do this as well for the ISIS and DCDU. Thanks for any info!

Hey guys, Does anyone have a list of airports or sceneries which have black objects bleeding in 5.1. I did see one youtube video commenting that it caught devs with pants down lol. It is funny moment and sad at the same time. I bought sceneries assuming that projects were made in P3Dv4/5 SDK but no...this is what we get. Now with pandemic pretty much out of control buying sceneries on my end is a rare luxury. I am hoping whatever I buy till Dec pretty much better be up to standards, I can not wait on promises of fixes b/c they all are after all promises. Can I start seeing names of sceneries which have black textures bleeding in/out …

I was about 100 feet above the runway landing at KJFK on 04L and all of a sudden my plane teleported onto the runway and smashing into it. My plane went from flying to on the runway. This is the second time this has happened landing at KJFK. Only scenery addon I have is orbx global.

I'm building a computer and loading P3D V5 for a friend. I confess I've away from P3D for a bit; consequently, my knowledge regarding V5 is a little outdated. In short, If he chooses to use EA with P3D V5.1, are the following add-ons necessary: REX SYKFORCE 3D REX ENVIORMENT FORCE I assume environment force is 'required' as I don't believe EA dynamically adjust the shaders? SKYFORCE could be used for the ground textures but I assume the sky textures are redundant? Also, do you believe you need FS GLOBAL MESH (or other)? I know I felt it was necessary for V4 but LM updated the mesh data for V5. Thanks for your advice and saving a simmer some…

I've started having an issue with the PMDG 737NGXU while running P3d 4.5. For some reason, when I start a flight, the VC will not show up now. External views are fine. When I try the drop-down view list, the VC still doesn't show. Any suggestions on a fix will be welcomed. Thanx.

Whelp, I figured I'd throw this up here, because I've been back and forth with Majestic on this and there's no resolution, so I wanted to see if anyone else had this issue and a potential resolution. I went and downloaded the newest version from the Justflight website, it shows P3D v4 but the installer has a v5 option. I installed it just fine in v5 when I first started using the new sim, but reinstalled due to some weird behavior. Now, when I try to select the aircraft, it shows "No preview available" and will not load the airplane, it just keeps reloading the default F-35. I've: Installed as an administrator Completely deleted and reinstalled all the …

Now, I've handled this type of "issue" on numerous occasions: i.e., some random "night-lighting" texture blocks appearing during daytime flights and general "mismatching" scenery. Last time, the issue had to do with 3rd party land classes somehow mismatching with Orbx, i.e., FlyTampa Sydney. Now, it's happening all over the world! Haha. Anyways, besides hitting the "verify files" for over about a hundred different products (with airports included) and "Sync Simulator" on Orbx Central, what else can anyone recommend? Let's find the root of this issue and be done with trial and error.

Hi everyone.😀 How many is waiting for HF1? I was under the impression it was just around the corner I am still on 5.0HF2 . Stil only using v5 with FSL/PMDG/MaddogX/Majestic/ASP3D/Chaseplane Thanks Michael Moe

Hi, when I load a PMDG 737 or say a FSLabs A320 and choose a medium size gate for a cold and dark start - the plane appears with no wheels deployed and the programme crashes. Any idea what I need to do to fix this issue?

Hi all, Flying today to Helsinki I realized that P3D v5.1 thinks there is solar eclipse going on: Anyone knows why this is so wrong and if it can be fixed?

I have noticed that my scenery seem to shimmer and also like small boxes can be twinkling among trees. The shimmering have I seen in FSX and there it was removed with AF set to 16 and some AA setting. But these I already have in P3D. I think this has occurred after the 5.1 update. I use ORBX scenery. I just want to ask if someone else recognize this and might have a solution.

Lately I cannot get through Longitude W7* 30.00' As soon as the nose of my plane hits this line my sim (P3D v4.5) freezes and will not restart. Sometime the sounds are still working but that's it. If I click on any of my screens (I am using 3) anything to do with the sim greys out and I have to shut it down . Sometimes it crashes to disk on it's own. As long as I stay away from that longitude all is well. I have tried crossing at different lattitudes, some as far away as 200 miles but I cannot get past it. I even tried setting my location on the map to be L W9* 30' and that doesn't work either. I am flying an A2A Piper Comanche 250 In that region I am using ORBX Global B…

The first airport is out. I believe later he will be releasing Haneda Airport and Tokyo City later on.

under AS P3D (v5 ), my clouds flash, as you see them update. There is no slow coming in, or morphing of the cloud sets...nope...a FLASH, and a cloud pops in, or out. In older versions of AS or ASN, (remember?) there was a setting that allowed the clouds to slowly come in...removing this FLASH and a cloud set appears. If there is this option, I can't seem to find it, in AS P3D. Also a question to help me tune and such. Is anybody else running the present Beta, seeing their clouds flash, where by you also get a stutter, micro or major as the clouds are being drawn and 'updated'? I am, and would be very helpful if others who have this also report. I wonder if it i…

For P3D v4.5/5. Did not see this one coming... available on Aerosoft site Was planning on getting T2G version once being v5 compatible but may get this one instead based on reviews Shom

I just bought EFHK via ORBX from MKStudios! This is a GREAT example from a developer who has done great work with usage of PBR on many many objects, waterpuddles, snow, glas etc. AND: No shining objects through fog which is a evidence that this is NOT a P3D V5 BUG but just textures from older quality which NEED to be updated to be compatible with V5. EFHK looks great! Well rendered and outstanding performance, even with dynamic lighting at night I do not have any performance decrease on my end, even NOT within VR. Worth every penny....EUR 22!

Hey, guys, I got problems after purchasing and installing the G600 from Flight1. I use it in the Alabeo PA44 Seminole. Sometimes the screens stay black and I can only use the GTN but the G600 doesn't function. If the screens do function, the GTN doesn't connect to the G600 and it shows me "No GPS Position". The G600 manual says that it could happen when the GTN didn't make the self test yet. But after that the G600 stays with "No GPS Position". Anyone can help me please? 😅 PS: I downloaded and installed all Garmin trailers for GTN and G500/600

Really quick wanting to buy AI Traffic packaged which one is better Flight1 Traffic live or justflight global traffic Thanks

Finally got to do the v 5.1 upgrade. It looks good. The Enhanced Atmospherics are really photo-realistic. Only trouble is that most of the Carenado and other aircraft don't work. Parts of the aircraft are missing, controls don't map, and there are other problems. Does anybody know which aircraft are actually working?

I'm using P3Dv4.5HF3 and lately I've noticed no GA AI traffic showing up anywhere. I have a good mix of AI traffic packages: (1) AIG AI traffic, (2) MAIW, (3) Orbx FTX North America GA traffic, and (4) a trafficAircraft.bgl file edited with AIFP for GA traffic only. They have all worked together very well in the past and I have had an excellent (perfect?) mix of AI traffic without a problem for a long time. However, this week I noticed no GA traffic at any location or airborne in the sim. I'm not sure exactly when this started, although I did recently do a minor update from HF2 to HF3. Everything else about the sim is working fine, including the rest of the AI t…

GSX and KORD, both made by FSDT. Have set L2 as preferred exit (I even removed L1 as an exit), but still the jetway goes to L1... https://imgur.com/a/AzAZwaE You would think that two programmes made by FSDT would work properly. Any idea how I can get the jetways to use L2? Thanks, B

Last seen C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5\SimObjects\Animals\Dog I knew this sorcery of automagically finding things and populating folders and files all over Hell's Half Acre would come to no good. Please help me get Toby back. Also, my scenery is all screwed up despite using the magic "insertion point" spell from Orbx. Toby probably had something to do with that. "Please. I want to go home. I'm in some sort of airport."
