Does anyone know of a good A Coruna (LECO) scenery? I've seen one that is a payware, but it didn't seem like good quality, or maybe something in development?

I usually get decent frames. I have my frames set to unlimited, vsync off, triple buffering off. My TV is 4K @60Hz. But upon take off down the runway, the frames jump from like 11, 20, 35, 17, 24, 32, etc. But it appears pretty smooth to me. Not sure why the frames jump like that during takeoff. I don't want to lock frames to 30fps and set my TV refresh to 30Hz, because there's so much input lag, especially when I pan around the cockpit.

Finally, in bext 24h it will be available. Looking forward so much! https://hifisimtech.com/asp3d-announced/ Key points (in my words, from the link above) - It's free update from ASP4 - but for a limited time - so download and register as soon as you can. The beta schedule is expected to last 2 - 3 weeks but this could change, so let's see. Will work for both EA (Enhanced Atmospherics) and 'standard mode' weather. ASCA will continue to work in the standard wx mode but of course no ASCA for EA mode as its a different rendering technology. I expect HiFi will develop the truesky injection as the product matures, as they have done with all previous product…

Hey guys it seems that on my Aerosoft A330 the cockpit windows seem to be much more dimmed or darker than on aircraft such as the PMDG 777 or 747. I have tomatoshade with HDR enabled and for Brightness:1.00, Bloom:0.10, Saturation:1.00 (I have tried without HDR and default shaders). The windows on the A330 are extremely dark and make the cockpit seem like it is drowned in a sea of shadows compared to other videos of the A330 in Youtube. I have not got cloud shadows enabled. Thank you very much in advanced

Hi, my UTLive suddenly stopped working in P3DV5. I noticed it today - I am not aware that I changed something in my simulator. I am using P3D5. When I start P3D I can see that it is initialising but after that it shows this error. Also, if I start Utlive.exe it shuts itself after a few seconds. Any thoughts what might be the problem? I cant post a screenshot here but the error says: Ultimate Traffic Live encountered an error while loading external data into the simulation engine. Error: System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format. I already tried to reainstall UTlive but no result.

Hi, Regarding the RegEdit mod to install those PMDG aircraft without V5 installers... I am assumming that the mod allows any product that is not V5 ready, to be installed into P3D v5, is that correct... This would mean Rex Environment Force could in theory be installed? Has anyone tried...

Are there any shader mods compatible with v5 yet? I know PTA doesn't work, but what about tomato shade or anything else? Im going to try v5 soon but I can't imagine going back to a default shader p3d if i end up having to disable truesky, and no one has shown any pics of truesky with bad wx so I'm not planning on being able to use it.

Hi I am running P3D v4.5 HF3. I find that when I select one of my 'pre-set' graphics settings at the initial stage of selecting a flight scenario that the graphics returns to the 'custom' setting once the flight loads. Is there any way to prevent this happening?

Do you find that is is nearly impossible to keep altitude with the Autopilot in F-35A lightning, the stock Ac in p3d v5? It oscillates like crazy and will not keep altitude. Drives me nuts that it will not keep altitude. Lousy autopilot logic. But then again could be the operator 🙂 Any tips or tricks in any websites or personal?. The excursions are awful. Thanks in Advance People I appreciate it. Regards

A little late to the party. Just now considering updating from 4.4 to 4.5. My question is whether to bother to update the content and scenery. Will updating the content affect any installed aircraft? More importantly, if I update the scenery will I have to reinstall my global mesh? What about the ORBX vector, lc and various regions? Thanks in advance, Tom

How important is this setting in v5? I was used to have it at "ultra" but now with v5 I also tried "high" and did not see any difference on terrain. What settings do you use and what's the impact on VRAM?

Hey guys, Hope everyone is safe and healthy! As the title suggests, I'm finally moving from FSX with a new computer build (2006-2020 it was a good run lol). I was wondering if you guys would suggest starting off with V4.5 and waiting for the v5 HF2 or just go straight to v5? I kind of don't want to have to buy P3D twice but if v5 is that unstable then it might make sense. If it helps, my settings are RTX2070S, Ryzen 5 3600, and 2x 8GB DDR4 3200Mhz. Any thoughts would be super helpful!

Purchased recently the update of the Hamburg International Airport EDDH v2 by Justsim at SimMarket (discounted at 7.30 Euro for previous owners of EDDH v1). During the installation, I've got an error or warning message about a missing installer in big blue letters, with no indication of which installer it was referring to. I disregarded the warning, pressed continue and finished the installation. The new scenery entry was properly located inside the scenery.CFG file (Justsim uses the conventional install). After the installation, my P3D hung at crashed before the start-up scenario screen showed-up, with no further reports on Windows Event Viewer and/or in the Applica…

Hi everyone, In recent weeks I've enjoyed flying the PMDG 747 along with the beta for Active Sky in P3D v5. Overall, performance has been great and it has overall been a great experienced. However on one or two occasions now I have been noticing an issue. Often during cruise I get this 'anomaly' on the display when selecting weather radar. Sometimes the aircraft becomes 'laggy' for a minute or two and the speed may suddenly increase. The only way to resolve it is to turn off the weather radar. This is not a massive issue, but it is something that I have noticed now for the past few days. My hunch is that it may be a problem with Active Sky (because it's in beta) but …
