  5. This was working perfect in 4.4, and now with 4.5 it doesn't seem to work correctly any more. I set a route in the GTN750, turn the AP on and hit NAV and the plane totally ignores it and just continues in the previous direction. I've spent some time on this and really can't see that I'm doing anything wrong, and it was working great in 4.4. Has anyone else got the NAV following a route in 4.5?

  6. Hi All, I am a relative newbie to flightsim and a really new to P3D. I purchased V4.4 about 6 months ago and recently upgraded to v4.5. I was hoping someone could help me determine why I see Green and Blue Stripes on runways when landing and taxiing. Also, pink stripes in the sky. They are not alway there but more often than not. I had hoped that v4.5 might correct this, but no luck. I have updated the driver for my 1050I video driver, but no luck. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Kevin

    I have heard the update mentioned but you know me, I do not pay attention to all threads, so I did not realize 4.5 has been in release almost a month. I am copying from the zip now, and bless Lockheed Martin for not charging for the upgrade. I am looking forward most to the new city night lighting, as I would usually run Xplane11 for night flights. Whatever other surprises there are I am sure I will be happy with, P3D has never been a disappointment to fly, this morning on my final run of 4.4 I had a wonderful ultralight flight from Angwin in the Napa Valley down to Napa airport in my Columban Cri Cri, an ultralight I heartily recommend, since such slow movers are rare…

    First, I want to make this clear, I wish REX well with the release of their latest product! However, as an avid Flt Sim consumer, I’m starting to grow frustrated at the multiple products required to generate a realistic atmosphere. Today, I’m running 3 separate programs: AS16 Wx Engine SF3D Clouds/Environment ASCA/ENVTEX/ENSHADE Sky Textures/Environment At this time, I don’t feel like adding a 4th. I really wish we could get a single, simple and inclusive weather program; I’d love to launch one app and have it manipulate…

  12. I have downloaded the 3 Hawaiian Airport packages by George Keogh here and they are amazing quality, however Package 2 crashes P3D v4 whenever it loads up, and I'm thinking that it has to do with some old FS9 models being used. The problem is I don't know exactly which files to remove/disable in order to fix this. Package 2 adds airports to Oahu. It could be using some FS9 ship models in that area. Does anyone know the quickest and most efficient way to see exactly which files are incompatible with P3D v4 so that we can remove them and fly the sim again? For anyone that hasn't done so, and loves flying in the Hawaiian region, this package is a must have. Simply beautiful …

    Hello My friend has a problem here with effects in P3D. They are displayed as rectangles from the distance. If you zoom in, they look quite normal but have no luminosity. I already have client and content reinstalled but that did not help !! Do not know what that may be because he told me that it was all normal just days ago.

    Hi there, So I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I'm curious in the experience that people have that VrInsights hardware, because their Boeing MCP looks word not allowed good and I'm thinking of buying it. But since it's 500$ it's not just a purchase I wanna make without any tips/help. I had their Multi Switch Panel, but after many headaches I returned it. But on the Linda forums here they told me that that one is pretty old and could cause some problem. But what about the "new" Boeing MCP? Is it any good? The ones I'm looking at : https://www.aerosoft.com/en/hardware/flight-simulation/instruments/502/vrinsight-mcp-combo-boei…

    I prefer to fly low and slow....5-7k altitude,and like realistic scenery.I just added an EVGA 1080Ti to my hardware in the hopes of boosting reality.For the 500 dollar investment, it didn't seem to make as huge an impact as I was hoping for. I have been using UTX/USA for my scenery and was wondering if anybody has switched from UTX to ORBX and if it made a significant difference. ORBX seems to be rather costly.Does it ever go "on sale"? Thanks for any input... Skip D
