So when flying to Copenhagen from Vienna with my friend today, i noticed some pretty bad FPS drops and stutters, but only when in a discord call. When i landed in Copenhagen, it dropped to a horrendous 5 fps inside the cockpit (FSLabs), and around 10-15 outside, but when i disconnected from the call all was okay again. I have tried to disable hardware acceleration and high packet priority in discord, and i'm still looking for any possible fix or cause that might help my situation here.

Hi, with all these addons i buy i offen havent the time to go to deep to the manual to pickup goodies. Lately because i am getting new hardware i noticed the banal feature like "cinematic mode" in Chaseplane In the old days with FSX that could make me have a OOM just doing so and since i am that old it still makes me dis-use these options. I have now Cinematic enabled to a joystick button and having a blast. So is there any other "cool" feature i am missing with it ? Thanks Michael Moe

Good evening all, I need some help. I haven't changed any settings since my last flight but now when I move my hat switch to pan my views “X56” on the flightdeck my throttle now moves to about 50% thrust, I've been on FSUIPC and my throttle and pan views show all correct. This is happening in all of my aircraft. Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks..

I go to the GSX menu and I click "Operate Jetway" at FSDT's KIAH (Houston). But, it says, SODE uunavaliable, Jetways will not animate. I click Test DLL connection and: SODE JETWAY CONTROL SYSTEM is up and running (N=0)! I'm running SODE 1.5.3 and Virtuali says to update SODE. But this is the newest version of SODE and i'm running the newest version of GSX. When I go to the SODE menu it says: No triggerable objects found in 6.5 nm / 12km... I see this at EVERY airport. So, whats the prob?

Hi, So, i flew to CAIRO, and i have the Following problem with the ILS APPROACH ILS 23L The picture was taken during a test (not during the approach of my fly). I get a difference between the runway positioning and the positioning on the EFIS I'm using ORBX GLOBAL RANGE, VECTOR, EUROPE and my navaids are up to date as magdec file. Thxs for help or any ideas.

I have always wondered why no major developer has taken on the task of making a study level 757 or 767. I know Level D made a masterpiece with their 767, but it is very old now and I don't think there are future plans for a remake. That being said, is there a reason no developer has taken on the task of making these aircraft? I can only imagine what a 757 would be like if it were made by PMDG or even FSL if they decided to go the Boeing route for a change.

In P3D ver 4.4 is it possible to print the navlog? If so, how?

Hello guys, Been a while without flying the q400 but last night I tried to do a flight on it, for some reason I had a weird behavior inside the VC, I use chase plane for my views and honestly I dont have that same issue on any of my other addons (and I have a lot lol), so my question is, if theres any known issue with chase plane and the q400, for example turning during taxi and the view with rotate almost 180 degrees making it impossible to look forward, and things like that, please any help will be gladly appreciated. Thanks P3DV4.5 i7 6700K GTX1070 16RAM

Hi I use T2G MMMX in P3D v4.5HF2. I know the scenery is not native for it but sometimes I have some autogen Problems on short final RWY 5L R. As you can see some autogen is missing. Sometimes it's fine, sometimes I first have to deactivate the scenery and reactivate it again and then it's fine. Any suggestions on this? Kind Regards Patrick

Was just watching Frooglesim news on YT. First news was about DCS aircraft carrier addon. I am shocked how good people animation they have done, and i have compared that to ground service addons we have. Difference is beyond comparison. Wondering if P3D has some limitations, or is it just a matter of skills to create realistic looking people ?

Hello everybody I am running at the momend P3Dv4 with ActiveSky, REX Skyforce and Tomatoshade. Everything is looking good but recently i have read about so many other so called "shader tools" etc. For example Tomatoshade (which i use), PTA, Envtex, Reshade, URP and so on (are there even more?).. No my questions are: - What does each of those tools exactly do and what does it to enhance my experience? (I thought i know what Tomatoshade does, which is Shaders for Planes without PBR but i recently noticed that it enhances also the clouds and the sky in general when i turned it off) - Which of those tools are similar to one another ? - Whi…

Good afternoon all, I need some help.

Is there a way i can remove certain aircraft from UTLive? for example: there are still fokker 70's flying around at EHAM wich have long been out of service. and most of the aircraft still have their old liveries is there any way i can maybe replace those models with other ones or remove them all together? My sim is P3DV4 btw

The "new" Geneva is really nice but when on stands like 33 GSXv2 never users the jetways. Does anyone know how to sort this or do I take it to FSDT or AS forums? They are SODE Jetways BTW. Thanks.

HI all, Quick silly question about GPS and APR, with B60 duke, (but I guess its the same for all) If I do a flight from point A to B with the route injected in GPS, I put the switch in GPS mode to follow the track, I load my Approach in the gps, few miles from the destination I activate this approach, the question is, do I have to click the APR on Autopilot or is it only for NAV mode and the GPS will automatically follow the approach (altitude included) ? Thanks :D

Is there an app that will connect with P3D and show where my plane is on a map that I can use? I know there's iOS apps that do this, but I want a Windows app. It should have features where you can change the type of map you want it to display, such as terrain, satellite imagery, hybrid, etc.

Hi, Do we have to put a lot of power to make the aircraft moving on the ground or the friction is not correct?. I must apply at least 60% of load to make moving. Thanks

For some reason, P3D is lowering the volume of youtube videos/streams other apps in the background when the main window is in focus. I have communications set to "do nothing" and exclusive mode disabled in the audio properties of my headset. The volume mixer isnt even showing the chrome process volume below 100%. How is this happening?

I was just wondering which aircraft simulation add on has the most realistic looking flight deck? Now PBR is filtering in to Prepared, who is doing the best looking cockpit. By "best" I am referring to a visual look that appears real, as opposed to painted, drawn or cartoon like in appearance. I have been watching the MSFS 2020 videos and must say they appear to have some impressive looking cockpits. Although I have only seen the Robin and TBM models. Any thoughts?

After having tried different offline Atc and Traffic, I will share with you my last experiment: Vox Atc with Traffic Global. I am pleasantly surprised how well this works, I just did a few flights around the world and it gave a real Immersion. 1. VoxAtc generates its own traffic from Traffic Global, when I was at EHAM it really was crowded like in real life. 2. Voxatc uses multiple runways for landing and takeoff and landing I don’t have to want for 20 other aircraft at EHAM before taking off like I had with the Ultimate Traffic Live / Pro Atc combination. 3. The Voice recognition works really well put of the box. 4. The vectoring is so much…

With change from Windows 7 to Windows 10 my Environment sounds suddenly has become barely hearable. Most irritating in that respect is the major absence of AI traffic sounds! Currently my sliders inside P3Dv4.5 sound section are set to 100% for Environment sliders and around 50% for anything else! My audio hardware setup and basic software has been the same from win7 to win10. The only primarily differences are these: 1. Change of PC's, from an old Intel based PC with Radeon graphic boards installed to the present Intel i9 version with a nVidia 2080 graphic board. 2. From P3Dv4.3 to P3Dv4.5 3. AI traffic, from My Traffic Professional to Ultimate Traffic L…

My road lights are loading really slowly or not at all. Every help is appreciated!
