Hey members, I recently bought a new PC for P3D, but I had to install everything fresh, so my PFPX path's were empty, I have a few screenshots on how I have it now, but it is not working as it should be in my FSLabs, when I just put in the callsign, it says not in database... here are the pictures: https://imgur.com/a/8l040g4 My P3D is installed in a EHD, on my (G) drive and the FSLabs folders are in C - Documentes, P3D v4 add-ons - FSLabs ... Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

Please, no negative comments like "We have heard this before", etc. Hi, We thank everyone for being patient during the UTLive development process. The following is our current roadmap for UTLive and PowerPack. In reviewing PowerPack and new features that we feel are important, we came to the determination that the features of PowerPack are best incorporated into the actual produc…

Hello - Im having a strange issue when switching to wing view in the NGX. Im not entirely sure if its NGX related or not. Shortly after getting in the air if I switch to wing view, a whole chunk of the wing has disappeared and you can only see about the last 10 feet of the wing/winglet. Starts out fine on the ground & degrades in the air as I cycle through the wing view cameras. I just did a full drive reformat & reinstall of everything. Never had this issue before. I did just pick up REX Environment Force & was having some problems with that so I was thinking it might have done something weird. I tried different liveries & uninstalled EF / dele…

Hello guys Recently I posted an issue that I have in my flight simulators either Steam or P3d but unfortunately did not have enough replies. I have lost complete sound in both while TV has sound. And my throttle and the landing gear keeps going up and down like crazy. Does anyone know anything about this issue? Thanks

I am noticing black patches within urban cities would be in 4.2. Anyone else seeing this? I am running orbx (not vector) and have black marble running. Sim runs fine other than this. I also just installed sky force but I don’t think that would do anything. Thoughts? I did a night flight last night but obviously didn’t notice. Although the highway lights of black marble popped up more than before.

Hi, i was just wondering how this is done on the A320 and the 738. On the A320 you have detent zones for toga and climb detent. On the 738 however these detents are not present. You can engage toga with the toga button on the throttle lever. But how do you set normal A/T mode after toga engagement when you dont need toga anymore? Do you just need to flip the A/T lever on the MCP twice or how is this done normally? Thanks! Best regards Andi

Hi guys, hope it’s okay to post in this forum. Wasn’t sure if this would be the correct one as I’m not too sure which add on is causing the issue so any help would be appreciated. So here I am in a rainy airport, as you can see below, the puddles look unrealistic and just all over the place 😞 Do you know how I can adjust the setting to make it look better or even remove it altogether? I’m assuming it’s either within P3D itself or maybe a setting within Tomatoshade? But I’ve had a look in the application of tomato shade but can’t see anything? I’m using R&D PRESET, also using reshade along with Rex SF and EF Any advice would be great.

Hi, I'm getting a bucketful of errors saved into the ContentErrors file, and I'm wondering if this could be a cause of my P3Cv4.5 installation running at about 20% to 30% slower than my original FSX:SE installation. I've posted a few below. It was originally full of my Alabeo DA46 errors but 've deleted it now, and lo and behold a whole bunch more have popped up. Are these critical errors and do I need to do research to resolve them? Whilst I'm here does anybody know why my GTN 750 runs like a sloth on valium in this sim, but works perfectly well in FSX:SE So far I'm disappointed that this 64bit simm is running a whole lot slower than my old 32bit simm. …

Having trouble with TomatoShade and cannot find a solution in any forum thread anywhere. I do not have URP. I recreated my Shaders folder as well. Aircraft look fine until/before TomatoShade profile is applied to them. When the profile is applied they look good in the reflection maker: In P3D my settings are as follows: When such aircraft is selected in P3D its livery flickers a bit then turns black even in preview (black inside sim). Aircraft to which TomatoShade is not applied display "fine" (i.e. not black): Does anyone have any suggestions? I see many similar open/unanswered questions on forum. Seems to be a common…

Hi You can see the pic here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/jcjTS8LFQdPELNLc6 Essentially, I don't know why it's like this, but if anyone can explain it, that would be great - thanks. Gaz

I had P3Dv4.4 working with reasonable frame rates. One day, the FPS went from averaging ~30+ down to single digits, for no apparent reason (I made no changes anywhere). I uninstalled P3D Pro Plus in its entirety, ensured Win10/64 was up-to-date on the host and client PCs, ensured graphics drivers were up-to-date, downloaded/installed the current entire version of P3Dv4.5 (downloaded the entire 4.5 from the LM website). I created network.cfg, multichannel.xml, displays.xml, and viewgroups.xml files in accordance with the P3D Learning Center. P3D now starts nominally and the PCs talk to each other over the LAN. I started up P3D and the first thing P3D does is mo…

Is anyone using this scenery successfully? I have a double gates issue,and trying to figure this out. Thanks! https://ibb.co/QXm1QSv

Need some help I cannot get this Hotfix 1 to install properly I have done the Client only update since P3D 3 so I know the game I wonder if a clue might be that at no point do I get asked to reactivate P3D during the install which I believe is a feature of this Update Does that mean P3Dv4.5 Client has not totally properly uninstalled? I have tried the deactivating box during the P3D 4.5 uninstall and I do then get asked for a Licence but this does not work Any one help? xxd09

Hello, please some advise. OLBA Airport Beirut is a default Airport in p3d. Had a flight from Larnaca LCLK( Pay Ware Airport ) to OLBA Beirut but the Airport is with walls and doesn’t look like Airport. I run the Orbx vector for elevation correction plus Make Runways from Peter Dawson BUT still the same problem. Please Advise George

I am thinking of getting this airport. I know you cannot delete the Ryanair. ( not that bothered about that) But the one thing that bugs me from watching the reviews on youtube is the "grass" just straight lines of "3D" grass on approuch look horrible. Is there an option or a grass BGL than can remove this please as the airport and location are very nice. LEAL is really nice so am thinking of adding this to my Spanish collection.

I am usually not a negative person, but i have to say that i am very frustrated right now with this (once) great sim. i have been with P3D for over 3 years (MSFS since the beginning), i have never had issues when upgrading like i am having with 4.5. - Upgraded from 4.4 to 4.5 and had the 8 FPS drop that some were reporting (used locked 30 FPS in 4.4, rarely went below 25 FPS) - Lowered my auto gen settings signicantly and my frames went back to acceptable. was just going to wait for the hotfix to correct the autogen issues. - Was happy when the hotfix finally came out. installed client,content,scenery as instructed. cleared shaders, deleted old p3d.cfg…

Hi, I know the FS Labs bus is a study sim and the Aerosoft (the "Pro" version) bus is for day to day operations, etc. Most of reviews on the FS Labs have been done 1-2 years ago. I own the Aerosoft bus and considering to buy the FS Labs. I would like to know if the FS Labs has better/equal/lower visual quality than the Aerosoft? Especially for the cockpit. From videos and screenshots, I feel that for the cockpit visual criteria, the Aerosoft is the winner? Please answer only on the cockpit visual. I would be most interested by fellows who have FS Labs and Aerosoft. Thanks.

Hello folks, I've run into a little problem using these two products together....DD's Seattle Airports X and T2G KSEA (I also have Orbx scenery installed, and have deactivated any KSEA related .bgl files in the Orbx folders). DD says that its product is compatible with T2G KSEA....but, after I run the installer for Seattle Airports X and even though I deselected DD's KSEA so it should not have installed at all.....when I go back to T2G KSEA, I see duplicate taxiway and runway entrance signs. If I re-run DD's installer and deselect ALL the files and airports thus uninstalling Seattle Airports X, the duplicate signs at T2G KSEA no longer appear. So...seems t…

Anyone have and can share profiles for the F1 Mustang & AS CRJ? Thanks.

...thought to bring you up to date regards Marcus

Hi, I have a feeling this is part of ActiveSky, which I've always thought worked well. It's the ASCONNECTION. I keep getting a message suggesting my machine can handle better setting, and therefore I should make a change to see better SKY. Does anyone know where to do that change? Gaz

I have my weather set to CLEAR and CALM. However, I see a handful of clouds clumped together now and again. The problem is that I do not want to see any clouds. None. Zilch. Nada. A complete absence of white fluffy concentrations of visible water vapour. Is this actually possible, or do I have to live with this in a similar way to those people that want completely overcast skies, but end up getting clear slots no matter how hard they try? For the record, I am using REX 4 Texture Direct with Soft Clouds Enhanced Edition (although I do not see why this should make any difference), and P3D v4.5 Client/v4.4 Content/v4.3 Scenery.

Hi guys, I have just installed P3D for the first time. However, it seems that i''m missing some textures? Please check the image below. Any help would be fantastic!

Hey guys. So I finally have gotten things to work pretty well on my machine except for the fact that I believe my shader files are gone. Everything is black white and grey outside the cockpit and I am not sure how to restore them or re add them? Any advice ? I found one other post while googling and it suggested to hit repair the msi file for P3D setup, did that it changed nothing.
