I did my first flight into klas and I’m not seeing the ILS into 26L. Anyone else seeing this or do you know what could cause this?

Why can't P3D come with a flashlight for cold and dark cockpits? Fumbling around in the dark for the battery switch, then dome light is annoying and actually prevents me from doing more night flights. I know it's silly and stupid, but what pilot do you know who doesn't carry a flashlight of some sort in real life?

Hello, I wasn't sure to post this: I have suddenly lost the ability to use my short cut commands in prepare3d v4.5 . I am not 100% sure but it might be after I upgraded FSUICP. Has anyone experienced this issue. I have tried rebuilding my Prepar3d.CFG but that didn't work. It is driving me nuts. Thank you for taking the time to read this Paul

Hey folks - so starting to get back in to VR flying again and having some weird issues. I first started with Flyinside - but noticed alot of graphic artifacts and things on my vive pro, lines through cockpit ect. So I decided to try native VR in p3d and while performance seemed better, the image when looking around seems wobbly or almost like looking at an image reflected on water and then dropping a rock through it so the water gets disturbed. Are there any settings I can try and change or is this just how native VR is as I've never tried it before?

Is it my imagination or are scenery and aircraft addons not coming on as quickly as they did for FSX when it was released? Looking for military airfields and aircraft and ai. Orbx seems to be the only ones. Having said that there are a lot of FSX aircraft and sceneries that do work well in P3Dv4. This morning I dusted off my old SDB Military Air Bases and they all appear to work well in P3Dv4. Both Whiteman AFB (KSZL) and Barksdale AFB (KBAD) have working ai B-2s and B-52s and tankers. Although the ai C-130s have no wheels under them. But they are so low it's hardly noticeable anyway. But nothing specifically for P3Dv4 in the way of military bases or a…

I thought I read that this was complete or near complete. I was going to post on their site but I don't have access to their forum. I've seen some pics of the city and Midway that look great, but no ORD pics. Just thought I would check to see if there was any additional info. Thanks

(5 minutes out of Southhampton EGHI) After i deleted my shaders folder because my cloud textures were bugged, this began to happen, i dont know how to fix it, i deleted my shaders in my appdata, and my scenery.cfg in programdata

I am having trouble getting the Texture Filtering and Texture Resolution settings to maintain the values I have saved them at - they keep automatically changing to other settings when I load P3D at another time. I have saved and re-saved many times but my settings keep getting changed - why - can someone help me? https://photos.app.goo.gl/7FVaxWH5FjffNPaG9

So I was on the GSX forum and stumbled across this thread where Umberto posted a test version of bglmanx64.dll to fix the infamous NTDLL crash when approaching Canada from the east (and possibly other locales). I don't think I've seen a thread about it here, so I thought I'd share so we can get more test cases going. I'm eager to try it out on a transatlantic flight as soon as I have a moment today.

Noticed this today. Anyone else understand what is happening here. If I fire up P3D4.4 as normal and go flying, when I check Taskman it shows all 12 cores on my PC being used nicely, but core0 is at 100% usage all the time. The rest are churning along between 20 and 50%. Yet if I go into the CPU affinity settings and tell it not to use core0, then core0 as expected stops being hammered at 100%, and the 100% hammering does not transfer to another core. However, if I then within the same sim session I re-enable core0 for P3D, core0 now acts just like all the others, jogging along nicely at 20-50% exactly like all the other cores. The 100% hammering is gone, y…

Just started having issues with keyboard commands not working consistently. Particularly for GPS control. Anyoneelse run into this? Danny P3D4.2, windows 10

Below is a clip I uploaded back when I was still using FSX with DX10SF and AS2012 waves. To me this water still looks very realistic and I wish there was a way to get the same kind of water and effects in P3D but so far I haven't managed to so was wondering if anyone else in here has any tips? Currently I have the water detail in P3D set to the far right and I'm also using ENVTEX and PTA with one of the presets provided by the developers of ENVTEX called Maxime Natural. In ENVTEX I'm using Set 2 for all water textures and Set 1 for the waves. Haven't had the time to play around testing all of the different options so maybe the real gem is yet to be found in ther…

I know with all VR function in P3D V4 many might have stop using Track IR , but I still find the need to use my track ir again on certain flights . For those using Track IR have you notice any improvement? What have you done to make your Track IR experience more enjoyable ?

Can someone tell me what the runway configuration is for the old version of ORD from FSDT? I am tired of waiting on the new one to be released and want to start flying into Chicago. I know the runways are outdated and wanted to know how that would work with regards to flying online with ATC and how the runways would show up in my MCDU. So for example, if I was given 27R to land, would that show up as 27L or 27R in my MCDU (the old 27R is now 27L with the current config). Obviously the newest runways wouldn't show up in the sim, but my guess is that they would possibly show up in my MCDU. Just curious as to how that would work. Thanks

Now it's been out a short while, what is the overall prognosis? I saw comments about 4.5 delivering lower FPS. Also I need to ensure it's running well with PTA, RexSkyForce3D, EnvDir, RTSS. Now with Rex Environment Force about to launch, there are reasons to want to upgrade. So, anyone care to tell me why I should stick with 4.4 for the time being?

Yuk. Keep it. Overdone. Only goods really close up. Needs 4xSGSS to get rid of the dripping oil effect, and that reduces my FPS from 60 to 25 fps in the PMDG... if there are any 3D clouds around. I'll call it now ..... they won't be able to fix this. Please give us a non-PBR alternative set of textures, or I for one will be going back to 4.3

Hi all, 737 Ng PFD scales would flash for 10 seconds if deviation is within ANP bar limits for 10 continuous seconds. I could not see the same result in Prepar3D. Has anyone tried the same and could see the amber flash ? Just cruiosity 🙂 Best Regards Kerim Kurtulmus

hi all in general i'm finding that the radio stack/ap digits for me could be brighter/more luminous. is there a way to do this? thanks garry

I am curious to which ATC Addon everyone is using? I am currently using ProAtc and I am struggling to get it to do what I was hoping for in GA aircraft. Guess it’s more geared for Airlines.

Hi I am mostly flying with a cessna 172 on prepar3d V4. Now I would like to purchase a fast GA Plane, which is easy to fly. I do not have the time to study hours manuals, therefore I look for a fast ga plane, which is easy to fly in the evening for half an hour. I am ready to read also good manuals, which really help to understand starting/flying the plane. Do you have any suggestions of a plane suitable for these requriements? Thanks! Beaureard

Hi All Just a quick rant about threads without a conclusion 😉 this doesn’t just apply to Avsim but I thought I’d post here as it’s probably the most used site. It’s very frustrating when a poster starts a topic about a problem with x,y or z and after reading the thread the op just either ends the thread with “problem solved” with no clue as to how or with no comment at all! However a problem is solved, please please post the solution, it is always going to help someone out there. There is nothing more frustrating than reading a long thread about a problem, especially if it’s a problem that I have, and getting to the end with no resolution 😡 Anyway, ran…

Dumb question, but I keep reading about people wanting 30hz vs. 60hz but I am not sure what the difference would be when running 4.1. My monitor specs are below and can handle 60hz but I am not sure why I should (or why people say) to go to 30. Can someone give me the run down? My specs are below. Win10, Gigabyte Aorus Z270x Gaming 5, LGA 1151, Intel 7th Gen Core i7 7700K (4.7GHz Overclock) Quad Core, Corsair Hydro Series H60 Liquid Cooling, 16GB G.Skill DDR4 SDRAM 2400MHz, 6GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060, PCI Express 3.0, 750 Watt Corsair RM Series Power Supply, 500GB Samsung EVO 850 Solid State Drive (SSD) Dell 34" Curved monitor U3415W (specs below). …

Hi guys, I have a question about returning P3d v4.5 back to the default sim using the repair option. Does that mean I have to reinstall all of my non xml scenery again manually? Thanks in advance, don235

I see that CaptainSim has released a beta version of there 777 for P3Dv4. This came a surprise as PMDG has one of the best 777 model out right now and the community is not hurting for a 777, especially a pay version beta. If anything I figured CS would have released their 767 for P3Dv4. What is it about the 767 that developers keep avoiding? Is there some kind of gentleman's agreement with Level-D or something? Everyone knows the community is hurting for a quality 767 yet no one is in a rush to produce one. In my opinion a 767 would be a huge money maker to the developer who releases one. From reading the Level-D forums I don't see it ever being updated. I'm still waiting…
