Hey folks, I was hand flying the approach into SXM last night with the PW version of the Captain Sim 757. After disconnecting the autopilot it felt like the flight dynamics were very "floaty" for lack of a better term and was hard to keep steady. In comparison to something like the PMDG 737 where the plane feels very solid and is conducive to small adjustments, this needed more yoke to move at all, then when it did it almost side slipped back and forth. Kind of like a feather floating side to side as it comes down. Very odd for a big airliner. Anyone else experience this and have any suggestions?

I have Orbx KGPI and have only flown in and out of it a few times. The first few were fine but the last 2 times I went in there, there were elevation issues. It was almost like there were default textures sitting on top of the airport and some of the buildings, cars, etc were sunk into the ground. I know this used to happen at airports when running Orbx vector, but I disabled vector about a year ago. I haven't installed anything new outside of a few airports in a long time. What could have caused this and what should I do to fix? Thanks!

The following airports now have Sode available: Stockholm Arlanda San Diego Airport Dubrovnik MBS International Airport Idaho Falls Regional Airport Glacier Park International Airport Good news.

Beta thread for issues specific to Prepar3D. New for Version 2 AI Controller now provides gate-to-gate control of FSX and P3D AI aircraft during all phases: push-back, taxi-out, takeoff, departures (e.g., SIDs), enroute (e.g., jet routes), arrivals (e.g., STARs), approach (e.g., procedures), final approach, landing, taxi-in and parking. AIController “flies” the AI (instead of slewing), so AI movement looks realistic, such as during crosswind landings. The user can select “on-the-fly” how particular runways are used at an airport for both landings and departures (e.g., 16L for landing, 16R for departure). Expanded AI traffic density tool that minimize…

Hello, Is it please any specific order in AddonorganizerP3D4 or P3D library for faster loading or probably better performans ? Please Advise. Geo

Hi I'm looking for a plane that is different than the 737, 747 and 757 ... I do not want FMC but something else as a new challenge But please no Cessna

Hi all, Is there a forum here for the Fly the Maddog X? I had a bad experience from the original forum and prefer not to use them. Paid nearly $100.00 for the Maddog X and can't get no support. Ken.

Anyone have Thrustmaster MFD's mapped to P3d F-22 Raptor MFD's?, if so, how? I tried with Spadnext, for some reason i couldn't get it to work. I probably screwed up somewhere along the line in configuring the LVAR in the "Add Event" section in Spadnext I asked about it on their forum with no response yet.. I was able to see my thrustmaster Pushbutton 16 mapped to Raptor PMFD Pushbutton 1 / then using "normal pushbutton config." in "Add Event" I changed "set" value form 0-1 upon "short press", with no joy. Not sure if i needed to set a condition. What am i missing? Any Ideas would be much appreciated.

Hi i am working on some photoscenery for France bordering to Italy. I use the "EUR" source that seem to be a source that use different providers depending on country. The problem is that for areas in a tile that include both France and Italy it adds BMP files for Italy in its own sub folder but never compiles it to BGL unlike with France where it adds BMP files but also compile them to BGL. I want the Italy BMP files to convert to BGL as well. Am I missing a setting? Is it possible now to do it manually. I used zoom level 18 so I dont want to go back and do everything from the beginning. much appreciate any help guys By the way, the result for France is abs…

Here is what I did in order not having to mess with manually installing General aviation models and flightplans along side Alpha India's new One Click Install manager. I had un-installed UTL before adding AIG ai. after using the AIG program to install AI models and flightplans. I set P3D's airline traffic to 3% and GA to 0% (since AIG gave me any general aircraft). I decided to re-install UTL and disabled all UTL airlines and left UTL's general aviation at 100% In P3D traffic setting I ended up setting General Aircraft at about 35%. I like this setting (is quite acceptable). I agree the GA from UTL do not quite look as good as the Airline models, …

Hi. Anyone got any ideas or pictures how I could make a collective lever to start to learn how fly helicopters? I've got a joystick and saitek rudder pedals. I saw a guy a Cosford flying a helicopter with a simple joystick, rudder pedals and a length of drain pipe, but I didn't see what the drain pipe was controlling or what bit of kit it was connected too. Thanks

Can someone explain to me what is so special about the "Addon XML" method of scenery installation? Is there a reason why LM could not have simply moved the scenery.cfg file to an external location, and thereby avoid having to use additional software to change the order in the Scenery Library? Since installing P3D v4, only two of my addons were installed using the new method (Aerosoft Heathrow Professional and Gibraltar Professional). However, it annoyed me that I could not move these from the top of the Scenery Library, so I deleted the "Addon XML" config file, and manually added entries for both of them to the Scenery Library. As far as I can tell, they are working fine.…

Hi all I have Active sky for P3D and Rex sky force but I am using both at the same time if it can or gives wrong data and if in the case can not be used at the same time which would recommend me to use as a meteorological engine thanks to all and thanks for helping

My P3D v4.4 just CTD'd in the middle of editing GSX2's SODE jetways, and when I restarted it all my addons except SODE and FSUIPC are gone from the addons' menu. Help?

Hi guys. I notice that some addon airports have a problems with white ground in low visibility. It looks like problems with reflections. For example that problem have RFScenerybuilding LDZA and some other airports. You can check this topic to see how it looks: https://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/117284-runway-in-low-viz/ Anybody found solution Thanks

I seem to have found a new issue with the new windshield rain effects updates on A2A aircraft like my C-172 and T-6 when using the latest release of P3Dv4.4. When I want to use my virtual mouse cursor in VR it will not penetrate the windshield as it sees it as a cockpit surface. You might ask "why is this a problem?" Well when I want to interact with a pop up menu like ATC or my GPS they always are set to open just in front of the windshield and because of this it is not possible to interact with the pop up window since the virtual mouse cursor stops at the windshield now. I have confirmed it's an issue with the new feature because my P-51 hasn't been updated and …

Last night I was attempting a flight emanating from FSDT's KJFKv2 which I have, but could not locate a single Heavy gate for the PMDG 747-8i. The drop-down choices, unlike other airports I have flown from in the -8i, are all vaguely named GA Ramp Large, or Small, or whatever, no proper gate demarcation say like UK2000's EGCC or EGLL. But when I select anything with the word 'large' in it, I get shunted to an apron with loads of other smaller aircraft around, not to a gate I want, as in the case of the pax version -8i. Ad then GSX----again another FSDT product----pops up with a red flag 'blah-blah..............too small for this aircraft'. Anyone any ideas how to actu…

Hi, Just had a minor Samsung update via the W10 update channel which I allowed. Not sure if it is related but now when starting P3D it crashes right before showing the scenario screen. Appcrash shows that the Backgroundtaskhost.exe is the culprit. I have had this sometimes before after a days work on the pc. A fresh restart would normally solve it. Now it doesn't. Any suggestions on how to best approach this? Thanks!

I just bought VIDP and WSSS from Imaginesim, and when I spawn into those airports my aircraft is just sitting in a field. No airport, just grass. It loaded the jetways but I can't seem to figure out why the airport won't generate. I've uninstalled and re-installed several times but nothing changes. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

Hi all, I am using the Alberto PA38 and i keep losing control of my control surfaces. The yolk is turning but when i look at the surfaces they are not moving. The trim also moves around without touching it. It seems to be an intermittent problem that sometimes happens on the ground, other times when i am flying. I have turned off damage in the p3d menu to see if it was that but it still happens. there are no failures either. Any advice?

Resent transition to P3DV4 and loving it. I have a plethora of US domestic pay ware airports because that is most of my simming. For my long haul ports in FSX I used manly freeware because I knew I wouldn't visit them as often. I have several for FSX by Mr. Ray Smith and others that are quite nice and would like to put them into my P3DV4 to use for my PMDG QOTSII Atlas Air liveries. The "read me" file on these always states for FSX so would anyone know if these would affect P3DV4 in a negative way? I have several Pacific Air Force Bases Atlas flies to along with destinations in Japan, Korea, Australia and even States side.( I enjoy flying the troops home:) I was wo…

Hi guys, Hello fellow flight friends I have a question. Just installed p3dv4 and my a2a c172. Have it for years but now I'm setting up my stuff again. I installed Linda and I have a thrustmaster warthog stick and throttle and also a CH yoke. My question is: does someone have a profile for me to use? I know there is an a2a Linda profile but I'm looking for a frofile that's fits my hardware also so that most funxtions/keys are already assigned to buttons. Thing is that I'm having real trouble binding so many functions to my hardware, I don't know where to start actually. I have flaps, axes, light programmed to buttons but there are sooo ma…

Just a quick note to let users of Aerosoft Heathrow Professional know that the AFD file included in the package has the same error with two gates as the FSX/P3D version. In short, Gate 258L and 258R have been designated as 285L and 285R. This can easily be corrected with Airport Design Editor.
