Heello world, just received a email newsletter about the early access of Wing42s Lockheed Vegas. I know nothing about that developer studio, but looking at their youtube channel ( https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5nL3og6QdMJGucEcBdeC0g ) they really have a good eye for details. There is a nice startup video and more. Sadly i am away from my sim machine, so i have to try her at a later day. Ah - I havent seen a plane with a fuzebox with actual spare fuzes. Or a 8day clock, which has to be rewinded. Has anyone already experience with this release? Cheers!

Hi all, lately I have a strange problem. On the airport LTBA Istanbul I can't get more than 5 FPS anymore. I deactivated really everything I could incl. SODE, GSX and even the default airport. Nothing left there and anyway not more than 5 FPS. If I slew to 1000 ft or so, everything is fine. Also if I slew a bit away from the airfield. Anyone has any idea? First and only place where that happens to me. This is a pic where the default airport was still active.

Hi all- In what manner does ai detect wind direction after starting P3D in order to select a runway for takeoff? And, how long does this take? Thanks, Mark

I started with P3Dv4.4 a year ago last December. Got all my addons installed and everything has just been great. I was using Win 10 and Foxfire. A couple of months ago I started having problems with P3D and discovered there were updates to P3D. I update everything else, but didn't have a clue P3D had to be updated. I discovered this P3D update requirement when I started opening P3D and if I clicked on the Options button, P3D would CTD. I installed the latest Client plus and now am up to date and everything has been running fine. A month ago, I just got overloaded with Foxfire and Dashlane password manager, and let my IT guy install Google Chrome. Everything has be…

Hi, I'm in the process of building a new system ready to (finally!) make the switch from FSX to P3D v4 and am having a bit of a dilemma over which graphics card to go for. I don't really want to spend anymore than £400, so I've narrowed it down to either the GTX 1070 Ti (which I can get for ~£390) or the newer RTX 2060 (for ~£330). In most benchmarks and reviews I've seen, the gaming performance appears to be almost identical between the two, so on paper it seems an obvious choice to go for the newer (and cheaper) RTX 2060. The only thing holding me back is the fact the 1070 Ti has 8GB of VRAM, versus only 6GB in the 2060 (although it is newer and faster GDDR6)…

I'm not sure how to describe ... It looks like the mesh and/or terrain textures are refreshed every few seconds which gives an illusion that the terrain moves a bit up and down ... When it happens, it is an absolute immersion killer. It happens not everywhere but in some areas it is more prominent. And, it seems to be independent from the settings I choose in the P3D graphics interface. Even at low settings this ugly "terrain hopping" occurs. I am not sure, but ORBX Regions with an additional airport scenery from another developer and hilly ground seem to be most affected. Two examples: ORBX FTX SAK + Anchorage (Aerosoft) and ORBX FTX NZNI + Wellington (Flightbeam). …

I seem to have black panels on the IndiaFoxtEcho eurofighter typhoon after loading it in. The aircrafts engines and fought controls respond however the displays are blank

I'm having a problem with the extended centerlines being off on the PFD's of each aircraft I fly (PMDG, QW) and I'm out of ideas. I've installed the latest magdec (2019) and it doesn't seem to solve it. Some airports I've even noticed when following the ILS perfectly, I am not lined up properly to the runway. I've searched around and haven't had any luck with that either. Thanks

I have been on the HJG website & dug around but haven't been able to find anything that tells me which sims they build aircraft & liveries for. Hoping P3D is included, but suspect it might be FSX or earlier. Anyone know? Thanks T45

Hi all. I have been away from flightsimming for severel years. Last time, I used FSX with tons of addons. I feel that FSX is outdated, and no longer the sim I want to use. I have been looking at 2 new sims, Prepar3d and X Plane. I have several saitek panels, and the pedals plus yoke, the ones almost all others have. Ofcourse it would be nice to use that hardware again. I care about graphics, realism, and a fairly userfriendly flightsim, i know simming isn't always easy, but i kinda growing tires of fooling around with ini files. A LOT of that i did with FSX. A little tweaking is ok, but the sim must be somewhat ready out of the box. I am ok with sp…

Nvm... Got it figured out..😃

According to Stanislaw in today's FB post, the work already started. I'm pumped!

Hi all! I have recently flown into KPHX to check out embry riddle for spring break but that is besides the point. Anyway I have now fallen in love with skyharbor airport (KPHX), and I love all flightbeam products I have (PDX, SFO) but I am aware that KPHX in the past had some texture issues. Just wondering if it is worth it and if those bugs have been fixed. Thanks! Simon S.

Hello guys, hope u can solve my problem... I use tomato shade on p3d v4, and works fine but my relection maker not. when i put a airplane profile my aircraft goes white and i dont know how to solve it, i already search and i cant find anything to solve it. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/559326313001910272/563737958121734154/unknown.png

Using P3D v4.4 Pro Plus, taking advantage of its Multichannel capability. I have 3 PCs: 1. 4770K, 2 x GTX-760s 2. 4790K, 1 x RTX-2070 3. 9700k, 1 x RTX-2080 I need to power 5 x 1080p outside view monitors. 1. Which PC should be the P3D host? 2. Which two PCs should be the clients? 3. How should the 5 monitors be distributed across the PCs? Thanks much.

A 747 classic is long over due! I confirmed that this will be for FSX and P3D and they will be released at the same time. Spotted the rendering at the FS Expo in Las Vegas. Release possibly this fall. The project is well underway. It was great visiting with the super nice folks from Just Flight as it was with all of the developers.

Hello guys, I've a problem currently with a fresh installation of P3Dv4, I think is something at the configuration panel of my P3D or Nvidia, but after tried several times I can't found where the problem is, so I hope that you can help me. If you look at the picture below, you can see that at the bottom left corner there is a part of the ground as blue, how can I fix this problem? Thanks in advance.

Hey guys. I had some problems with P3V4 4.4 so I went back to 4.3 and that is when everything started to fall apart. As soon as I installed the QW 787 again. The engine blade went blurry and shiny. I'll provide some screenshots here, I tried everything. Reinstalling QW 787, restoring the shaders. Everything. I went out of ideas and I went back to P3DV4 4.4 because I thought maybe it was the tomato shade on the PBR version that is messing things up. But I was wrong, I reinstalled the QW 787 after updating to 4.4 and the PBR works but the engine blade is still shiny and blurry. If someone have ANY idea what it could be please post a comment. Thanks ahead. Yoav. …

Hi anyone know if you can use fs2crew in native vr, you have to bring up some 2d panels for configuring fs2crew but don't know if you can use 2d panels in native vr , I would like to hear from anyone using fs2crew in vr and how they get it to work.

Is it ok to copy them with the migration tool or is this doomed to fail? Anyone tried this?

Hi, Does anyone know where I can find add ons etc. for visible icing effect on the wings/ engine prop. Looking for something to replicate the FSL A319 icing effect on other aircrafts. I have the icev10 gauge, but you can’t see buildup of ice on the wings/ prop. Many thanks, Jason

I know the default ATC leaves a lot to be desired, but does anyone ever tire of the drab monotone American sounding accent that you hear no matter what part of the world you are flying in..?? I just thought it might be kind of interesting if the ATC voices could be accented so they would more accurately represent the country or region you are flying in, for example, German sounding voices for Germany, British, Scottish, or Irish for the UK, Spanish for Spanish speaking countries etc. etc. Maybe it's a longshot, but I just thought it might be nice to have in a future release.

Hi all- I've been going a la carte recently and I'm looking for some decent sky textures that aren't part of a package. I've done a cursory search and have gotten quite a few dead links. Anybody have suggestions? Thanks, Mark

Hi All Now that I [finally] have a smooth running flightsim, I'm planning to backup or to be more precise, copy my P3D root directory installation which comprises P3D+ORBX+OTHER SCENERY & AIRPORT ADD-ONS from the likes of Aerosoft, FS Addons and UK2000, from the ssd on which it currently resides to an internal hdd. I also have other add-ons handled by the xml method via Lorby's excellent add-on manager which pose no concern in this respect. The SSD also holds in separate directories FS Pilots mesh, REX Skyforce & WWA, MyTraffic 06a and a whole bunch of Return to Misty Moorings stuff. I've read a previous post from 2016 in the forums related to this, but …
