I have seen somewhere a guide that has instructions how to force AI to enter runway for departure from 2 taxiways simultaneously (see screenshot). I can't find it anymore, if maybe someone can point..... I have a working RKSI with this nice thing, but I cannot replicate it in Kuala Lumpur (((

ADE file including Terminal C (available here online separately @avsim) I have added SODE jetways for Terminal C gates manually (non-GSX) available upon request https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rEwokCrouQYukoVVetrDLSZA19RjuSZV/view?usp=sharing

Just a heads up. With the latest Nvidia graphic card driver installed (595.97) you cannot turn the "Enable HDR lighting" option off in P3D. For those of us that use the RTX Dynamic Vibrance option the HDR option has to be turned off for it to work properly. I reverted back to the previous driver (595.79) and the HDR option can be turned off again. Edit: Forgot to mention that in order to turn off HDR in P3D you have to open the P3D cfg file and change HRD=1 to HDR=0. With the newest driver even if you have HDR=0 it will still be on in the sim.

I did a rigorous flight test in the CS L1011 today in p3d live with Q&A, including the stall test, Power Assist, Hydraulics, alternate gear, DLC test, spoiler, engine relight, jettision and more! Had fun and hope the Inibuilds L1011 lives up to the same high fidelity standard 🙂

Hello, I want to avoid a Dual boot... So my question is : is it possible (allowed) to install 2 (two) LM P3D 6.11 in the same partition onto 2 different folders or ssd? 1 P3d with all my updates/mods and the other the default version. Thanks in advance

Using Navigraph for the AIRAC update is pretty simple, but has a way been found to update the different payware aircraft navigation systems data? For example I tried to use the G1000 on the Carenado Phenom 100 but realised after all these years that the data is nearly 15 years old! It doesnt have departure procedures for quite a few airports (or at least the ones I tried). I know that I can used RealityXP GTN (as I do with the Carenado PC 12 mod) but that sort of defeats the object.

When editing my launching scripts for Prepar3D I was reminded that there will be certain area numbers in the scenery.cfg file where the corresponding layer number does not increase commensurately. So for example, when the area number increments by 1, the layer number might increment by 2, thus bypassing a particular layer number altogether whereas area numbers never do this (at least from what I have seen). If ORBX Central for example, updates my scenery.cfg file, it will purposely jump 5 layer numbers at one point where the area number only jumps by its usual 1. I have always wondered....what is the reason for this? Why do the layer numbers jump "ahead" of the area …

Hello, I have the following problem. After reinstalling Windows 11 and P3D v5.4, my G-Sync isn't working properly. I've set G-Sync to fullscreen mode in the Nvidia Control Panel, but P3D is running in windowed mode. How is that possible? It didn't work like this before.

Over the last six weeks I've been flying around the world in a PMDG 777-200 visiting places I don't get to very often. It's something I only do every now and then and always in winter when there's not much to do outside. All flights were planned using PFPX and a BA livery flown throughout with a minimum of 200 pax and random cargo. I didn't call it a round a world tour as I avoided flying across the Pacific. But every continent was visited and seeing all the different airlines at each airport courtesy of AIG made it a very enjoyable experience. Radar Contact v4 was used for ATC and remains one of the best around despite being over 20 years old. I know a lot of s…

Title says it all. Tried to download available Prepar3Dv54.9.28482 from prepar3d.com and received an "empty" .zip file which of course will not open. Also got 2 PART files,one of 3,328,605KB,the other of 204,256 KB, both in zip.part format. Please help.

I am now evaluating the possibility to upgrade to win11 from win10 and I 'm making a research about possible compatibility issues for some sim tools I currently use. These are : ADE 1.79, AI Flow & AI Ground, AIFP3, AI-aircraft Editor, AITA2014, STBv5 (P3D), and SceneryConfigEditor v1.1.9. Any issues reported with win11 ? Thanks, Sotiris

I started having a loading issue with P3dv5.4 last week. I was getting a start up but the sim loaded a BLACK SCREEN. I did a myriad of things to fix this: I uninstalled Client, Content, and Scenery and reinstalled same; I looked at all recent addons and tried to determine if anything could have caused this so-called "crash". P3d was loaded, but there was no image on the monitor. So, I actually uninstalled P3d and all of my painstaking installations of planes, scenery, utilities, etc. I reinstalled it and started fresh. I called Jetline (my computer manufacturer) and spoke to them about it. They got into my computer with ANY DESK and deleted many temp files and…

I use FSPXAI for my AI planes in P3D (v5.4). All of my FSPXAI 737 (700,800, and 900) planes have lost their winglets and scimitars. The winglets and scimitars were showing in the sim a few days ago but now they are gone. Any idea what could have happened? Any ideas on how to get them to show again? These are the AI planes I am talking about simMarket: BOEING B737NG FOR P3DV4V5 AI-TRAFFIC PS: I did email FSPXAI and few days ago but so far haven't heard back.

Hello simmer community. I downloaded and installed the Nigeria and Zambia airports from Simmershome. These scenery packages are pretty good, but the problem is that there are trees on the runways, taxiways, and parking areas. Is there a way to get rid of them? If anyone has a solution, that would be wonderful. Dominique

I have the TFDI 717 on OrbX, and it works as it should via Orbx Central in v5. Is it possible to install it in v6 though? I have seen a video on youtube where it is fully working, but I am unable to get it to function properly. I have read that their are official installers for v6 but I cannot find them or any reference to them on TFDI's website. I have tried searching on AVSIM and various search engines without any success.

I'm trying to SAVE a change I'm making to a MODEL folder of a particular TDS plane in P3d 5.4. The reason I'm trying to do this is because there are instructions regarding this for TDS planes. I was affected by the Windows update that made all my TDS planes end up with half wings. I've been trying to remedy this and I've arrived at an impasse. The instructions say to SAVE a line to the MODEL file in the original plane. However, when I hit SAVE, the folder doesn't save it....the SAVE command sends me to a folder on my desktop where I store passwords and other important notes. How do I make the file accept my change? Thanks

Hi Just wondering if anyone has a solution for running SODE in both P3Dv5 & 6 on the same computer? I have SODE v1.7 installed currently, working fine for P3D v5. However I can't see any jetways in P3Dv6 after activating SODE. The latest online conversation I can find suggests SODE v1.8 is required for P3Dv6, but I have read it caused problems in P3Dv5. However when I try and install SODE v1.8 it seeks to over-ride v 1.7. In summary how can I have both SODE versions installed and applied to the effective P3D platforms? cheers

Hello, I'm trying to decide between 2 laptops for p3d within my budget. The first laptop is a Dell xps 9510, it has an i7 11800h processor, with an rtx 3050 45watts, 16gb ram, and 512gb ssd. The second option is a razer blade 2019, it has an i7 9750h, gtx 1660ti 80 watts, 16gb ram, and 512 gb ssd. The xps has a much better cpu, but the razer has the better gpu. I have p3d v4. I wish I can go for something more powerful, but that's all I can afford

I have some POSKY 737-700's, 737-800's and 737-900's and I do enjoy flying them. However, I'm a lover of wing views. These planes do not show wings when toggling through the views. Is there a method or a configuration insert that would allow me to add wing views with these planes (and others, possibly). I'd appreciate any input on this if you've found a way to do this. I'm running P3dv5.4.

Hello all, I am currently running SODE 1.8 on P3D 5.4. I have seen Virtuali and Ray mention some SODE problems with 1.8 - and would like to try 1.7.1 to see if it makes a difference with some choppy jetway loading that happens at FSDT airports from time to time. Don't recall always having this issue, and at some stage unbeknown to me, 1.8 has been installed (probably ORBX a while back - I seem to remember it kept trying to change it). Would any one have a copy of 1.7.1 they can share with me, as the 12bpilot site seems to be down/looking for some sort of login that it never did. @Ray ProudfootWhat problems have you experienced with 1.8? Thanks fo…

Hello all, today I loaded into my EGLL simwings scenery for a flight I was going to do. When I went to the GSX control panel within the sim and selected the jetway(s) option my sode jetway disappeared then after gave me a message saying " All active Jetways stopped due to Main Module (exe) Reset/Disconnection! (N=1). I did try to trouble shoot, such as un-registering and registering SODE, I've tried clean install and older versions (I am on V 1.8) and nothing has worked. I am wondering if anybody else has experienced this issue before and if they have a solution, any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I have a very annoying haze wall in v5.4 that I have unable to get rid of using ENVPLUS or RDShade and was hoping someone would have some insight. The haze wall is present with both EA on and off, but much more pronounced with EA on. The haze wall is not there until I open Active Sky (Version 8557). When active sky is not running, the haze wall is not there. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to remove it? I've tried messing with visibility settings in Active Sky, manually increase LOD radius in the prepar3d.cfg, increasing cloud draw distance as well as multiple settings in the aforementioned shader programs but have been unsuccessful. Any insight…

I am going to livestream a full Concorde revenue flight performing all 3 captains duties in the sim - Including Fuel Management. This is the FSLabs Concorde for P3dV5.4. Here's a trailer 🙂

Anyone using Tobii or Beam devices for P3dv5.4? Do either of them work as advertised? I like the idea of not wearing reflectors/IR LEDs and the fact that they are said to be unaffected by ambient light. Hugh price difference twixt Tobii and Beam, however, where Beam is concerned, I am not crazy about using my phone as a tracking device (if I understand the method correctly). I would consider Track IR if I were reasonably sure that it was consistently reliable and didn't jump around like a deranged rabbit when light affected it. Years ago I had a Track IR3 which worked ok but was really went wonky with ambient light and of course there's the hat... Would app…
