Hello all, After buying and installing the Leonardo Maddog X P3Dv5 I tried to access the Forum and download the textures, I registered, and THREE days later guess what? , No response or approval: Awaiting Approval Your account needs to be approved before you can use the site as a registered member.

Please, if you have know any way to contact this person or company, please give me a hint. I thank you in advance.

Whenever I update through Orbx Central this gets inserted into my FTXAUv2_05_SCENERY folder and leads to a path not found error when P3D loads. Why? ORBX_AUV2_YSTW_Windsocks_ObjectFlow.xml.disabled-by-ystw Annoyingly this can sometimes stop the P3D load at 80% Now I can get rid of the error message by removing the .disabled-by-ystw text string but it returns after every Orbx Central update most of which having nothing obvious to do with YSTW (Tamworth).

PC Specs : AMD Threadripper 1950x, RTX 2080Ti, 32GB Ram at 2933mhz. Troubleshooting steps : I started with 8 fps. I change from limited to 90 to unlimited, I got 2 FPS back. 1.

Removed FS2Crew RAAS, TrueGauge and RealLight. dll. : same result Basically, the Airbus is stuck…

Hello everyone, when I attempt to run a repair on V5, the installer prompts me to open the v5 setup, and quits when I cancel the opening of the file. Please see the attached screenshots. https://imgur.com/a/5sLLZcy

Hi, so, I’m pretty spoiled with XP11 when it comes to ortho. What I’m looking for is 1.) A list of ortho sceneries for P3D (V5 if possible). I know about the Orbx true earth ones. 2.) is it possible (and easy) to make your own like in Ortho4XP? 3.) do I need the resolution scenery slider at 7CM for ortho and the mesh slider lower than 5M? many thanks!

Hi, I have a problem. I started at EDDM and wanted to fly to LOWW (Vienna). At the beggining everything is fine, but when I have visual to the ground near Vienna I see Orbx scenery messing up with default ( there are parts of both). When I "Go to Airport: Munich" and I load and get the TOP-DOWN View, I see the same Issue there, but at takeoff everything worked and there was no default scenery... Hardware: I5-9400 3,9 Ghz (overclocked) RAM 8 GB GTX 1060 6GB

Hello, bad news for some people: The Aerosoft Airbus is not really compatible with normal AI settings. It doesn't like loading an amount of AI (because you'll get stutters for a few seconds!). I had this inflight (Cruise Level) when the AI for Calgary was loading and the AI for Vancouver (Descent). More info at the aerosoft topic: https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/149704-hugh-problems-when-many-ai-are-loading/&tab=comments#comment-961898 You'll need always - I mean always ! - minimum 18 FPS! Even some seconds below is not accepted by this aircraft. That's the info I'll got from Aerosoft I've a lot of Payware Aircraft, some of them are really m…

There were some discussions about this topic in an other thread but I got lost somehow. It is known that Garmin Trainer does not work well with the newest Windows 2004 and thus the Flight1 GTN 750/650 doesn't work either. It was also said that I can roll back to an earlier version of the Trainer. But until now, I was not able to do so. Currently I have the Trainer Package 2700 installed which works fine with F1GTN750 under Windows 1909 but will not work with 2004. What steps are needed to go back to an earlier version of the Trainer which works with F1GTN Complete (v 2.18). I would appreciate any step-by-step guide for a dummy like me (at least in this case).

Hello, I am reinstalling my games and programs after I reset my computer. I am coming across some errors that read that the file is corrupted or that the "source" file is corrupted on both GSX and P3D installers. Is this a problem with my computer or is it the installer? I've tried the basic things like restarting, starting as admin, new installer, all that. My belief is that the computer files may be corrupt after the reset?

I've recently switched back to Prepar3d V4.5 from FSX. In FSX my throttle on my joystick worked perfectly. However in Prepar3d it doesn't work at all, I've calibrated my joystick in the controls, i do however get a response from my throttle on the calibration. But when i'm on the sim nothing at all. I have to use F1, F2, F3 & F4 to control my throttle. Any help? Thanks a lot.

Hi folks, what can I do to improve the performance in the Los Angeles bassin? When I Fly in this area my fps drops down to 12-15, at LAX (FSDT) somtimes 10-12 fps. It does‘nt matter if I have ORBX SoCal, openLC NA or the default scenery activated, it doesn’t matter if day or night, it doesn’t matter if traffic on or off. In other areas, for example London or Germany (with ORBX Germany North and South) I get minimum 20-25 fps, in other parts of the world 35 (locked at 35 fps). my specs: Intel i7 7700k @5GHz // RTX 2080 // P3d v5 HF1 Any suggestions?

I wonder if anyone has been through fatal CTD in this airport as I have these days? As it is I'm still running P3Dv.4.5 because I'm not yet fully confident about version 5 actually being fully ready... During taxing the scenery starts with freezing and stutter - finally the whole session will crash to desktop! I have tried to reinstall the scenery without any success and been writing to Imaginesim twice without getting any answer whatsoever! The error could of course arise from many reasons, not necessarily caused by the actual scenery creation from Imaginesim, but in my view absolutely unacceptable with this developer just ignoring their customers - in my cas…
