    I am unable to start the right engine on the RealAir Turbine Duke in Prepar3Dv4.4. I have flown this aircraft frequently and am familiar with the start procedure. The port engine starts as always but there is no fuel flow shown when the right condition lever is advanced on startup. The fuel selectors are on "all" for both tanks and the fuel pump is running with an indicated pressure of 22 psi. Ignition is set to on and Ng = 12 % when condition lever is advanced. I have done this with the default aircraft set to the Iris F-22, the Bonanza A-36 and the Beech Baron all with the same result either loading the Duke directly or switching to it after the default loads. …

  2. Question here for the users of the AIG AI manager one click installer that are more experienced than I am.... So I've been using the AI Manager OCI for several days now, and I have managed to get a number of AI flight plans installed successfully, however I've tried installing the KLM winter 2018 flightplan using the AIG AIM OCI, but I get an error message.. "bad request", then it asks for the file "FSRavenLabs E175NW build 1901.zip", I went to the the FS Raven Labs site and found the E175NW, which is listed as "current build 1901", but the only download available is for build 1902, and I don't see a download link for 1901 anywhere.. http://www.ravenfslabs.com/e…

  4. Has anyone installed Flytampa's Amsterdam with 4.4 and if so, are you experiencing elevation issues? My 747 is half submerged beneath the visible ground level. Orbx AEC has not rectified the issue. I have installed the FT EHAM patch and the 1.1 update - but no luck. First time I'm having an issue with elevation at EHAM, never been a problem before which couldn't be resolved using Orbx AEC.

    Just downloaded this much raved preset for PTA. I'm also using their Rex SF profile. Does anyone have their P3d settings? Can't see to find this on the Thopat website. Anyway, so far it looks ok. To me, everything is way too dark and the blue cast is overdone. Especially on overcast days, the ground becomes almost impossible to see. I'm adjusting the brightness in p3d, but that doesn't seem to help. The contrast and black levels are just way too high. I've seen some fantastic pictures from other users, just not sure what I'm doing wrong. I did restore the default shaders in PTA before applying this preset. Could also be that each time I've flown since it's bee…

  7. Hello all, I am wondering if anyone can help me with easy-to-follow steps. I have bought a while ago a little takeoff performance calculator tool called TOPS. The author wasn't too helpful when I turned to him for help so I didn't even touch the tool. Now, more than a year later I decided to revisit this app and it looks like it received many updates. But I still don't know how to make it connect to my P3D computer. The app itself is currently installed on my laptop. I can run it, it's fine, but in order for it to actually work and calculate stuff, it needs to connect to the running flight simulator - which is on my desktop PC. Since the app isn't at all connect…

Haven't found anything on web so this looks like a problem of mine only?? Thanks for any ideas what i did wrong.

    So, I know that I should be able to install into a drive other than my C drive. And I know to select another drive from the drop down menu on the first page of the installer, however... Even when I select E drive, and the installer confirms the path to that drive, the whole program still ends up in my C drive. I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times, and I THINK I have cleaned my registry correctly each time, but still cannot get it to go to the other drive. If I missed an entry in my registry, would that drive the installation towards C? Anyone help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi All: Just a quick questions for any P3D v4 user; I am planning to purchase the P3D v4 and, as I was browsing their website, I noticed that there were several upgrades, from 4.0 to 4.4. Does this mean that I'd have to install 4.4 once I purchase the v4 version? or, Will v4 version come with the 4.4 update included? I browsed every where on their website and could not find an answer.. Maybe I'm just blind.. Any suggestions will be gratly appreciated.😉

  19. Heya all, just a quick one and excuse my ignorance. I've just installed the fabulous AIG AI Manager and its flight plans but was just wondering, does it matter when i'm flying in terms of the year, vs the flight plans themselves? So i installed 2018 flight plans. If i fly using the current time, 2019, will they still show up? Also, does anyone know if the AI Lights Reborn works nicely with aircraft installed with AIG Manager? cheers!

  22. Hi, I mentioned this in another thread, but I have so much additional information and time has passed that it seems like it makes more sense to start a different thread. Problem While testing the AIG AI Manager around Christmas, I discovered that I was having very few arrivals of AI traffic. At the time, I had a hybrid of UTL, AI BGLs and the GA packages from ORBX. Traffic was running great before I noticed the problem, but I'm not sure when the problem arose. Specifically, at all airports, with all airlines, with UTL traffic or BGL traffic, I would see lots of traffic on the ground (100+ depending on the airport/time), but probably 1/10 of the scheduled ar…
