Hi Folks, Scenario as follows: Screen1 2560x1440 - Primary Screen Screen2 1920x1080 Elgato 1920x1080 When using windows, photoshop and the like screen 1 displays 2560x1440 When using P3D Screen 1 drops to 1920x1080. How is this happening. The Elgato is constantly mirroring screen 1 at all times. Puzzled Thanks Steve.

Hi I cannot solve this issue... It looks as if its some kind of motion blur! Very annoying. Any ideas? Heres a video: BenQ 60hz GW2270 monitor Vsync, FPS unlimited No external lock. Thanks, Ollie.

I may be adding 2+2 and making 100, but 2019 looks shaping up to be a fantastic year for new facilities for the P3D user. A speculative look at what may be around the corner really excites me. You may have other ideas or think that I am talking nonsense, but here goes.... - P3Dv5 delivers much improved graphic definitions and speeds, new scenery functions, and improved AI functions. - Orbx deliver openLC Africa, openLC Asia and Australia v2, Global Buildings and improved Global Trees, and some new free airports - POSCON will release V1. Will this upstage VATSIM and IVAO? - Navigraph release new ARINC navigation database to support radius-to-fix tu…

I’ve been reluctant so far to move to v4. I fly A2A kind of aircraft in OrbX scenery for short flights and OOM are not a problem. The benefit/cost of moving v3 to a 64-bit version was not obvious to me . But... But most of the new tempting addons are for v4 now and it seems that, over the updates you guys helped to troubleshoot 😉, v4 has improved a bit. Am I right, is 4.5 much better than 4.0 was for a flyer like me ? Which new features make a difference ?

Since there is a POSKY 747-8 avalible for download on RIKOOO, is there a way to make the older 747-100/200/300 avalible for prepar3dv4?

P3d v4.4 there is no smoke for ai aircraft landing... What to do?

Hello all, I've pretty much always had OrbX's Northern and Southern California packages installed, and usually this has lead to rather bad performance around SFO and especially LAX. Currently I have the entire state of California covered with MegaScenery Earth's California package, plus Nuvecta's autogen on top. I still have OrbX's California regions activated, as they provide POIs, as well as vector data for roads to enable vehicular traffic on all major roads. The other day I was testing performance in this new setup around both LAX and SFO using the Carenado Seneca. This will not compare too well with the liked of the PMDG NGX, but as a firts try I figured it…

I have no external textures in the Justflight Hawk. In the outside view I just see the twin cockpit and nothing else apart from a shadow of the aircraft on the ground. thanks, Bill

I have just purchased the above and have come across a problem. When i start the software and then start Prepr3d v 4.4 i can hear the aircraft however i have got a black screen. I assumed at first it was doing something with the shaders but clearly this is not the case. I am also running tomato shade so not sure if thats something to do with this problem. Any help would be appreciated

And it's looking mighty fine, hoping to see some user screenshots 🙂

Recently I did a new reinstall of Prepar3d V4.5. A clean install. I ran the program with no addons, flawless. I than added Orbx global, LC N America, Northern California and the dreaded BEX64 StackHash now occurs. The program crashes as I select options, world, and adjust autogen buildings up or down. Interestingly, this does not occur if I am at the default airport. Any suggestions?

Guys I just bought REX SF and EF as a bundle and I'm a bit confused about the settings of EF in regard to weather engine (please read carefuly). 1. REX Sky Force 3D has a build in Weather engine which (as we know from REX themselves), is based on standard API, thus not beeing that great. Those having 3rd party weather engines should use those instead. The option can be found under Settings -> Engine -> Enable REX Sky Force Weather Engine and it should be turned off if you use another weather engine. 2. REX Environment Force has under Automated Environment Controls also a setting called Enable real-time weather data read. I thought that this set…

Just wondering if there's any further news on this....I've been watching and sen nothing for awhile. I have a new machine and waiting to download and install once there's a fix. Thanks. Dave

... to the recently published REX Environment Force? Many of us are using ASP4 weather + SF3D/ASCA or other textures and shader mods (EnvShade, PTA, TS, ...). Now EF is available. For me it seems very likely that HiFi will come up with related products. With ASCA they were the first who introduced fully dynamic sky textures. Other developers followed soon to provide more and more dynamic and weather dependent environment.. My guess, we will get a surprising product from Hifi this year. Speculations/Expectations opened ...

Just wondering if anyone has found a settings configuration that helps alleviate the "planes" of visibility that are rendered when at a high airport (ie SEQM). If visibility isn't full, the engine displays the fog/cloud in a way that is somewhat variable and spoils the effect. It's definitely a limitation of the engine/sim, so am looking for anyone who might have tweaked it to a more preferable appearance?

Odd issue I'm experiencing, and wondering if anyone else has had the same problem and/or knows how to fix or what to check. Normal FlyBy camera behavior has the aircraft as the central focal point of the camera, i.e. it tracks the aircraft during the flyby. However, occasionally (I cannot reproduce it on demand) something changes and the central focal point is no longer the aircraft. It appears located above and behind the aircraft. The result is that when shifting to FlyBy view, the camera moves in the direction of the aircraft, but the aircraft is offset from center, and the aircraft itself moves out of frame. This happens with and without ChasePlane running. …

Hello gentlemen. Wanted to share with you progress on the modeling front for this project. It's been 7 month now of ongoing passionate labor, Real life diversions resulting in a project freeze then reignited passion and countless hours of needless obsession about small details. a 4th redo for the exterior model was in order ! The Honda is now textured and exported in P3D! Please have a look at these screen grabs and let me know your feedback. Keeping in mind that this is a WIP and will be improved upon religiously.. 2017-12-10_1-11-6-15 by marwangharib3 gharib, on Flickr 2017-12-10_1-5-43-268 by marwangharib3 gharib, on Flickr 2017-12-10…

Hello guys, up to this point I did not find any P3D v4.5 Compatibility List. I propose this thread to list the known Add-On's that are compatible with P3D v4.5.

Hello I tried to get duetdisplay running on P3D V4.4 in order to get the Flight1 GTN750 running but the touch screen does not work in P3D V4.4. Every other program I tried worked. I can arrange me using it with the mouse but would of course prefer touch screen. The touch screen works up until loading scenario.Did anybody have a clou what the problem could be? Any help would bei much appriciated. Thanks. Regards Robert

FSFX vs ENVDIR: Which has better special effects for the PMDG 737 and 747? I have both currently with the special effects setting on ENVDIR turned off, but I'm wondering if I should uninstall the FSFX packages in favor of just running ENVDIR, or if the FSFX immersion packages really are better.

I love my hobby but it does take a bit of work and the start up can be daunting: This is what I run and usually in this order ASP4, SF, EV, RTSS , FFTF, ProATX, VACARS, simbrief downloader, then P3D which also loads with it: UTL, VFX central, Chaseplane. It is looking good but no wonder developers struggle out the gate with issues something must clash Darcy

Hi, I just have bought the new ORBX True Earth Great Britain for P3D, very nice product but an insane FPS killer. I have an i7 with the RTX 2080 and 32 GB RAM, and it's impossible to fly over London. I got between 7 to 17 FPS what makes impossible to fly. Loading time up to 6 minutes, I thought my PC was blocked due to it stops 3 minutes in 6%. I also own True Earth Netherlands, I have no problem to move it at 45 FPS in Amsterdam airport. Does anybody have the same problem in FPS or loading times? Thanks!

since the 4.5 release almost every post in this forum is negative. I haven't ugraded yet to 4.5(waiting for hotfix) but this week i re-installed Win10 and FSX SE on a new 2019 Alienware Desktop with all my $$$$$$$Payware ADDONS and FSX SE runs Fast and Smooth maxed out with over 60-100FPS..NO Blurries/NO fps issues/ NO crashes/ etc. I'm having a great time with good old FSX SE which Dovetail did an amazing job in tweaking for modern pc's. Will also install P3Dv4.5 after hotfix release👍

Hi I am looking for an Airplane where I can fly in the mountains with the G1000 Glass Cockpit. At the moment I am using the Carenado C172SP SKYHAWK G1000, but if I start at a high altitude Airport at 7000 ft and have to climb at 120000 ft it often very "lame". I am looking for a small, but a little bit faster Airplane... How about the DA62 from http://vertxsim.com? Or do you have other recommendations? Greetings Enrico

Just a quick question I have not seen discussed elsewhere: does v4.5 offer any improvements on the autogen issue, where autogen disappears after long flights and then slowly "pops back"?
