Hi! I own the Milviz T-38C Adv. Series license. Since the latest update the acft perform a kind of crazy dance when I gently apply THR. T-38C swing to the right at a fast rate but after the first THR input everything works just fine; until I stop and start taxi. I apply THR and the acft perform the same dance again and the grund shakes violently. It only occurs in my T-38C licence. Some idea? I have disable ChasePlane, Active Sky, SF, EF, and FSUIPC. The P3D client and P3D cfg is also reinstalled. Shader deleted. System up to date but the issue remains. I Using all ORBX and Pilots FS Global Ultimate - Next Generation FTX. In addition I have also used anesthetic on my cat…

I've been experiencing elevation problems with Pilot's Alicante scenery and wondering if anyone else has had this issue and was able to fix. I have everything installed properly, according to their manual. I also have their FSGlobal 2018 Super NextGen Penultimate ExtremeX installed. Mesh is set to 2m, disabled the AEC in Orbx Vector, tried reinstalling, etc. Nothing seems to fix it. It looks like your typical elevation problem before running AEC, but here are a couple of screen shots anyway. https://imgur.com/g40N77h https://imgur.com/CKHeniC On top of this, it appears that Pilot's basically offers zero support. I sent an e-mail to the support a…

On Sunday, my PC did an automatic Windows 10 upgrade. It didn’t look like a minor one, either. Since then many things have been wonky on my PC. Cut & paste hasn’t always worked on webpages, Outlook 265 displayed emails wrong. I started P3D beginning with free flight as usual. After selecting the aircraft and clicking START to begin flying, the screen turned all white. It allowed me to do a quick pixel check on my computer, but otherwise nothing happened. Had to go to Task Manager to get out of P3D. Started P2D again, and this time the aircraft display window was all white. Did a restart on the computer. After that things worked ok. Some of the other stuf…

I have some weird things going on in P3Dv4.5. First, I have winter set, and when P3D is set it comes up summer time. When I switch to the outside view and move the ailerons there is no movement. However, I can take off and the ailerons actually to work. But while airborne switching to the outside view and make a turn there is no movement shown on the aileron, but the airplane turns. On the ground when in the outside view, if I move the ailerons on the RealAir Legacy, the ailerons do not move, but the spoilers pop up. I'm totally confused as to what is going on. Not sure if it's P3D or the Honeycomb yoke.

Got a message today that REX Environment Force had an update. Great! However, I couldn't update because it said I had my limits on installations. Wow, I only installed it once but I run it every day before I start P3d. I don't get it, and REX is not making it easy to answer me. I emailed them, but I haven't been satisfied with their response. Seems I have to do a ticket and add an attachment, etc. etc. This is a pain, and they should be able to check my email and my registration and quickly find out if I've reinstalled this program as much as they indicate. I think it's flaw in the system. Have any of you had this issue before, and if so, how do you solve it…

I puzzled. I’m running P3d with Aerosoft A320pro with three monitors, main screen and two smaller ones on each side. One of them has the mcdu undocked and if I undock another mcdu or pfd to the other screen the frame rate drops from 60 to 30. I doubt it’s a hardware issue as the PC is an Intel i9 9900k running at 5.0, GPU 2080 ti, 32gig ram ddr 3200 with m.2 drive. 🤔 any ideas anyone? and thanks. 🙂

For the last week or so if the first a/c I load onto a runway has a #7 2D popup panel window defined in its panel.cfg file, that window is automatically opened by P3Dv4.5. This happens with default as well as third party a/c. If I renumber the popup windows for an a/c, the "new" popup #7 window opens. This only happens with the first a/c loaded and does not happen with a reload. To stop this I have tried deleting all saved flights, letting the prepared Prepar3D.cfg file rebuild, and even ran the P3D client 'repair' function, all without success. If anyone has any ideas what might be causing this, or where P3D has stored the "automatically open window #7" info, I…

I have configure the GTN tool for the DC-3, but I am unable to get it to pop up or show in the cockpit. Any ideas how to do this? I have also tried creating a keyboard shortcut to the GTN750 using the Panel Id Toggle and setting the parameter to 14401 in FSUIPC and that didn't help either. Thanks in advance, John

It may not be the Aerosoft CRJ, but it's actually here, comes with 4 variants (200, 700, 900, 1000) and lots of liveries. Certainly not a top tier VC, but for the price point this looks like a fair package, I will likely pick it up this weekend. I do have to say that from the pictures on Simmarket the VC does look to be a step up from their previous releases. P3Dv4 compatible.

I have T2G LFPG for P3DV4 the scenery works well but there are taxisigns in the wrong locations, sometimes in the middle of the taxiway itself. I checked for other AFCADS including ORBX and could not find any. I'm stumped on this one.

Hi all, I recently invested in an overhauled rig for P3D and was super excited to be running full tilt graphics. However, I am a few months in and my performance has felt like it has dropped significantly. I've looked everywhere at threads to try and rectify this situation but for the life of me I can't figure it out. I am getting about 20 FPS running ORBX LOWI, Global, FsLabs A320, and ActiveSky. I feel like this should be a piece of cake for my PC but for some reason it isn't. Can anyone please offer some advice? Thatcher Burns i7-9700k Coffee Lake OC to 5Ghz EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER BLACK GAMING …

I have both the Milviz 310R and the 310R Redux. On the Redux, the yoke does not move although the flight controls move ok. The yoke moves ok in the 310R. The Redux is the only plane that has this problem. I have all controls calibrated through FSUIPC. Using the Honeycomb yoke. Any ideas what is happening here? Thank for any advice. Jim r

Hi guys, My current CPU is an I9 9900k wiht a 1080Ti graphics card. I also run an Acer Predator X27 4k monitor. My question is am I wasting my money upgrading to the newer GPU's when they get released later this year? I always thought the P3d was GPU driven but now I am hearing its more CPU driven? Thoughts??

I had the Baron copied over from FSX to P3D back when I migrated to P3D 4.1 and it has been working fine for the longest time, even after the upgrades to current P3D 4.5. Just recently some controls stopped working, primarily engine 1 throttle. I am not sure what I installed since it stopped working, but it was working fine few months ago in P3D 4.5. I have a bunch of airport add-ons, ChasePlane, PMDG NGXu and others, and FSUIPC5. P3D controls disabled, and I doubled checked FSUIPC5 conflicting control inputs and they are none, I even took out the default no-profile assigned control mappings but the problem persists. Any help is greatly appreciated. Than…

Hello! I have already asked this on Aerosoft forum but I haven't got any answer yet so I decided to post it on AVSIM if someone has a trick/answer here. My CRJ Pro started to stutter a day ago. A have 15FPS in the cockpit with a very bad stuttering. It starts when I turn on the ground power (AC power, also happes with APU). When remaining four MFDs come alive my FPS drops from 30-40FPS to 15FPS with bad stuttering. This is the problem with MFD displays. If I disable FO side frame rate rises to 20FPS and if I also disable the captain side it rises to 30-40FPS. CRJ Pro was working completely fine few days ago. I had the same problem less than a month …

I today installed EZDOK Camera V3 in Prepar3D V4. I ran the config tool, then ran P3D but before P3D starts I get 3 times an memory access violation borlndmm.dll error message. Then I see message Applicatiosn cannot run first run configuration tool for registered components (but I already did that!). Then P3D starts and in the sim I see no EZDOK menu. I run the config tool with admin rights, I run P3D also with admin rights. I am stuck...

Hi All Hope this is posted to the right spot, apologies if not. I purchased the new MFSG Darwin Airport scenery the other day and cannot, for the life of me, get any buildings on the airfield. Having purchased MFSG products before and had no previous issues, I'm wondering if there is a bug, a missed step in the instructions or confusion with the removal of ORBX Aus V2 YPDN bgl's (From Simmarket YPDN page Notice:If you have ORBX Australia V2, please delete all BGL's files with "YPDN" name inside the ORBX folder. (to avoid default airport)). The bgl's removed are as follows: ABP_YPDN ADE_FTX_AUS_YPDN ADE_FTX_AUS_YPDN_CVX FTX_AUS_YPDN_objec…

I've been using a HMD for several months and love it. One thing is very much worse though and I'd like help to solve the problem. Before HMD, handling my radios was easy. To retune the stdby frequency just needed me to hover the curser on the large outer dial and L click to increase MHz or R click to reduce MHz. Same with the smaller inner dial, L click to increase kHz and R click to reduce kHz. Then click on the radio's flip-flops button to transfer stdby to main. In visual reality this still "works" but it's impossible to do in my practice. I have to position the white spot (cursor) over the dials using my head/mouse whilst clicking L or R mouse. I can't keep …
