Hello, I recently tried installing the TSS Engine Sounds for the Leonardo MaddogX. My engine sounds aren't working at all for the aircraft. The install instructions give an example on how to setup the multiple engine choices for the Quality Wings 787 and not the Maddog for some reason. I am confused as to what to put for the sound value in the Aircraft.cfg file. I have tried typing JT8, JT8D and nothing has worked.Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Help is appreciated Thanks!

I've been downloading lots of photoreal scenery from https://italyphotoreal.weebly.com/download.html Does anyone know if this contains updated mesh, or is it just the photo textures? If so, is there a better free mesh than the standard P3D mesh I could use for Europe to improve the 3D accuracy of the area? Cheers.

Was hoping someone here might have an idea on this one. I've got Landing Rate Monitor installed to keep track of my flights, and I really enjoy the live map feature. For about the last 8 months, it no longer shows me moving on the GPS Tracker, if I go to Live Flights, I will see my flight, (so I know it's tracking), but the individual map does actually show the tracking. When I land it records my flight and FPM, but the live tracking seems to be off. I've got my FShub.io synced, but the map never pops up. Any thoughts? I've reinstalled the software and actually did a recent reformat of my computer and reload of Prepar3d hoping that would also fix this, but no di…

Hi folks, Im losing the will here with P3D. I seem to have developed blurries all of a sudden. Deleted CFG file and let it build it's own and inserted the following lines into the file. [DISPLAY] TextureMaxLoad=6 [TERRAIN] SWAP_WAIT_TIMEOUT=30 UseGlobalTerrainView=True [GRAPHICS] SHADER_CACHE_VERSION=1 [JOBSCHEDULER] AffinityMask=4092 - 6 Cores and 12 Logicals and want to use last 10 [MAIN] FIBER_FRAME_TIME_FRACTION=0.01 System is L7-8700K running at OC of 4.9 32GB ram GTX1080TI. Also Set my graphics to medium settings. Have I missed something. I am also using NexGen VFR UK but appear to have some random things a…

Hi, Dont know if anyone can advise please. I recently uninstalled and then re-installed ORBX openLC Europe using ORBX Central. This made a complete mess of my P3D Scenery library, Previously, I had all my non ORBX airport scenery at the top with ORBX scenery entries together below that. Now the ORBX scenery is at the top and interspeced is all my other addon airport scenery, between ORBX entries across the scenery library. eg FTX_EU_SCO_05_SCENERY Mega Airport Frankfurt 2.0 Professional FTX_EU_SCO_06_CVX Mega Airport Berlin FTX_EU_SCO_07_MESH FsDreamTeam Geneva FTX_EU_NOR_06_CVX etc Any a…

Which one will be the better choice for my P3Dv4.5 sim, perfoemance, graphics (GTX 1080), smoothenss. Intel i9/9900 or the AMD Ryzen 9/3900? Thanks.

I made a temp fix version but now I have spent a lot of time to make this hopefully stunning new version. And ofc I am happy to share.

Hello,I installed all AIG packages.I am also using UTL. However, only GA traffic (50%).The UTL Airline Density slider is disabled.AIG plightplan setting 1-100.P3Dv4.5 Traffic slider 100.But I see planes more than once. 2 or 3.I can't solve this problem.UTL is creating this problem?Thank you.

I have used GSX with Level 2 Expansion successfully for a few years. Since last week's Live Update, when I then start P3Dv4.5,GSX and GSX Level 2 Expansion both open in Trial Mode only. I then have to re-register both programs with my serial numer and they then work as normal. However when I next open P3Dv4.5 both programs open again in Trial Mode. Virtuali say I have a virus program problem and that I should place the whole of the Add-On Manager folder in my virus program Exclude list. I use McAfee Total Protection and it appears that I cannot add a folder to the Exclude list, but only add individual files. There are several hundred individual files in the Add-On Ma…

Hey guys, first and foremost, Happy New Year to all. Now to my question. I'm only flying GA planes, only VFR style, so it matters if scenery is visually correct. I'd like to extend my American trip (currently from KDFW to PAKN crossing all of the available Orbx sceneries and visiting 140 airports, 7800 nm) and make it a trip from east coast KBHB down to Florida and then west to KDFW and all the way up to PAKN. But since it will be a VFR trip, i'd like to have the path as "scenic" as possible. Btw, what path from KBHB to KDFW would you recommend, where the flight would be the most interesting visually? And since Orbx hasn't done any East or Central scenery, i'd l…

Hey guys, This could be using the next version of Prepar3d as this headset is supported in Prepar3d. Their logo is right below on this page https://varjo.com/products/vr-2-pro/ But look at the trainer - wasn't A2A designing something like this for the US Air force. This could be it; I am pretty positive that is A2A simulations. It could be running on next P3D release Also look here (look at the pic on the homepage of the simulator screen) - https://www.htxlabs.com/ and https://htxlabs.webflow.io/post/htx-labs-awarded-sbir-phase-one-grant-by-us-air-force Is A2A subcontractor for htxlabs or are they working together lol They are using Prepa…

Hello, I've got a Problem on QW 787: When I engage Autopilot the yoke of the 787 turns to left and the Autopilot doesn't fly any turns. It does not follow LNAV or HDG's. When I disengage the Autopilot, the yoke turns to Center and I can fly manually. Where is the Problem?

Anyone using the Delan Clip (poor man`s Track IR) for P3D. I was wondering since I ordered one for another sim but was wondering how it performs with P3D. https://delanengineering.com/

Hi, i did a new install of P3V4.5 only installed ORBX Global and LC and I see black ground textures. These are across all airports. Does anyone have any idea why is so? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1X-1W-Z-vSMRqdQZBt5FRLuv7IpvzZs_K/view?usp=sharing

Hi Guys! I am working on designing a control loading system (force feedback flight yoke) for my home flight simulator. I need to know how to extract data from simconnect for certain aerodynamic parameters based on real time simulation. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Just wanted to know if the receive simobjects shadows is still causing a drop in FPS and stutters at certain airports in v4.5 hf2 as mentioned in Rob Ainscough video is to uncheck it. but that was back in v3. Or has it been addressed? cheers mike cheers mike

Been looking forward to this for a very very long time. Scheduled to come out Monday Dec 09 barring a natural disaster, or the software implodes. Official video. https://youtu.be/-HslN-z59io //Mod edit: title of thread changed to reflect that the add-on has been released

Hi everyone, I just purchased and installed KSEA by Taxitogate. Sode Jetways work fine at most airports, but I cannot get them to show up at Taxitogate KSEA. The configurator is set for Sode Jetways and I did install a patch for P3dv4 but it did not help. Has anyone seen this problem and can recommend a fix? Thank you in advance. Bob I

I have been interested in getting a version of Tenerife South for P3D v4, and I see that there are now three versions available. I was not aware that the SimWings version had been released, and this is the one that I was waiting for. The airport seems to be rendered nicely, and it also has complete photorealistic coverage of the island at high resolution, and with a 5 metre terrain mesh. I would be interested to hear comments from other users about which version of Tenerife South is the best? I think that SimWings and MK Studios cover the entire island, but the Digital Design version is only the airport and immediate surroundings?

Hello there, i have a question regarding the light you see in the following pictures (there are some other pictures that show the exact position (when you start at "UK10" (Plockton) if someone would like to check it out): i am using Orbx Global, Orbx OpenLC Europe and Orbx GES, when i deactivate OpenLC Europe, the lights are gone. Is this how it is suppodes to look or is something corrupted there? Would be great if someone could have a look. Thanks Sebastian

I have raised this as a problem in the past and thought it was corrected, but I am having trouble again. My example is if I fly from a Spanish airport to EGNT. EGNT appears to be a terrible weather problem in that I can't see anything up til the last moment (fog). This has not been the case in real life. The situation is: I am doing the sim at night, and therefore it is dark in the real world, good visibility The time and date is 1300 on 01/01/2019 when I carry out the sim flight The weather in the sim flight is daylight was it should be, but I have a serious problem because the visibility is extremely low due to the fog it has produced I…

I’ve just download PMDG but there is no icon on the screen. Where do I find it? Mac1

Hi folks, Have you heard about Italy Photoreal? These nice guys offer the whole Europe for free and it is frankly gorgeous. Photoscenery + autogen + night textures like I have never seen before in a payware. If you want to help them, donations go to an association that helps kids with cancer. www.peterpanonlus.it The down side? It will take you hours to download and install the whole Europe but it is really worth it. Have a look and enjoy 😉

The two paints have been uploaded to the server for the feelthere E170 v3 package

I have a thread posted over in the general monitor section, but that is more about monitor setup and since this is P3D specific, I thought I would post here as well. I just got a Samsung CRG9 49" super ultrawide. I am having issues only with aircraft. scenery looks fine. I transitioned from a 21:9 32" 4K BenQ. I did not change any settings (except for wide aspect ratio) when I switched to the CRG9. All views, internal and external a super skewed. The overhead shot below are from the center 20% of the screen -- so, 80% of the screen or so is the wider view. I have toggled wide aspect ratio view in the settings. Also confirmed that it is activated in the CFG. I …
