Simple question are Approach/ Taxi lights only really visible at Dusk/Night in P3D V4? I can see mine at night but not during day where really you should be able to see them as per the real thing Thanks

I am still getting the problems of frame rates dropping every 3 to 5 seconds and the sim becoming a slide show over time. Flew yesterday from KBOS to KSFO in the PMDG744. The frame counter is high (30 to 80 depending on ground or air) and then drops down to 7 or 12 or lower for a split second then back up. By the time I got to SFO it was a longer drop, especially on approach and became a slide show. Just horrible and completely unusable in its current state. It is actually better than before HF2 but something is very wrong.

Hi all, I have been running and tweaking V5 for a few weeks now, and was all set to take it live and start flying regular flights. I loaded up the Carenado C208 EX at 11:00 PM and turned on my lights and could barely see them shinning on the tarmac. Think OK maybe its just the 208. I tried the C210 and it worked fine, an old version of a DHC-2 beaver and lights are all fine. Loaded up the Alabeo C207 and mostly invisible lights on the tarmac. Most stock AC (Mooney) seem OK. OK So I have pictures up on Google if you want to look at them. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1S6imV0A1ij1KBXGiLhjyxLamCZCXvVtJ?usp=sharing Thought maybe something was messed …

Hello everyone, GSX Boarding! Are you tiered hearing the same "Hello", "I'm right next to her", "I'm doing good" over and over again while boarding your flight? I made this little sound which will replace the default GSX boarding sound. Download link is in the video description. Happy flying Download here Please remove if not wanted or allowed :)

I'm trying to install and register FSUIPC4. After install, I'm asked for Name, Email, FSUIPC4 key but also a WideFS Key which I don't have. I've tried leaving the WideFS box blank, putting in the FSUIPC4 key as well. Can anyone help? There's nothing about this in the manual. Cheers

Hello - I have a problem I can't seem to solve. I am using P3dv5 with Orbx Global Base and Orbx KSAN (I don't use Vector). The airport looks terrible. It appears to be a mixture of default buildings and Orbx buildings. I don't use any other SoCal addons so I am at a loss as to what is causing this. Has anyone else seen this issue? Cheers, Pete

Hey guys I would like your input please on this bird for v5. wanting to purchase but skeptical at that price. any bugs that need to be resolved? performance? thanks mike

I remember in P3Dv4.5 the fog was inconvenient and I turned it off. What to do in P3Dv5?

Hello all, Haven't used the stock Lightning II in P3D v4.5 yet, decided to give it a spin, not too sure how to work the engine nozzle to 'hover' though, like you see done at airshow displays. I googled it, get a fair amount of pages on how it works, and the real thing, but not alot about the P3D one. A couple of video's are shown outside, and other shows it doing it from the ground on a vertical lift off, by pressing the dump fuel, then the VTOL button and then changing the mode to Hover. I can't see how to change it to Hover in the air, the HOOK/VTOL button doesn't change it, and pressing 'Dump' doesn't dump the fuel either. I can't find much else in what to do…

Hello everyone. Yesterday I bought P3D v5. I'm interested in connecting to the Vatsim network so I downloaded vPilot and FLAi for the model matching. vPilot only recognizes the default model that came with P3D and I am having a lot of trouble getting vPilot to recognize the FLAi models installed not in the P3D folder. I tried reading this topic but It they use way too complicated words in the post. I tried searching the FLAi .vmr file but couldn't find It. I have no idea what to do. Can someone please help me? Thank you very mcuh. Yuval.

is out, and I was wondering why there's no topic about. Now, here it is ... Can not say anything more, but I'm pretty sure it will arrive on my sim as soon as I'm back from work.

Hello, P3D V4.5 (WIN 10 64 BIT I have assigned a key to "ARM" the spoilers prior to touch down, when I select key Spoilers deploy in the air this is not supposed to happen once spoilers armed the usual deployment is caused by the air /ground sense typical via a teleflex cable (old school) from the maim gear under carriage, I followed the procedure by going to the G1000 Soft Key No 6 in the controls menu is this a fault with S/Ware or have I done something wrong. Please advise fix. Best Regards Charlie McEwan

I already asked on Facebook, but they could not solve my problem. My FSL A320 X does not turn while taxiing in Prepar3D V4. The nose wheel moves when I move the tiller (which also visually moves), and it also moves by the rudder to a lesser degree, just as it should be. But the plane keeps going straight ahead. I have no addons running, simple weather setup, no weather injector. I have tried updating the FSX A320 X to the recent version, but that does not help. Any ideas? See this video on Youtube:

Hey guys, i was just wondering, why nobody is creating one of the newer modern business jets from bombardier (global, challenger). I know that Gulfstream is not allowing to do one. Is it the same with bombardier? Cheers, Andre

Setting the Texture Resolution in P3D changes the resolution of scenery and VC's in the NGXu and FSL 320, among others. Is there anyway to "exclude" the VC from being changed so you could keep using 2048 or 4096 textures in the VC while using 1024 for scenery? I already have the VC max texture resolution set to 4096 in the CFG, but that's just a max, not a minimum.

Just received email that a new version of the amazing Majestic Dash 8 is now available and finally with official v5 compatibility! I wonder what other improvements they made. I cant seem to find a changelog from the majestic forum.. EDIT: Found the changelog Prepar3D v5 support Weight on wheel detection logic improvements Shared cockpit interface stability fixes Fixed a crash of the FMS caused by certain Navaids Fix, related to the incorrect simulator rate with the new Windows 10 2004 update Dynamic flare, approach and taxi lights

Hello, I'm seeing multiple airplanes stopping at the same gate position, today I was able to see 3 aircraft parked at the same gate (they get overlapped over themselves). Searched for duplicated AFCAD but found nothing relevant. I've opened a ticket within them, but does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

Hi all, Running 4.5 HF3... For a while now, I seem to be getting this behaviour when changing from cockpit view to Spot... it gets really bright then after a bit it starts to dim down to normal brightness... then when I go back into the cockpit it is OK, until I change view, lets say to the pedestal, go back to the Cockpit/Captain view, and outside seems bright, to fix it, I have to go to the spot view, and then all is normal when I go back to the Cockpit/Captain view... I am using, HDR, Dynamic Lighting, Rex EF and Chaseplane (which has its own HDR settings)... Was wondering if anyone else has seen this before... Hope the scenario above makes sense.…

Hello everyone, Unfortunately I am having an issue with P3D, my screen is a bit jittery. It's quite difficult to describe, but I see people panning and their textures are smooth, however when I pan my textures kind of... blur? It's almost a bit stuttery. I see some people with 30fps and it looks really smooth when panning, however mine isn't. I've tried locking my frames and monitor HZ in NVIDIA Inspector, but it hasn't seemed to work. Any ideas? (I have V Sync and triple buffering on) Thanks, Canine

I have seen these billboards at several default airports.. are they supposed to be there?

The default location is on my C:\ Drive and that's where my Windows drive resides on. I only have a 128GB SSD and I have no space. Is there a way to change the location of this folder to another drive?

I would like to use keyboard shortcuts to control things in my plane such as landing lights, taxi lights, nav lights, beacon lights, runway lights, engine cut off switches, etc. How can I do this on FSLabs A320, PMDG planes and such? Is it possible to have the same set of shortcut keys for all my planes so that it's easier to memorize? I know some things are already mapped, but for other stuff I can't seem to figure it out.

Thank you FSLabs! And then we would sit in a dark cockpit for a long time))
