Hey guys, do you think this is leaked V5 footage? Looks nice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvtieo24ekM

Hi guys! You can try out my new set of sky textures "ORIOLE" and the effect of the sun glow. I recommend using the preset for PTA from Yuriy (KNOSSOS), which is included. http://1coder.ru/SKY/downloads.html Installation: - download set you like by pressing a button under the screenshot; - find “Texture” folder in the simulator instalation directory and back it up; - unpack the archive and copy all 140 files from the folder to “Texture” directory and confirm relplacement of the files; I wish you successful flights! Sun glow effect (with installation guide) The effect has the same drawbacks as the "lens flare" i…

Hello guyz, So I am in a bit of a doubt here. I am trying to get p3dv4.5 as smooth as I can, but I don't seem to succeed in it. My specs: Windows 7 ultimate 64bit AMD FX-8320 Eight core processor 4.32 Ghz OC'd 16GB DDR memory GTX -1060 6GB 1000GB HDD Harddrive I cannot get more than 20 fps in a PMDG 737 NGxu, the wingview goes up to 40 fps which looks nice.. Do you think this is normal? Maybe it is.. If someone knows more about it, it is much appreciated. Thanks & Take care, Karim

Did LM fix the broken logic with the autogen addon.xml that prevented multiple autogen definitions being used concurrently?

Is this possible in P3D? You can in FSX with FS6DOFWare (https://www.wideview.it/3d_mouse_flight_simulator.htm) but this doesn't work with P3D. I've seen videos that show movement around aircraft and inside the cabin so there must be something like this for P3D. Thanks

It appears from the information videos available about NVWW that water levels can be set dynamically in an environment. Does this mean tides are now possible in P3D potentially? and what other features could be useful to us from this tech?

This is amazing - filmed from just in front of the cockpit - you control the view and can spin around and look in any direction - taken at Blenheim last year and posted on Youtube Here is the link for those interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFulTdTp9XE

I have a problem with the rudder on the plane, namely after installing the tomatoshade and uploading the RD preset, the rim of the rudder is very clear and it looks very bad. If someone had a similar case or knows how to fix it please help. Thank you and have a nice da. I attach a link to the photo to see what the problem is --- > 1. https://imgur.com/78L1wsH

I wonder if this is a sign of some changes?: "Thank you for your patience. Our website is undergoing maintenance and will be back online as soon as possible."

Hello Everyone! I'm considering getting the QW787, and by terrible coincidence found that all my payware airports in Europe are bases for Airlines with A330's. WIth that in mind, does anyone have any good quality freeware sceneries in the US/Africa/Asia? The only one's I am aware of are the Drzewiecki Design demo's, SSJ KPHL, and VATJO Amman. Any reccomendations are welcome, ideally with the ability to handle a 787! Thanks!

Hello All, I'm investing in long haul, and with that in mind have decided to get some scenery for the US and Asia (I'm from Europe). I have only heard great things about Flightbeam, yet was wondering whether someone could give me a rundown of what to get first? I have heard about KSFOv3, so am reluctant to get it, and am looking at KDEN and KIAD, both United hubs (no preference here😁). I'm going to get the QW787, so any other sceneries with good routes are recommended. (I intend on using the DD demos and SSJ KPHL) Also, I was also going to get Imaginesim WSSS or some large airport in that region. Any thoughts? Cheers Guys, all input welcome. Canine

I am using P3D 4.5 on a gaming computer... I have all my addon scenery in one main folder on my "C" drive ("Folder") that is separate from the folder on my "C drive where P3D resides....the add-on sceneries are, for the main, in subfolders (in the Folder) that may have additional subfolders, such as "scenery" and textures"...In the Scenery Library portion of P3D, I have designated the Folder as an addon scenery item and have activated the Folder into the scenery library ..is this sufficient, or much I separately add each of the subfolders in the Folder as addon sceneries? Thanks for any help... John H.

I have installed several African countries from Matthias (fsxforum.de). Developers bypass this continent. It looks amazing and free! Autogen in its place. Too bad few good airports. A true enthusiast!

I read somewhere that ADE already supports P3Dv5..does that include sloped runways support, and how does that actually work in practice? Does anyone have any info or even better, a video of updated ADE in action? I think it will take some considerable time for Devs (like uk2000) to implement sloped runways and we may need to get jiggy with ADE to make use of some of the updated features in the short term?

Hello, I often fly with a pal in multiplayer (V4) and sometimes we experience a sudden simulation rate increase (maybe X2). The session is ruined because things become incontrollable and the simulation rate cannot be changed in MP. Has anybody encountered this issue? Is there a way to fix it? Thank you

from FSDT: "One of the main difference in the V5 graphic engine, is that now almost everything is PBR, including the base Terrain/Landclass" How will this affect PR? will it require a complete rework of any photoreal products to take advantage of this?

I would appreciate any help you can offer; in short, I no longer have any vehicle (automobile) traffic on any highways, anywhere around the globe. The problem began after I installed FTX Vector; to be clear, I have my road vehicle density slider set to 50% within P3D V4 and have "traffic" selected on both the highway and primary road options via the Vector Configuration menu. I also use FTX Global and NA LC; although, I can't see how they would prevent automobiles from generating. I have verified that my Vehciles_land.bgl and generic.bgl files exists within my global/scenery folder; moreover, both are not turned "_off." Again, I would appreciate any help you can offe…

I get an error message in P3Dv4 that the Flight1 GTN Trainer will not start because of a conflict with Avast virus program or other causes. I placed the exception as directed but still will not run the GTN 750. It makes no difference if the virus program is on or off. Thanks for any help.

Hello, I got a VRi mcp combo 2 recently, but I am having some problems with it. I downloaded the software that was in the box(VRi sim), and it works fine when I connect it with B737NGX. All the buttons, knobs, switches work perfectly, but the mcp display is frozen. It indicates 000 for hdg, spd, vs, and alt. I couldn’t find out how to program the custom keys. The COM panel display works fine though. When I contacted the seller, they told me to download simconnect, but I’m sure I downloaded it when I installed PMDG. http://www.vrinsightshop.com/m/view.php?number=3 Also, I saw some people using Linda or FSUIPC5 with the mcp. I bought the …

Hi, I'd like to know if this addon really adds an extra touch of reality to the simulator and if this is the best option for p3d v4.5 or there is some other addon. Is it worth investing in this addon? Normally flight on aerosoft A320 PROF. Has anyone tried it on this plane? Thank you very much in advance. A greeting

Sometimes I have this issue where when taking off in the feelthere E190, it will just veer off to the left. Yes, I am applying full rudder to try to counteract this and no the wind isnt so strong it is pushing me off the runway. In the past I have had some luck turning autorudder on in the sim settings. I did this today when leaving Boston, but no dice. I still veered off the runway. This is literally the only aircraft I have issues with (it happens in the 195 as well). Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Hi all It doesn't happen often that I have a problem that I can't find a solution for elsewhere online, however this is one. I recently installed the latest version of P3D and the latest version of the Aerosoft Airbus A320 family. It all works fine when I'm in the sim and the sim is in focus, but whenever I focus on another window, or even hover over an icon in the taskbar and preview another window, the autopilot goes crazy. Sometimes it starts to waggle, going up and down. Sometimes sideways. Sometimes it suddenly climbs at 6000ft/min, sometimes it nosedives at 6000ft/min. Sometimes it does all of this at once and crashes on the ground. It all works…

I have sode jetways installed at all my airports, and have used them working well for the past year, however after loading into gatwick with fslabs a320, and trying to attach a jetway with sode, the sode menu doesnt come up, and the jetways just disappear, and the sode menu option in addons disappear too. I have tried other aircraft at this airport and it works fine so its definitely the aircraft. Wondering if this has happened to anyone else and if anyone can help?

I know they are 2 very different aircraft. That said I’m looking for my next all-around excellent addon plane to purchase and fly. If you own either or both, I’d love to hear what you like and don’t like about it. Thanks!

I came across an issue with the ntdll.dll CTD last night when trying to fly this route - EGLL DET1K DET KOK FERDI REMBA LNO LNO1M EHBK The CTD happens between FERDI and REMBA or just over Calais. Its a strange one as the exception code is 0xc0000374 which points to a heap corruption, but I don't have any issues anywhere else in the world apart from over Calais. I did the flight in the PMDG 747-400. If anyone can try out this flight and see if the issue occurs for you I would appreciate it.
