Well, I just saw this, and it has orange sticks??? I'm guessing it was a SafeDock that's missing something, but not too sure. SafeDock in KLAX works fine, so I doubt it's an issue with all FSDT airports

Real world pilot here, Ive used FSx and recommend it as most do in aviation. Heard some chatter about prepard. I would like to start to use p3d except, I haven't been able to get a clear answer on how to transfer GA planes from FSx and more importantly the lessons found in Fsx (the ones commented by rob ) ((were you can read and then fly after. I like many real life pilots find this as an invaluable resource that i havnet heard from any flight sim. This is the only reason why i tell students to use FSx! Does this sim include those lessons or is there a way to load them if i legally own both software? Thanks PS Ive never used add ons or try to chang…

I have a quick question with regard to buying Predar3d? I am a little confused as to which licence i should buy. I am a leisure flyer and also a bit also dabbiling in scenery design and more specifically AFCADS. So can you advise which one is best to purchase?

Anybody else get degraded Anti Aliasing in the sim from the camera shaking etc? Any idea on how to combat this?

Are there any PDF tutorials for the FSL A320-X available to download, or do I need to purchase the aircraft first?

Recently bought the highly touted da62 from the said developer. seems like a decent product, however, there’s very little in the way of documentation other than references to the docs of the real thing. In addition there seems to be no public support and I couldn’t find on the official website anything other than promotional information. Now, I have some questions, issues (ctd’s among them) and other stuff I’d like to know. Is there any channel of communication in that regard?

Hi All Had to format and re-install everything (long story, my foul up 😒). Anyway after many many hours all up and running as before, or so I thought... I’m now getting black flickering every 10secs or so, yet when I alt/enter into full screen it disappears and I have a stable image. Anyone any ideas? Regards Alan

Hi everybody I have considered buying PMDG 747-400 v3 for P3D v4 but I think the price is too high! So I wanted to hear what others say at such a high price 139,99 US$ Can it really be right for an add-on that the price should be so high. So I know very well that it has been difficult to make these aircraft, and it has required a lot of work I greatly appreciate their work but if it had just cost 69.99$ then I would have been happy with their work. Regards Startour

Hi all, I recently updated my P3D Version to Version 4.4, I did this by uninstalling the old client and installing the new one, as I saw reccomended by a google search (it was my first time updating P3D) I have also taken the update as an opportunity to use the new update for the Leonardo Maddog X. However, interestingly, trying to load the Maddog in with PBR Textures causes my Graphics card to Crash. I get a popop from Windows claiming: "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered", which subsequently crashes P3D. I have had this issue before and fixed it by deleting my generated filed, however in this case un-ticking the PBR textures option for the Leo…

Again.... Yesterday, resuming a flight to Costa Rica, I startup P3D, and the splash screen goes away, and P3d process hangs at ~650Megs. word not allowed, what did I do this time.... This time I had not done any scenery changes in between the last session save. So I proceed with the usual revert of old scenery.cfg ,no change. Remove %APPDATA%/Local&Roaming/LM folders. no change. Rename ProgramData/LM. Works ! ah... swap exe.xml. Still hangs swap dll.xml. Works! ah... Turn RAASPRO.dll off. Works! ah.... Turns out, I did do a change. I installed Office 2019. replacing my Office 2016 installation, but without MS…

Hello, i am running P3Dv4.4 on a i7 8700k and a GTX 1080 TI on 3 TV Screens connected via DisplayPort to HDMI via nVidia Surround. Now, when i stretch P3Dv4 over all 3 TV i have at Night very low fps. When i let P3D run only on 1 Screen i have fps about 50. The Question is if maybe anyone know if i will get better fps when i use the TH2GO ? It would be nice to know bevore i install the driver for the TH2GO . Maybe anyone can answer? Matthias

I know it's not directly connected to P3D. I've just discovered free Little NavMap flight-planning tool and wanted to "improve elevation data" only to discover that GLOBE elevation data is currently unavailable. Hope this is due to the (temporary) US government shutdown [lapse in appropriation]? Can someone legally share his downloaded copy of GLOBE data? Knowing Trump, this shutdown can last for quite some time... Thanks for info, Andrej EDIT : There's already an answer in the dedicated AVSim forum, sorry for bothering. Hoping shutdown won't last long.

I currently own REX texture direct and soft clouds, and I am looking for recommendations to replace the default weather generation engine in P3D. Additionally, compatibility with FSX without having to buy separate software would be great, but is not required. Additionally, since I already own REX texture direct, I have no use for any software's texture addons and would prefer a product that doesn't have them so I am not paying for something I already have. What recommendations do you all have?

This is no discussion about HT=On/Off! All given AM-settings apply to an 8 core processor without HT. I just wanted to share my experience with others, because it took me a whole week to get P3D running correct on my system because of a simple "mistake". My system: i7-9700K @ 4.9 GHz (8 cores no HT) - no HT available for this processor RTX 2080 RAM 16GB DDR4 3200 M.2 SSD 970 Evo Win 10 M.2 SSD 970 Evo P3D My P3D-setup: P3D 4.4 Orbx Global Orbx Vector Orbx LC EU/NA/SA ORBX AU FS Global 2010 My plan was to use an AM for P3d of 254 (11111110) or 252 (11111100) leaving out core 0 and maybe core 1 too, because 6 cores should be fine for …

Hello, i never had this problem until v4.4 but everytime i start up p3d it starts up a default scenerio randomly. Also when im trying to the change aircrafts airport weather and time it freezes and crashes.... very annoying PLEASE HELP!!!

Dear: I just purchased and installed Vertx DA 62 in my P3D v4. But unfortunately can't find the plane in the aircraft list. Please help. Regards, Haseen Ahmad.

Can anyone check if the Tomotashade works in V4.4, seems not working. And I can't apply any preset.

Hello everybody, when i operate aircraft doors, the ATC window closes itself. Is there a fix for this? Thanks!!

I have had this problem for a while and it is starting to become annoying because i do not know how to fix it. If i run P3D with anything under 60FPS or unlimited it becomes very stuttery. For instance if i set FPS to 59fps it stutters if i leave it at 60 or unliited it is buttery smooth. As this is annoying i would like to cap P3D out at 30-31 fps. Having VSync or triple buffering on or off does not help. The monitor i am using is a Acer XB321HK i also have a Acer X34 same results on both monitors 😞 Nvidia driver is 416.34 Appreciate any help

Hello all,  I am planning to move from 1080p to 1440p. My systems runs the fslabs a320, P3dv4.3 very well at 1080p. I average 40fps on aerosoft EGLL with most settings at highest levels (i use 30hz vsync, so its very smooth without any hickups or stuttering). My system specs are 8600k at 5.0ghz, gtx 1070 (ocd to 1070 ti performance), 16gb ram. The big question is...how much of a performance hit will i take on moving to 1440p on the current system? Will the 1070 handle 1440p and maintain 30fps with the fslabs a320 specifically?  Thanks

I recently downloaded Tomato Shade for my sim and keep receiving the "P3D folder could not be found" error. Anyone know how I might be able to fix this? ( I have version 27 installed.)

Actualmente dispongo del B737 NGX y B747-400 para el FSX-SE y recientemente me he comprado el P3D v4 mi pregunta es la siguiente, ¿a que precio me saldría cada uno de esos dos modelos que tengo pero para el P3D v4?. Muchas gracias por adelantado Jesús García

Hi, It's been several times I cannot access to hovercontrol.com Did the site shut down? Or is it just me?

Hi: I have received several opinions and suggestions as to the order in which the installers place the UTX V2 for P3d V4.4 into the Scenery Library, so I thought I would ask again; My installers have placed the files at the very top of the scenery library (Slot 2,3,4, etc)...Is this correct? I have numerous Orbx airports (no Global products)...The installer has placed them below the UTX files...Can anyone advise on correct file order? Or, does it even make any difference? Thanks a lot!

GSX doesn't work in KCLT and KSDF. I've tried a reinstall, but it didn't fix the issue. When I press any option in GSX for either of these airports, let's say, "Request Boarding", no option pops up for an airline, and doesn't give me an option to operate the jetways. Here's what it looks like: You can see, all GSX options are gone, and no vehicles appear. All other FSDT airports work fine, (KLAS, KJFK, KMEM, etc)
