  1. In FTX a user has the possibility to migrate all the ORBX-folders and files from inside P3Dv4 to the outside of the Sim into a folder called X:\\ORBX\Library. It works great. Yes, you get a lot of Add-On-XMLs but is works great and therefor ok. However. There is one thing which doesn't work after the mogratie and that is the tool MIGRATIONTROUBLESHOUTER.EXE The nice thing of this toolfor me is that you can check if all the ORBX-folders/files are ok. Question: How can I get this tool work again after installing the orbx-fles in X:\\ORBX\Library?

  4. Good Day, I have been experiencing an issue with erratic throttle controls. Here are the specifics, P3D v4.5, Thrust Master Hotas.. I first noticed the issue while flying my Carenada KingAir 350I. The first time I seemed to to have issues was when I tried setting up a used Saitek Pro Flight yoke, pedels and 2 throttle Quadrants. I could not get any of them to work properly, just very jittery and not flyable at all. Tried setting them up with both FSUIPC and just within the program settings, but could not get them to work properly either way. I took the throttles apart and cleaned all of the potentiometers, but no improvements. Ever since then I have not been using the Sai…

  5. Just a FYI. I installed all my LatinVFR for v4.x airports today. After installation, I checked out Key West, and for the first time, I had micro pause/stutter in my animation. Taking off and at taxi...had the pause/stutter. Until my LatinVFR installs, P3D v5 was as smooth as a baby's butt! So, I went into my Add-On's..and unchecked each airport. Dropped out of v5...went into my Documents Folder/P3D v5 Add-On folder and deleted all my LatinVFR installs. Ran V5...and all back to smooth as a baby's butt. So...if you start to get stutters..or before you ever ran v5 before installing all your not-truly-meant-for-v5-installation installer's...your in-sim stutter, cou…

  8. I am looking for good quality Croatia photoscenery to use with my recently purchased ORBx LDDU Dubrovnik airport scenery package. I have found some nice photoscenery of Montenegro (which enables me to approach runway 29 without having to endure default textures), but I need some decent photoscenery for the "other side" of the airport (beyond the area rendered by the ORBx package). In other words, the coast to the north west of the airport, and those nice islands. I was hoping that the freeware photoscenery on the Europe9 photoscenery website would be suitable, but it seems that the colour contrast of most of the eastern European countries is all over the place. What I nee…

    Hello Everyone, I'm considering getting a Gatwick scenery for P3D v4, as I now have multiple aircraft that are operated with sizeable bases at Gatwick. I am aware that there are two sceneries for Gatwick, UK2000 and Jennasoft. I have read some reviews and thoughts on the scenery soon after it was released around half a year ago. I was wondering the state of it now vs UK2000. Here's how I see it, please correct me if you think else! Lastly, Ideally, I'd be able to convert to either P3Dv5 or the new MSFS, but this can obviously be very difficult to predict. UK2000 +Solid support from Gary, pretty bug free - Outdated, old and graphically quite date…

    Hi all, I was curious if anyone has any recommendations for some good Hawaii scenery for P3D 4.4? I know about the Hawaii Photoreal project by the flightsimjewels team, but the current lack of autogen or custom objects makes the surroundings feel pretty bare. Also know about the FSDreamteam Hawaiian Airport collections but from what I understand is that they are only the airport areas and not the whole island chain. Just looking to see if anyone knows a good package out there that I'm not aware of yet? Additional Info: I also have FTX Global, FTX NA, FTX Vector.

    Hello there! After a fresh P3D v5 install the sim automatically starts the default scenario after launch. I did encounter this issue in v4. It doesn´t break the sim but it´s a minor annoyance.

    Hi all, I originally posted in the PMDG forum thinking that it was a 777,747 and NGX specific problem, but it happens at all airports, default or scenery. Did a full reinstall, no addons, default F-18 shakes like mad. As you can add 1+1, as the wingspean gets larger, the shaking up and down becomes more evident. Its driving me bonkers.

  20. This is an odd issue. I have installed both the PMDG NGXu and the CS 757 into P3d v5. Both seem to work fine except that the planes literally veer of the runway upon attempting to roll down the runway for takeoff. I know technically these planes have not been updated for P3d v5 yet, but I can't understand why this is happening. Considering that several others are not having these issues it has to be something on my end. I did re-calibrate my controller, but since the default aircraft work fine I am at a loss. Is there perhaps something I am missing? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Pete

    Stephen at OpusFSI posted about some weather injection problems in the P3D SDK forum--he says that there is a bug in P3Dv5 that prevents wind direction at altitude injected into the sim from being acted on. Also, he says that when surface winds are updated, they are intermittently cycling to a continuous slow shift from the last wind to the new target without ever reaching the new target direction. And apparently each time weather at a wx station is changed, even one distant enough to be over the visible horizon, the sky/clouds flicker. LM has not answered his concerns there. I'm also wondering why we haven't seen a beta for ActiveSky--usually those guys are right…

  23. Hey all. I just downloaded AI Traffic for all of the airlines on P3D V4 and the gate assignments at KLGA are not accurate from the real gate assignments at the real Laguardia. For example, Jetblue is not at the marine air terminal and a lot of Delta aircraft are showing up at the new concourse B instead of terminal C and D. Is there an updated ADE or AFCAD file for NY Airports KLGA anywhere that would update those gate assignments? I couldn't find anything on the internet. Thanks for understanding!

    I strongly recommend keeping away from FSDT LiveUpdates!😡 Yesterday, in a PMDG 747-8i, BA Cargo, GSX L1+L2 would not de-board when asked to do so parked at the BA Cargo Hangars adjacent to 09R at UK2000's EGLL. Instead it warped me to where the pax 'Heavies' were!! And, just now, at MK Studios EIDW, guess where it warps to when just landed and at a gate? Runway 10 threshhold. Boy, this piece of software is most certainly bonkers after a LiveUpdate. Now to remove it and skip LiveUpdates in future😡
