    Any recommendations or advice on setting "tweaks" for the NVIDIA Control Panel? After updating my graphic's card driver, I usually apply defaults to my settings. However, I'm interested if anyone has tested the settings for better performance. I'm running a reasonably high-end system, overclocked, yet with FSLabs A320 and PMDG 737NGXu, performance is now an issue. I hope LM brings v5.1 soon 🙂

    When I bought the new version and installed it for V5 I installed it for V4 which got rid of my profile. Now I'm trying to set it back up again and I've noticed something weird when calibrating my yoke. When I start a turn if I hold the yoke in position the plane stops the turn dead in its tracks. Say I'll be turning left then turn my yoke for a right turn if I'm not continuously moving the yoke the plane will stop the turn while still in a left bank even though I'm trying to turn to the right. Any idea what might be causing this? I have the axis controls set direct to FSUIPC so everything should be setup right.

    I've used Google to search for this but can't find anything that answers my question. I just added the QW 787 to my hanger. Using the default QW livery. There is no passenger cabin interior; only a flight deck. No where did I read that's all you get. Is this typical of QW? Do the add-on liveries have interiors? It almost seems as if questions regarding QW passenger cabin interiors have been filtered out of all Google searches.

    I haven't bothered to look at the documentation to see which product is responsible for it, but in P3Dv5 with the NGXu, I discovered that pressing the backslash (\) key will bring up a flashlight for seeing in the cockpit at night. Pressing a 2nd time gives a red flashlight, and the 3rd time switches it off. Nice!

    This is a question, there are times (and now always) when I don't get any sound from my aircraft. I tried a Bluetooth headset the other but it didn't work, now it has to be left loud, without keeping the sound quiet - even if I use an ordinary headset. Is there something wrong with or P3D and an addon? Gaz

  17. Hello, today I went to start up a flight, was able to load normally but when I got into the sim I noticed that chaseplane was not loading properly so I exited the sim and rebooted. Then, when I restarted P3D, I had an error pop up: "the operating system is not presently configured to run this application". I've never seen this one before. I tried doing a client repair and the error is still happening. I also ran SFC /scannow and no issues were found. Googling the issue mainly gives me results related to Office 365 without any clear solutions. Any ideas? Things seemed to be working fine and I don't know what changed. Thanks, Dave

  18. Hello, I installed Ultimate Traffic Live to have ai traffic in my p3d. The problem is that whenever I launch a flight, the AI traffic is invisible. Only the red label/tag, the cockpit and the beacon and nav lights are visible. No fuselage, engines, landing gear etc. Same happens in Vatsim. There is no visible traffic only red labels etc. I have models matched in vPilot. Still this issue occurs. This is very frustrating. I have been trying to fix this issue for 6 hours straight. I have no clue what is causing this issue. Can somebody please help me out? Thanks in advance.

I have noticed that the weather in the game not match whit what the weather menu says in the REX app. It says that there is clear wheather in Copenhagen but when i load the game, there is heavy clouds and thunderstorms. And yes, I've been waiting for some minutes to see if something will happend, but no. Once when I flew from Stockholm to Umeå, the app said it would be thunderstorm and rain in Stockholm and so it was. And in Umeå it would be clear weather and no clouds. During the flight that took about an hour, the weather updated several times. But when I arrive at umeå, there was big hazy clouds on about 2000m height as well a…

    Hi guys: I've never had this happen before. I'm running p3dv5 hotfix 2. When I went in to options to change my graphics settings in flight P3D informed me via popup that my scenery library was out of order and would it like me to try to repair it? Foolishly I replied yes. Upon my next flight I noticed I just had stock scenery. Well I guess that just meant I had to reset the Orbx insertion points maybe? No. In fact my whole library folder "G:\Orbx library" with all of my scenery except Vector (installed in the sim) was gone without a trace. Not in the recycle bin, nowhere to be found. So I will be downloading all my Orbx stuff for the next few hours and…

  23. Hi guys, I have been using XP11 as my main flight sim platform for many months now, and have had many happy flights on the ToLiss 319 and FJS727. I have also recently started doing a lot of vatsim flights. I recently decided to try a go at P3D because of the way the sim looks and Orbx scenery. I am pretty sure there are quite a bit more study-level airliners for Prepared to. I however don't know what my first airliner is going to be, which is why I came to this forum to ask about it. I generally fly short haul and I'd say I am more of an Airbus person but I am certainly not above flying a Boing (haha). I have taken a look at the FSLabs 320 but the price is just insane, si…

Are there any other fixes to try? Ta!

I`ve tried even with the sliders completely left, but the problem persists. I attach a couple of pictures so you can see the problem: This first picture is how its supposed to look: https://flic.kr/p/2jirWJq And this is after I pan the view: https://flic.kr/p/2jirWF4 Any help would be strongly appreciated!
