The Prepar3d Forum

I do not post here often but I have posted this in LM forums, FSDeveloper and ORBX forums but got no reply so far so though that maybe some good soul here might have a suggestion. This issue concerns a custom scenery of my home airport LGTT, Tatoi AB, that I made back in 2010. I recently updated it mainly for P3D but also to make it fit better with ORBX Global + Vector + OpenLC EU, which is the best combination so far for my country. Everything works great in FSXA, FSXSE and P3D 2.5. and used to work in 3.1. However, in 3.2 I have the problem that is shown on the following video: As you can see all the airport disappears under certain angles, mainly low angle …

Hi All - is it just me, or is LM's P3D.com site getting redirected/hijacked to https://www.elitecarbody.co.uk/?

Hi, I noticed that Cera helicopters are on sale for a good price and I really want a nice quality helicopter for P3Dv5.4 but the Cera helicopters all seem to be for older P3D versions. I'm mostly interested in the Bell 407 and Bell 412 as well as their other helicopters. People that have bought Cera helicopters are very enthusiastic about them and claim they are the best you can get for FSX/P3D, users even claim the flight physics are fairly close to the real thing so I really want to get one or two if they work in P3Dv5.4. Does anyone know if any of their aircraft will work in P3Dv5? Thanks

I bought Grand Island Sim's St. Johns (CYYT) scenery for P3D v5.4 and I am having trouble installing it. It is a auto installer, I ran the installer and it seem to get installed correctly but now when I start P3D I get the following error. Could not find scenery Grand Island Sim CYYT's local Scenery directory C:\uasers\NAME\Documents\Prepar3d v5 Add-ons\GIS_CYYT_P3Dv5\#\Scenery Then it asks me if I want to unload the area. What could be wrong? Edit: This is the scenery I am having trouble with simMarket: ST JOHNS P3D

Hope it will only need little time until the sceneries will be adapted.

I've spent during the last 2 months more in P3D than I ever spent in either XP or MFS 🙂 Even so, I am so glad and willing to continue to enrich my 5.4 install, and looking fwd for future v6 options, that I wouldn't mind profiting from any promotional sales ! OFC my To Buy list includes at the very top the QW 787 bundle, but that's unfortunately not on sale 😕 nor the PMDG 737 NG or the FSLabs Concorde 😞 bt if you can recommend any other products now in "Sales" please do !

Hello there. I recently came back to P3D after a long break. But I have encountered a problem in the sim. I have no road textures. No matter where I go in the world, it's the same I have the green "road skirting", but not the actual road textures. I am running ORBX Global, Vector, OpenLC etc. And I have reinstalled all of them + reinstalling the P3D Client, Scenery and Content parts. With no result. Do you guys have any suggestions for what I can do to fix this problem? I have inserted some pics which shows the problem, with 100% road traffic to clarify the problem. I am running P3D v5.3 Thank you so much in advance. Kind Regards …

Hi all, I have installed 3D Lights from Living Airports but can not get it to run. Or it just does not have an impact on my night scenery. So I ran the installer as admin and then ran the Windows Sart menu program to add the scenery to P3dv5. As it still didn't show up there, I added the scenery for Europe manually. But still I don't see any difference. I am using OrbX Global incl. LC and Vector and also I use Enshade/Envtext. I was reading, that in P3dv5 with Envtext, it's difficult to see the effect of 3d Lights. But I am seeing no effect at all! Therefore I am still having the ugly OrbX "lava" looking highways and other resedential areas in that glo…

Hi all, So far I had FPS limited within P3D at 30 FPS. Using Shift-Z, FPS=30 is shown. Now I was following the advise to limit FPS in Nvidia Control Panel instead of inside P3D. So I've set P3D to unlimited with VSync On. And in Nvidia I've set VSync to half refresh rate and max FPS to 30. But when I now start P3D and use Shift-Z I see FPS=10! Is this maybe, because I am using 3 monitors/projectors and due to the setting now done in Nvidia this value is per monitor?? Thanks, Michael

I have P3Dv5.4 and on the main P3D screen when I click options, go to the Add-ons section, disable any add-ons and click Ok. If I go back to the Options menu and back to the Add-ons section, everything I disabled is enabled again. It won't let me disable anything. I'm not sure how to fix this. This just started happening and I would greatly appreciate anyone's help. Thanks

I've been flying the very nice Aerosoft DC-8-50 and finally got tired of the anemic night lighting. (Worse than I remember; but I had not updated my drivers in a year or more--not been doing this much lately.) I used FSLSpotlights to start fixing each individual dial, etc. and was pleased. But when I started messing with a dome light, I discovered that it brought all the dials to life at night without even having to make the cockpit very bright. So, the easy fix is to use one FSLSpotlilght cockpit light and the dials somehow pop without a glary look. FSLSpotlights is not really hard to configure; it just requires some patience. (If I can do it, it can't be hard.) So, that…

Anyone using Stream Deck in v5.4? If so, how? I know there's good software out there to emulate flight sim buttons on Stream Deck, but the software only works in Xplane and MSFS.

I was flying around Florida this morning and searched ORBX for anything other than TrueEarth FL. There is a Orlando city scene available but after a short search, it looks to be reviewed negatively due to loading issues and disabling certain files for it to run correctly. Those comments were circa 2019-2020 so I don't know if these issues were ever fixed. Prior to considering buying this, I thought I would ask. Mark

The thrustmaster Airbus sidestick has a basic thrust lever axis, with a detent switch and ability to select reverse. However it doesn't appear to be operational by default. The thrust levers begin moving from the detent position, but I wonder how I'm able to utilise the REV function below the detent upon landing? Using P3D v5 with Aerosoft A330 Pro

Hi, I am an Nvidia Geforce RTX 3060 and P3Dv5.4 user and I see jagged runways, trailing (and other) aircraft edges despite using high AA settings (8x) both in Nvidia control panel and P3D display settings, as you can check in screenshot. My monitor is an LG ULTRAGEAR (1920x1080@144Hz). I wonder if what is shown in screenshot is what it is meant to be, or I have missed some settings.

I have a Varjo Aero headset, and it seems that the software for it, Varjo Base, is causing P3D v6 to freeze up even when I am not using VR or do not have the Base open. I am looking for possible reasons that this may be happening, so if you've had this experience or have a good idea what is going on, I would appreciate the feedback. I want to have the Varjo base installed because it works well in other simulators.

I have searched the A2A forums and these forums, but have yet to find a definitive answer to the A2A problem of no sound in the virtual cockpit in P3Dv5.4. Any solutions appreciated!

I really like almost everything about P3Dv5 but there is one thing that I absolutely hate and that is the super bright, lime green trees everywhere. It just looks absolutely terrible and very unrealistic. It's most noticeable in temperate zones like much of the U.S. where there's lots of trees. I've tried using Orbx FTX Trees HD and Terra Flora V2, I've even tried both enabled at the same time and there's absolutely no difference in the trees at all. I'm not even sure those tree add-ons are even doing anything. Enabling HDR makes them even brighter. I've also searched all over the web for better, more realistic looking tree textures and I found nothing. Is …

Hey Folks, I was wondering if anyone had some thoughts on the use of the RXP 650/635/625 GTN and use of TAWS A/B or the third TAWS option the RXP brings. For some context I've been working through the MilViz DHC2 freebee updating and resolving various issues. At present I've fixed issues in sound, gauge and model, have implemented the newest flight model found on the MilViz forum, placed a workaround for MVAMS not updating the Straight Floats version, updated landing lights as well as various effects and am atm migrating the F1 GTNs over the the RXP releases. And just wondering what thoughts there are re: use of either the 650 or 635 or 625 GTN …

Is there any FSUIPC Lua script for P3D default ATC to perform auto tune to Centres along the route? I do not contact them or use default ATC but just want to hear them for immersion purpose.

I have P3Dv5.4 and I've been reading up on how to change affinity masks but I find it all very confusing. I have a Ryzen 5800X that has 8 physical cores with hyperthreading and I have hyperthreading enabled in my pc bios. I read that it's best to adjust the affinity mask so that hyperthreading cores are disabled so the sim only uses physical cores. The problem is I'm not sure how to do that. I did find and mess around with a couple affinity mask calculators I found but I'm not sure if I'm using them right or what exactly the best settings are for my cpu, it's all so confusing. I haven't been able to find any detailed instructions on how to properly adjust this settin…

Today I had a flight on DA01(Dassault Mercure) from HJG by Mario NORIEGA, in P3Dv4.5hf3, with ASP3D, RealTrub(no CAT) and A2A accu-feel. The flight starts normal, all the way into Yunnan province in southwest China, as the terrain rise, the turbulence start to getting harsh, the Mercure start swing hard and sometimes over 30degree bank, AP is fighting for control. The DA01 seems much more effected by turbulence, "Normal" aircraft add-on like PMDG737 or FSL319 with similar weight would not do that, but somehow feelthere EJet also suffer such great swing when hit by "moderate" turb by ASP3D, it's not the AP as it also affect manual flying. Anyway, as the turb…

Hi all, I have a new problem ther : just before and after landing, I have a message telling me that the cach is reloaded. Any solution to stop this? Thank's Yves from ELLX
