The Prepar3d Forum

Good afternoon, I did the content, client and scenery update for 4.3. Does anyone know if I have to reinstall ORBX Global, Vector or OpenLC? My airports seem to be good..just curious to know if anything got overridden.

I have P3D v4. I'm using a Saitek Yoke. I can't steer any plane on the ground; in the air everything works fine. I have 'Autorudder' checked. With no way to steer on the ground, it is impossible to taxi to/from anywhere without crashing. I've checked the axis settings and such in P3d and don't see anything that would appear to result in any problems. I'm using Ezdok, and have FSUIPC5 installed, although I'm not really using it (other than I think it was required for something, possibly Ezdoc or ASN). Any thoughts?

Greetings.. before I ask I’ll start by saying not sure what section this question should be asked so please feel free to move this to the appropriate section... I’ve been contemplating a purchase for a while but have been waiting for a sale on the item(don’t want to name the item to avoid a “this ones better than that one” conversation) it’s come on sale however I’m looking for insight on something...how can a re-seller(I imagine is what they would be called) have a sale on an item however the publisher of said item still has it on at regular sale? thanks

Currently I have Active Sky and run that with ASCA and Skyforce. I realized that I also have Envtex but never really used it. If I want to try Envtex a bit, what sort of differences would I see if I uninstalled ASCA entirely and loaded Envtex? Right now, I use ASCA for dynamic skies but untick all of the cloud options. Will I see much of a difference with Envtex? What do you all like for a good mix of these applications? Thanks

I just purchased MIA v5 from LatinVFR and I am impressed with the scenery and will make great use of the airport. I have noticed that i am getting weird floating grass textures across the taxiways. I have included some screenshots to illustrate what I'm talking about. I've done several google searches and have registered for their forums but haven't received the activation email yet. Google provided no help to the issue. Thanks for any help you might be able to provide. Brian

I just reinstalled the FSL A320 and am getting crashes to desktop after loading it. I knew of a solution in the past but I cannot remember it anymore. I would very much appreciate any help with that. Best Bernd

So I've been hammering around the skies in the Pro version and love the engagement of the aircraft. Anything jet that is just engaging? Looking for mid to long range if possible.

I know fps are not a reflection of performance etc etc, and smoothness is what we should be seeking, but when they drop to 8 and bounce back up to 20 that's a pretty good indication that things are not too hot! I am experiencing very poor performance when travelling south from W52 Goheen airstrip flying towards KPDX. Once I hit the city area, it really gets very stuttery, every time. Even with all sliders on low or normal, the issue remains. I know around the Seattle area such issues exist in FSX and I suspect this is similar due to the extra autogen buildings, but I'm surprised at how severe it is. It's a difficult pill to swollow, as I enjoy most of the time a steady 30…

So I am having the following issue. This is at STL and I am using WorldWide Airport from REX. Any ideas on how to fix this? https://prnt.sc/plcs5g

For months - I have had to use a joystick (T.master Hotas) with PD3 because it just refuses to let me use Saitek Yoke with Control levers for Throttle Prop and Mixture. Each time I try to set up the system - PD3 insists that the axis Z is for the throttle and I cannot use my Pedals (Tmaster) I find it ridiculous that I have to use a Joystick in a GA simulator - and not a Yoke - even for a heavy jet eg 747 I recently decided to move over to XP 11 - because it immediately recognises both Yoke and pedal set up - but feel frustrated because I have so much Orbx for the PD3 Any helpful suggestions??

Anyone have problems with this after there update? So i tried to run it when i upgraded 4.4 to 4.5 and said not the right version etc. So FSPS released an update today and upon double clicking it to start it does..... well nothing. Submitted a ticket. But was wondering if any other peeps had the same problem. Regards Mike

Just bought a x56 hotas and looking for some help with best mappings for India Fox echo typhoon. Thanks.

There is one problem that I encounter frequently and it drives me nuts. Out of the sudden, the sim decides to replace my button and axis assignments with new ones. For example, I have "autopilot disconnected" assigned to my joystick and the next time I press it, it is suddenly assigned to some function for controling the Avatar mode. I tried to make the standards.xml read-only but this seems not to have any impact. However, the next time I start the sim again, my settings are there again, Today, it happend right in the middle of a flight. I checked my assignments before doing anything and everything was fine. But as soon as I started push-back, it was replaced aga…

Hello guys, i've been away quite a while from REX forums and products. 1. Does anyone know what the status of the REX weather engine (Weather Force) is? AFAIK it should have been implemented in SF3D in a Technical Update, replacing the default one... 2. Can somebody please share the latest Build Numbers for SF3D and EF? Thank you!

Hello all, I have read many many posts about this issue and have tried nearly all of the suggested cures but still cannot get any buttons/knobs /controls etc to work on the 737.It had been working fine ever since i purchased it months ago so am totally confused why it has suddenly stopped working. Doesn't matter what view i am in (VC, FO etc), the buttons are not clickable. If anyone can help me i really would appreciate a reply here or via a private message. Many thanks Andrew

Hey guys. Running the latest hotfix for P3D. I'm not sure I ever recall seeing the moon. But I can't seem to see it anywhere. Sky Force should control it as I have it selected. Anybody else?

Anyone had any luck getting back into their a/c at this online site? T45

Hey guys, a week ago yesterday I was sitting at home with my cousin and as he owns the Erfurt scenery for P3D V4 (Aerosoft) he asked me if I knew how and where to get the corresponding SODE files from. However, I don’t own the airport myself and so I don’t know anything about EDDE SODE files. Maybe you can help us? best regards, Jo and Dani

Hey guys, I have a strange problem with my FSLabs A320. I have the latest version and the latest tomato files. Tomato Shade version 31 installed. I will attach a picture so you can see what the problem is. Thank you for your help Best regards, Daniel

I am a big fan of the Rafale fighter jet. Does anyone know of a good one that works in P3Dv4? (either free or pay)

Hello, this is what I'm seeing for ground textures after my upgrade to HF2: This update was the first time since my initial install of P3Dv4 that I updated all three parts (client, scenery and content). I use UTX for vector data and ORBX Global Textures and LC. After doing the update, I ran the UTX setup tools to reinitialize them, and then went into ORBX central and did a verify files for GLobal and all of the LC addons. I'm guessing this is an issue related to either ORBX global or LC...did I miss a step? Thanks, Dave

Just downloaded P3D4 and installed into my system because I was tired of getting those OOM's from FSX. I was told by Peat Dowson that if I didn't want those oom's I should go with a 64bitt game vs the 32bitt like FSX. Anyway after downloading and activating the download and opened P3D4 I keep getting the error message DXGL_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG. I have tried updating my drivers and set my regestery to see the 64 bitts but still cannot get the game to start. The first screen works (setup) but that is all. Hpwells.

Hello, has anyone Dreamflight Studios Airports running in v4.4? I've problems with Apron Night Textures at all 3 Airports. They are looking great at day. MRLB, MDPP and LFMP Thanks Urmel

For the last few weeks I've been delighted by my new combination of P3D with HP Reverb headset. Today I flew the helicopter from Hethel to the nearby Tacleneston radio tower and back. In the first few weeks of Reverb I could move around in the cockpit and everything stayed where it should be; I could even poke my head through the right door and look down to the ground beneath over the right skid! Amazing. But on today's flight I could not do this. As I move my head around the cockpit everything else moves around with it, for example when I lean forward to adjust the transponder's squawk code the transponder moves away from me. And, strangely, when I play back the flight u…
