Hi, Not sure what is behind this but i keeps getting the OOM error which looks like the ones we had in FSX but properly is not . Is it related to my 16GB ram or just low swap file page ? I have a rather small c 😄 drive (400GB with 110GB left ) but plenty of room else here on 5 drives. Any recommendation ? Update: Its on startup/before scenery loads at 80% with the FSL A320 at B20 KLAS and i have 11GB VRAM with my GTX1080TI All my MCEv3 photoreal is on its own drive but with 70GB left. P3Dv4 Drive has 380GB left Thanks Michael Moe

I tried it, followed the YouTube tutorial and manuals, and I still did not like the outcome. Some aircraft it partially worked with, but over all it made most aircraft big shiney materials and make everything else really green and gross looking. I love the idea, but I am not at all educated in coding or game setting or graphics. So how do I uninstall TomatoShade? Theres no tutorial that I can find, and I'm sure I'm the first to want to uninstall since everyone else is in love with it. Thanks! Dmitri

Quick Q: Are there big changes to move on from 4.4.16.27077 to the newest 4.5.11.29713 ? Thanks!

All in the title... Changelog: - implemented aircraft global condition. Each airplane with a unique board number will have own persistent condition of its engine, fuel system, electric system, lighting system, gauges, switches, etc. - improved engine simulation: water in fuel and a metal chip in the oil will affect the engine's work - cold start will cause engine power loss - fixed engine startup if the magnetos have been switched off - fixed assertion in the fuel tank selector - fixed crash after several flight restarts - fixed the sound of the starter when the battery became discharged during spinning of the flywheel - im…

Hey Captains: I just updated my P3D to V4.5 and fly with PMDG 747 and QW 787. In order to solve the Anti-aliasing problem, I enabled 4xSGSS in Nvidia inspector, looks good but FPS dropped dramatically. Is there a way to resolve the anti-aliasing problem for these two aircraft without kill FPS performance? Thanks and happy fly!

This has already been discussed in the last few weeks: in P3Dv4, autogen disappears when at altitude on a long flight, then slowly and belatedly reappears when approaching the destination airport. I did a few tests. Flying the PMDG DC-6B (a fairly complex aircraft) I departed London Gatwick (EGKK) for Manchester (EGCC) and ascended to 8000 feet. Cruising at about 220 knots, the autogen completely disappeared around 8 nm south of the the BNN VOR (113.75) waypoint (about 40 nm from EGKK)) . Rather than continue to Manchester, I decided to descend and land at nearby London Luton, and the autogen started to reappear when I was at about 3000 feet and had slowed to around 160 n…

After all the positive comments here on AVSIM about REX SkyForce, I decided to buy it today. All of the skyshots and comments make this addon look like a wonderful addition to Active Sky for P3d and REX Textures. Since I read that it didn't interfere with these programs, I kicked in my $31 dollars plus. One question about its activation: Do you have to minimize it or start it before running P3d, or is it totally active after you go into its set up screen and make your install choices? I know that Active Sky is started before I run P3d and I minimize it to the taskbar. Do you have to do the same with SkyForce, or is it automatic after setup? Thanks in advanc…

Ever since i bought ORBX global, vector and trees something weird has happened to my gates. I have gsx level 1 (not 2) installed. The thing that is happening is that my gates and marshaller are way above the airport, so they are kinda floating in the air. Does anyone know what could be the reason for this? The only airports that its not happening on is ENGM (I have aerosoft scenery for this one), and ENBR and ESSA. But as far as i know all the other airports are glitched. Does it help to buy GSX LVL2? Or does it have something to do with my ORBX addons? Thanks in advance!

I am no longer able to use sbuilderx315 to place land class and vector polygons in P3Dv4.5. It worked fine until I installed Orbx open land class and Global Base Pack. I have tried disabling all Orbx scenery in P3D world library with no success. Can anyone tell me what is going on here?

OOMS is removed from SimMarket and the developer has not responded to my emails. What is the story with this airport? The FSX version is available but not P3D4. And the south eastern terminal area and cargo ramps are not finished. Does somebody know? Thanks.

I've wondered about this for going on a good decade now. There has to be a technical reason as to why this is a glaringly absent feature in how clouds appears in the sim and I'm just curious what it is. I try to plan flights at dawn/dusk to enjoy the wonderful colors and street lighting but it's always odd that despite having a lovely sky w/ an array of hues in the background compatible w/ dawn/dusk, but those hues never influence the lighting on clouds per se--they are always only in black and white. Here's a rather extreme example from the real world to illustrate that which you will never see in the sim:

Hello, Does anyone know of a modern version of a trike please, I'm still using the AirCreation trike from fsx, running it in P3d. I do use Ant's Drifter and it's very good but I would prefer to use something that's more common in the UK. Thanks Phil

Hi All, I am trying to source a 3rd party BAe Hawk T2 model with an accurately laid-out cockpit and a flight model suitable for training on a VR device.Has anyone heard of one as all the aircraft models I have seen are for the Hawk T1/T1A cockpit layout and flight model.

Hi, What determines the position where the aircraft is placed relative to the taxi line, when loading an aircraft to an airport gate or parking position. It seems that ALL my a/c are positioned TOO CLOSE to the building (when selecting a gate) and sometimes in the grass (too far forward when selecting a parking position). They are always PAST the stop line on the taxi line. Thanks for reply

Hello, I was asking 3 times Pilot's about some small things with the airports from these guys, but didn't get any answer. Remembers me to Taxi2Gate, talented developer, bad support. Maybe anybody here has the answer: For Almeria (LEAM) I wanted to know if it is possible to remove the static Ryanair aircraft, I didn't find the file for it to remove it. And there is nearly no autogen on the huge photoscenery? - looks really empty and brown. For Alicante (LEAL) the same problem with the photoscenery - only some Industrial Buildings on the approach - the rest empty and brown? The airport themselves are looking really nice! Can anybo…

Hallo together, with all the new shader programs, reflections, shadows and lightning in P3D, the scenery gets more darker when its cloudy. Is there a possibility to enable runway / taxiway lightning during daytime? I know that LM turns on the runway lights when it is foggy or time reached. But now it is sometimes dark but not night enough for the simulator. Its a question for all Airports,too. In some addons you can switch on the lights the whole day (bad wheather ops). Maybe a thing for the LM guys, because I think it has to do with the P3D base files. Help is very appreciated. Thank you very much!

So, hello everyone, I just got the QW787 and I can't seem to engage the Autopilot, NOTE: I have only done a joyride, by that I mean I spawned it on a runway, already started and just took off without any FMC programming, when I set the A/P for 10000ft 2500 ft/m and 240kts, but nothing engaged, the A/P light turns on, but NOTHING engages, any fix? Thanks in advance!

Hi, I am running P3Dv4.5 with Chaseplane and PMD aircraft and am encountering the following problem: My zoom level is displayed in the upper right corner of the monitor at 0.5. So I wanted to set it at 0.7 or 0.75, by changing the following file: So I changed : Camera 1.1; Value=Cockpit; Zoom Value=0.7 Camera 1.2; Value=Virtual Cockpit; Zoom Value=0.7 Camera 1.3; Value=Virtual Cockpit Only; Zoom Value=0.7 in that file. However, the displayed value on the upper r/h corner (in red) did NOT change. So I placed the default a/c (Raptor), change the zoom level (upper r/h corner) to 0.7 and saved it as the default flight. After loading …

I see that MK Studios have released a nice looking version of EKVG Vagar Airport (Faroe Islands) for P3D v4.3. If the surrounding islands were covered with high resolution photoscenery, then I would be all over this one. Unfortunately, I am really not a fan of landclass scenery (even customised versions)

I have just installed the FlywithTempa and AEROSKY PRODUCTION - REALSHADE into my p3d, and the sky started to flash and became so weird https://ibb.co/5cnQPDC

hello all, not sured what happened, but all my jetways are now missing and have been replaced with a giant "X" at each jetway location. in all my years of simming i have never seen this. i didnt install anything new or change any major settings, so i have no idea what triggered it. thanks in advance

Almost every day I go to a continent and use the flight planner to plan an hour to an hour and a half flight in my Quest Kodiak. Yesterday I was in Italy. Today I picked Australia. I was about 10 minutes into my flight from Bundaberg (YBUD) to Gold Coast (YBCG) when the simulator (P3Dv4) just stopped. I was stationary in the sky for about 10 seconds and then got a CTD. I have FSUIPC save enabled and save three flights a minute apart. I restarted P3D and went back 2 minutes and the flight continues normally to Gold Coast. Any ideas as to why this might have happened.? I do get pauses sometimes depending on where I am flying but the flight always continu…

Hi All, Looking for a study level GA aircraft with the following features: 1. Simulated icing with visible icing effects 2. rain effects on the windshield 3. Top notch sound 4. TCAS and TAWS(or at least reality XP compatibility I would prefer a turbo prop but I am trying to keep an open mind. I already own a few of the A2A products and the Vertx Da62 doesn't have icing or rain effects.

Can anyone confirm whether the Orbx TE products (e.g., GB South, Netherlands) have seasonal variation, or are they summer only?
