Hey guys, Recently I was using P3D and I was using a lower resolution monitor (1920x1080) and switched back to my 4k monitor (3840x2160) when I fly now it looks like my mouse has a lower refresh rate than my sim causing a fps drop its really weird didnt happen before, any answers for this fix? Thanks Appreciate it

Hi everyone, could you tell me what meshes, scenarios, orbx products, etc; Would you have to install so that P3d v4.5, remain as realistic as possible and the order in which you should install ?. Thank you very much for your attention. Greetings.-

hi everyone it's a few days i moved from fsx to P3Dv4.4 my only problem happend after installing ftx orbx for p3dv4.4 during flight some textures are shown as big squares. i didnt see anyting like this before and also while flight during night the simulator loads the texture of DAY instead night textures. here are some pictures. you can click on them my hardware: cpu : corei5 2500 ram : 8 GB DDR3 vga: msi 1060 please help me solve this.

I am a huge fan of Chaseplane. But EZDOK V3 looks superb. (not affiliated to this in any way). That turbulence module....wow.

Hello there, since I recently started night flying I noticed that the landing, taxi and actually no lights from the aircraft are alluming the ground. The lights itself are shining buit they are not lightening the ground or the aircraft itself. This issue is only affecting my PMDG and QualityWings aircraft, not the ones for example from Aerosoft (CRJ700&900X). Does anyone have a clue what the problem could be? Dynamic Lights and Landing-lights illuminate ground are both enabled. The issue appears both, on payware and default airports. Here is a picture: https://imgur.com/sPYSLLH Thanks in advance, Maximilian

I have been using 4.4 for while without too many problems but I see that Shenzen airport is out but it says 4.5 is the requirement. I have lots of add ons so when the update question comes up I usually ignore it because all my add ons are for 4.4. For years I did not have Shenzen airport in my P3D, it doesn't exist in the base game for me (don't ask). But now that there is a dedicated scenery for it I find myself considering updating. I have been reading posts about updating only client or updating only content or updating both and I am confused on what the procedure is. I have read stories about having to update all pbr sceneries and a nightmare update with orbx. I don't…

Hello, On my installation of P3D 4.5, i recently installed GSX, which worked normal. Today, I was adjusting some minor things (like airplane position at the gate), and since then, my joystick is no longer able to control the airplane's flight controls, but slews the airplane left/right/fwd/aft or yaws left/right iso the rudder input.... I already removed and reinstalled GSX - NO HELP. Can somebody help me out on this? Kind Regards, Eric

Hello! Today I upgraded to Gigabyte RTX 2070 Super. I ran some benchmarks and everything looked great, GPU boosted to about 1950 MHz. Then I made a test flight with FSLabs A320 from LJLJ to LFPG (without changing settings that I had with old GPU). It was running 1500MHz core speed in LJLJ (RFScenerybuilding) and I expected to see that GPU will work even faster while approaching to LFPG (Taxi2Gate). I was on a approach above Paris and autogen was loading behind me and GPU was running at 1000MHz. My previous GPU GTX 1060 3GB was working almost always at 1850 MHz and autogen was loading fast enough. I don't know where is the problem. I don't think there is a bottleneck …

hi everybody, this weekend there is an offer for pilot's mesh global ultimate and also toposim. any suggestions? in general , reading the posts in the past, i see many of the users favorite toposim 19m. but as i can see the pilot can go down to 1m in some cases. the problem is that they don't say exactly where 🙂 anybody used both? and have any photos? i think the benchmark is the Matterhorn in Switzerland. thank you

Noticed I am starting to run out of disc space on my C drive with all the associated files for P3D v4.5. Is it possible to move folders such as addon manager, and others that use a lot of space to an external HD without having to reinstall again? Thanks in advance.

Hi, when I launch the Active Sky 4 program I get this error: "A critical error has occurred in this application. Further program is not possible".Do you have any idea what kind of mistake could it be? Has anyone encountered the same error?Yesterday the program worked correctly, but today this error.Use Prepr3D 4.5Thanks.

Hi, I posted this on the ProATCX forums, but I haven't gotten any replies. I'd like to purchase a new aircraft today, but I want to make sure I can import the flightplans from ProATC X in a similar manner in which I can import them with the NGX. The two aircraft I am considering are Leonardo Maddog Aerosoft Airbus series. I know the website says that they are compatible, but I want to be certain, because there have been multiple versions of these aircraft over the years, and like ProATCX, they were developed for multiple platforms. I want to make sure It is compatible with the latest versions and in P3DV4.4 or higher. Thanks!

In another thread there are recommendations for FltPlanGo. I'm finding this program incomprehensible. Is there any documentation on how to use this program?

I installed Toposim mesh for the entire U.S. and Europe. I must say that I really enjoy what it's done for mountains, valleys, and land overall. However, so many airports are now on what looks like man-made elevations. Before Toposim, my airports looked more natural and somewhat more even with the land they sat on. I heard this was normal after installing mesh, but I was wondering if there is a universal fix for this. I'm OK with everything, but I'd like to correct this so that the airports are closer to the way they really are supposed to be. Stan

Hello everybody I have a problem with P3D v4.5 + Hotfix. It happens to me that I suffer a severe loss of FPS when activating GSX for doing a pushback. My version of GSX is 2.6.0.0. It happens to me with different planes, such as the QW787, the Aerosoft and FSLabs Airbuses, or any PMDG aircraft. Also, it tends to happen more when using more complex sceneries, such as FlyTampa, Aerosoft or FSDreamTeam ones. It almost doesn't happen when flying from default sceneries. For example, I can be setting up a flight with the QW787 in the ImagineSim KATL (the latest version). Before calling GSX, I can easily have 60 FPS (which are locked internally by P3D), but after …

Could have sworn i saw somewhere a couple apps that allow you to monitor your flight on an android app or remote pc where you could view your flight, pause the sim ect. Any ideas what may work for P3DV4?

Hello everyone! I have a friend who just tried VR in P3D and he LOVED it. I wanted to get your thoughts in seeing if it was worth getting into. I am currently running a 32" 4K monitor with a 1080TI. Would it be worth it to go VR? Also, what headset would you recommend and how is the quality of a headset? 1080p? And what about performance.

Hey dear fellows of avsim forums, from time ago I've been experienced an annoying problem when clouds in the skies, strange straight lines casted on gorund when I'm out cockpit and panning the camera and also inside cockpit , I have tested changing the cloud distance draw in active sky P3DV4 but nothing happen, problem is still present, please help!!, My specs are: Intel I5-8600K @ 4.7ghz., 16Gb ram T-Force, SSD disk 1TB, graphic card Asus Nvidia GTX 1070ti ROG, Win 10 64 bits, P3Dv4.5, active sky for P3Dv4, envtex for texture (issue present also when used REX sky Force before). Thanks in advance for help. (can´t upload photos!!!)

I decided to install the TFDi Design 717 again to see if the save options had been upgraded, but I am not convinced that they have. The reason for "boxing" this plane some time ago was because I did not have the save option that I required. The persistence options were either "none" or "as you left it after the last flight". The problem here is that I want to be able to load the 717, initialise all systems ready for pushback, adjust certain settings (time/date/location/spot view/lights/fuel load/payload/displays etc), and then save that so it can be loaded every time that I want to fly the plane. Last time that I tried to use this plane, I was unable to do that. Can anyon…

I have noticed that I get a traffic warning every time that I take off in the QW787. Not a serious issue, but I am just curious to know if others also experience this....

This is just a heads-up to those that have had a Windows-10 9/11/2019 update and P3D will not launch as well Rex SkyForce for P3D. After updating Windows my PC rebooted no problem. I immediately started checking all my programs (Apps) and what I found, was at least for me, P3D and SkyForce would not load at all. See attached link below for my print-screen. The item in the red border box was the first one I uninstalled - it was an easy task to do. After the uninstall I then ran P3D as well as SkyForce and everything was normal. I did not uninstall the other three 9/11/2019 updates as SO FAR I am not experiencing any issues. I also activated a 7-day pause …

Hi, has anyone tried any of the SkyFlyer Hangar Russian sceneries? Screenshots look ok (it's impossible to have such a big country covered properly, but almost every picture has at least a couple of irregularities regarding coverage of autogen over the photoreal layer), but there's no video or review of the product to be found. Regards, Andrej

Is anyone currently using PF3 with P3Dv4? I’m growing tired of the default ATC and want something realistic. I tried ProATCX a while ago but i Found the decent phase/landing phase to be completely unrealistic. That program is fine for departure and climb but the way it maneuvered my aircraft around airports coming into land sucked. One time it had me turn on a three mile short final I was literally over the airport whenever it happened I was like what the heck. So that program definitely needs to be tweaked. It’s a work in progress I should say. But I recently heard about PF3 and was curious because I don’t hear a lot about the program but on forums people compare it to R…

I went into the GSX updater app and updated to the newest version. When entering p3d 4.4, I notice absolutely no difference. is that not the way to do the installation? or is the new version very similar to the old?

Just built a new system and am beginning the long and arduous task of piecing together a fresh P3D install. I bet I have 100 addons to get through. I've got tons of ORBX and all the airport and aircraft addons I need. What are the best addons today for weather, environment, etc? Think REX, GSX, Activesky, tomato shade, etc etc etc.
