The Prepar3d Forum

Hi all- Posted this over at FSDT but no solution so thought I'd try here. I Installed KLAS and ran the LiveUpdate and rebooted. I set up a flight with my Falcon50 from KLAS > KSFO Started P3D 4.5 and no traffic at KLAS anywhere. Moved over to KSFO to check there and the airport is full. I'm running AIG OCI and have had zero problems with that. If I uncheck FSDT KLAX and use just the P3D default airport, it's full. What's running at KLAS that is preventing AI from showing up? Thanks, Mark

i have also posted this on the maddog forum, but was wondering if anyone here has this problem. after updating to 4.5 and updating the maddog with the incremental 4.5 updates, i now have an issue with the overhead panel. the 2 knobs for overhead lighting have disappeared. anyone else seeing this?

The title says it all. It was already the best but now, there is no other plane that is close, IMO. Just amazing!! Now I just have to get used to coming back to P3D from mostly flying XPlane. Have to get used to the 'cartoon-like' look of P3D again. But this plane is just too amazing to not fly!!!!

I've been thinking about this for awhile now. I've purchased over the years numerous airports from various developers to enhance my simming experience. I have many from Orbx, FSDT, Fly Tampa, Flightbeam, LatinVFR along with a handful of others. They're all very good, and I'm not complaining about them at all. So what's the problem? I have only so much available time to enjoy all these, and how do you determine if you're getting good usage value? I have enough payware airports where I may only fly into them once a year, or maybe not even that if I'm distracted into buying the latest offerings. If I'm not flying into them, than that makes me an airport collector does…

good evening someone can help me because the airport lights look very intense and large in p3d4.5 annex image .https://ibb.co/DrckzK4 I appreciate the help

Good day. I use a 4K monitor and have been experimenting with the "Brightness, Bloom and Saturation" settings in P3D. I was just wondering what settings are being used in the community and the reasons behind using those settings...just to get an idea where to start. Regards.

Does anyone know if that odd ground lighting at night has been fixed? I thought I read that it was but can't seem to find a patch or update. Thanks!

Hello, I've problems with the Elevation in Bonaire (TNCB) in P3Dv4.5 User Aircraft: everything ok AI already at TNCB: everything ok (Start normal) Landing AI: sinks below the runway Any Idea? I have no other ADE's installed (only the default one), checked ORBX Vector, checked Bonaire Alpha and Bravo Folder. FS Global Ultimate Mesh, P3D Thanks Urmel

Has this changed or am dealing with corrupt sound files after upgrade from 4.3? What I'm getting with 4.4 is what sounds like an engine spool up whenever I change views while sitting on a runway with throttles in the idle position. Heck, Ill get the sound of spool down when I change views with the throttles a little past idle. I've never had this 'issue' with any previous Prepared or FSX build. This happens with default aircraft and the PMDG 747 (all aircraft I've used with 4.4).. -Ken

Hi, Firstly, I know this scenery isn't optimized for P3D but I would appreciate any direction if anyone else has seen this or experienced it So, from far away all the custom apron, taxiway and runway textures are visible. As we get closer some texture detail start to disappear! Approaching the level of the aircraft on the ground they have all disappeared. Seem to be 'replaced' by other or default texture. Any advice or help with this will be appreciated. All other Bali X textures of both airport and surrounding area remain custom and look terrific! Cheers, Don Dormehl

Hello, today I have updated my nvidia drivers from 390.6 to 425.31. Then I tried to launch p3d and it didn’t work so I tried to uninstall it but p3d was still freezing on the home screen (that one where you can choose the aircraft, the airport,...). I tried to delete the generated files, the app data files, the P3D v4 Files/Add-ons and the program data. It still doesn’t work. Any advice would be appreciated

Hello, had to uninstall FSLabs for some issues but after i load a flight the horizon and the sky looks very terrible. Very bad graphics completely bluish, very bad graphics. i deleted p3d cfg file and shaders bu no solution. Still the same. Can anyone help ,e please to solve this issue. Before that everything was more than perfect. i don’t know how I could insert attachment Geo

Hello, I recently purchased the QW's 787 but I am having a difficult time programming the flap axis control using the registered version of FSUIPC that I am familiar with. I did a search and didn't find much so it's probably on my end but I have not found the culprit yet. The issue I am having is if I assign the flap axis to FSUIPC and calibrate that axis accordingly it ends up being an all or nothing affair. In other words if I assign the flap axis to lever on my Saitek Throttle or GF TQ6 and then cycle it through it's range of motion the flap lever in the virtual cockpit will not move at first but, you can hear it cycling through the steps/settings, once my hard…

Forgive me for not posting this question on the Leonardo forums. What is required to get the Cabin Crew Comms configured so I don't see the "INT/PA SYSTEM NOT SET CORRECTLY" message. You know: when right clicking on the Attendant Call button. I've punched around on the audio panel with no luck. I searched the Google and found nothing. Inconceivable!

Per P3D's website, I'll use only Client PCs to support outside scenery views. With that in mind, is there a compelling reason to load 3rd Party Scenery on the P3D Pro Plus Host PC? Thanks.

I'm quite new to P3D, but I thought I could only use 1 shader mod prog at a time with the sim. Now I find this which seems to be saying I can use TomatoShade with ReShade at the same time. Is this correct? Detailed in this (far too slow) instructional video. Anyone understand what is going on?

Hello! I've just purchased Citation Mustang. I installed it in P3d 4.5 but I have noticed it is a framerate killer. Expecially in USA territory, also at 35.000 ft. It depends on something inside the cockpit. I deactivated inset map of pilot PFD, i disabled Mipmap Vc panel, and I disabled also co-pilot PFD. But framerate is still around 10-15 fps. In Europe, with airport add-ons installed, framerate is definitely better. What shall I do? Thank you.

Hi All, I just did an MS Win10 software update and have discovered when trying P3dV4 afterwards, that the Keys from my Keyboard refuse to work. However, keys sent through my controls (TM Warthog) go to the sim just fine. I only use my KB in Pred3dV4 for occasional items such as for changing the sim rate and pausing the sim etc. So keys such as R & P don not appear to be seen by the sim. I know that these can also be selected from the in game top bar but it is much more convenient to just tap a key occasionally. I have a separate PC for running FSX which also had the software upgrades and this KB problem is not apparent. If anyone can shed any light on …

Hi, I’ve recently learnt of FSCAI and how it can be used alongside CCP to create enemy combatants in P3D. I was struggling to get my head round the concept however and how to actually set up an aircraft which I could intercept and possibly dogfight with. Thanks, Bill

I have been using the FSX default B737-800 in P3D before version 4.4 and never got an overspeed while climbing at the set speed and rate of climb for this aircraft. Since updating to 4.4 and now 4.5 I get an overspeed warning and a high fuel consumption. I have checked the P3D cfg. file and the aircraft cfg. file and I can't find any reference to either of those. Any help would be appreciated.

Same airline, some of my settings are not being saved ie. units -Temp not saved, cabin memo logic not saved, v one and PR Mon not saved, arpt rwy limit not saved etc... Anyone else having similar issues? TIA

Hi whenever I run the utlive application it will say updating for about 7 sec then ctd. I have run it as admin reinstalled it excluded it from my antivirus but nothing works. I am very frustrated. Help is appreciated.

Hi everyone, I recently asked about whether I should get Prepar3d. I was blown away by the positive feedback it gets, but also that I would need a much better PC. So, quelle surprise, I'm asking about the specs that you guys recommend. I'd like to know: What processor: probably which i7? What graphics card? How much RAM? Most importantly, (this is the bit I always struggle with) can you recommend a specific motherboard? On a final note, I am looking for a budget build! Thanks, William.

https://fselite.net/news/prepar3d-v4-4-add-on-compatibility-update/ I'll be waiting to install 4.4 when some add-ons are ready.

I have noticed little pieces of terrain appearing in the air directly in front of my aircraft at times during final approach. This does not seem to be related to any particular scenery package, as I have seen it when flying in the ORBx TrueEarth GB South region and also PlayHorizon VFR Photographic Scenery regions. I have also noticed it at a handful of different airports (from different developers). Has anyone else noticed anything like this? For the record, I am using P3D v4.4.
