Ive emailed Pilots 3 times and send them messages on facebook twice to no avail. Does anyone know which bgl to disable in their almeria LEAM scenery to get rid of the static ryanair on the ground ? Many thanks

Good morning, maybe you can help me with that. I am able to run 30hz with my Monitor and i tried it with a saved flight using FSLabs 320 in the air above germany where i got usually stutters. With 30hz and inside sim vsync and TB on, frames unlimited it is super smooth. But as soon as i start at a airport, taxiing etc is so full of stutters or input lag, don't know how i should describe it. when in the air above 10k everything is smooth again. Do you guys have any idea what causes this ? Thanks a los, Carsten

Hi I'm a former user of FSX. I never got that satisfying action using that sim, so a year ago I decided to go over to P3D hoping for a better performance, but here again I struggles with the same problem. Here's my data: Operating System Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1 CPU AMD Phenom II X6 1050T RAM 16.0GB Dual Channel DDR3 @ 671MHz (9-9-9-24) motherboard ASRock 870 Extreme3 (CPUSocket) Graphics NV Surround (5760x1080 @ 59Hz) 4095MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 (Gigabyte) I'm using three monitors. I've tried a lot of different settings, but no one working to my satisfaction. I would like to hear if others had the…

Hello, I am running p3d v4.4 with ezca v3 pro v3.0.1.53. When in the VC of any aircraft and i click the mouse wheel and use it to zoom out, the zoom continues outside the cockpit and distorts the entire field of view. i have tried deleting the camera cfg and running the ezca config file again however neither helped Would greatly appreciate any assistance justin

I'm giving thought to buying Wyoming Megascenery and I have ORBC central mountain with Jackson and West Yellowstone already installed. Just wondering if anyone else has tried this combination. The overlap area is small. Thanks. Dave

When attempting to attach a SODE Jetway to the newly released Airbus A220 I get the following text message in P3D v4.4... "[SODE] Jetway Control System: No Door Parameters Found For Aircraft 'A220'! Hood Will not Extend" FWIW, the jetway tunnel does extend and the hood attaches itself to the AC, but it's not perfectly aligned, the lower part of the hood is slightly buried in the AC, and there's a noticeable gap at the top of the hood.... So it does work, sort of, but if there's a way to get SODE to recognize the door parameters (which I can get) I would love to know how to do it. Any help or suggestions are appreciated...😎

Hello I recently got p3d and there are blue streaks and lines all over the terrain. Everything is default. Tried reinstalling, updating drivers, turning off nav visuals. Couldn't find anything online to help. Any ideas?

I have a strange situation and I am at a loss to figure out what happened. On at least to airports, Flightbeam KPHS and FSDT KLAS some of the city autogen buildings have disappeared. Such as the downtown skyscrapers and football stadium at KPHX and a several at downtown Las Vegas. I recently installed Aerosoft Las Vegas to give me back some downtown scenery but even then the triangle shaped casino is gone. I cannot think of anything I have done to alter them other than disable appropriate AFCAD files to allow for the third party airports. Has anyone else experienced this and have a solution?

Hi, i've already posted on the FSLabs forum but no answer at all. I've got this problem: when i use the wing engine view nav light doesn't work. As soon as a move the camera back it works again. I use tomatoshade, the latest FSLabs A320 version and ChasePlane Thanks in advance Matteo

So I have flown on vatsim for some months now and there is some problems. One of them is that the livery on all online aircrafts are the same. I want to see whether the aircraft is an emirates plane or a Norwegian if you know what i mean. And also, I think some of the aircrafts are wrong, because i always tend to see a lot of the same planes, and those planes are small. And when i hear on the radio somebody saying Norshuttle but in my sim they are labled "Regional Jet" it doesnt make sence. So, my question is; does it exist an addon that gives online aircrafts their real livery and real aircraft and not some random in-game livery? Thank you.

Does anyone know what would cause the textures to go missing on aircraft that have recently been updated for PBR for P3D 4.4, I updated both the PMDG 747 and the Quality Wings 787 and lost the exterior model. ( i have Screenshots just don't know how to add to thread) any help would be much appreciated. - Paddy

Hey Folks - can someone enlighten me on the special effects slider. I've been having super poor FPS (6-9fps) and stutters. I started poking through my settings and noticed I had this set to high. I dropped it to low and I'm no less than 20fps in populated areas and locked at 30 everywhere else. Sim is buttery smooth and I see no noticeable change in visuals. What gives?

I'm an IRL IFR pilot and I'm looking to use P3d to stay sharp on my approach skills during the cold months in Montana where I can't fly as much as I'd like. My issue is that there are no IFR charts that reflect the outdated NavData in p3d, and all other threads related to this topic seem to be about updating the p3d NavData to match the real world charts, not the other way around. Does anyone know of any decent sources for outdated IFR charts that can either be downloaded or purchased? Thanks!

Hi, this issue is bothering for long time, sitting at KATL at 8:30 PM and look at all those stars, its really annoying, im not even talking about dark time, you sit at LAX and you have a million stars just above your head, there is anything to do? BTW the upper half of the picture is a picture before that one.. its just shoved in there lol

So I have this issue at cruising altitude with my cockpit shadows. Even if I’m above all of the clouds my shadows still go dark and turn back to light as if I were passing through a cloud. If I’m flying over clouds P3D projects those clouds shadows into my cockpit making it darker. Is this a limitation within P3D? It’s been prevalent in every aircraft I fly.

One of the many issues that seems to make P3D such high maintenance. Saved scenarios simply disappear after a while. Looks like it either has a limit of maybe 15-20 scenarios, or a time limit of a few weeks for each one. I can't tell. Is there some fix for this - its very annoying. Thanx Jeff B

I've been considering upgrading to a 4K monitor for some time. Saw P3D briefly on a 4K display and was really blown away by the clarity but didn't get enough time with it to truly see how aliasing and shimmering was handled. Currently running 1440P with 4xSSAA, so would obviously love to drop SSAA down to claw some performance back when running 4K. However, is the classic shimmering still noticeable even at 4K and is MSAA enough at 4K to get a similarly smooth image to my current setup? What is everyone's experience? Thanks

Can any developer put their two cents in and tell me if it would’ve too much trouble to make a universal flashlight tool for any VC with the new night environment for v4.4? I honestly like the new night effects in P3D a lot... I think it adds to the immersion but I can’t see lol. I was stumbling around in the VC for a least 10 minutes trying to look for the batt switch just to turn on the flood lighting. So maybe a flashlight tool would be useful that moves with the mouse icon so as you sweep the cockpit and it would light up anything maybe within a three inch diameter? And you can switch it on and off at will. Does that sound doable or is the idea more like something out…

After some weeks of stability it seems like i'm getting my first problem with v4.4: lighting. So on like AS CRJ, Airbus and the TFDI i seem to have a weird very powerful white flash that lights the cockpit about once every 2 seconds. On some angles(looking @ circuit breakers) this dissapears... It's frustrating as the darkness of the VC is none and when it flashes my fps get low.... Also this only appears at night.... I've tried everything... From choosing different options to even reinstall reallight when there was some (not on the crj) but no success.... The lighting beam seems to come from the center of the aircraft. When it lights up the …

Hi all! I want to do these questions to expert simmers and real pilots that use these at the actual state of development: which is the most realistic (in terms of AFDS, systems simulations in their completeness, fidelity with real aircraft, behaviour in flight, reactions with the weather etc.)? I’m not speaking about add-on features (load manager, immersion, fuel planner, PBR models etc.). Alessandro

Does anybody tried or know if these great package works on P3D v4? Thanks

How many of you use tablet applications such as SimServer or Navigraph along with your single computer? Which ones do you use? Thanks John

For the longest time, I've become accustomed to P3d pausing for a few seconds to as much as 10 seconds when I switched views from cockpit to spot to anything else. It didn't ALWAYS happen, but it happened quite frequently and it did so on every flight I've had in the past. I became to think of it as normal, and related it to settings in the sim that might have been stronger than they should have been. I really didn't think too much about it, and assumed it was just a bothersome inconvenience for having all my sliders close to full right. Today, however, I downloaded the new Nvidia driver 419.67....and replaced the latest 419.35. I was blown away that after 2 ho…

Hi all, Finally had the time to upgrade to P3D v4.4, but I notice that my PBR aircraft (PMDG 744 and QW787) have waaay more jagged edges than non PBR-aircraft. I'm using SSAA 4x in-game and it the PBR aircraft look like they don't use any AA. Did anyone else have this issue and know a fix? EDIT: I'm using an updated AMD R9 390
