Hey, I have this issue with autogen causing lag spikes/temporary freezes of sometimes up to a couple of seconds, Sometimes the autogen loading has been so slow that P3D stopped responding. And this is not in central Manhattan with a billion buildings but in Scandinavia which has never been particularly framerate intensive. What i've tried: Tweak Prepar3d.cfg Uninstall both Orbx Trees and Orbx Buildings Repair the shaders Tweak the settings None of these made any difference, only thing that actually made this issue go away was to completely turn off all autogen. And i don't really feel that i should have to do that with my specs. Anyone have a clue h…

Hello sim community, I have purchased Aerosoft A330, although it looks promising, I have something I am struggling with in regards to flight control. Whenever I fly the plane manually during departure or approach, I get this feeling a little hard to control, for example when I turn to the wright, I get this feeling is a bit sensitive and is very hard to control it even with no wind weather. Before raising a support ticket in AS forum, wanted to get other folks feedback if that is expected from it or odd behavior from my end. P/S: I have installed the latest version 1.0.0.7 and normally I am using FSUPIC for my joystick controls. Rega…

Lately I have been given the following error "P3D requires Minimum display of 1024 x 720" when loading P3D v4.5. This happens occasionally only. Once I get out of that one without changing settings and restart it, P3D works fine for a few times and the same error repeats itself. My computer info is below. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you. Rolf Computer - Windows 10 Pro 64bit - I7 7700K CPU @4.20GHz - GPU GTX 1080- - 32.0 GB RAM - P3D v4.5

I've suddenly lost all images (previews) within the SF3D app. This means I cannot see any cloud textures, sky textures, sun moon textures ... What could cause this?

Hello there. Does anyone know any Taildragger coupled with a G500/G600/G1000 ala Kodiak?? I'm looking something a bit small for bush flying.

For those with Prepar3D v4.5 and are thinking of purchasing any of the former great products from what was Old Prop(chase Plane, Immersion products, Precipt) don"t bother.He has joined Orbx, which I use and really like, so that none of his products now launch or run properly. They state the problem is SIMCONNECT but I cannot verify that. Just use caution if you plan to spend your money. HMCS(FMF/SW) F. Smith US Navy(RET)

Hi, since I installed the new PMDG NGXu (updated with latest version), I noticed that during the flight the sim (P3D4) randomly reloads the scenario. However after loading the flight continues. As if paused to reload the scenario. With other aircraft I never had this problem. Using acars flying for virtual companies, such as for Virtual Ryanair (vRYR smartCARS), is seen as a sim pause. Does this thing also happen to you? Thanks.

Hello, someone can advise me please why while I load P3D takes long time to load the start page? thank you Geo

Hello, My problem is that the ATIS of Salina airfield (KSNS) appears constantly, in sound and picture (green running band) even when I am far away, for example in San Francisco (KSFO). I can't find a way to stop this. Is this phenomenon known? Does anyone have a solution? I am grateful for every hint! Mike from Frankfurt (EDDF)

Hello all, I vaguely remember posting this on this or another forum. In any event my problem has not been resolved. However, this time I am going to provide slightly more information. I have a fully Saitek controller set up which comprises yoke, 2 x throttle quads, trim wheel and rudder pedals. Please note that both throttle quadrants (new) are USB and not the round keyboard type connection for one quadrant and the other with a USB connection. This, I believe, is important because it could well be the root cause of this problem. Up until now, I have been losing my controller configuration each time I log out of P3Dv4.5. The solution, after saving my co…

Hi everyone, I'm trying for some time to be able to set up a multichannel system for my cockpit, but I'm encountering several problems due to the unflyable stuttering of the client's visual. My system consists of an I7 6700k server with R9 390 board, and two I7 7700k clients with RX580 8gb, win10 and professional plus 4.3 mounted on systems. I followed to the letters the learning center and the various guides also for the views in the various sites, but the problem of stuttering in the clients remains. The individually tested systems are perfectly stable at 30fps in 30hz fsmooth for the clients while in the server we have most of 500fps in minimal s…

The freeware version for NZWD in Antarctica is giving problems. When I'm looking straight ahead in the cockpit or outside view everything looks fine, but when I turn left just a little the ground textures tun into like a snowy grass mesh texture. Any ideas how to fix it?

I'm looking for NZWD - Williams Field for P3D V4.5 and I already tried the Aerosoft one but it's given me nothing but problems.

Hey Guys. I'm currently running imaginesim for this airport. I suppose it's done the job. But it's annoying not having GSX or even dynamic lighting. But for an airport I don't fly to that often I'm struggling paying 24 dollars to upgrade to the FSDT. Does anybody have any opinions on this one?

320X Introduction Guide reads: Ok, so GSX2 now also handles external connections without "manually opening GSX menus". I have a question here - I'm in a cold and dark scenario and I'd like GSX to connect the GPU. How can I do that without manually opening GSX menu? Thanks.

While flying the Flight1 B200 King Air G1000, or the G1000 Cessna 172, I can no longer enlarge the MFDs. When you click on an MFD, it should pop up in an enlarged form for easy viewing. Now, the MFD on the panel simply goes black and the enlarged MFD does not open. I think it has something to do with pop ups in my windows 10 settings. But I cannot seem to find what it is. Can anyone give me some advice on this problem.

Just got this and in the promo video it shows and extended turbulence section but on my version this is blanked out,,,any ideas?

I have a problem with the rudder automatically moving out of centre when on the ground and the airspeed builds. So normal taxi travel is fine, but when I throttle up and start take off roll the rudder trim moves which makes the take off tricky!! The same happens when I land, once wheels touch down the rudder goes off centre, sometimes to the max, but once I trim it to the centre it doesn't happen again. Even if I throttle up on a practice landing, touch and go and lift off the rudder stays centred. I've had to set up a key combination to centre the rudder. But I wondered why its doing it.

I made this little app for myself, but why not share it with the community ! In short, it allows you to start any program with a specific affinity. Select the app, set the cores you want it to use, and you will get a shortcut to that app running on just the cores you want. Dowmload from the avsim library - search for 'affinty shortcut' or here https://willy648.stackstorage.com/s/yR7vbJn6CyWkmX3 https://imgur.com/a/SdbtiPT

Hello all, The title says it all but just wondering if there is any way of running two P3D windows at the same time? My thinking is to have one with a long haul flight happening and the second open to do some short haul flights to pass the time. Thanks in advance for any info, Aaron Kia

I'm considering buying this scenery. Do you guys like it? I don't run orbx socal and am not interested in purchasing it due to it's reputation in regards to performance. I currently have mega scenery south/north for California, and some other southern California payware airports. I'm looking to only do airline flying. Thanks guys.

Good evening! I have recently switched to a 45" 4k Sony Tv, but my frames are horrible. I get around 12-20 at EKCH at daytime in a NGXu, and at night around 4-8. My question is, are my specs simply not up to date? or is the low fps related to the TV? In both cases, what would you suggest upgrading, because at this state its almost impossible to have a stable experience. I should also state that all my sliders are low-mid, and i use 2xmsaa. And my resolution is 3840x2160x32 which is native to the TV. Specs: GTX 1050TI Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz 16GB DDR3 Usual Addons: Orbx Global Envtex Envshade Active s…

I have been using the Aerosoft/SimWings Dublin scenery addon in P3D v3 for quite some time, and I enjoy flying in and out of the airport. The lack of decent custom taxiway and runway lighting is a bit frustrating, but I just deleted all of the default taxiway centreline and edge lighting (because it looks rubbish), since I only fly between dawn and dusk. I also noticed that some of my Aer Lingus Regional AI turboprops were parking at the large Aer Lingus gates, so I adjusted the parking codes for these planes to force them to park elsewhere....and it was this that made me realise that quite a few parking spots are not included in the AFD file supplied with the product. I …
