    Recently, every time I exit P3D 4.5, I receive an error message that reads "P3D has stopped working. Please close the program". I recently shut down GSX before a flight, and noticed that P3D closed without giving me the message. However, the next time I used it (GSX) I received the same error message. Therefore I have concluded that there must be a conflict, (aren't I brilliant, lol), but am at a loss as to how to track down the problem area. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Michael

    I'm now into virtual reality with HP Reverb and Windows Mixed Reality for SteamVR. Things are OK except I can't find my way around. Things happen that I didn't expect. What I need doesn't happen. Why has that window or thing appeared? How do I get back? What order should I start up the apps needed? Etc etc etc. I'm getting more tangled up in this than I am with the 3m cable. There must be an iinstruction book somewhere but I can't find it. Please can someone help? All the best, Brian

    Gotta love the competition! Thanks Umberto! From FB: GSX updated again today, with support for multiple regional English accents for Pushback and De-Icing. We added British, Australian, Gernan, Indian and Italian accents, and remade the default American sound set with a clearer sound. Regional accents are automatically selected depending on the airport. We plan to expand this feature a lot, since the software can support an unlimited number of languages. Get your FREE update now, running the FSDT Live Update. This update supports both FSX and Prepar3D and doesn't require GSX Level 2.

    I have this issue.. Or it's not an issue. I switched from FS2004 to P3D. When you'd start a fresh flight in FS2004 a lot of aircraft rush to taxi and take off and there is always a queue for take off in the beginning of any fresh flight (or load). In P3D only several, in single digits a/c would start moving, therefore there is too many a/c standing still and occupying space.. Is this normal?

    Anyone getting the GSX pushback crash? I just did the latest update and now when the brakes are released Couatl crashes and needs to restart. I have not had any crashes in months. I knew I shouldn't have run the live updater. Hopeful this doesn't turn into its my fault issue seeing the ONLY thing I updated in weeks was running the live updater.

    So I purposefully waited until the evening time to fire up my sim (which wasn’t hard to do since it now gets dark at 5:30PM lol) just to see how v4.4 compares to the previous version after the sun has set. I can say that there is a HUGE difference. At least with my set up. First thing I noticed was the ramp and just the airport in general was dark. And I mean pitch black dark. I couldn’t see a darn thing! If it weren’t for just pure muscle memory since I frequented this airport quite often, I would have been lost lol. I guess it’s an improvement on realism. It was kinda cool I will admit. After I departed, the trend continued. In v4.3, I could still make out mountain rang…

    I just recently applied the Prepar3d v4.5 hotfix 2 and now I'm getting these black box artifacts on my ground scenery. I have Orbx Base, Vector, and North America. I also have Europe, but I haven't tried flying in it yet. I have a screenshot of the boxes. I have a NVIDIA 1050ti that I use. It was running just fine until the past Windows update and the 4.5 hotfix. Prepar3D_wwwMHnYU0i by Patrick Burks, on Flickr

    Hi all I am looking for a KLN90 or a similar basic GPS for use in P3D v4. I know FS Developers has one, but it is only 32 bit and will not work in P3D v4. I have the GTN75, but sometimes I just like to use a simple gauge. If anyone has any ideas, I would be most grateful. Thanks John

    Hi All, as a bit of a klutz when it comes to computers perhaps anyone can assist. If you e.g add an aircraft which has an effects folder does the folder go into the effects folder in the main P3|D folder or is it all the contents of that folder that need to go there? In other words you would open the effects folder for that aircraft and paste all those files over to the main Effects folder.Hope makes sense!🤔
