The Prepar3d Forum

Hey guys, just want to know your opinion and ideas, what TFDI‘s new project could be. I am thinking about the release of Pax or however it is called, or the E-Jets, which were in development by one of their members. Here is the FSElite post: https://www.facebook.com/1775530202666786/posts/2329937020559432?sfns=mo

Hi guys My airplane doesn't show in PRO-ATC when I reload the flight plan in to P3d . I got B60 duke loaded in p3d and also i added the same plane in Pro-atc ,looks this pro-atc works only for airliners . https://imgur.com/a/UerU0tC thanks meyer

Just thought I would "pay it forward" as I found this information buried *DEEP* on the Lockheed Martin P3D forum. I was having *MASSIVE* lag and frame-rates bottoming out into the single digits every time I went to undock *ANY* panel in P3D v4.4, just doing so would many times cause a CTD. The issue had stopped me from being able to undock *ANY* gauges and/or panels in P3D v4.4, even the native panel manager would cause the same issue. It took me several hours of searching through multiple forums to find out the cause but in the end it turned out to be EVGA's PrecisionX OC application that allows overclocking and custom fan control of Nvidia based GPU's that was causi…

I read here recently someone is using a new Mini-PC networked to their main P3D PC to run add-ons (with monitors dedicated to the add-on). Sounds like a good idea. I'm particularly interested in having a hardware-based GPS (probably GNS-530/430 combination). I see that RealSimGear sells a 530/430 bundle that contains their own monitors, each one needing to be connected to the PC running P3D. Flight 1 Aviation Technologies (not to be confused with Flight1.com) also sells one, the difference being that it can run on a PC not running P3D but connected to it via a LAN. I prefer that second option, but Flight 1 Aviation Technologies does not market the combined 530/430. …

Since installing 4.4, I'm experiencing the sim going into a Paused state after aircraft loading is complete. I have to manually unpause the sim to proceed with my session. I haven't been able to find if/where this behavior is configured. Can I turn this off? It kind of annoys me.

Since I upgraded to P3D v4.4 last week, I have noticed that my aircraft engines sound a bit strange for a few seconds after the plane is loaded, and then settle down to normal. This happens (as far as I can tell) with all of the aircraft that I have installed (default and payware). Has anyone else noticed this? It was not an issue in P3D v4.3.

If you had to vote on one (must have) add-on airport in the USA, which would you choose on the basis of detail? I want to make a video to show my pilot friend and I want to "wow" him on the level of detail out there.

Hi Everyone i am considering purchasing Imaginesims KATL. I have their WSSS scenery and have found it very good. I am aware that FlyTampa are supposedly doing this scenery at the moment, but given the length of time and promises of soon for their upcoming KLAS scenery and the lack of images or information on the development of KATL - I am not confident we are going to see it anytime soon. What are your opinions of the Imaginesim version. While not as new as their WSSS is it a credible offering for P3D?

Hi Everyone There was a bit of a hot topic a few months ago re FTX saying that it’s airport products “had to have” FTX Northern California to work. It turned out that this was not precisely correct, it would work with FTX OLC North America but with perhaps some issues that were caused by not having the full fat regions installed. I do not want to start another war about this but was wondering if anyone has these airports running with just FTX North America in the background and what “problems” are you seeing by doing this. ‘The full fat regions in North America do tend to have some system taxing features that I don’t see when using a slightly less …

I installed the trees but can not see them please guide. Thanks

Hi I am going to be upgrading from my GTX 1060 6GB to either an RTX 2060 or 2070. I originally was going to just go for 2060, however, I am noticing I am hitting that 6GB buffer already in some areas and getting large stutters and freezes when I do so. So for roughly £100 I could get the RTX 2070 8GB VRAM, which would increase my performance greatly. I know that the Fps:Price ratio is best for the 2060, but the 6GB buffer is worrying me. I have an i5 8600K, so I have a mid/high range CPU. Also, I have 16GB RAM. So do I go for the 2060 or 2070? Thanks, Ollie

Hey folks - I just started using tomato shade and so far Im pretty impressed with the updated looks of the sim. One thing Im having issues with is the extended reflection rendering. After enabling I go to the reflection maker and apply the profile to the specific AC (I've tried the PMDG 737 and FSLa320). During the day, everthing looks incredible however at night, it seems the AC aren't affected by time of day. The textures are the same brightness level as they were during the day. I followed the instructions on the site/readme. Any ideas what I may be doing wrong?

Morning all- I've been looking through the forums, and just had a somewhat simple question, and not trying to open a can of worms or start any fights, but rather just get some information if Prepar3d is a good option for me. I've had FSX for years, been using Microsoft's FS since the early days... I upgraded my computer last year and purchased Xplane11. While obviously it is amazing in a lot of ways, it still doesn't have that FSX feel for me. In FSX I flew the PMDG 737 primarily, and really enjoyed it. What I'm curious about is would it be worth it to make the investment in Prepar3d as well? I'm really just looking for more of that FSX experience, but a fe…

I used to do a lot of scenery in FS9, but stopped for FSX and Prepar3d. Now I have created scenery for my VA that I would like to place in FSX/P3D. Is there anyone who can point me to a good tutorial, or would be willing to meet me on Discord or online somewhere where we could discuss it? Thank you. BDS

Has LM tweaked the default atc at all from what came with FS2004/FSX? I decided to give the default atc a try again with P3D and was presently surprised with how well it worked. You still can’t follow STARS completely, but the vectors actually seemed logical for the most part with a few glitches here and there. Still not Vatsim or real life ATC quality, but better than no ATC at all.

Hello, for some reason not all my joysticks are recognized under the menu point "Joystick calibration" in FSUIPC. When I move the sticks for aiIerons, rudder, throttle etc, I can see numbers changing. However my USB racing wheel that I want to assign to the tiller function does not change any numbers. Only the zero in min neutral and max position are shown. The usb racing wheel is however working fine under the menu point "Axis Assignment" and under the prepar3d control menu. Any ideas why? Thanks! Best regards Andreas

Hi! Is there any study-level, (PMDG-level) helicopter compatible with P3D v4.4? Today I´m using Milviz UH-1 Redux. Before, in my FSX-period, I have "flying" the Dodosim 206.

Isn't it smart this option to open doors on the external model, those guys are way ahead, even PBR on cockpit! https://www.flythemaddog.com/forum/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=4940

I've had FS Global 2010 for quite some time now and have installed it in FSX, P3D v3 and now v4.4. If you're still running with the default mesh even if turned all the way up to 1 metre resolution you might think you're getting a reasonable representation of the world's mountains. I can assure you you're not. If you need any proof these two images were taken from the same position. The only difference is FS Global was enabled on one but not the other. The mountain is the Matterhorn - one of the most famous mountains in the world bordering Switzerland and Italy. The longer load times are definitely worth it for the huge amount of extra detail it brings. No impact…

I have been flying sims for a while but just going from point A to point B. Now that I am trying to learn how to fly PMDG 737, 747 and 777 I have found that it is a lot more fun operating them correctly. What is the best way to setup and operate the localizer when doing an ILS landing?

Is anyone using FS Panel Studio and using it for P3D? I am finding some of the FSX gauges work and some don't. Has anyone found a way to import P3DV4 gauges into FS Panel Studio? Thanks.

Hello. Am I missing any other aircraft that have rain effects? Seems that there were more in v4.3 ? Thanks, Mike

It's like this, i've reinstalled the game, but it's still like this..

Does anyone have this scenery for P3D V4? I installed per the directions and the airport is on a plateau. I've tried both enabling and disabling the elevation correction in ORBX vector to no avail. There is an included elevation correction but that just brings it from a massive valley to on the plateau.
