Using this aircraft for a tour sponsored by me virtual airline. On the PFD are readouts of mach #, IAS, and ground speed, but not true airspeed. Anyone know if there is a readout of TAS on this model? Thank you, Eric Dziura

Its like display offset changes when I switch between camera views. I checked every option in Ezdok but couldnt solve this problem. If you have any diea , can someone help me about this?

I am having an issue with my dll.xml getting corrupted almost every time I install a new addon. I am not sure what is causing it, but P3D opens to the splash screen and then nothing happens after that. After I delete the dll, it loads fine but all the addons that rely on that file have to be reinstalled every time obviously. Here is my most recent dll that failed after installing the ngxu and RAASPRO. Does anything stand out that may be causing the problem? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?> <SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0"> <Descr>Launch</Descr> <Filename>dll.xml</Filename> <Disa…

Just picked this up. Doesn't look like inibuilds has a MDW made. Anybody know if this is out there anywhere?

Hello, My Chase plane is not working correctly, in cinematic mod i have some little spamming black screen (link below) Some already had this issue ? Can someone help me Thanks Max, Link :

Is it possible to change the descriptions of Ramps/Gates on the Airport menu? e.g instead of "Ramp GA", can I get it to show "International" or even just "Gate Heavy"? I have tried ADE but that did nothing that I could see. Thanks Ian Harrison

I was never a fan of photoscenery due to download times & space limitations, but a new SSD & the freeware package for Hawaii made me a believer. I also have to say thanks to LM for improving P3D 4.5 to HF2 because P3D v4 displays photosceneries the way they were meant to be seen in a flight simulator. Sharp and just beautiful! ORBX Netherlands & GB look amazing and now discovered the freeware photoscenery for Spain. I'm currently downloading each section and testing as I go along: If anyone has Pilot's LEST with the freeware package, please give me your thoughts. I have at least 10 payware airports and I'm wondering if there will be any issues I…

Hey guys, was hoping you all could help me with another one.... I've got GSX Level 2 installed and AIG one click installer for my AI traffic. When I land at most airports, Delta planes for example are scattered all over the terminals, same with all of the other AI planes I have. I know I can go into the airport editor and edit the signs on the gates in GSX, but was curious is there a certain AFCAD file for these airports? Obviously in FSX I would load different AFCAD files, but wasn't sure if that was the same in Prepar3d. I've done some googling and looking but coming up with a variety of different answers. Obviously I don't mind doing the leg work to assign ai…

Hello, New guy here. Be nice, please. Using P3D, and probably a sim model from some other source (TBD). I want to customize the instruments and radios on the model to reflect what is installed on my actual aircraft. I have a Cessna 337, it uses G5 ADI & HSI driven by a GNS 430W with a Avidyne EX600 MFD. Transponder is a GTX 345, and the Autopilot is an STEC 30. The Engines are managed by a pair of Electronics International MVP-50 modules. Traffic alerting and NEXRAD weather radar are also displayed. I am reading as fast as I can; few of my pilot friends are into desk top flight sims, so I need some AVSIM expertise. QUESTIONS: 1. …

My son would like a copy of P3D Academic. I will be the one purchasing for him. Can I buy another Academic License and then install it on his PC even though I have already purchased one for myself?We would like to fly shared cockpit in some addons in the future so he will have to have his own License.

I have a strange situation at Seattle. After landing my Q400 at RW 16R I realized that six(!) ai a/c did not move anymore. Two of them were on RW 16C, four a/c were on taxiways between the runways. While those six were frozen, other ai traffic was still working. Airplanes were starting at runway 16L others were on landing approach for 16C but had to go around because of a/c on runway. I'm aware that sometimes ai a/c stop taxiing (freeze) quite a while when they are leaving the runway. But I've never experienced a situation when six a/c stopped moving. Any ideas what I could do to avoid situations like this? Is it simply too much traffic so that P3D can't handle it? I…

This has been bothering me for a while. Why are there always big puffy cumulus clouds at such high altitudes in P3d? I am doing a fight and right now at FL330 and I am basically skimming the tops of these over Nebraska. It is highly unrealistic to have these types of clouds to high up. Was wondering if there was a way to stop this from happening? I am using latest version of Active Sky for P3d v.45HF2 and Rex Skyforce models.I am trying to post a pic of this but for some reason when I do the insert image from URL I paste it click insert into post and it does nothing. This is the url https://imgur.com/4x6mzGu Thank you, Dave

Hi! My version is P3D V4 and I recently flew to EHAM with vPilot. I don't have an Mega Airport add-on etc. there, just a default map from P3D. Once landed, I received instructions from the ATC (vPilot) to taxi to stand C14. While taxiing, I opened GSX and couldn't find the gate. I informed the controller, who next gave me the C10. When I approached the C10, I got confused. The C10, shown by the GSX, looked more likely a C16 from the Navigraph Charts, but I know it's the C10, because I clicked it from the GSX list and I saw my GSX ground crew there waiting for me. I informed the controller, again, and asked for the C8, where I ended up. …

I don't use ATC as I plan my flights out after checking current active runways, etc online. Is there any way to activate progressive taxi to a specific runway another way? Does GSX have any of this functionality?

Hello I need help! only half of my installed aircraft show up! The only ones showing up are Aerosoft a318/19 and A330, and some of the default aircraft. When i start p3d up, i get a vehicle initialization failed for the f22 popup. Finally, loading doesnt get past 80-90 percent before it completely crashes! It was literally working fine this morning!! Please help! TIA Jamie

Is anyone successfully using BDOAviation sceneries in v4? They are currently on sale and I have my eye on Liege for some cargo ops but it is not listed as v4 compatible. thanks

Question for talented guys out there, if there is any chance for decent livery for QW Bae146-200 or 300 ? There are very few liveries available and those are quite dated.

Is there a way to permanently change the date displayed on P3D startup in the Time and Season window? I can change it temporarily each time I start P3D, but would like to specify a more 'permanent' date that I could change every couple of months or so. Right now it is 'stuck' on 3/26/2019. Thanks, Al

I have updated my A330 aircraft, through the "Aerosoft updater", wich is done automaticaly ... When i updated this specific aircraft to version 1.0.0.7 i can not use the aircraft anymore (crashing my simulator to desktop) I updated everything so far (microsoft c++ redist, java, graphic drivers... everything !) but P3D4 still crashes. 😕 Anyone here got an idea what is happening ? Can anyone help on this ? ...thank you. Dimitri.

Hello I am using V4.5 with 4k monitor with GTX 1080 graphics card I thought that I had read that it was advisable to run P3D in Windows Mode, am I correct? It appears that many users are using full screen mode. I request clarification Clive Alexander

I don't really know why, but I'm looking forward to getting home later and buying this. I've always thought the pretty Spitfire took an undue amount of limelight in both real life and FS, so this looks like a very welcome addition.

This MOD combines my MCP only MOD with a new DOME light mod. Here is one of the MCP lighting. Now to the new Dome lighting. Because the default has two options I have made one for "DIM" and one for "Bright" you could turn them to your liking but don't use both at the same time please. Here is the UI, just click the " - " on the Active line to turn ON and it will turn to a " Tick mark" and be ON Here are some screenshots of the new Dome lighting. Default "DIM" Dome light view to FO MOD version with "Dome DIM" option. Default version of "Bright" MOD version of "Bright" NOTE: I love were the light just catchers…

Released today and available at SimMarket: https://secure.simmarket.com/toga-projects-envsound.phtml Looks really interesting to add more immersion to our sim. Cheers, Ed
