Here is a question for those smarter than I. I have been trying out the many textures that are available from http://1coder.ru/SKY/index.html which are very nice. However it seems P3Dv4 is not using all 10 postsunset textures. It seems to only use the first texture (sky_postsunset2_0) from after sunset all the way to just after midnight which is when the midnight textures kicks in. For example I like Set Rime (sky_postsunset2) textures as this gives a nice long sunset and I use Set_MyVFR midnight textures for a darker night. Problem is that after the sun sets there is no gradual change to darkness. I would have assumed these 10 postsunset2 textures are used for…

I was happy to try-out the old 717 version originally written for FSX of these little bird and is a Boeing crossing between the old DC9 and MD8.x series with modern avionics (glass cockpit) and bought it for Prepar3DV4.5 because these little airliner was giving 30-40 fps in my VR HP Reverb rig but there was only 1 minor point in that older FSX build and that was the Real Light Bug. As soon as you switched on any light, it is falling from say 30 fps to 10 fps. The good friend that was giving me the FSX version said that probably there was a fix because TFDi has ported the plane complete to P3Dv4 with loads of bugfixes so I decided to buy the latest 1.1 version. Long s…

Hi everyone, I had a computer die on me about a year ago and I am not in a position to replace it right now with something made for flight simming :( That being said I have a Surface Book 2 through work which has a GTX 1050 graphics card and a i7 8650u processor. Is there any chance this can run p3d decently? Most of my flying is the pmdg 738. I do have add-on scenery etc too. I just dont want the heavy start of installing ,tweaking, etc. only to find out I get 3 fps and it is unusable. Even though its a work computer there is no problem putting legitimate software on it

Hello all, I am using UTlive for the injection of AI traffic into my P3D sim. Whenever I am flying, I love the fact that aprons are not that empty. On the other hand, installing aircraft base models and repaints for them is a real pain in the word not allowed. I am attempting to add some cargo traffic and routes into UTlive. So far so good, downloaded schedules for Fedex and UPS but no aircraft assigments. I downloaded several aircraft basepacks such as the TFS A300, A310, AIA 757 etc. I modified the simobjects.cfg so that UTlive knows where to find my aircraft. When I go back into UTlive to assign the repaints to the schedule, I notice that 'T…

hi, i am having an issue with Vpilot for Online VATSIM using all my cores 0-7 (or 1,3,5,7)and it seems to drain the general performance by quite a margain on my PC. Has anyone noticed the same ? Michael Moe

Hello fellow virtual aviators, I am fortunate enough to be able to build up a new rig for flight simming (i9 9900K, RTX 2080 super, dedicated m.2 drive) and because of the aspect of shaders changing on the fly depending on weather conditions I bought the REX Skyforce and Environment force pack. After some flights with this combination I am pretty satisfied but I am missing a few aspects or settings I cannot alter within EF but I'd like to because the simm would look so much better (Rayleigh scattering, scenery and city lighting). Therefore i would like to use PTA (have a key) as well. Since both tools are shaders tools, I have been on a search on the internet w…

Looking to buy DANVFR - DANISH PHOTOREALISTIC VFR SCENERY FSX by Taburet for FSX. Does it work on P3D? - Comments much appreciated best regards

Hi guys, Im new here but i do fly a lot on p3d v4. so i am that realism guy that is searching for the most up to date AI package in terms of models and textures and in flight plans. some airlines for example are in transition from an old livery to a new livery, great example is Southwest airlines. most ai packages just have only the new livery or the old one. That i just don't like. do you guys know an ai pack either freeware or payware that is the most up to date to 2017 liveries and flightplans all around the world with almost every airline? plz let me know. Thanks

I recently updated to V4.2 (Client and Content) and am getting CTD when precipitation is present, rain or snow. This can be using either Active Sky or default weather themes. There is a thread about the issue on the Prepar3d forums, and LM have stated that they are aware of it and will fix it next update. I hadn't heard of this before updating yesterday, and am curious as to how many of you are experiencing the same problem. Thanks. My rig - windows 10, i7 4790k, GTX1060 6gb, 16 gb ram, 500gb SSD.

Hi guys, I recently got the Virtavia c-17 and b-1b. I was wondering if there was a way to to air to air refueling in p3dv4 so i could extend my mission time. Both freeware or payware although I would prefer Freeware.

Out of curiosity, is anyone having success/good performance running SSAA and FSlabs? I know the easy thing is to just try it and see how it goes but thought I would check to see what people think. Some one the new scenery I am running (FSDT ORD for example) says SSAA should be used to fully benefit from PBR. After the hotfix, I am having trouble with shimmering and flickering lights at night so I thought I would see if SSAA would fix that. Full transparency, I am not too sure on the differences between MSAA and SSAA or not using it at all. My pc specs are below: Operating System: Windows 10 Home Edition (64-Bit) Chassis: CM Storm Scout II Advanced w/…

Hello pilot, I would like to have opinions on the new Nvidia "NVCleanstall" software if you have someone already using it. Until now I was using DDU to install a new driver, but this NVCleanstall software seems to have more options than one can choose when installing graphics drivers. I also take the opportunity to ask the opinion of those who have installed the new version of graphics driver 440.97. (I am on GTX1070ti) Thank you in advance !

Just saw it was released! anyone got it yet? oppinions? thoughts? fps, etc etc... Regards Pelle

Finally NVSurround can be used without the fisheye effect. LM has solved it by making special shaders which corrects the distortion. In P3Dv4.3 : Open the Menu taskbar in P3D Go to Views Go to Manage Camera's Fill in a name for the new Camera view At the right from the list at the bottom check "Wideview" Set the zoom you want ( best 0.31 --> has to be higher than 0.30 ) Save as Scenario Fly without distortion ...

I have just installed the P3dv4.5 Hotfix 2 Client and when I came to load the FSLabs A320X, which I use all the time I received this error message: Flight Sim Labs DLLs - Unsupported Prepar3D version Has anyone else received this? Does anyone know of a fix? I have emailed FSLabs but so far received to reply, and can find nothing around anywhere. The Hotfix was released just a week or so ago. I'd be interested to know if this affects anyonelses planes or systems, and which updates from add-on suppliers are available so far?

I'm not sure if I'm putting this in the right place. It might belong under freeware. I put it here since I know many folks have been looking for a decent AI solution. I used AiG's AI Manager (beta 8.3,2) to successfully install 21 liveries in P3Dv4 yesterday evening and today. The one click installer (OCI) lives up to it's name. It does indeed install an airline with one click. United Connection has a problem that made it hang and forced me to close it's install, but I found a link to a file on their forum that when copied into a specified folder allows you to restart the one click a 2nd time to complete the installation. Skip UC if you don't want to futz with it for…

Hey guys Looking for a P3D (XP11 also possible) with accurate flight model. Looking for accurate vyse, vMC, etc... Doesnt have to have glass cockpit just want the best accurate flight model. Thank you! John

Hi, I´m trying to do NAVAids update (https://www.aero.sors.fr/navaids3.html) beceause I have a problem with ILS landings - database in P3D has another frequencies that I have on FMC in plane. I have latest P3D4.5. I am using Aerosoft A320 with up to date data in FMC. I have subscription to Navigraph. I also use ORBX base pack (dont know if it might be related). But I still cant get right ILS frequencies to P3D. For example LHBP airport ILS RNW 13L. Navigraph chart says: 128° / 109,15 Plane says: 128 / 109,15 I did update with NAVAids but if I check in P3D using map it shows that frequency is 111,7 / heading 130. I tried to check with BGL Facility scanner …

Has anyone gotten this to work in 4.1? For the life of me I cannot figure out how to install it. If anyone has success, would you mind letting me know how? Thanks!

Hello, First of all, I don't know if this issue is P3D related or if it has to do with an AIRAC cycle. As you can see, the FMC thinks that the runway (27R at KORD) is in a different spot than what P3D says. The aircraft I'm using is a QW787, the AIRAC cycle is 1805 (the one that came with the aircraft). At other airports I've also noted missing runways (the airport database of P3D hasn't been updated in years I suppose?). Now, is this something I can fix or is it just one of those quirks of using old underlying data?

Had better performance with hotfix 1. Anybody have the installer because it's not in the download section on Lockheed's sight. I believe it's 4.5.12

Anyone having this issue in Prepar3d v4.5. I did a 90 minute flight and the normally stutter free now has very noticeable stutters and scenery loading lag.

Hey Friends. I just purchased this addon yesterday. I also own PMDG 737/747 with expansion for each and the QW787. One thing I noticed immediately is that the textures/livery's seem to be a notch down in quality compared to the others. Things like viewing the wing/engine from the inside airplane view. Am I just missing a setting or is this airplane in fact a little lower quality than the 3 others I list in the quality department? thanks

G'day all. My problem states on the title. OBS will not capture p3d. I recently updated to the new hotfix and I decide to stream a flight and obs will not see it in window mode or game capture. I looked up some things about the same thing with other games, And they said. "Run OBS as admin" Then I did...Then it still happens. I can do Display Capture but I dislike people seeing my windows and taskbar etc ( I have even reinstalled and installed Streamlabs OBS and still doing the same thing I think its the new hotfix. Also Its capturing yet capturing the menu screen when you ESC and not actually capturing the actual sim) If you can help thanks!

Hey guys so I just upgraded my pc. now I am about to purchase a ssd nvme 1tb my question is does it have a faster response to loading of scenery/ terrain ? In P3d? and will my other ssd 840 pro x3 get affected by this? board is a z390 master gigabyte i9 9900k 32gb ram Corsair 3600 MHz cl16 1080ti msi lightning z
