Good morning, I'm trying to reinstall a couple of old sceneries, including T2G LFPG into P3Dv4.5HF3 and it seems like I'm having default buildings bleeding through the scenery. I'm using xml method and all three elements (Scenery, Terrain, Layover) of the scenery have bee added separately. The SODE and DL patch have been installed also, Your recommendations would be much appreciated.

I'm getting this message all over the place in the menu system after changing an option. I have to cancel out of the menus each time. I've seen it in the weather, airport selection, vehicle selection, and time selection dialogs. This only happens when using the menus while a flight is active. Exit the flight, and all of them operate as they should from the scenerio screen. Is it just me or is anyone else seeing this?

Hi all, I am impressed there is still not a dedicated topic on this. Am I the only one to experience ? To me the virtual cockpits are incredibly dark. I can barely see any textures. The same for the aircraft exterior. It get too dark depending on angles. Here is a shot with the NGXu in broad daylight: Do you see the same?

P3Dv5.1: several AS airports, being not Activated in the library are causing a logging message about SODE. Anyone of you know what this is ? I have SODE 1.6.8. I am using EA. Thanks

Is there anything that can be done to get rid of or blend better the ugly white band that is very noticeable on the horizon at low altitudes? I'm Using P3D v5.1 with Active Sky.

Rather than have folks wade through 23 pages of history in the initial release thread to see what's up with v5.1, let's recap and proceed in a new thread. As I understand it, as of today (7 Nov 2020): This point update really needs you to install the content and scenery modules in addition to the client module. Though content/scenery are listed as optional, not installing them may cause issues or result in not having some of the fixes LM has made (e.g. scaleform windows used by ATC/Simconnect that caused crashes in v5.0 were replaced by HTML5 windows in the content module). ucrtbase.dll crashes were an early unhappy phenomena and found to be caused by chan…

101 question....somehow this got turned on and I can't figure out from where to turn it off? Does anyone recognize? Thank you. <img

After months of v5.0 use I updated to v5.1, client, content and sdk, and after figuring out the "Please correct errors or cancel" message that was blocking the use of Options UI (hint: it is a Weather problem unrelated to Options) I finally started to use P3Dv5.1 when I was stopped by the lack of GSX or SODE menus. They are both working, GSX displays the customize parking and settings normally, SODE DLL connectivity is good and will render one line messages but in neither case do I see any boxes with menus in them. I know the platform changed from Scaleform to HTML5 and it appears to me that all is good EXCEPT I don't ever see a HTML5 object. I checked the google w…

Hi anyone see the white ocean at night in P3DV5.1? is is so strange, what's wrong with it?

Hello, I have recently updated to P3D V5.1 and I have been having weird textures on the knobs and switches in the VC of the PMDG 737 NGXU. It has a sort of light blue reflection on the metal side of the switches (Fuel pump switch for example) Is there anyone else who has the same problems and please suggest a fix for it? Thank you.

When I open my P3Dv4.5 Options – Key Assignments page, my Controller Name lists four Controllers as follows: Mouse Yoke, Mouse Look, Logitech Joystick and T.16000M The Number window lists these as: 0-Mouse Yoke, 1-Mouse Look, 0-T.16000M, 1-Logitech G13 Joystick. I fly six different aircraft in rotation for IFR cross countries. Every flight opens with the G-13 settings, which are actually the old Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick settings. I have to open the Options key assignments page, where it reflects the G-13 as the controller and click on the T.16000M controller – then I’m good to go. Before I installed the Thrustmaster Joystick , the T.16000M, I flew …

Hello all, I have an annoying issue with 5.1 after a full reinstall. This is really bugging me, as soon as active sky loads in the current weather there's this weird black bar which appears. I will attach an image which shows this. Any help is greatly appreciated! **EDIT** I've narrowed it down to it being how the cloud shadows seem to interact with the ORBX trees. I'm clueless as to how to stop this.

There are various displays available on the Vertx DA62 but the one shown on this video at 8m 0s has defeated me. It shows what I think is the GPS display but for the life of me I cannot get it to show. Can anyone and what is its purpose?

Hi! Has anyone here heard anything about Global AI Ship Traffic https://www.flightsimnorway.com/addons/?funct=dl&pack=aishipsn and Simelite Solutions Time Zoon Fixer https://simelite.com/timeZoneFixer.php regarding P3Dv5 combability?

Good evening, Calling all scenery ninjas.... Is there a way we can fix the black scenary objects in v5.1 with EA on? Possibly using ModelConverterX? I know @Rob_Ainscoughmentioned something about changing flags over on the Orbx forums. I’m a fan of self-help if it’s possible. Thanks James.

Hello, if someone can help me please. I just purchased P3D 5.1, installed and I have an issue. The sim loads, the welcome window stays for some seconds and then shuts down. Someone can help me please?

Anyone having issues with this driver and flashing green boxes/ artifacts? I did also update to 5.1 thou not using EA mode. cheers mike

No matter what i select or de-select, I can not get ride of the ATC Window "Log Text" Anyone else?

I get repeatedly CTDs when I change the ai traffic percentages. I'm using AIG-OCI. It also happens, probably for the same reason, when changing time/date. Is anybody else observing this?

I am getting "non-sequential layer ordering within scenery library..." and would you like P3D to attempt to repair the issue. Every time I say yes nothing is happening and I get same error again. Can't figure which layer is not is not in sequence. I am using ORBX (everything). Any idea guys....?

Maintenance of my AI plane database is a never ending job. I have corrected hundreds of errors and issues over the years (many of which were only highlighted when I installed the FSReborn AI Lights Reborn Professional Edition), but I encountered another set this afternoon. During a flight from EGCN Doncaster Sheffield to EIDW Dublin in the PMDG 777F, I noted that an AI plane was referred to as "Giant 5219". In other words, it did not have "heavy" appended to it. Since I know that the GIANT call sign is for Atlas Air, I deduced that the plane in question was a 747, and therefore it should have included "heavy" in the ATC message. That made me decide to check all of the pla…

Hello all, I know this has been talked about a lot, i have read almost all articles and tried them as well but still no joy.... Is there a way to undock a window and move it to another monitor without massive frame drops . About 25 pct hit if i try to move a reality xp gps to a secondary monitor. As said i have tried most things but no solution yet .....

Hey guys, Any thoughts on PMDG 737 BBJ expansion. All I can tell from their website it has visual interior upgrades. Is that all it as? Technically, I fly the 737 NGXu as a BBJ anyway or whatever- you can reduce weight and load up on fuel (even change fuel in mid flight lol). I don't care about interior cabin graphics. Is there all this plane has (just interior cabin views) or the flying experience is different? - I am just confused about this expansion. Thanks I just dunno; I get a feel that this particular expansion is just pushed out to get some sales in between GFO and MSFS2020.

What do I have to do to remove DRZEWIECKI DESIGN - POLISH AIRPORTS VOL1 X (V5) FSX P3D completely? I still have red x's at the default airport where the SODE gates would be but I can't find xml to remove it in SODE folder.
