Are there any addon's/tweaks that can tune the physical scale of autogen in the sim? The one major knock I have on the scenery in P3D (and FSX) is the scale of it. The trees and autogen houses are usually way way too big for the distances you're viewing them at. It has the effect of looking like a "model railroad city" or "lego land" or something like that. I wish LM would find a way to tweak the scaling of autogen (or provide options for it)

I am trying to figure out why this is going on, I have decided to set up another monitor for p3d just so I can see other apps and stuff on a different screen, ie Flightsim Commander and ProATC X. I have two displays, the one i wish to run p3dv4 on is a 29in ultra wide screen its resolution is 2560x1080x32 as it has always been in my p3d settings, my other new display that i plan on using to see other programs on has a resolution of 1920x1080x32. The issue I am having is the when II fire up p3d and go into full screen mode my resolution on my ultawide screen is some how switched to 1920x1080x32 and it shows this in the p3d cfg file too, and the option to have my 2560x108…

About half a dozen airlines worldwide including Delta and Jetblue have a couple hundred of these aircraft on order, so they are going to be flying around the skies for some time to come. The A-220 is said to have the most sophisticated cockpit of any Bus to date, and it has the widest economy class seats of any commercial jet aircraft, which should appeal to travelers since cramped seating is one of the major complaints of airline passengers. Virtualcol is said to be coming out with the A-220 100 and 300 series, I expect it will be the usual Virtualcol offering, ok for what it is, and inexpensive, the screenshots at the website only show the external model at the mom…

I have P3DV3 but I am not sure if it'll run AMD Athlon ii x2 ATI Radeon 3000 6GB RAM

Hello, please someone can help me A continues line appeared on my desktop screen and I don’t know the reason please advise why George

P3DV4.4. Content comes with a Commander 114, which is basically the Carenado unit. I have been asked by a user to take a look at the Century autopilot... and am finding that the Heading and Pitch switches appear to be interlocked and fighting each other. If I push Heading with Pitch ON, it switches OFF and if I push Pitch with Heading ON, it switches off. Has anyone looked at this, and possibly found a workaround?

Hi All, Just trying to get some ideas from the P3D population as to the best/optimal mappings that folks use for their joystick. I'm fully open to suggestion & ideas as to what setups/profiles work best. I do understand that it could be different for everyone, but looking to see if there's any sort of consensus for certain items, such as flaps, spoilers, landing gear,etc. Thanks for sharing your ideas, Mike

Hi, After discussion with @Egbert Drenth ,I have provided my own version of the AI2Utl tool. This version uses the same configuration files as in version 1.0.0.5, with small changes: - Repaint search are based on the "CAR" item, optionally if not found, then it looks in the "OPER" field - Configurable max amount of repaints - It does not validation on the AI models. For me, spaces above the [flight.x] was not affecting UtlimateTrafficLive. For the models, it is better to you AI-Aircraft Editor to find model problems. - Runs faster You can find the source code and release on github: https://github.com/vrouleau/Ai2Utl/re…

Hi all, Today I tried to go to LFPO to install a scenery, but found out that the stock LFPO performance is very bad. 5 to 6 FPS. If I go to LFPG stock I get 30 fps also way lower if I go to any other area on the globe. Did anyone encountered the same issue, and managed to fix? Thanks in advance

Are there any liveries for the sky simulations md-11 v2?

Hi, I'm currently using P3Dv4 (v4.4) on a multi-display system. I've read a lot of advice here on configuring the refresh rate of the monitors to obtain a stutter free experience in the sim. Problem is that I can only adjust the refresh rate on the primary monitor. I can only use 60Hz on the other two monitors. Will adjusting the refresh rate only on the primary monitor be sufficient? Kind regards, Dave

I noticed that there were two sets of centreline and edge lights on runway 18L/36R at FlyTampa Amsterdam Schiphol, and a quick check revealed that the default lighting was active on this runway. A quick fix with Airport Design Editor, but I just thought that I would check here to see if anyone else has this issue? I am using a slightly modified version that has runway 18L set up for take offs, and runway 18C and 18R for landings.

FsLabs Concorde X was for FSX and P3D v2/v3 RIP Now, I know FsLabs will have a Concorde X for P3D v4, but now that P3D v4 is out, people probably forgot about the plane. They haven't used it in so long, so it's probably dead by now. I switched to P3D v4 and the only addon I couldn't get was the Concorde. It's sad how the Concorde dies here. By the time FSL Is done with the A318 and A321 with sharklets and satcom, P3D v6 would be out. And, they'll have to completely remake the Concorde for the P3D that's in the future, and it'll probably be done when P3D v8 is out. Goodbye to a legacy. 😥

I am not able to locate HyperThreading in my BIOS I have an Intel i7-4790K processor. Would it be under OC Tweaks? Could it be called something else such as Intel Speed Step Technology or Intel Turbo Boost Technology?

Is there a King Air 350 that will work in P3D V4? I'd be happy with a basic version. I'm not interested in the Carenado version due to the usual bad reviews of its systems and I don't think I'll live long enough for the release of the MilViz version.

Hello I recently purchased Aerosoft‘s A320 Professional for P3D. It supported P3DV4.3 only, which was fine for me. Unfortunately, the latest version for V4.3 is still quite buggy. Most flights sooner or later end up with sudden faulty flight maneuvers while being enroute or on approach. But my hope for a more or less bug-free version for V4.3 was in vain. The latest version (which promises solutions to the most severe problems) requires V4.4 to run. In other words I am forced to update my sim to V4.4 if I want to successfully use this aircraft. That‘s a no go for me and I consider giving up on Aerosoft aircraft addons completely. Does anybody have similar exper…

hi guys, these days I fly almost exclusively military fast jets, helicopters and some general aviation birds. I am also now exclusively P3Dv4. I recently purchased a gift certificate for my grandson to spend an hour in a Delta Air Lines flight simulator. (birthday present). Not sure yet whether we will do the 737-800 or the 777. These are the real sims used to train airline pilots. Anyway, I now own an hour in one of those. I have done the 777 before, so hoping to do the 737. heres my question. I presently dont have ANY commercial airliners on my sim installed. However, would like to get my 12 year old at least a little P3D time before we go play…

I know this was talked about times and times again, but I have a one quick question as I never really moved anything around until now as I got a new SSD. My understanding is that any addon scenery which can't be deleted within the P3D client is xml based. In order to move it, I have to physically move the scenery folder to a new directory and update the xml with a new path? Should expect any possible complications?

Hi guys, aafter changing my GPU i expierience some problem with the outogen. After desending while landing, it is blurry with no autogen objects (houses, trees). In order to solve it i have to point the view down and wait. I have ORBX GLOBAL, VECTOR, OPEN LC and some regions. It happens during day or night. Mu sistem specs are i7 6700K OC 4.5, EVGA RTX 2070 and 16GB of RAM. I've already tried deleting my P3d.cfg Any solution? Thanks in advance

When I have V-pilot open with P3D, If I click on the V-pilot window,P3D pauses - which means I stop flying. I remember there is a way to click off screen and keep P3D running. AmI correct? If so, where is that setting found?

Hi there, never had this issue in the past. Now with 4.4 i have some problems with FTX Airports within FTX regions. So far i spottet EGHI within FTX England and EGPB within FTX Scottland. The order of the sceneries in the scenery biblio seems ok. ORBX libs ORBX airport ORBX region My FTX Central 3, Library and all FTX stuff are up to date. I also tried to uninstall / reinstall the airports / verifying the files without success I tried to disabling the airport BGLs within the FTX region Scenery folder. Also without success. Some Pictures: EGHI EGPB Any ideas??

Hi, when ever I load I to p3d all my textures are black and it slowed down when i removed tomato shade but us still happening Alfie

Hi, I've noticed that I'm getting slightly higher frame rates when using P3Dv4.4 in windowed mode as opposed to "full-screen" mode. Can anyone explain the technicalities of this to me please? I have understood from various postings in this forum that in P3Dv4 the "full-screen" mode is not a real full-screen mode as in other shooter games, but is basically a windowed mode with only the title bars removed from the windows. If this is the case, how is it that I'm seeing lower frame rates when using the "full-screen" mode? Surely both modes should yield the same frame rates, or am I missing something? Thanks! Kind regards, Dave

Hi, I am running P3 v4 and would like to keep the PMDG FMC on my 2nd monitor all the time, without having to move it every time when I start P3. Just like to keep it there even when P3 is not running. I would appreciate your help. Bernd

Hello, after update from version 4.2 to 4.3 I have totally blurry textures upon cruising and arrival. On version 4.2 I've never had any problem with anything. It was absolutely new clean install. I'm using ORBX, REX, etc.. Today I was testing when the textures becomes blurry.. Before my departure from any airport, the textures seems to be fine and working as well, but immediately after takeoff with any aircraft, textures starts changing like they're stopped loading or just loading very very very slowly. These are photos of my textures before update to 4.3.. https://ctrlv.cz/WV8G https://ctrlv.cz/d9kl And These are photos of my textures af…
