Hi, I am wanting to add some decent airports to my sim. Up until now, I've always spent my money on other types of scenery but now that I have a tons of scenery of all other kinds, I am finally looking for nice airports to add because the default airports are getting quite boring and since no one ever made nice quality airport building textures for P3Dv5, I'm looking into payware airports as well as decent quality freeware airports as well. Really, anything is better than the poorly designed default airport building textures that P3Dv5 has. I did try Zinertek's HD Airports add-on and while the buildings all look a little better than default, they all have the exact sam…

Look at orbx direct upcoming products. EGLC v2 coming for v5 and v6. Up to date. Further TE GB South and LC Europe and libraries for v6. Makes me very happy.

Hello, I want to buy the ImagineSim Singapore scenery and the V5 version is more updated than the V4 and I wanted to know if there will be any conflict in P3D V4

Hi, I remember reading somewhere in a post a long time ago that you can change a setting in a config file somewhere to double the amount of house`s showing. Can anybody guide me how to do this. Cheers

Hello, I wanted to know if there is any way possible to fix the problem in P3Dv5 that the water turns an inky black color when flying at high altitudes? It is so unrealistic and looks terrible and I've always wanted to try to fix this. When I first takeoff and I'm flying low, the water does have a blueish tint to it but when I get to about 20,000 to 30,000 feet it's pitch black. I was thinking if there is a specific texture that is causing this then maybe I can edit the texture to look more realistic but I have no idea how to figure out which texture is causing this. I would appreciate any help, Thanks

simMarket: SXAD TUCSON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT P3D Just released after being done for the other sim earlier, Tucson (KTUS) is now released for P3D. Currently for P3D v5 and v6, v4 support will follow soon. Included:

Traffic Global won't start, when i click few time appears that airport lookup can't open, file may be missing or open in another appication, how do i find that out?, i don't understand, i need informations and help with that, please let me know, it has work before i reseted the PC.

I bought TropicalSim SBGR from SimMarket yesterday. Nice airport and the sale is appreciated. But on loading the data into Aivlasoft's EFB the departure and arrival procedures are incorrect. It seems the runway designations and one ILS ident have changed. I have corrected the AFCAD using Herve's utility but can't change taxiway signs and runway markings. I've written to TS and hopefully they'll release an update. A once in 20 year change. Fingers crossed.

Does anyone reading this know if CoolSky made a Navy (C-9) Skytrain version or nightingale? There is a forum for this merch but like most tried and true devs then have jumped ship for the MSFS 2020 side where the benjamins are and closed their forum.

Hello I have installed Traffic Global for P3D v5. Unfortunately even though all traffic is set at 100% there is no traffic at departure airport on the tarmac. If I press the view Aircraft traffic in views I see some airplanes in the sky. When I arrived and landed in KJFK I was the only plane on the ground. ….a ghost sirport so far from reality. How can I solve this problem. I am considering ultimately uninstalling Traffic global, how should I proceed .? is there a good traffic add on wich is easy to install? Thanks in advance

Hello when I opened my p3d v5 I am by default in spring and there is snow. I changed for autumn. When flying eith Orbx there is part of the scenery wich are still in winter white . How can I solve that? thanks P.S.where can I post pictures

I log in and Orbx says I'm using MSFS. I change it to P3D and save it after entering the path. Now I have MSFS and DCS but still no P3D. Any ideas? Thanks.

I appreciate this airport was designed for FSX and P3D up to v3 but does anyone know if the bleedthrough can be corrected? See attached image. Whilst the runway numbers are visible the texture is missing as is the taxiway ones. I've edited the AFCAD to adjust airport altitude and the feet of the avatar just touch the ground so that appears correct. No one else has done Rio and its long runway makes it ideal for heavies.

Hello, I am setting my controllers with FSUIPC6 and data are not saved: When I shut down and reload the sim (P3Dv5), all settings are absents and the file FSUIPC.ini date is unchanged. I was wondering if another .ini file was created but none is found. Can you help? Regards Bruno

Hello folks... I havent flown in the sim for a while, booted up at KSFO and found this mess..... I have tried the following... Checked FS scenery Library - No obvious issues Rsynced the sim in ORBX Central Reloaded textures for both FTX Global and NA Deleted the Scenery CFG - Let P3D build it again... This then seemed to fix the issue only then to reappear a few restarts later? Any ideas? https://imgur.com/O8oTpJ0 https://imgur.com/LjK8U69https://imgur.com/LjK8U69 https://imgur.com/OaDprbc https://imgur.com/5Ok1jGE https://imgur.com/O8oTpJ0https://imgur.com/IJpCBrE As you might noti…

Hi, is anybody here who has or had problems mit GSX bording/debording as well as loading/unloading? There are a lot of complaints at the so called "support" forum at FSDT, but so far no one from FSDT has any comment on it. Virtuali usual answer, "get an update" make it even more worst, at least for me. Re-installing a back up of the FSDT add-on-manager give me partially solution for the 737 only, but nothing for Airbus Peter

Has anyone got any experience with the UNS-1 from Flight Deck Software? Would like to add it to the Flysimware Lear 35 in P3d.

It's all in the title of the topic. Finally a new version of YMML is coming to v5 and v6. ORBX also made an installer for global base for v6. A good start I think. Hope more will follow. Rein

Hello all! I built a PC in July for the first time, here’s the highlights: Ryzen 9 7950x3D MSI RTX 4080 Super Suprim X 64 GB DDR5-6000 CL30 RAM Samsung 990 Pro 4TB PCIe 4.0 NVME Corsair RM850x (2021) This PC is a monster at gaming and anything I throw at it. But I’m wondering if it’s being sold short with the GPU, as psychotic that is of me to say. My GPU utilization averages between 70-100% in almost all circumstances with VRAM not going beyond 11GB at a max. While the VRAM usage is within its means, would I get any benefit from stepping up to a 4090 given the utilization I have now? (I’m pretty sure would have to upgra…

I never have problem with PFPX until P3Dv6 installation. PFPX no longer transferring current AIRAC via Export to PMDG 900. Can you me please help to solve this problem.

Hello all, In mid-July I built a PC for the first time, here are some basic specs: Ryzen 9 7950x3D MSI RTX 4080 Super Suprim X G. Skill Ripjaw 2x32 GB DDR5-6000 CL30 Samsung 990 Pro 4TB PCIe 4.0 NVME Here's a link to the full build for anyone who's curious: This is absolutely a strong build for flight simulation, but I'm a little concerned that 16GB VRAM may not be enough when I'm running a whole host of top addons in P3Dv5.4 (PMDG, Aerosoft, LatinVFR, ORBx, etc). I have my settings mostly maxed out and get above 40 fps during cruise and somewhere between 25-40 fps near and on the ground, depending on where I'm at. I really enjoy doing…

As title suggest what options are currently available for P3D for above? If I remember there was one option which was once available on Boston ARTCC (don't know what it was called) but that is not available anymore. Any other options? I can't find much on Vatsim either, IVAO uses it own software but they aren't compatible to one another.

When looking out in the cockpit view of the AeroSoft PBY , the nose of the aircraft doesn't look right IMHO. It seems a bit off. Any users of this aircraft know if that issue was ever corrected or have a fix for this?

Did Orbx ever have a scenery for Nelson (NZNR)? I have been flying in New Zealand and I don't have a scenery for Nelson. I could be wrong but I thought Orbx made a scenery for Nelson. When I went to the Orbx website they only have four New Zealand sceneries. I could have sworn they had more than that?

😊 Hej There PSXT shuts down when i press to start it.
