The Prepar3d Forum

Hello, still on p3d v4.4 here. I deleted my prepar3d.cfg file to let it rebuild and now for some reason the key assigned to "View (Snap to fixed view)" which in the past has snapped the view to centered behind my aircraft, is now snapping to a centered view at the front of my aircraft, ie 180-degrees from where it should be. ANyone else experience this? I've never seen it before and to my knowledge I haven't changed anything else other than installing the latest FSLabs patch. For clarity, I speaking of the view I would expect a lot of us use for taxiing...used to be the Del button by default until P3D wouldn't allow that binding. Thanks for any help. Dav…

Hi, I could not use bank angle shortcut of Prepar3d via FMC setup. I am sure the trial shortcuts does not coincide with any other one. Is there anyone who succeeded to use bank angle shortcut of FMC>PMDG Setups>Options>Key Commands ? Best Regards, Kerim Kurtulmus

Hi everyone, after some time using P3D I have decided to look into the audio options in order to separate some of the sounds in a more realistic way. However, the only options available are the four volumes (Engine, Cockpit, Environment, Voice) with no way to separate any of the first three outputs from each other. The Idea is to obtain the engines sound coming from the main speakers (with bass Sub) and the cabin sound from a more modest output situated the above overhead panel so to emulate the cockpit ambiance. Again in the audio mixer, one can only isolate Voice Capture (mostly not used as we tend to rely on FS2crew and external ATC) "Voice Playback" and "Primary Play…

Hey guys Just having an issue with Tomato shade. I cant seem to select the profile in Reflection Maker for the QW787. I keep getting the message "The selected profile was not saved for the currently selected aircraft model" Using P3d 4.5 and have also updated the QW787 and tomato shade.

I have all the sudden without touching anything on my settings or PC have lost all ability to have input with my Thrustmaster Rudder pedals and P3dv4.5. I am able to re-calibrate and save through the P3d settings but no response is the SIM and they are operating correctly inside the device and printer menu. Does anyone have a good starting point to resolve this. I have tried to re-calibrate with no luck. Thanks

Not sure how it happened or exactly when but the default AI aircraft almost disappeared! Every once in a while there I'll see AI aircraft but despite the fact I have commercial AI up to 80% I almost never see them, whereas in the past density correlated w/ the slider setting. I'm still waiting to move to v4.x when I pick up parts for a new build but so far my 3930K still runs well so it could be a ways out. Thoughts on how to restore AI aircraft?

Hi! I am writing because I have a problem with Prepar3D. I have FS Global + OrbX FTX (with Europe and America LC). In these regions, Europe and America, no problem with ground textures, but in other regions (Africa, Asia, Oceania) ground shows with tiles / squares. If I disable FS Global and OrbX FTX in Scenery Library the problem persists. Here you can see 3 pictures showing the problem: https://imgur.com/a/tCTZLj1 I have created new Shaders, scenery.cfg and terrain.cfg, but these are not related to the problem. The order in the scenery library is correct: -Airports -FTX Global Libs -FTX Global openLC Regions -FTX Globa…

This only seems to happen if I have Traffic enabled - commerical jets, GA, road cars, boats etc, but mostly commercial jets it would seem. It's a shame to have to turn this stuff off as it so adds to the immersion factor. Any ideas how to ease the big stutter? Sim otherwise runs very smooth.

Hi, everything was working fine, until I deleted my shader files to fix dark cloud colours when I noticed that I had no 3D textures at the airports, while lacking any panels as well as missing textures in my aircraft. I use ORBX global and vector, the world scenery is fine, the trouble is at the airports. I just have a photoscenic map of the ground, and nothing else. thanks, bill

Hi I get a CLR.dll crash when changing settings in flight after upgrading to v4.5 Any ideas on a fix? Thanks, Ollie

https://www.alpha-india.net/2018/11/13/aig-ai-manager-one-click-installer/ As many of you know, Alpha India Group is a central clearinghouse for freeware AI models, liveries and flightplans. Up until now, even with AI Flight Planner, the initial setup of freeware AI is a never-ending exercise in tedium. AIG has now announced an update to its AIG AI Manager app that will automatically find and install all models and paints for any official AIG flightplan. It is similar in concept to the recently released MAIW Matrix universal installer for military freeware AI. The app is presently in testing and will eventually be released as an open beta. Stay tuned and fo…

This one's got me stumped. It's rare enough that I can't discern a pattern to it. I'll be on takeoff, usually in something big by PMDG but sometimes with the QW787 or something smaller like the Flysimware Falcon 50. As I rotate after VR, the nose instantly pops back down to the runway. I don't think it's a control issue (either in-sim or physical hardware), because if I'm at 10 degrees up, I'll go from 10 to back on the runway instantly, with no in-between. It does this over and over again until I run off the end of the runway. Usually if I quit the sim and restart the problem goes away, but that gets really annoying after spending 45 minutes getting a 747 ready to fly. …

A while back, probably as far back as FS2004, you could zoom the the exterior view of the plane separately from the background world. It made for really nice sharp images for screen captures as you could zoom the background out will zooming in closer to the plane, where as now the closer you get to the exterior plane view the fuzzier the background becomes since they're zooming in-sync. I really have no desire for a whole bunch of other camera features--I only care about this particular feature. Ideas? Thanks!

I have the latest FlyTampa VHHX but I have jumped thru hoops the last few days and I cannot get aircraft to park at the sode jetways..they are all out in the parking area. I have the folders inside the 12bPilot for the xml and the simobjects but don't know what else to do. The planes except the 707-320 have exits in the cfg and the exit.ai in each of the aircraft folders. warmest and bestest to every one. Have win10 and p3dv4.5. BobM.

Hi guys, Recently I have reinstalled the 4.2 version, and I realized that a lot of menus won't work on 4.2, such as ProATC, GSX, Active Sky, etc. They will show up but then close immediately... I searched online but looks like there are lots of users also had this problem back to few months ago. Just want to know has this problem been resolved? Or is there any way to prevent this problem? Thanks.

hello i am trying to install the latest update for the pmdg 747-400 in the operations centre but it wont seem to do it just stays on the black screen that pops up saying fetching available product information for p3d

I've realized that PMDGs 747 a/c with new PBR textures show antialiasing issues with horizontal lines. According to some posts in the new PMDG forum it seems that SparseGridSuperSampling (Nvidia Inspector) does help indeed. I have now 4xSGSS set in NVI and PBR textures look much better now. Not sure if this also applies to PBR at airport scenery.

Used to be the A36, but gone now. Does it matter which you load with a scenario ? Cheers.

I just bought orbx ftx England and when i tried to install it the installer couldn't find any option at please select the version to install. here is the screenshot http://prntscr.com/nefiq6 What should I do now? I have orbx global and My libraries are updated. Any help will be higly appreciated :)

My standard practice and test flights were always Manchester to Dublin and back. Nice and short, but enough to prove any changes I've made in the sim or my cockpit, and generally enjoyable, especially for the views to the left over Snowdonia. But the one I used, Aerosoft EIDW, looks terrible in P3D4. I tried the Eiresim one too, and that's even worse. I don't understand why a popular capital Western European capital still does not have an sim airport updated to suit P3D4. All the other capitals seem covered. (Waiting also for many eastern capitals of course -- Helsinki, the Baltic States etc. But it takes be a lot longer to get to those! 😉 ). Any ideas plea…

As I couldn't find a support forum for TomatoShade, perhaps I overlooked it, I am posting my question here. I up to now have been a PTA user, but I now rather switch to Tomatoshade, From within PTA I restored P3Dv4.4.'s original shaders and just to make sure that everything really was back to their originals I uninstalled and reinstalled P3D's client and content modules. However, when I then fire up Tomatoshade I am getting an error message "Something went wrong during initialization"". Do any of you have an idea what might be going wrong here and how to fix thi Thanks Later: Problems are resolved. By uninstalling/reinstalling content and client modules of…
