What program can I use to quickly change the FPS? Sim does not respond to MSi Afterburner

Hi there, i tried to implement the Rex WX advantage radar into the new xtreme Lear 3.0. But the install failed - i get amessage that the radar is blocked - why? Is there anybody which have the correct panel config and conditions to get the GTN and GTN2 panels working? Thanks for help greetings Dieter

Since I can't seem to find an Orbx forum here in AVSIM I'll post this here. I'm not allowed to post anything at any of the Orbx fourms except the limited user support forum. I downloaded and installed True Earth Northern California this morning. My first flight was over the North bay area of the San Francisco bay which I am intimately familiar with. Overall it was very impressive. But like TE Washington they have omitted seaplane docks at the seaplane facilities. The water runways are there but no place to park the airplanes. Especially Commodore Center. Additionally there are dozens of homes in the bay at Sausalito. I don't know how you are going to get …

I bought ESGG an hour ago, and when I install it via the Orbx central and when I enter the sim, no jetways are visible. Im using P3D v4.5, and I have S.O.D.E installed and registered any ideas?

Hey guys just updated to hotfix 2 for P3D V5 and as i'm flying i noticed there are a lot of night textures when its day time and I dont know hats causing it. Is it the shaders? can i delete the shader folder? i have Orbx Open LC North America and Orbx global base installed. any suggestions ? Thanks !

I have a multi-monitor home cockpit running v5 HF2. When changing views, activating the ATC window, etc., or even with the appearance of scrolling text, there is a short but annoying screen flicker on some of the monitors. I've tried some of the usual suspects (ie, the Windows 10 full screen optimisation check). The phenomenon was not present with P3D v4. I had hoped applying HF2 client would fix the issue, but it hasn't. Curious to know if anyone else is experiencing this.

Hi guys, Here's my initial findings from flying VR in HF2 with my Rift S: 1. EA looks great, but you still need to use stereo mode in VR unfortunately when using this. I do all of my VR flying in EA. 2. Steam VR mode is still the way to go, Oculus gives me stutters. 3. Water with extreme detail looks good in VR now, I didn't like the effect in HF1 as it seemed out of sync. Reflections on the water still seem to have a problem between left and right eyes, not pleasant to look at buy tolerable. 4. Reflections: I had these turned off in HF1 as they rotated far to much with head movement. The effect is still there in HF2, but it looks more tolerable o…

I am utilizing my screenshots with "Irfan views". Now I have problems. Are there any member using Irfanview Will you please inform me, Thanks🙂

I use EA AND Active Sky in V5 HF2 lately because I discovered that my FPS are significantly higher in the sim with the EA/Active Sky combination than with just Active Sky alone. I can even turn up terrain complexity and mesh completely to the right with no serious effect on FPS. The sim is wonderfully smooth. I never used EA in V5 or V5 HF1. What I notice, however, and would like to improve is the level of contrast with the ground textures and sky. Without EA, and with Active Sky alone the ground textures are darker and have more significant contrast with vegetation, the sky and the terrain in general. WITH EA, the colors on the ground are much more muted and faded in…

Hi all, I have an older version (5.12) of FSUIPC running with v4.5. When I upgraded to v5 I bought and installed FSUIPC6. Works great in v5. However... follow along... I got the Honeycomb yoke. It runs perfectly in v5 with FSUIPC6, but I cannot get FSUPIC5 in v4.5 to recognize it. Is there perhaps a conflict? Should I delete the old FSUIPC in v4.5 and install FSUIPC6? Thanks!

When I switch to fullscreen, my vram consumption increases and the max vram shrinks. For example from 4.5/7.1 GB to 4.9/6.8GB. Anyone made the same observations? RTX 2080 non Ti 8GB vram // 55‘‘ Inch 4K TV screen @60Hz

I noticed (some) default liveries after a installation of P3dv5HF2 So what do we do ? Michael Moe

Hello, To me Envtex and Envshade have been mandatory in P3Dv4 but now with new textures and Enhanced Atmospherics in P3Dv5 I was wondering about your experience? Do you see better runway textures with Envtex VS vanilla? What about water textures and animation since it got a new engine in the v5?

Hey Guys, I have TAXI2GATE scenery and I am missing Gate lines on the ground with numbers and also I have double TAXI signs all over the airport. Also West building is correct and Gates and Jetways are correct as well but East Building has double Jetways. Not sure if I have to go into scenery file and disable something. Once I read somewhere but can't find now. If anyone has any idea how to fix this, please let me know. Thanks

We are at P3DV5 HF2, and Rex Simulation is very quiet... Makes me wonder if they will ever release any update... not even a "Prepa3d V5" installer at a minimum... Their announcement was ages ago... April 15th...

Hello Up until two days ago I had a stable version of v4.5, HF2 running with a GTX1060 card. Without warning I suddenly started getting a Device Hung Error when undocking the default ATC and moving it on to my secondary monitor, which has a GTX760 attached (no SLI). I installed the latest Nvidia drivers and this seems to have fixed the problem. However, now whenever I undock a window and move it on to the secondary monitor, my FPS tanks to 1FPS. Steps taken so far, include - deleting P3D.cfg, deleting shaders, revering back to the old drivers,tinkering with various Graphics settings, including VSync. I also found on another thread some NCP settings to try, all to no…

I was wondering if anyone has tried the latest GSX Level 2 with the new P3Dv5 hotfix 2 release? Thanks in advance Joe

Hi All. I am still struggling with P3D V4.5, and now try this forum. My problem is that even though I have good framerates, the sim still stutters bigtime, not microstutters, but large like 1/10 sec pauses. This happends both on gorund and in the air. In the air I can see it is connected to P3D loading textures or placing trees/autogen etc, so when every it needs to work, it hangs for a very short while. The performance also decreases over time, meaning that If I fly from one airport to another, then when landing I get lower FPS as if I started from the airport, making a circuit - and when parked I maybe only have 25 FPS, saving the situation, restarting the SI…

hi, just this morning installed v5 HF2 Client & had a wonderful flight at KSFO Flightbeam with new AILRP installed with TG 1.1.15 - absolutely spectacular with full dynamic lighting & special effects+, the flight was just at sunrise in the RAAF BlackHawk hovering until the traffic arrived - wow - it all happened - one of my best flying moments so far! unfortunately, there were some GA aircraft that were only showing as AI aircraft labels (but no lights), this report shows the problems... already, i am very happy with my simple solution of TG for P3Dv5 HF2 & AI Lights Reborn - very few clicks & away you go - skies with traffic …

Guys, went to install the above yesterday and it wont install. It states their is a virus etc. Any ideas, as it was downloaded from the FSPS store account. thanks Darren

Hi, I was wondering if someone has experienced a similar problem. I'm trying out ORBX LOWI with P3D5 HF2, sitting on RWY 08 - with the default Mooney Bravo: 60 FPS - with the Mooney G1000: 30 FPS I'm starting to think XML G1000 is really a hog... - with the default Piper Cub: 30 FPS ?!?!? Really? it is such a simple aircraft with a few gauges?!? - load Mooney Bravo again: 60 FPS - load any of the other two: 30 FPS again. I've even lowered so much of the settings it is still 30 FPS simpler aircraft vs 60 FPS more complex one (relatively). curious isn't it?!? Now set the simulator VSync OFF: 55 FPS with the…

Greetings I'm on the latest version etc. I've been trying to get the Feelthere E-Jets v2.0 running in P3D - aircraft works perfect but when I try and save a flight it's always missing some information - no date etc showing except 01/01/01 - please note I don't suspect the problem is unique to the latest version or even V3. When I try and load the scenario file I get this alert. PMDG and other files save fine. Have tried re-installing and flushing the app data etc folders. Here is the dxml file in text - https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B0nPRYKXbNx7RUxEaGgyQlR2VU0 Ofcourse I acknowledge this isn't an aircraft designed for P3D etc but this seems…
