Hi, Yesterday I received an error message with Out of Memory for the first time. I wanted to fly from KPHX to KCLT and I have both airports as default scenery. After about an hour of flight I get the message saying Out of Memory. The error always happens in exactly the same place. I have autosaves with Volanta and by chance a safe was made before the message came. If I load this safe, it crashes immediately. Then I took a save file that was about 20 minutes old. I can load that, but when I get to exactly the same place it comes out of memory again. I find this very strange because I never had this error. I have 32GB RAM an…

I got so fed up with windows defender running all its ape apps in the background ( even when I turned it off ) that I finally decided to remove it for good using a "DefenderRemover" tool. I`m sure it was the reason for stutters and delays on my (New)Win 11 system, actually I wish I had stuck with win 10.....Anyway I guess I`ll have to find a AV if only to run it now and again, like I do with Advanced System Care....but one things for sure I`ll turn any AV off when in Flight with P2Dv5.4 and X Plane 11 I've heard about AV with gaming modes, but should they be trusted?

I wanted to see if there was any payware level scenery for Wittman Regional airport (KOSH) or the Oshkosh, WI area for both FSX and P3Dv5 but found absolutely nothing when I tried searching the web. All I found was a couple very old and poor quality freeware scenery for FSX and older versions of P3D. It really surprises me that there's no payware level scenery for this airport/area being that Wittman is such a unique and well known U.S. regional airport because of the popularity of the air shows there. Please airport designers, give me a nice WIttman Regional airport! I don't buy a lot of payware airports but I would pay good money for it.

Hi all. So I'm using the default ATC for P3D V5, just mostly to get taxi instructions and then fly my own route, and to hear what other AI traffic are being told to do. Anyways, when I listen to the default ATIS, for some reason it is NOT recognizing ILS approaches for some runways. For example when I listen to the ATIS for CYVR (Vancouver Int). Runway 8L and R don't have an ILS approach with only 26L having an ILS approach on the ATIS. And if the Weather is set to IFR it will state "landing Runway 8L/R, ILS 26L". Normally I wouldn't care about this, but what ends up happening is that the AI will actually end up using the ILS for Runway 26L and then circle to Runway …

I've suddenly experienced strange fast blinking stripes going out of the planes (screenshots in spoilers). Shaders folder deleted, as well as full reinstall of Prepar3D. Video driver is latest. Could anyone help? https://i.ibb.co/ZTYFbVb/Clipboard03.jpg[/spoiler]

Greetings! I have a new computer I bought specifically for P3Dv5.3 and MSFS 2020. On my previous computer, I was running P3Dv4.5 and the visuals were beautiful! However, on my new rig, P3Dv5.3 looks OK during daylight hours, but the dawn, dusk and night sky textures really suck - badly! I'm using RDShade and ReShade, along with Rex SkyForce3D for the clouds only. I've been trying to tweak this for a couple of weeks but can't seem to find the sweet spot. Any recommendations for presets? Here are my system specs: • Intel® Core™ i9-12900KF 3.20GHz • GIGABYTE Z690 AORUS MASTER - EATX • (2) * 16GB…

P3D 6.1.8 released today. https://www.prepar3d.com/announcement/2023/12/132236/

Hi , its bin a while since i used P3DV5.4 so my FSLabs A32X series was planned yesterday for a flight. I had alot of issues getting it not to CTD with error like the DXGI and G2d.dll . Essentiel a 2hour friday trip took about 6 hours. In the end i did not touch traffic and the EFB for those errors above. So how do i turn off the autostart with sim function in P3DV5? It loads regardless i disable it in the add-on.cfg. Thanks Michael Moe

Hi All. I have the above scenery installed in P3D V5.4 with all the patches,( manufacturers own and INI builds) and basically all is well except one thing that is annoying me. With the afcad that I have the aircraft are entering rwy 07/25 early and backtracking to the end to take off on 07 instead of taxiing to the end of 07 which is the norm at mkjs. This quite often means go arounds with aircraft on the runway to long when on final approach. I'm afraid I don't know how to adjust afcad files so if someone has another file to solve this problem or knows where one can be found, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks to anyone for your kind consideration. Best …

Hi, I recently had a problem flying. Usually, the fps come out around 40 to 45, but if you fly in cloudy weather, the fps drops to around 7 to 11. So I studied what the problem was and found that the fps fall only when I put the point of view to the volume cloud. It stays at around 11fps (in cloudy weather) until you reach the cruising altitude from the ground. By the way, my sim problem is that if I move my point of view to a cloudless place, the fps will rise above 60fps, and furthermore, after a while after reaching the cruising altitude, the fps will be back to normal again. Even when I'm descending to land, the fps won't drop. I'm currently running Active Sk…

Suddenly, for no apparent reason, elevations for ALL airports both add-on and stock are wrong. Also, scenery polys (?) are showing up where they should not be. For example: SVMI is right on the coast of Venezuela and that there is mostly ocean North of the airport; no desert polys or city tiles. However, North of the airport all I see is city and tan desert-like tiles. I've disabled ORBX one at a time(I have them all), Pilot's 2024 Mesh one area at a time and even un-installed and re-installed the P3Dv5.4 Client to no avail. Thanks

After getting a new PC with WIn 11 installed I cant get AI Manager to go past the initial screen of "Load airports" Ive tried running it from different drives. Any tips? was working great with my old Win 10. Cheers.

Hello, I have a blurry visual under P3D: Mainly the runway lights and the clouds. I tried different settings, reduced everything to minimum, I couldn't find the setting. I have a good graphics card, a RTX3070. Someone would have any idea ? Thanks in advance Joël

Yep, yesterday I used my rather old Flight1 account to buy FSHUD. After a long while trying to settle for an ATC robot I found FSHUD should probably be the best option. I have to learn how to use it. Was planning to couple it with some AI traffic / liveries injector, AIG was in the 1st place, but for the time being I'll be more than satisfied with default AI controlled and injected by FSHUD 🙂 I have spent in P3d v5 + v6 in one month almost as much as I spent in two years with MFS, but have received from each of my sim sessions with both versions - P3dv5.4 and P3dv6 - 10x the joy either MFS or XP12 ever provided me... I bought only one aircraft so …

Hello sincerely, I have such a problem with QW787 that when I turn on the landing lights the HUD becomes very bright. I have the latest version with SP4. I returned to the 787 after a long break and honestly, I don't remember if this problem occurred. Now QW has basically ceased to exist and their forum has been dead for a long time. Generally about SP4 is the ability to control the brightness of the HUD, but with every time I turn on the landing lights the HUD is very bright, which at night strongly interferes. Turning off the midsummer makes it dim again. Maybe someone of you had a similar problem and managed to deal with it. I also have an add-on from //42 787 imm…

Does P3D support NVidia's frame generation?

I am super excited for this release, as this release allows some unique simulation products to be created on this platform. Obviously P3Dv6 is testing ground to P3Dv7 Unreal version. See here Prepar3D V6 To Release This July - FSNews Straight quote from the link "However, there is hope. Lockheed Martin has partnered with Unreal for all of its simulation tools. This partnership has not played any part in the development of Prepar3D V6. However, there is the possibility of a whole new P3Dv7 running on Unreal Engine. This could rocket the Prepar3D product back into the limelight. Time will tell."

I bought Cloud9's scenery for Sarajevo (it was on sale). I installed it into P3D v5.4 (it was a manual install, no installer) and everything went smooth except I have no jetways. Only red X's where the jetways are supposed to be. I installed the SODE files and SODE is registered and active, but I still have red X's in the scenery. Any idea what could be wrong? Maybe because I am using SODE v1.8.0?? I did email the developer of the scenery twice but never heard back from him. So hopefully someone here can help.

Hi all, I thought I'd spend my Sunday playing around with the Multi Crew Experience add-on for the iFly 737 Max, so I purchased it online. They took the payment, but no download link ever appeared; login to my account, to download my invoice, my serial #, yes - but no download link? I contacted support my haven't yet received any reply. Obviously I'm missing something here? Thanks, Daniel

Hi all, I don’t know the reason, but every time I start P3D5, values from JOBSCHEDULER are changed automatically in Prepar3D.cfg. anyone knows what could be the reason? Thanks

I got RCTP, RPLL and SBGL on sale recently and they are all fine during the day but during the night they are buggy, especially the ground textures. Ive added a clip to showcase what i mean, the clip is from RCTP at night and day. I am quite unsure of how to fix this, as this is the first time im seeing such an issue. Ill also attach some pictures of SBGL at night and day

Hi All,I cannot use VR in P3Dv6.0.36. All other flight sims do not have this problem - P3Dv5.4, XP11.55, XP12.08, and MSFS can all run VR. In P3Dv6, a message pops up stating that memory is running low. If I switch out of VR, everything is ok. I've tried reducing the graphics settings to very low, but that doesn't work either.My system is a late 2019 Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-9900K CPU @ 3.60GHz 3.60 GHz, 64GB RAM, RTX 2080 Ti card (I think 16 GB VRAM).Is anyone else experiencing this problem?Thanks,Jim

Version 8557. Compatible with 5.4 From the changelog: Prepar3D v5.3 and 5.4+ support is now included, with further EA integration features including new in-cloud visibility reduction and cloud motion effect for low ceiling cloud layers, and extended radar integration with legacy clouds in EA mode. The latest 5.4 update from Lockheed Martin is recommended. In a few minutes I'll start a flight from EGPH to EGPD and perhaps see some improvements. Rein

I have been playing around with the Nvidia control panel options and there are two options I would like a better explanation of what they do in P3D. Multi-Frame Sampled AA (MFAA) - On or Off Low Latency Mode - Off, On, or Ultra I have a GeForce RTX 3080 card and a 1080p monitor. I am not sure what option I should use to get the best quality in P3D.
