My sim is P3dv4.5 ....and just recently have I encountered this strange behaviour. Doesn't matter what plane I'm flying,when I reach the altitude I need,I turn on the A/P....but when releasing the ALT.button in order to descend the aircraft suddenly flares up and climbs into a stall. Is there some procedure I'm missing. I've searched in vain to find an answer !! Thanks for any help... Skip d

Not exactly hopeful this statement 😞 Mathijs Kok: "We are not major fans of V5 at this moment and commercially P3D has flatlined" https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/155798-twin-compatibility/&do=findComment&comment=996078 regards ggerolamo

I'm stumped on this one. Have any of you had this issue? I have tried deleting my CFG file with no success. This happened after I installed the Milviz F-4 last night. I have noticed that it only happens when I change my AA from default. I'll attach my P3d CFG, along with my Scenery CFG. I have also already verified all of my ORBX files. Thanks for any help! My PC Specs: i9 9900k EVGA RTX 2080Ti Two Samsung Evo SSD 32GB Corsair Vengeance RAM P3D.CFG [GRAPHICS] SCREEN_CAPTURE_MAX_JOBS=10 VIDEO_CAPTURE_WIDTH=720 VIDEO_CAPTURE_HEIGHT=480 VIDEO_CAPTURE_FPS=30 …

Or is FSDT really the only one? Does FSDT KLAX behave in V5? (I've got Vancouver, that's ok). Thx, Karl

Hi Does anyone know of a good interior soundset for the likes of wingviews? Specifically for the 737NG series. I'd like to capture some fotoage etc using the wingview of the PMDG but the sound is external not the interior. Any help would be appreciated. TIA

Let me explain my question a little further. Currently, when I start in my P3D Project Airbus Airbus 318/319/320 I will see a solid yellow Master Caution light on and a Master Warning light flashing. I click on them and they go off. I am trying to recreate the lights with my Saitek BIP panel so my question is more related to what system failure (or combination) causes these to illuminate? I am not a systems guy - just trying to recreate. These are not "study level" aircraft so I know not all systems are even close to being modeled. But something is triggering these on/off. If anyone who knows about this, appreciate any input. Clutch

After having moved to V5 HF2 I have been trying to get the sim to display a crisp and clear sunny day that would be close to real life. I've tried the default textures with no shaders, with Envshade and with the Nvidia panel, but always get a sort of a washout look and it never looks sharp as it would be in a clear sunny day. Didn't have issues in 4.5 and was wondering if anyone has any settings they would recommend to at least get close to reality. Otherwise performance is good and looking forward to the next version release. regards

It seems to install OK. Everything is there and the engines start. But about 4 or 5 minutes into a flight the panels go dark and the engines start winding down as if the generators haven't been turned on. Bu there is no way to turn the generators on. The overhead panel is for looks only. Is this a known condition and if it is, is there a fix for it? Noel

If anyone from LM's Prepar3d is listening, here it is. The community has been abuzz surrounding the release of MSFS2020 this past week. There’s an interesting business read entitled “The innovator’s dilemma” by Clayton Christenson that came out some years ago. In a nutshell he talks about developing technologies and how they can be obsoleted before the technology matures as technology enables micro improvements during the product maturation life-cycle. I think the P3D product falls squarely in the what he describes as ‘sustaining technologies’ category it being a legacy product and that FS2020 is ‘disruptive’ because it’s solved problems previous platforms have been eith…

Only thing keeping me from upgrading to V5 (DX12) is the fact that I have a 2080 Super with only 8GB of VRAM. Plan on doing most flying with my PMDG heavies over ORBX TE Regions with add-on Airports with heavy AI traffic and Activesky live weather... Will I get CTD's due to lack of VRAM in these settings when playing? Thanks!

Hi, I installed the version of Vector for P3Dv5. The only parameter checked is Beaches. All other options are unchecked. On EGHI as soon as I look south, fps drop to 2 or 3! After disabling Vector, the problem disappears. Am I alone with this issue? Is there a possible solution (e.g. some files to put Off?)? Thank you, Richard.

just thought it was important to note Traffic Global Early Access for P3D has been updated, i really like this addon - saved me a lot of time - sorta like not making GBs of ortho - when MFS is here with streaming data, & you can add your very own flight plans into your AI flight database, one of my favourite addons - with AILRP.

Since FSDT's support interest seems to be waning, I would like to know how many users of GSX have had the following issue and if so, how, if at all did you resolve it; When activating a jetway, either to the aircraft or before departure, there is a red light, some times 2 lights, one in each corner of the jetway, above the door, which would flash (in FSX) to indicate the jetway is in motion. In P3d v5 (my install anyways), they remain off. Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks

And it was fabulous! I will not be getting rid of P3dv5 any time soon. As I am a tubeliner guy, nothing beats P3dv5 as of now (my opinion of course). It was even better than I remembered with my short flight in the PMDG 737. Cheers, Pete

Hello, I have P3D version 4.5 installed, specifically version 4.5.12.30293. I have seen that on the P3D website I have the option to download an updated version, specifically version 4.5.14.34698. I would like to know if: a) Is it worth installing this new update? b) Can P3D be updated without having to uninstall the old version together with all installed addons? Thanks in advance a greeting
