Lately, I'm seeing people mentioning this free software a lot, especially in Facebook groups (P3D v4,...). They are claiming it helps with the CPU1 100% utilization issue and as a result, it minimizes stuttering. I did try it, can't say it did anything noticeable, Core 0 was still at 100% but I didn't use it for more than 5 minutes, so not very credible results. Does anybody use it or heard about it before? Apparently, it does something with CPU parking and optimizes CPU performance. I already have Process Lasso but I'm not using it because it actually made things worse on my end - but since it has so many options and settings it's not very hard to enable something that i…

AAL69 was connected as a B727 on vatsim, i set my default model to a 737-700, even when the FLAI aircraft is installed, it will just not work, only if the airline and the plane are installed.

'Environment Force breaks the paradigm as no other weather, texture, environment or shader enhancer on the market is able to accomplish full living environment control in real-time, on-the-fly (in-sim) while giving you instant visual feedback! In the past all these elements had to be modified outside of the simulator. Environment Force allows a new and different approach to the environmental factors that cannot be accomplished any other way, providing full immersion'. Not sure if this is a shader utility , a weather utility or a texture utility, but it sounds like its all of them combined. Haven't read any more details but it sounds good

Hi, I was desperately looking for a good tutorial explaining the interception of an NDB radial to fly a NDB approach on a runway. For example. I'm flying heading 360°. The NDB needle of my RMI is pointing 90° to the right at that moment. The runway is not aligned parallel to my flight course (360°). How do I find the correct interception angle flying to the NDB to continue my approach to the runway? I would like to do this with the instruments of an airbus a320 or 738. Hopefully my explanation was understandable. Thx! Best regards Andi

As the title say, i find my P3D at night to be very light. I use PTA AS16 and ASCA, but it feels like nothing helps.. It doesnt look realistic.. Hope a p3d genious can help me get a better sim, thanks in advance http://imgur.com/a/1XY84 http://imgur.com/a/dEWUr

I watched numerous P3D tuning guides (I know, waste of time, but I did) on Youtube and I always click on "this is my settings" links on forums. To my surprise pretty much nobody has "Buildings receive shadows" option ticked in the Lighting section in Options. To me, this option makes quite a difference. Without it, the buildings are really bright and pop out like overly bleached teeth or something. With this option ticked the scenery looks much more natural, the buildings blend with the environment much better in my opinion. So, do you use this option and if not, why? Just something I was wondering about for quite some time...

Hi, Does anyone know where to get good quality RPLL profile for GSXL2 SODE? That one that is located on FSDT website has many jetway bridges missing. Your help would be much appreciated. Thanks Dmitriy

I have a very common problem since yesterday. And always comes this error message she screenshot. No matter what I do, when I completely shut down the computer and reboot the error comes even if I start P3D. Can close the windows and the simulator will run without errors and with all addons. Nevertheless, I ask what that may be, because if I reboot or reboot it should be fixed with it. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1eZZezMA5501mNIQA_cY2F7oVL06un-pq/view?usp=sharing Best Torsten

Members 2 89 posts Hi, I'm currently running a small network (with a router, not P2P) with FSX:SE loaded on the H: partition on my server PC (FSX CD version was originally on C:) plus loads of Orbx, with other software such as AS16, AH2, PFPX, Plan-G etc on the C: drive of my networked client PC. It's all been pretty stable, and SimConnect has been behaving itself for a few years now and I've been really enjoying AH2. I'm well into the planning stage of making the big leap forward to use P3Dv4 and would like some appraisal/criticism of what I'm planning. My Plan A (for want of a better title, armageddon didn't seem right) is to attempt at keepin…

I was buying Phoenix and decided to click on Quito and was able to purchse it. I've just installed it - 359MB

Does anyone know when UTL will release an update that will have current liveries and current parking spots at airports? Thanks

Got an e-mail from REX this morning with lots of info about this upcoming product, so I went to their site too and read about all the new features. Weather for P3Dv4+ has been taken several steps further again 😀 Read for yourselves : http://www.rexsimulations.com/envforce.html Best of it : it will work with all weather engines !

The Planes just turn white when I apply any preset in the reflection maker application. http://prntscr.com/ko1vap http://prntscr.com/ko1w50 http://prntscr.com/ko1w8b http://prntscr.com/ko1wbu Anyone else have this issue or know how to fix it? Thanks

For the past few weeks, i've been battling performance issues on my system within P3D. On payware sceneries, I would only get less than 30FPS in VC mode for my PMDG aircrafts. It's a problem because it affects my flight during approach where everything gets choppy and almost impossible to land smoothly. I've tried rebuilding my config file, and even that doesn't change my FPS count. I've used NVIDIA inspector before, but reset it back to default in order to cross off one potential element to all this. In the air, it's a different story, but on the ground on custom airports, it's bad enough where taxing properly is off the books. Here are the settings that I've used t…

I know it is a little bit late but I found a solution for this problem. The only thing you need to do when you use a programm for airport lightning is to delete the default p3d light textures of the airports

Hello all - I cant seem to find any threads on this subject. By default I feel it has to get way too dark for the lights to finally come on. It would be nice if the lights could be adjusted to come on earlier in the evening & go off later in the morning. Any insight appreciated. Thanks! Tom

Well, I made the upgrade to V4.5 from V4.4 and ended up with messed up graphics. A mixture of night and day graphics, just plain black graphics, water where it shouldn't be, etc. I have deleted shaders, updated computer graphics card, reloaded client and deleted p3d.cfg. No change in poor graphics. I have a Titan X graphics card. Photo here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/y5z39zmqatdiefw/Colors.JPG?dl=0 Should I revert back to V4.4?

I've had a relative degree of success displaying P3D4.4 flights using a 3D monitor and using RealD glasses rather than a VR headset though that option also works too. I wondered if other users had similar positive or negative experiences too as I see little about the use of 3D monitors in people's rigs.

Hi all, I'm using 4.4 but still have problems with night lighting (FTX Lights). It's loading in way too slow, which causes me to see it popping in at lower altitudes. In the picture you can see what I mean, there's way too few night lights. Is there a setting which causes it to load in faster? I have 0 problems with regular texture loading.

Hi all, I need below files (I mean the content) for P3Dv4.5 in order to use 2 PCs. I have them already for FSX but as far as I heard , P3Dv4.5 needs other ones/content to operate. I'd appreciate if you can share these files * Simconnect.xml * Simconnect.cfg * Simconnect.ini Thanks in advance, Br, Hakan

Has anyone actually installed the recently released new version of UTL 1.2.0.0 ? I see it provides updated schedules but may have some issues with certain airlines. They also imply the long awaited repaints are coming soon in batches? Joe

I noticed at every location I go I have haze off in the distance. I cleared my shader and weather and I still get the same results. I have up my EXP=10, increased autogen/scenery draw distance, differnt times and seasons, etc. I only use Envtex and ActiveSky. AS is not on and I clear the weather locally. I even rebuilt my P3D.CFG . Any suggestions? Image 1 Image 2

should i upgrade to 4.5 or wait for HF?

What do I need in order to move my eye view around the cockpit as in this video? Is one system better than others? And what does it cost to add this functionality?
