Hi. Using the C-130J variant with the GPU rather than battery, has anyone else found that the engine start buttons in the LM / CS C-130 don't work? Is there something that I'm missing? Further, while I can start all engines with Ctrl+E, I can't select one out of all four by... Ctrl+E,1 (or 2,3 or 4) because in this aircraft the numbers don't seem to have any effect. I never had any problem with the aircraft in FS9 while following Bernard Srulzon's guide, and right up to the point of pressing the big red button, everything works fine in P3d too. I did find a short-form guide to starting up in this forum but... same result. What am I dong wrong? Any help…

Hi, There has been much discussion on the forums surrounding those jaw-dropping videos and images which are forming an integral part of the clever advance publicity campaign promoting ASOBO Studio’s Microsoft Flight Simulator. As part of these discussions, we are reading again and again of user intentions to abandon financial support for the current 3rd Party Community of Developers by ceasing to purchase their products. Seriously?! Surely it must be obvious what the likely consequences would be? Are we really so hell bent on the destruction of our hobby by suppressing all that talent and enthusiasm? Time for a reality check. Despite what we have been told …

Has anyone bought this plane in their recent Sale? And has anyone had any luck getting them to respond to a Ticket? Am asking here because their old Forum has morphed into some 'community thing', but cannot login because they have not responded to a Reset Password ticket. Not sure if it is buggy or what, but for some weird reason, when selecting the AP1 after first making sure that Yaw Damper 1 has been turned on, even at over 10000ft, the pitch just goes haywire,almost pointing the nose up like a jet-fighter. Same with the Heading knob, selecting it does nothing to have the plane Heading in the correct direction; likewise selecting ALT the aircraft still keeps …

Hello - I did search google and checked out the Taxi2Gate forums but saw no response to my issue. I just purchased T2G LFPG two days ago, and for some reason, there is no traffic anywhere at the airport. I use Just Flight Traffic Global and it has been updated to the latest version. This is the only airport that has no traffic and my slider is set to 100% airliner traffic. Anyone here have an idea as to what may be going on? Cheers, Pete

Hello, if someone can help me please. While approaching at around 4-5000 feet or lower, seems to me that it’s a kind of scenery loading problem. It doesn’t exist buildings, houses or what ever, just looks as a drownings. while I open the scenery library inside p3d and press ok everything looks normal. Any advise please? Thank you, Georgios

HI, I currently have in the FSX Scenery Library here at Avsim a freeware version I created of KBMG Monroe County Airport, Bloomington, Indiana, USA. About a year ago I was contacted by a sim pilot who advised me that some key buildings were missing when my KBMG scenery was used in P3D. I am strictly an FSX user. I believe I have resolved the issues, but cannot test it myself as I have not migrated to P3D. The fix provides a pair of .bgl files I have updated and replaces the John Stinstrom FS2004 Military Cargo Objects library with use of an updated freeware Military Buildings Library from MAIW. I believe it is essentially an updated version of the original Stin…

I picked up the subject aircraft recently in a sale, mainly for the variety of liveries. (I also have the Majestic Dash 😎 & although it is labelled the "Series X" for FSX, 2 stores identified it as compatible with P3D V1,2,3 & 4 I have P3D v4.5. The aircraft loads ok, exterior is fine, it can be flown, flaps work & so on, but the gauges are blank. Anyone been able to get the gauges to show up in P3D v4.5? Thanks T45

Where can i get an autopilot gauge that will work in P3D V4? edit: found one

Hey there, So I have this problem with gsx in FlyTampa YSSY. Whenever I land, pretty much only the intl terminal gates are available in the gsx menu. I was thinking I may be an outdated file or something (in which case where could I get a newer version?), but it's quite annoying when I'm not flying intl. Also, when I want to load up in Sydney, I can access all the airport positions from the P3D menu, so I'm pretty sure the problem isn't with the FlyTampa scenery. I've only got the base GSX, and the scenery is working wih OrbX FTX Global. Thanks for your help !

Hello I have p3dv4 + ORBX sceneries.+ A2A C172. I often remark that my texture résolution is empty with squared clouds and lights of PAPI. What can I do? Why does apen ? Thanks for your help !

I've been on Intel for my last 5 or so builds (10+ years). I recently built a 9900K setup. Lots of press right now on how AMD is kicking Intel's a**. Just curious if anyone is running one of the latest high end AMD for comparison on P3D specifically.

Hello everyone, I am not sure if anybody knows Helge Schroeder here, but he is the developer of the products FSNavigator and now FSTramp. Over the past 9 months, me and other blind pilots have come to rely on his autopilot feature in FSTramp as it allows us to input values into either the simulator AP, or for custom autopilots like the Feelthere aircraft, allows us to use them. However, today, 11/27, he claimed that by having an opinion about his business model, which is a subscription at various tiers that I don't like, as well as his stance on accessibility, that I insulted his life and proceeded to ban my license keys. I loaded up th…

Hello to you all, I've a problem with many Scenery addons. I don't know how to explain the issue, so I've some screenshots to you to the issue. It is only during night time. On taxiways and runways. At the newest scenery of Madrid (LEMD) and Cincinnati (KCVG). During daytime no problems. The ground is flickering, it is grey and it is annoying to taxi/depart on. The P3D version is 4.4.16.27077. I revert back from P3D v4.5, because it was not stable. But that is a different issue. With these version I am happy enough. But the above problem I can not figure out why this is happening. Can you guys help me out with the above issue? See screenshots. Dear regar…

Hi I at last plan to Update to V 4.5 And have some questions. I plan to use the full download . Will deleting the Client, Content and Scenery Components delete all my add on Aircraft and Payware Scenery ? I have the Aerosoft A320/321 installed on my D drive, do I need to uninstall this also, and reinstall.? What happens to WX, ATC etc addons installed outside P3D, and FSUIPC ? I installed P3D in Feb this year and this is my first Update. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi ! Recently I have detected a strange a problem about Tomato shade. When using tomato shade and using a preset which uses the extended reflections, the reflective glass of objects, esp. terminal building, get unreflective. I am using R&D Preset v8.1 and it uses the extended reflections. When you return to the default shaders (or if you use a tomato or PTA preset which does not use extended reflections, the reflectiveness works as it should. I have searched everywhere, but could not find a similar complaint. Here are my before/after screenshots.. (In fact movies would be better to demonstrate the reflectiveness, when you move around, you und…

I used to buy thousands of Australian dollars on the FSS website. Now the website can't be opened. Is all the consumption wasted? Is there any way to retrieve my product and order number? thank you ！

Hi, As Black Friday deals are on (both FSDT and DD) I would like some feedback about the 2 versions before picking one. I want KMDW as well so the DD version is more appealing. With today's deals you get the DD version including both airports at the price of FSDT KORD. Worth to mention that if I compare KJFK FSDT is superior to DD although released a few years earlier! Thanks for the help deciding!

Hi I have strange clouds, I can't post on the REX discord as im banned for bringing up issues with their products... https://ibb.co/BwCfqp6 Please help me fix this, Ollie.

I am using AIG AI TRaffic in P3D V4.5 and I am loving it. However, as I have switched off the normal traffic.blg (don't want to see standard P3D traffic), I have no GA traffic. I'd love to see some Piper, Cessna and other planes on the smaller airports around the globe. Any advice what to do?

How do i get the plane to follow waypoints in the F1GTN?

First off... Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! I hope this day finds you with much to be thankful for and are enjoying this day with friends and family. I'm giving serious thought to buying the 737NGXu. I have some questions about the new EFB that is included. I don't own or fly any other PMDG aircraft with the EFB. 1. Are the PMDG checklists available through the new EFB in the cockpit? 2. If they are, are they viewed by zooming into the EFB in it's permanent position in the cockpit and then moving your viewpoint to accomplish the task? Are the checklist items readable on the EFB in a view position that would allow to accomplish the item, or does one have to mo…

I bought and installed it yesterday. First above all, I love this aircraft. Vertx has finally produced a solid G1000 aircraft that flies beautifully. I spent the night reading the manual and a flying it. Looking forward to getting back to doing some long distance GA flying online. Ok, now that sound problem. On selecting the aircraft, I get a windows notice "Config file not found: using default ......." Other than the runway sounds on takeoff and landing, when in the cockpit I get no engine or switch sounds. I did the reinstall sound module via the config UI as stated in the guide. I've uninstalled and reinstalled (No antivirus) and still can not get interi…
