The Prepar3d Forum

I am only interested in puddles,, talking about PBR. New Tivat has PBR. I flew a bit and the question popped in my head. Why puddles are white? It looks like whitewashing or plaster. In my opinion they are dark)) But the shine is pleasant) Here is my flight (4K)

I know I have not flown in a awhile, but the S-Tec auto pilot is doing something really weird. P3D ver 4.5 Default Mooney Acclaim with G1000 CDI says GPS However, every time I engage the NAV button on the auto pilot it commands the plane to fly heading 360. I have never seen this before. Any suggestions why it does this? Even if I switch the CDI to NAV1 or NAV 2 nothing it stills fly heading 360. If I engage the heading mode it will fly with the heading bug so that does not seem to be a problem. Thanks for the help as always, Real

Just received e mail for Pacsim store, that RKSI is released, and the link takes you to PayPal, but look before you leap, as the price is 8999 USD. They still have the place holder in place.

In P3D with FSL or AS airbus i want to memorize a certain point (waypoint), about 40 miles out of LFMN, to excercise my approaches and landings there, so i can start each day or week, again from this same point with same airbus configuration, but in a way that i can alter visability and weather. So i think i will have to configure the complete flight once, proceed to this point, put on pause and then ? how to memorize this faze so i can start over and over again beginning from this same point?

Hallo, after installing the latest version of GSX, Ezdok3 0.1.68 stops working. Ezdok uninstalled and reinstalled. It will not start anymore. It also no longer appears under Add-ons Fuipc and Gsx appear there. Does anyone have any advice? frank

Is there any point of using 4K textures on a 1080p HD monitor?

Hi everyone, I have posted this issue on GSX official support forum, but I am also reposting here because I want to gain more insights from you😉 Description of Issue On every final approach to VHHH in which GSX level 2 was configured (haven't got time to test other sceneries), there is one single lag lasting 0.5-1 second when the aircraft reaches 600ft specifically. Demonstration of Issue (this youtuber's sim may have the same issue as mine) What I know http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=20434.0 According to the discussion in this link, the more diverse the jetways and bridges set are, the more perfo…

Looks great and is using PBR.

Dear all, I wasn't convince at all by the free Albuquerque demo scenery The photorealism texture was fine but the autogen wasn't efficient enough. Not to mention airports which were ugly. Now SimWest just release the South California area and a high rez. texture for San Diego. And I love so much this area that I'm ready to invest in anything that can increase my simmer experience. Any adventurous simmers has tested it and even can compare with Orbx SOCAL + Orbx KSAN + Freeware Orbx aiports for the area ? It's actually what I have appreciate very much.

Is it possible for me to download V4.5....and then use it but with aircraft that I have now on V4.3 ?? Thanks for any advice...Skip d

I'm getting parking position error at BIKF KEF Keflavik airport, I have tried searching and none of the solutions have worked, I have tried using FTX Global Vector Airport Elevation tool by using auto gen and also tried enabling apt and disabling it there with no joy, Also tried regenerating airport cache in Coutl still no joy!

Hi, I am not sure if this is the right forum to ask, but as in this forum the support is really excellent, I'll try it first here ... I have P3D 4.5 hotfix and Active Sky + ASCA running. Today, I found myself in a thunderstorm when starting up P3D at LOWI. I saw all the lightning, but there was no thunder audible. Well, at least, maybe, there was thunder, but really really low and not sure if it really was some thunder. Where can I find the settings to make it louder? In P3D sound settings I set enviroment to maximum, but it had no effect. When starting AS I can hear the startup thunder. I can also hear rain. I've never been in a thunderstorm before, so I can't …

Since a few days ago, I'm having trouble with the rain, that seems to be going horizontally (see enclosed pic). Any help?. Cheers, Ed

Good day to you all, I've updated my prepar3d v4.3 to prepar3d v4.5 and i've updated the GSX and AS/ASCA. But now I'm experienced some bad things going on. When I start my flight, there will be trees, all in green, flickering all the way. I can not play like that. Also when I pan around the aircraft, and all scenery's. I did make a screenshot so you guys can see this,. I really don't understand why this is happening. Please see link. Please help me https://pasteboard.co/Im7O5HA.png https://pasteboard.co/Im7R7at.png https://pasteboard.co/Im7Rja2.png Dear regards, AMSPilot06

Hi folks, Here is a small comparison between textures in Europe (only). Please note: 1) The sim is paused so fps are not relevant. 2) Comparison is done with R&D presets 4K GENEVA DEFAULT GENEVA RD GENEVA ORBX MALAGA DEFAULT MALAGA RD MALAGA ORBX NAPOLI DEFAULT NAPOLI RD NAPOLI ORBX TOULOUSE DEFAULT TOULOUSE RD TOULOUSE ORBX

Trying to get this scenery to work in P3Dv4...https://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?DLID=142503 Installed it and it works fine except the taxi ways are all grass. SO, the fix for that was to open the BGL in ADE and "reset all draw flags". this has worked on a number of old fsx airports now woring fine in p3dv4. this works on KISM as well, HOWEVER, i loose half the buildings on the airport. as I compile the bgl it asks me if I want to compile the "Black box" buildings.if i click yes, they still disappear...weather I hit yes or no, it doesnt matter...I either have all buildings or missing half but have my taxi ways back. Another thing is, i have been taking the new fil…

Hi all, I've been noticing an issue Im having when turning/banking. When I bank any airplane at a constant rate, the plane doesn't seem to turn. All of a sudden 5-10 secs later it turns and compensates for it. This is a bit hard to explain via text, so maybe this link will be helpful: Anyone have any ideas what is causing this? Many thanks!!

Anyone know of any, free or payware? Thanks! Side note, also looking for NAS Oceana and Lemoore.

Hey guys, I just did a fresh install of P3D and I'm seeing some issues of textures where they look completely mismatched and don't belong together. These photos are taken outside of LAS. I have ORBX Global, openLC North America, and FlyTampa LAS installed so I don't know which one might be causing the issue. Does anyone know how to fix this so the scenery looks like its supposed to go together and no just random scenery tiles put together? Here are the pictures: https://imgur.com/a/pu9dLqD Thanks, Dan

I have 48gb of RAM. Afterbutner reports that 25% is involved. How to use memory to the maximum?

So with the release of the free and amazing AIG AI pack, which is probably the most complete one atm, I began to wonder something. Since it uses .bgl files to inject the traffic, how does it affect performance of the sim, if it even does so at all? I know that UT Live is not hard on FPS due to using SimConnect to inject, but is .bgl really that bad or not? I heard mixed opinions over the years. Would love to hear what's the opinion these days, thanks!

Released!

I think there are very few simmers around here who don't experience occasional pauses in P3d to some extent or other, including myself. The pauses seem to have got worse for me. Initially they would happen occasionally. sometimes only for maybe a second, but more recently they have become more commonplace and occasionally last for about five seconds...not good. I'm sure many can associate with this experience. Anyway, after reading some posts on Avsim and reading a recent one from Rob Ainscough regarding switching off sceneries, I thought I would do a fairly long test flight in the NGX. So I am not going to suggest this is a cure for everyone, I am just posting my persona…
