I am currently using AIG-OCI for my AI traffic. And I often see this happening where multiplanes would be parked one behind another while holding short at the runway, and also find that multiplanes coming in for arrival being so close to one another, that the plane behind often has to perform a go around. How to prevent this unrealistic behavior? male names that start with j

From above , I think ultra LOD is better crisp than ever before so ? :-) Has it changed ? Michael Moe

Hi, I have been trying to clear up some space on my c drive and low and behold I copied the contents of the documents folder to my desktop and moved the original documents folder to my d drive to make some space. I went to move it back later in the evening and realised the default c/users/documents/ folder was deleted. I stioll have the contents of the folder including the p3d Add ons folder, but my p3dv4.5 is now giving a scenery config error on startup for the few sceneries that were installed using the add ons document folder method. I wonder could someone help about what I should do? Its a couple of UK2000 sceneries that are in the scenery config messsages, I have del…

So I'm guessing this warning is coming up due to runway length and TOW. However, it's a bit bemusing to me as there's a shed load of runway left at rotate. Any pros / irl pilots on here know if this is accurate? Moving the throttle to TOGA removes all warnings. Additionally, is there anyway to retrieve information on whether TOGA or flex is to be used? Need to change my name on the fslabs forum, but I know this belongs there, although any and all help is greatly appreciated! Cheers.

I couldn't find a Virtavia forum - I'm looking to see if anyone has had success with Virtavia's C-17 in P3Dv5HF2? http://www.virtavia.com/gallery_C-17.html Thanks! sg EDIT: I did find a tech support email for them, so I'll report back here if I learn anything. I'd still like to hear any feedback from the community though! Thanks.

HF website states for both are good for v4.5HF3, but what is the difference besides the fact that 7514 is open beta?

Hi, I recently installed STKP and from first glance I am really impressed with the number of features but I have what should be a simple answer to a simple question. In the Settings, there are 4 sliders that control 4 range ring settings. All are set to values greater than zero. My understanding is this applies to the Live Map view however I do not see them displayed. Is there any other setting to enable this? I have STKP connected to P3Dv5 and I do not see any range rings at the location where my aircraft is situated nor at any airport. Thanks Mark

Hi, please someone can help me please? Try to uninstall a application from programs and features and even I get a notification that was successful still exist. Any way for force uninstall? Please advise thank you geo Quote Edit

First of all, I am aware both AS P3D and EA/trueSKY are in beta, so what follows is not a complaint. (Even in it's current state, it's already a game changer imo.) I noticed that when I have both of them running, it sometimes happens that EA is suddenly turned off, which I believe is caused by AS. I could replicate the situation: FlyTampa EKCH, runway 04R, PMDG 737 NGXu: EA is deactivated quickly after loading the scenario with AS turned on. EA is not deactivated at all after loading the scenario with AS turned off. So, everything else being equal, AS looks to be the culprit. My question, is this a random glitch or a conscious effort to save VRAM …

I am currently experiencing a strange issue. When I launch the PMDG 747-8 or 737 NGXu (having first loaded the default raptor) - the PMDG craft goes through the process of loading, and then either deploys the wheels whilst on the ground - which causes a crash - or just tilt backs on the tail, also causing a crash. Anyone got an idea of whats happening and how I fix it.

What is the max res please?

Greetings all, Hey, just wondering if anyone is using any of the old (or new) Prepar3d.cfg weaks for V5? Have they all been put to rest or any still of use in V5? Thanks in advance D-Man

Hi, I wanted to ask for advice on uninstalling P3D4. I will have to uninstall P3D4 from my primary pc to install it on a secondary pc. Should I also remove the license? So can I install it on the secondary PC or lose the license without being able to install it forever? Thank you.

Hi guys, So, as many of us are still stuck in lock down or just reduced hours at work I decided to make Kortrijk Airport (EBKT) in ADE. I watched many videos on how to start and got quite far. I have placed taxiways in the most up to date place (as the actual real airport is undergoing some works to add taxiways and new aprons etc.) I also drew the airport with all taxiways and aprons to the best of my knowledge in SketchUP, added textures to the polygons etc. however now I am facing the fact that I have no clue how to position this over the AFCAD file I drew in ADE to ensure they match (edges of taxiways, aprons etc?). So if anyone more knowledgeable would be able t…

So I wanted to add in traffic to VHHX in P3dv5 since I have the scenery. I also currently have AIG traffic installed. The problem is that when I install the Kai Tack traffic blg, I lose all my AIG traffic and only the Kai tak traffic turns up. Only when I remove the KAI Tak traffic bgl do I see a return of the AIG traffic. Does anyone else have this problem with any traffic file?

Hello, I just purchased a TM rudder pedal and I went to their website and installed the most current driver. For some reason P3Dv4.5 has it listed in the controls drop down but I can’t actually calibrate the pedals to work properly. In the sim whenever I move the pedals either forward or back or press the toe brakes, it actually moves all of the controls but the rudders. I can still move my MSFFB2 Joystick normally as well but the pedals seem to have a life on their own. How can I properly assign them to just move the aircrafts rudder? Thanks for the assistance!

On what looks like a quite random basis I occasionally get duplicate instances of P3D4.5 HF3 on startup as monitored through Task Manager. This happens whether or not my PC has been shutdown before starting up P3D. If I don't close down both instances of P3D immediately it creates quite a mess. Any clues? Bruceb

hi all, I am currently still using p3d v4.5 hf2. If I update to hf3, do I need to update all my add on airports and programs such as active sky and asca? Thanks in advance. Ash allen

There's a lot of excitement with the imminent release of MSFS2020. As simmers, most of us will eagerly part ways with our hard earned dollars in search of the perfect weather app, scenery, aircraft add-on or hardware combination that will make our experience as real as possible without ever leaving the ground. Truth is, if you're anything like me, you've probably spent thousands over the years on this hobby. And for the most part, its been worthwhile. I would guess the key things we look for in a sim are realism for 1) scenery, 2) weather and 3) aircraft. The out of the box promise, expectation and excitement about MSFS2020 comes from the perception that Microsoft h…
