Anybody here using the Digital Design EDDP Leipzig/Halle airport scenery, and if so, what are your impressions..??

Hey guys, In case you missed it, iFly announced the soon-to-be released free update for P3D V4 users for the 747...the BCF! I have it on good authority that she'll be released with a few liveries....imagine that...a FREE update with included liveries! 🙂 Here are just a few shots of some of the paints that will be released with the update (go to iFly's general forum here to check out all the paints: http://ifly.flight1.net/forums/topic17271.html) The plane is not modeled in PBR, but I heard that the painter who did the metal paints used his custom alpha layers to really enhance the shine on the metal. 😉

Hi I've got a problem with AS. In the last few days I've been flying between two areas in the UK where the weather is not bad. The problem is that is not the case in P3D. I tell it to use the weather from AS that I was setting in P3D (that's done by the time), but all I usually get is a very thick mist. In them locations, I know the weather was not like that. Essentially, on the Wx Control page, I set it to "Historical Weather", and then check the "force historical time to sim time" check box. When I go into P3D, and create a flight, including specifying the date/time, the AS seems to switch to that day and time, which is great - but as I said, the weather is not ri…

Hello guys. Today, when I was trying to install Tomatoshade, I get this error when I opened it. Do you know how I can solve it? I have the latest version, the version 27. A image of the error: https://gyazo.com/c6514937a2b4c14888d06d4f0e6c49ac Regards, Jorge.

Hi Any of you managed to get the Qeqqata X scenery to work with P3D 4.4? I´m having a problem with the elevation at BGSF to work... ( I have ORBX vector installed) THX Jean

Hello Guys, Saw on AVSIM last week that the turbine Duke was outfitted for P3D. I downloaded it and all seems fine except the gear does not work using the Saitek panel. In the front office, it works as it should. Thought it might be something to do with SPAD Next, so I posted on the support forum. Only one reply and that person thought it might be a "simconnect" problem. The Saitek panel gear lever works fine with all other airplanes, just not the Duke. I emailed with Bert but he was not able to assist. If any of you have both the Duke and Saitek would really like to hear from you. Thanks!

About once a week or so I suddenly find the cockpit sound slider in Win10/P3dv4.4 maxed out at 100%. I normally keep it below 25%. I would appreciate hearing any ideas on why this setting would change on its own. Thx, Al

It appears that the folder FTX_EU_!GBS_06_CVX causes UK2000 jetways not to appear.. EGKK and EGBB tested so far exhibit this problem. Will be doing some further analysis to identify the specific files in this folder causing this to work out why... it seems that this folder contains excludes for FTX EU-UK and default scenery, road traffic and water files. please add any further info here...

I recently installed Aerosoft CRJ700-900-X and noted the installer refusing to install into a folder outside of P3Dv4, as recommended by both Aerosoft and P3D and I had no choice but to allow installation into the P3Dv4 Ecosystem folder. In the Aerosoft Forum, I inquired if there existed a method of overriding this installer to install the program into a folder/drive outside of P3Dv4 and commented that such was the recommended procedure. As a terse response, the developer Herr Hans Hartmann, implied that I suggested that he was "incompetent," (apparently for not updating his installer to accommodate P3Dv4 installation suggestions), to include his additional sta…

Anybody using PrecipitFX from OldProp Solutions..?? The default P3D rain and snow wheel spray effects seem pretty bad and not very realistic to me, and apparently PrecipitFX can address that... https://oldprop.com/sim/precipitfx/ Would love to hear from any of you who are using PrecipitFX...😎

Specifically FTX vector and the airport elevations. I am getting so tired of this tool messing up my addon sceneries. It seems no matter what add on airport I choose to fly into the elevations are off and buildings are floating or runways are sunken. I'm pretty sure most of you can relate. Really takes the realism out of a long flight when you land in the ground. Another problem is that if you go into the AEC panel and deactivate an airport the next time you run a complete new scan all the changes that you made are erased. I don't why this program is so unfriendly to the sim. I thought this was going to be fixed and should have been fixed by now. I would appreciate if som…

Which one is technically more realistic? Haseen Ahmad.

It's probably vector, but most Land textures are black or the night variant at day, but at night they are in the day version and are really bright, here's a discord image link so i can show you

Hello! I have been fighting this for a couple of weeks to no avail, so I thought I would try to tap the accumulated wisdom of the AVSIM members to see if they have seen it before. I am getting cyclic erratic behavior in several of my aircraft models, ranging from simple (Carenado) to complex (A2A and Vertx). There are likely others but they have not been so evident... yet. Carenado B350i has a repetitive altitude warning of FORTY no matter what state the aircraft is in: cold and dark, ready to fly, in the air and flying. It is on a one-second timer and it active even when the simulator is PAUSED! Vertx DA62 has the left engine visually and aurally "s…

I have noticed this recently how the textures and stuff load before I even choose a scenario. Is this normal? Every time it does this the sim crashes shortly after actually loading a new flight. http://

is anyone using traffic global is it working correctly yet.

So I have been going back and forth on whether to buy RJTT from Technobrain. It's very expensive and the quality doesn't look that enticing. The problem is that there are no other scenery for RJTT anywhere. I don't know if there is an older freeware version that works for P3D V4.3 but I haven't found one. There was also talk about another developer doing the airport so I don't want to buy it and then next week another version comes out. I was already burned on ZBAA but that one wasn't too bad. If anyone has the Technobrain RJTT are you regretting your purchase? is there something special that's included? Does it come with Tokyo city scenery too? Thanks

Hi All, When using PMDG's 744 in combo with Tomato Shade it always results in a weird Tail texture. Any ideas? Cleared shaders, used R&D A/C profiles & livecockpits A/C profiles but no joy. The thing is, I don't have this issue with the -8. https://snag.gy/8QREfA.jpg Bregards

Hi I have decent FPS in P3D, but get regular stutters every minute. I monitor my FPS on MSI afterburner and literally every 60 seconds my FPS drops and I get a freeze in the sim. I have gone back to no overclock, but still, get stutters, any ideas? If you need any details please ask, Ollie.

Hi guys i've been having issue in my qw787 ,I got Question mark and weird character,how Can i solve it

I seem to have a problem with UK2000 Xtreme airports and ORBx TrueEarth GB South. I have noticed that all of the jetways at UK2000 Gatwick Xtreme and Stansted Xtreme are missing when I have all four folders of ORBx TrueEarth GB South active, and I suspect that it may well affect all UK2000 Xtreme airports that have jetways. It seems to be related to the FTX_EU_!GBS_06_CVX folder, because the jetways appear if I disable that folder. Is anyone else suffering from this problem?

Hi, I had break from P34V4.3 to 4.4. Installed two weeks ago but.... I noticed strange problem. I dont remeber it before :(. Its hard to describe for me but its a little annoying (and it appears very quickly). I noticed it in P3Dv4.4 and for example in winter (here is more visible). When I fly textures rebuild every time, this is a fast process (P3D is on SSD disc NVMe) but it is noticeable (as You see slope textures, small parts ect.) Here is the place near Homer airport (flight to north east). You can notice that textures "are working" still and living what's annoying for me (not stable, fixed texture). I haven't idea, here I have here: FTX Regi…

does anyone know how to delete the default taxiway signs from the scenery they are on the grass and in the middle of the taxiways. Thanks

I really enjoy flying in and out of the SimWings Gibraltar Professional airport, but I can't help thinking that the upgrade to P3D v4 status was a golden opportunity to create an "internal detail" version of the main terminal. It would have really added to the immersion factor. I wonder if SimWings have any plans to do this in the future?

I've just taken advantage of the sale over at SimMarket to buy three airports - Jetstream Palermo and two by RFscenerybuilding - LIPZ (Venice) and LDZA (Zagreb). Neither of the offerings from RFscenerybuilding have moving jetways. Not even default ones. The static jetways are just there for a bit of eye candy and fail miserably. LICJ is different and a separate jetway download is available from the GSX forum. Both were described as compatible with P3D v4 so you would hope they might contain some detailed features as there's no longer any VAS restrictions. But all they seem to do is make sure the basic airport runs okay in v4 and then amend the installer. I …
