Hello, Whenever I do a flight, no matter what addon aircraft or scenery, at random times it starts to lag every second such as it freezes for a second, run for a second and freezes again and it does it continuously. I have tried applying around with the display setting such as turning Vysnc off or tripple buffering off and variable refresh rate on but the problem still occurs randomly. I have updated all my drivers to the latest version and have a GTX 1070 with a 75 HZ monitor. Please help thank you.

Hi, Short after its release on other sim platforms, Berlin Tegel is now available for v4.4+ and v5. This looks like a great rendition of this famous airport to replace my old Aerosoft one. Its available from Orbx since they are now selling through the OrbxDirect channel. Screensots are there too. https://orbxdirect.com/product/gaya-eddt I think this one is going to be very enjoyable to visit in P3D!👍

Using EA mode on in P3D V5.1 results in getting complete dark/black cockpit textures at all spaces where the sunbeam does not lighten them up. Also the outside textures on the shadow side of the plane are getting much too dark. This happens at Stock planes as well as at addons planes. Tested with LM F22, LM F16, Aerosoft A330 FSlabs A321 and FSLabs A320. Dynamic Reflections is set to medium and Exposure is set on. Is this an EA issue as the Stock planes also suffer from this? I posted it on LM Support Forum https://www.prepar3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6312&t=140104 NOTE: It takes some time to see this. I saw this after minimum 20 to 30 minutes …

Hello I am wondering if it's possible to increase the distance at which you can see lights from an airport at night in P3D? Sometimes it seems I have to be close to the airport for the lights to load even in places where there isn't a lot of autogen. Thanks

Good Morning From WIII, I have read a lot about rex environment force and active sky along with active sky cloud art but I still don't understand the difference of them. Can anyone help me to explain the differences of them? I want to get a flying experience that has realistic weather such as weather changes, texture of rain water, wind texture, etc. It might look like it's late to buy among the three, but I'm trying to improve my game and try a more real environment.

I recently purchased the Vertx DA62 and am running it in P3D V4.5 and v5. To make things easier for me I have used FSUIPC to map one of my hat switches to change the heading bug and the course needle. This works well in almost all of my aircraft. In the Vertx however only the course needle mapping works. I've looked for a way to map the heading bug to either the keyboard or my hat switch but have not been able to find any way of doing this. I have tried to just use the mouse to control the heading bug but really hate the way that works. I have to spin and spin my mouse wheel just to get the heading bug to move a little and then after a while the bug just takes off. …

This is a V5.1 "Happy Thread"! Why? Well, I'm usually a positive person, but members of this forum will remember that ONLY V5 used to cause me to have gradual deteriorating performance. I try to be helpful and generally optimistic in all my threads (you can check), but V5 caused me great aggravation because as my flights got to around 100+ miles, I would see stuttering, and texture erasures on planes, and lots of other abnormalities. I tried everything...but to no avail. Most times I had to Ctrl/Alt/Del to get out of the sim. I complained about it quite a bit. I even spoke with Jetline Technical Service (my computer build company), and they ALSO admitted that it wa…

Pulled up at stand B56 at DD's KEWR. GSX menu says "No Jetways Here" (standard annoying GSX message!) however using SODE (Tab-S), jetways dock perfectly. How can I get GSX to see the SODE jetways? Although when I request deboarding through GSX I now get this mess of jetways and stairs... https://imgur.com/lF0nDxI

Getting a message in V5.1 as the sim starts, and it says that it's a P3d Connector notification. It seems that this is an incompatible P3d version for the connector. Anyone else getting this notification? How is it resolved? Thanks.

I posted several screenshots about the ugly EA mode cloud grid pattern with the updated (also in beta present) at V5.1. Link Screenshots and Posts on LM forum This is what I got back from a Beta tester...... Jaw dropping and hopefully not representative of how LM will handle our reports and inputs. Quoted from LM Forum this day: @ MPO910, If i were flying a jetliner flight and looked out of the VC cockpit and seen your screenshot I would not thing anything bad about it. Just keep scanning the gauges and enjoying the flight. Not: I do not fly the plane(s) from outside views. Best Regards, Vaughan Martell (KDTW) .

Does anyone here use EireSim Cork Ultimate in P3D? I noticed a problem with the main terminal building (it was a hollow shell with the roof and all internal detail missing) in P3D v2.4 nearly three years ago, and mentioned it on the EireSim forum at that time. The developer was going to look into it, but repeated requests for an update failed to produce a response. I last posted on the EireSim forum about this in July 2015, and that is still the most recent reply! I decided to check this afternoon to see if the problem remains in P3D v3.3.5, and unfortunately it does. I was hoping to have had this issue resolved a long time ago, so I just wondered if other AVSIM memb…

Please follow my link to LM Support forum and see the pictures yourself I posted overthere... Now EA is out of Beta I am asking myself if we just have to live with this annoying and BETA Looking LIKE EA Mode within the newest P3D V5.1. Maybe I have to remind all of us that this was 1 Selling point LM advertised with, after it was released with V5.0 it came out it is in BETA, yes AFTER the released the product. Prior initial release LM did NOT state it will be released as BETA. Now, 6 Months later........out of BETA but the most "issues" still in there. Please take your time and watch the pictures. Maybe react at LM Support forum on my postings to get s…

I've written about it before but it's worth saying again for those not familiar. This app is the primary reason I continue using P3D 4.5. They are hoping to port to MSFS but await improvements in the SDK for LVARs. FSCaptain (FSC) allows you to create an airline, and a pilot and tracks your piloting performance and scores each flight plus keeps a record of your grade and earnings as a pilot. Flight crew is present and interacts aptly w/ the pilot. It's is well-integrated w/ GSX I/II even to the point of anti-ice treatments preflight, and the enroute interactions you will have with its FMC-like gauge. Today I did a flight from KSLC to KPDX in the NGXu. A…
