The Prepar3d Forum

There are several threads on this forum relating to P3d pauses and stutters. I had them too. I blamed ORBX like so many others did, and I have pretty much all of ORBX scenery and their Global, Vector, and LC North America and Europe. Additionally, I fly a lot near Orlando so I also have the new City Scene Orlando. I would get relatively long pauses several times at critical flight situations (landing, etc), changing views, bad weather and clouds, etc., and it really annoyed me since my system is a state of the art Jetline system. Well, today, I tried one more idea I read about on this forum, and that idea worked. I tested it by loading KMCO (long load time, …

From Justflight. I am looking at this, anyone use it and recommend it to me. and is it worth the bucks.

I was looking for a way to permanently place pop up windows in VR so not to have to move them or run into the issue where the new rain effects capability on many aircraft prevents the cursor from reaching through the glass to be able to select or move the pop up windows. Working with LM developers I was provided with a few lines of code to add to the cfg files to do just that. These additions do not change the positioning of the 2D windows, only VR pop ups. Since I have been experimenting with various values I thought I would share some of my results. I have manged to relocate the default ATC VR window in all aircraft by modifying the missionpanel.cfg file and many aircra…

Hi guys, I'll cut right to the chase, I have just changed over to P3D v4.4 from FSX, which I have run since day 1 in 2006. And all the other versions before that. Never had a problem I couldn't solve in FSX, and got to know the inner workings rather well. Now, here is the problem, every time I run FTXCentral, it puts the Vector libraries at the top of the scenery order. Everything under that is in the right order. I run Scenery Configuration Editor and move the Vector libraries to right above my Pilots mesh. Then above the Vector entries (5) there is the default scenery, then Orbx, then other third party stuff above Orbx Libraries. All is good until I r…

Hey guys! Just noticed this black texture while on final approach of 26R. Any fix for this? thanks, francis

Hello all, Just a little something that I thought I would share with you all. if you're interested in seeing how hard your landings are (for *every* landing!) here's a little Lua script for FSUIPC (I believe you need the payware version for it to work!) I can't take full credit for it, as I found the basic version elsewhere. I just added a few lines here and there. Basically, every time you land a little box will pop up at the side of the screen showing you how hard your touchdown is in Feet Per Minute. The box will then disappear after 15 seconds. Simply copy this code into a text file and save it as "ipcReady.lua" in your FSX/P3D Modules folder. Start…

hello I believe that I read in one of the posts regarding the updated QW ultimate BAE 146 that there were some new HQ cockpit textures in the pipeline, has any seen anything on these textures or was it me dreaming, I have installed the HQ outside textures they look great and seem to work fine, also its nice to see that just flight are updating their BAE 146 to the pro version I own both Peter https://www.justflight.com/product/146-professional

Hi all- I got my first repaint installed in UTL thanks to some great help here. Now that I have the general idea, I'd like to know how to ID generic ai aircraft in order to replace them at a selected airport. As you can see in the attached pic, I need to find out what to replace those two Daedalus ac with at KSFO. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1HmRRi1ujBR4rxRlzTXTr1fpfWmqR6Wgc/view?usp=sharing What's the procedure (or tool) used to do this? Thanks, Mark

I tried to register WideView 64 using a wrong serial number and now anytime I start P3D v4 I have an error that WideView registration information not found or corrupted and P3D gets frozen at startup. I have no chance to register with correct serial number. Is there a way to cleanup registration details for WideView in P3Dv4? //Mod: removed gmail link

*me wondering aloud* It's a small thing, but I wonder if GSX could include repeated trips/longer trailers for the cargo/baggage handlers like they already do with the pax and fuel, seems a bit unrealistic to load up 8 ULDs on a 747 when it can hold 30, or about 20 bags on a 737 when clearly there's more than 120 passengers. Also maybe more variation in the ULDs and bags (whoops, read FSDT's posts, apparently this is harder, so...more colours instead of different models?), I'm sure they can do this when they already have pretty varied passengers, it'd add so much more to the immersion.

So uh...what do I do with the .dat file? Can't find anything online explaining what/where to install it or...?

Having much difficulty getting the Elite 64 software to appear in the 'Add-On' menu in P3D v.4.4 (had the Elite AP 3000 avionics panel working once). Installed recent FSUIPC module and Elite driver a number of times with no success. Suspect a startup conflict somewhere. If there's a way to attach some *.cfg *.txt files please let me know Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance My system: i5 6600 Skylake; Asus Z170 MB, EVGA FE 1070 8GB; 32GB Corsair DDR4; Samsung SSD 1GB NVMe; Intel 500 GB; 3x Hitachi 2TB HDD

I have blurry ground textures and i also put my settings on ultra and no change

So, i found the base pack for the Project Airbus a321 with winglets, in the install manual it said it needed atleast 1 livery because it doesnt come with it, so i installed a livery, and what i already thought: its not there, no a321... nothing could someone help me? i just want the thomas ruth/project airbus a318/19/20/21 with sharklets, i also have issues installing liveries, is this because i'm on prepar3d? (P3DV4.2)

Using my trusty iPhone timer, I proceeded to see "exactly" what my load time was for ORBX's Orlando City Scene scenery.

Hello all! I got a problem for 2 days and cannot solve it,My Prepar3d V4 install is fresh on my computer.I moved from FSX and uninstalled it completely from my drives. When I start the Prepar3d V4, (I run it as Administrator) Splashscreen comes,it loads everything and after 100 % ,it disappears.Then it continues running on background I can see it from task manager Processes, also there is no active apps on Taskbar.I tried deleting generated files,Dll.xml exe.xml and even the Local,Roaming,Program data > Prepar3dv4 folders. It didnt solve my problem. My specs: System Information ------------------ Time of this report: 1/30/2019, 11:33:52 Machin…

Been trying to get hold of joshua at [email protected] I have sent dozens of emails over the past few months but without a reply back! I need my serial key sent again. Anyone been in recent contact?

I have Monument Valley installed -Orbyx-with all the relevant sceneries I have a “hole” in the apron at airstrip UT25- all other scenery OK I am sure I had this before but I have forgotten how I fixed it Can anyone help? xxd09

I get very mini stutters but visible and its annoying with chase plane Only when landing

I've got this 'thing' going on and I can't figure it out. Let me lay it out here and hopefully someone has seen something similar and can guide me. With different aircraft (A2A, PMDG and FSL) and with weather/sky software running (AS, ASCA and Rex Skyforce) after a certain amount of time I lose control of the aircraft. The control surfaces move, but have no effect. No other clues; no error message, no windows' sounds, nada. It seems to happen after a certain amount of time. Usually about 10 minutes. I've spent all day on this so far with no success. Hoping someone has seen this before and can reply. Thanks.

Good morning, Can someone please explain to me how the engine auto-start is supposed to behave? I find it very inconsistent. I have it mapped to a button on the Saitek flight quadrant, and... sometimes I push it, and the engine starts. Sometimes if I hold it down for a few seconds, it will start. Sometimes no matter what I do, it will not start. I am shutting down, by using the fuel cut-off, mapped to the "reverse" axes/button on the same Saitek. Hoping someone can shed some light. If there is a superior way to do this, please let me know. Thanks, Anthony

Good evening gents. I'm still using P3Dv3.4 I haven't been able to make the lens flare effect work uniformly across all views. The lens flare effect works beautifully from the Spot view, but in the VC (where I really want it to work even more so than Spot view), it is just a plain, no frill sun with no glare whatsoever. I have checked some of the camera defs and cfgs but I think I am missing something somewhere, because no view gives me a good, bright sun glare except for the Spot view. Can someone shed some light on where I can find the cfg settings for this? Would seriously enhance the effect of having the bright, setting/rising sun glare in your face if you'r…

Hi everyone. Even with 4.4 which is the best sim yet i still struggle a bit with terrain loading under heavy load. Nothing comes for free offcause and its quite natually i guess. I am still on the old [email protected] with DDR3 2400 ram and using the FSL A319 in combo with FTX England, FTX German is to much on my system. I need to reload textures on arrival twice (AS EDDK 4K) which made me wanna ask how those I9 handles terrain with a jet flight from one heavy area to the next in a complex aircraft like the FSLA320 series? Using FFTF at 8500 feet with a 0.6 Thanks Michael Moe

Im trying to find the Thomas ruth sharklets model, i cant find it anywhere...
