I have spent so much time looking for a solution that i tell you the one i found after deleting, exe.dll, prepar3D.dll, xml.dll nothing has changed. My solution has been in ORBX. Trying to buid a new scenery in ORBX , it told me that it was not posible to overwirte. the solution is in the configuration of the protection against the ransonware in WIN10. Disable this and try, it has been ok for me. julien

Hey, Just wanted to ask if anyone's seen this issue and possibly have a fix for it. I just did a fly-around FlyTampa's EKCH, when I noticed it sticks out like a sore thumb during cloudy conditions. Bit of testing and I can see it's not actually receiving cloud shadows, despite all the 'Receive' shadow options are ticked. Quick search and there's multiple threads on it with various other airports, so I'm not alone nor is the issue confined to FlyTampa, though none of the threads seemed to have a solution as far as I could see. Question is, where do I raise the issue? With the airport developer, is it a configuration of the airport, is it with P3D or is it a local sett…

After installing P3Dv5, along with Orbx and Flightbeam scenery files.....I started getting an error message stating there was an issue with my scenery file. I viewed my scenery.cfg files and noticed that the sequential numbering was all out of order. Also, I noticed that some of the files identified in the scenery library within the sim appeared to be out of order compared to my v4.4 files. Is there a way I can do a reinstall of my original scenery file? Also, I noticed at some airports add-on airports the scenery is totally wrong (black blotches, discoloration and missing tiles).

Well I am thoroughly dissapointed something must not be right! System Specs: AMD5 Ryzen 3600X 6 Core - 3.8GHZ 16GB DDR5 RAM nVidia RTX 2060 8 GB M2 SSD 512GB I ran P3DV5 after a fresh install and no addons, and on my usual settings I'mm getting about 13/14 FPS? I could be completely wrong but surely that doesnt seem right? Please can anyone advise?

Hi Fi has posted that will have a beta soon for v5. Excellent News!

Hello everyone, I haven't flown the marvelous Turbine Duke for ages, probably since P3Dv3 and I noticed that in v4.5 the engines spool extremely slow. I believe to remember them having been much more responsive in earlier versions. So I have had a look at the aircraft.cfg if I could find any value to possibly tweak the spooling times of the turbines but had no luck so far.. Does anyone know IF (and how) this can be accomplished? The plane is still one of the best in my GA hangar but the engines are really no fun like this and it would be a real pity if that couldn't be tweaked.. thank you Marc

Hello all! I have P3D V5 installed with ORBX Global Base Pack but the land looks TERRIBLE over the Bahamas. I have done a few flights in other areas and it just looks terrible. Is that normal? https://ibb.co/ft7P3HP

I just noticed all of a sudden that the water class around Tampa, throughout the Gulf of Mexico, up the eastern seaboard and off the Texas coast are incorrect. Up around KJFK, KBOS they appear correct. I don't know if there are other areas that are incorrect or what has (I) changed to make this happen. I first noticed approaching the KTPA that the bay area, the coast, deep into inland rivers and ponds/lakes near the coast are showing the tropical waters textures instead of the inland waters or ocean textures. It looks like the tropical water class is going too far north and too far inland. What add ons establish water class? I'm guessing this would be the sta…

Hey guys so I am using R&D preset atm and also have envshade. Which I change up sometimes. i was thinking of using Aviationlads visual mod x. Is anyone using it? Is it a tomatoshade preset? Any other tomatoshade presets you guys recommend to try? thanks mike

After recovering from a recent hard drive crash and reinstalling 4.5 and all my add-ons, I find myself dragging my feet a bit on version 5. It seems that a number of folks have opted for a parallel installation strategy where they have both 4.5 and 5 installed, then slowly port over addons as developers update compatibility/installers, etc. Are there any downsides to this strategy? For example, will ORBX Central support a dual installation like that. Thanks for any insight!

I was trying to lift off out of Hong kong this morning when for some reason the temperature dropped down to -39 and all of a sudden there was no more decelleration/accelleration possible, its like the atmosphere dissapeared, i tried to manually set the weather yet after 15 seconds it just reset and went back to -39

Hey Guys, Aplogies if this has been asked before. I've just gained a PCIe Gen 3 M2 SSD (512GB) and have a 1TB HDD installed in my computer. Would it cause issues installing P3D to the SSD drive but installing the addons onto the HDD? I obviously want to utilise the speed of the M2 SSD but dont want the 512gb to be used up since it will be the OS HD also. Cheers, Alex

If anyone here uses the Earth Simulations Isle of Man package with P3Dv4, do you know how to remove those cones that are scattered across the apron?

Hi I usually use P3DV4.5HF3 and FSX SE How can I get two independent GSX installations ?, one to use exclusively with FSX SE and the other with P3DV4.5HF3? I would like to have two independent GSX installations so if I uninstall one simulator I don't have to uninstall the other one. A few days ago I installed GSX for FSX and then I tried to install GSX for P3DV4.5, but this last one didn't let me install in a separate folder, it just let me install in the same GSX directory for FSX. Regards

Hi all, as I read so many posts about the performance gains in v5, I of course was looking forward to see how it performs on my rig. It was not an disappointment, but my personal experience was not so euphoric although I am very happy with the performance as well. Basically because I ignored FPS numbers until I got most of my addons installed again, I was surprised that obiously some people did (again) forget the fact that a brand new installation usually performs better and that at the beginning, most early adopters just installed one or two addons. As a matter of fact, I did take two screenshots from a very heavy scenario, EGLL, as shown below. I know, I could have…

Hello everyone! I hope all of you are staying safe in this difficult times, as a less experianced addon buyer, I was wondering for some advice on sceneries. I'm considering getting an airport for Europe or the North America. I purchased Flightbeam KDEN and KIAD as I recently got my first longhaul jet (QW787), however am looking to branch out to more airports. Whilst I would love something like Aspen, ideally a hub would be better. I'm familiar with what's out there yet not really sure what to get. I use the Drzewiecki Design demos but they aren't the best, they just get the job done. I was looking at FlyTampa Toronto but apparently it's heavy on frames. In…

Like to get some thoughts on this. I will preface the question with a little background so that those with similar experience can relate it. 1. My system is I7 9700k / RTX 2070 / 16g ram based. I really does a fine job with 4.5. Averages 40-50 fps on nearly maxed settings and nothing less than1 tick below max 2. I fly GA, no commercial complex ACs. A2A, Carenado/Alabeo, Vertx, Realair, some GA jets, etc. 3. I fly almost exclusively in Orbx covered areas. All the global stuff, regions, cities and airports 4. I fly with REX Enviro Force and Sky Force, typically live weather for my scenery covered areas that are having bad weather. 5. And finally, I haven't…

Just seen this on FSElite and it seems interesting. Any verdicts on the product? https://fselite.net/news/realturb-north-america-released/

Anyone having any luck with this in V5?

Swiss Pro uses photos from 2005/2006 so they are very outdated. Mega Scenery Earth Switserland has multiple places with color differences and some places are having way too much hue. ItalyPhotoReal (Weebly) has it but there are too many brown parts between the green parts. Making it myself with FSET is possible but it will be around 50-60 Gb and that will take days too DL it. And then I have to cut out the bigger lakes. And if I want it to look great I also need to cut out the main rivers. Together it will be a 3-4 months project. All suggestions are welcome ..

I've never had this before but after the latest version update I got an alert from Windows Defender about a trojan. Trojan:Win32/Wacatac.D!ml Anyone else noticed this?

Hi When I use the SCROLL LOCK to bring up the ATC window, I can choose an option, but there is no voice in a reply. How do I get the voice reply working? The second problem suggests v5 doesn't work with NVIDIA: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AvPHfh8bewh2goY4YhmMd3dS5T1CTg?e=Is9vOZ I would really appreciate some help. Gary

In a Facebook post, T2G announced Question remains though: Is this a quick cash grab or will there be a concerted effort to bring these sceneries up to the latest standards?
