Anybody got any clues on this problem? I posted on the Orbx support forum as well... but trying I all my resources. I used the FTX AU Control Tower to view AI traffic at a local airport after installing Ultimate Traffic Live. Very cool for watching AI. In using the radar, I used the "Fade In" and "Fade Out" options in the radar controls. I made the radar semi-transparent while doing so. I finished my session, then later returned to P3D 4.4 (version I use) and found that ALL my pop up windows on ALL sim aircraft are now semi-transparent. I also found I lost ATC voices. I can still hear aircraft noises (engines, cockpit sounds) but I get no voice at all f…

Hi all, can you recommend small and slow aircraft which work in P3D v4? In the real world, I'm learning flying in a Comco-Ikarus C42, but from what I hear, the P3D payware is not very good. Any similar alternatives? (For reference: A C172 is already too big and fast; also, no traildragger please). Would also be great if the panel comes WITHOUT artificial horizon.

Hi, I have been trying to figure out how these two apps work together. What I gather, both are needed to perform their stated functions. However, I see FS Realtime has it's own time zone functionality. A short and sweet overview is appreciated.

Hi all, I am pretty new to P3D V4 but I realized that whenever I turn, my aircraft tilts to one side. Even when I am going like 5kts, the aircraft still tilts. I've used default aircraft and the Aerosoft CRJ. Any ideas on how to prevent this as I don't remember this from the FSX days. Thanks!

Hi I am looking to buy a decent aircraft program and have looked at the following : FSLABS 320 AEROSOFT 320 PMDG 737 As good as it looks, I don't think i can justify the cost of the FSLABS package so I think it is between the other two. Can anyone recommend one or the other please?

I wish to consolidate some scenery folders in the addon scenery folder and begin to add additional scenery folders with more folder structure. I have read the scenery manual in P3D and multiple scenery install threads, but none answer the question directly, at least that I could find. Do I need to actually load the default aircraft after using delete area in scenario scenery library, moving the folder into a sub folder and adding it back in? Or can I get away with doing it about 10 times, each time letting it finish the folder addition, and then loading the default aircraft? I know I should probably buy Lorby and do it the right way, and I might yet, but that is…

I've read that ASP4 doesn't use much PC resources. I also understand that ASP4 can be run on a networked PC so as to not take computer resources that could otherwise be used by P3D v4. I have an i7-4790K @ 4.6 GHz, 16 GB RAM, RTX 2080 GPU. Is it worthwhile to put ASP4 on a networked PC? Am I likely to see any difference in P3Dv4 performance between PC configurations? Thanks. Scott

Guys I am thinking about buying this bird, however I have a few questions. 1) I currently am a huge fan of the FSL 320...can I run the 787 with at least the same FPS? I'm pretty sure the FSL stuff is the hardest hitter on FPS isn't it? 2) Can the QW 787 fly a proper radius-fix type of RNP approach. I don't just mean is it in the database, I mean I want it to actually work the way it does in the FSL plane. 3) I fly a lot of United and I think this bird would be perfect. Is there any reason I shouldn't purchase it? Regards,

I just read on FSElite that the QW787 NDA was lifted so videos and streams are now available. I watched one of the beta testers host two live streams and instead of showing the upcoming QW787 in a professional manner demonstrating its v4 features I thought I was watching an AirForceProud95 video due to the language and joking. I left the stream and the only thing that came to mind was, I hope they are not examples of the beta testers QW was using to work out the bugs in there aircraft. I'm sure they don't represent the group as a whole but you figured a first time preview would be done in better taste. I watch Twitch so I know what goes on. Beta testers for products like …

Hi AllI am having issues installing Prepar3d V4.4.I have downloaded the installation files, checked the MD5 hash on both the zip file and all the component files.On running the prepar3d_setup.exe the process flows through until about 95% on the progress bar (guessing that, no actual numbers are visible) then just sits. Whilst this is running, the rest of the computer virtually hangs and I generally have to crash out by hard resetting the computer as explorer stops responding.I have tried installing by running through the 3 sub packages:_client.msi completes ok_content.msi gets through the first runthrough the progress bar (updating component registrations) but then hangs …

Here's my deal. I have all of the Orbx Global; LC; PNW, T2G Seattle and Seattle X Airport by (Drzewiecki Design). I am not using vector (for now) because it seems to screw up everything. I have the compatibilty done like the separate Seaatle Mesh, terrain and the default Seattle T2G.. What is the best way to set up library cfg starting from the top so I can maximize my experience. seems like there are elevation issues so any help would be gratefully accepted. I have Lorby-si so I can move stuff around Best Regards, BobM.

My previous setup: i5 6600k, Asus z170, 16gb ram, 1080ti ran pretty smoothly (with fps limited to 25). P3D settings sensible not pushing it too hard, all was good. I recently rebuilt my PC around an MSI z390 board, i7 9700k, 32gb ram, and the same graphics card 1080ti. All SSDs and P3D v4.4 settings are untouched and precisely the same as before. But now P3D stutters badly and has 20% lower fps than before with six scenarios loaded to benchmark before and after. New BIOS settings checked and new memory is recognised correctly at 3200. I've tried changing fps limit, to no effect. I'm baffled, after spending £800+ that my P3D performance is worse! I must be missin…

What a great product this is! I have a question about P-factor settings though, which I also posted in the release thread, but it is lost among all the other comments about this gorgeous addon. I'm still slightly confused about what is written about P-factor in the manual. I have P-factor set to max already in P3D (because this is recommended for A2A aircraft). But what settings do I use, combined with the P-factor slider in the DA62 config tool, to get the most realistic P-factor experience? I understand the Vertx settings enhance the P3D settings. So what is ideal? What do you guys use?

Does anyone know or has a link where I can find Lear 35A V-Speeds? I utilize the Flysimware Lear but I can’t seem to find any speed documents on the aircraft. Note that I have checked the documentation on their website. I looked on google but there’s really nothing out there so maybe someone on here has some info?

I'm looking for a business jet, seating 4 to max 10 passengers, it's still missing in my hangar. I'm after system depth rather than optics and would not get a Carenado type plane. My favourites are the learjets from Flysimware and Xtreme Prototypes, but I might be wrong. Please could you advice? Thx, Karl

Hello, is it possible to automatically load the payload and fuel data that is reckoned out by simbrief into the PMDG 747-400 P3Dv4? I know that the automatic load process is working for routes but I'm unsure about fuel and payload data. With the FSLabs Airbus I can load fuel, payload and route data directly from simbrief into the plane. Thanks! Best regards Andreas

Hi all, I'm coming to you cause I don't know what to do, few weeks ago I've bought Ezdok camera and everything worked well, Last week I had to reinstall all my computer, P3D included, but Know I can't figure out how to reinstall Ezca, I've tried to download the installer on the web site, It seems that it installed the program correctly but I found it weird that it did not asked me for a licence key or something and when I launch p3d I can't find it in the addon section. Could you help me ? I'd like to update to version 3 :) Thank you in advance :)
