The Prepar3d Forum

Forget the overpriced, high heat 2080 TI, the GTX 2080 is the answer especially if upgrading from a 10X SLI system. As usual DO NOT OC your RTX 2080 but possibly get a 3rd party OC'd board. Really best IQ. Unlimited Frames. No VSync. 150 fps xCross. Cheers bs

Can someone please clarify the difference between REX SkyForce 3D and REX 4 Texture Direct? I used REX Essential Plus in Prepar3d v3, but this is not compatible with v4, so I need a new package. Please note that I am not looking for a real world weather product. What I need is something like REX Essential Plus that improves textures (water/sky/clouds etc), and also improves the dawn/dusk/night atmospheric effects. Anything else is a bonus. I thought that I might be able to get away with using the default textures and effects, but I really can't. They look rubbish at dawn and dusk when flying over my UK photoscenery, with a landscape that is far too bright when the sk…

Hi all, I have Flightbeam’s KSFO and love it (unfortunately SODE doesn’t work on pc)! I was debating either getting their KDEN or KIAD. I am planning on getting the PMDG 747-8 expansion along with one of these, just wondering which one you believe to be better. Regards, Simon S.

I am trying to install a scenery(http://vatjo.net/JO_Sceneries_VATSIM.zip) into "Addon Scenery" folder in P3D v4.4 (Clean Install) just like it was in V3, but am having issues. Seems like I am floating over the scenery below me, then it settles down and "lines up" but I am on the original runway below the scenery, and then I "crash" as I accelerate on the runway. It then reverts to the startup flight after a "soft" crash. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?

Hi! In P3D v4.4 a new strange flickering shadow appears on the taxiway parallell with rwy. 04 L. I use Justsim version of LFMN and ORBX global and Europe.

Ifly just released SP3 which includes the -8. How about that.

I'm having some trouble with getting vPilot to recognise the models installed using the new FLAI package. After installing the models, I start the flight simulator and enable the new FLAI add-on. However, when re-scanning the models, vPilot does not detect any changes, and I still only have the default list of planes. A (maybe) related problem was that after installing the models with dynamic lighting, p3d crashed on start-up every time. After reverting back to the models without dynamic lighting, things seem stable. I've tried searching around for information about getting the models recognised in vPilot, but no luck so far. Is anyone else getting this to …

Hi, i already got 4.4 on my pc. but now i have this problem with horizon texture. Here my problem. Thx for your help. https://imgur.com/a/fDNFWLF Ty for your help!

Seems like its an every few month question for me.... is it time to build a new system? With good results from the i9-9900k and the RTX2080TI, I am starting to think about it again. P3D is my main focus. I also do other gaming but I would build a system geared toward P3D. Power supply and HDD would carry over. Would plan on getting a new case. Budget is around $3k max but ideally closer to $2k. Would a new build be worth it? Current setup: i7 6700k 4.5 Ghz OC GTX 1080 Asus Z170 Deluxe 64GB 3200 mhz

I have around 25 add on airports so far. Some are better than others, for various reasons. What's the best, in your opinion? I am not asking which is your favorite because you fly in there in real life on a regular basis... but rather which has the highest quality replication of the real thing? Best textures, lighting etc etc.

I used the Envdir control panel to "Restore and Disable" Envshade (sp?). Now, my Leonardo Maddogs have internal texturing but the external view is skeletal. I just see the seating and cockpit. No wings, tail nor wheels. I did delete the contents of the shaders directory. Other aircraft are ok. I just wanted to compare the difference between having Evnshade and not having it in relation to the PBR texturing. Ideas? Should I just reinstall the FlytheMaddog X again?

For those using the useful Autogen Configuration Merger tool from Arno, it seems that it won´t be needed anymore in P3Dv4.4, as this latest version would come with native support to merge autogen descriptions with the main autogen files. Does anyone knows what has to be done to make this work (natively) in P3Dv4.4?. Cheers, Ed

This looks like an excellent, high quality scenery. Anyone tried it? Definitely getting my money...I've always wanted to go and see the pandas. Over at simmarket

There are so many kind, helpful and considerate people here. It is nice to see these behaviors lived out year round here rather than just these few days. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Can someone tell me if the detail settings (Autogen density/Scenery Complexity etc) are the same in P3D v4 as they were in P3D v3? If they are not, what would be the comparable settings in P3D v4 to match the Extremely Dense settings in P3D v3? I also note that my landing lights on the PMDG 737 NGX only seem to work if I have Dynamic Lighting enabled. Is this the only option, or can I get them to work with DL disabled?

Hi guys, After a while using Sky Force 3D and waiting for the abrupt weather sync update, I want to use custom weather.. Example: at EHAM I want to have snow and with low visibility.. I can search weathers but that just shows where the current searched weather are located.. Any idea's?

Hey i need some help! I am not sure where i should ask but im really annoyed cause ive tried everything so i haven't gone on p3d for a while but im back now and i noticed Something odd.On JustSim's Larnaca airport I don't see the apron lights. they just arent there, which is weird because their effect still exists. they illuminate the ground and even the cockpit when I approach them (dynamic lighting) but they dont 'physically' exist. I tried so many things in the settings and ive moved it up the scenery library hoping that was the problem. I am not sure what else to do. I am running Rex, orbx global,base, trees and global lights. But i am pretty sure i had thes…

Good evening, I noticed the past few times I have started up P3D, as I get to the scenario screen, I get an error message that states "Corrupted Download". The strange thing is, everything seems to work ok and I do not know what is actually corrupt. Any ideas on how to see what is causing the problem? Thanks (P3D 4.4)

This may be a post I'll have to make over on the FSL forums, but curious what the folks over here are experiencing. Im noticing bouncing between certain ac, it seems the VC for the FSL bus isnt as crisp as it should be. If I 'pop out' the PFD's they seem fine, its just viewing in VC mode doesnt feel as crisp. Does everyone notice the same or is this something I have mucked up graphics wise? Gonna post a screen shot shortly. https://imgur.com/AfDEFPh Edit: added screen shot

I am considering purchasing this add on for P3Dv4, since it's on sale for only $7.00, and wonder if anyone has had difficulty purchasing from this site. tks tc

I'm confused about exactly what navigation data is used by the DA62 G1000. I'm particularly interested in SIDS, STARS and Waypoints. What is used in the following situtions? 1) No Navigraph or FSAerodata subscription. 2) Current Navigraph Airac. 3) Current Navigraph Airac and FSAerodata Thanks in advance. Tom

It has been a while since I have used Vector in my sim because I thought it was too much of a resource hog. Generally speaking, in 4.4 have they made any improvements to performance? I am thinking of reinstalling it but am hesitant if it will reduce my performance. I am running 4.4 and fly the FSlabs primarily. The Vector I am currently using is from a dev that I am supposedly not supposed to mention in AVSIM (if that makes a difference). With that being said, would I be able to run both?

Just like to check with the community here if they know, besides FSPassanger (which is not yet ready for P3Dv4), another addon which foccoses on the pilots career more than on the economical side. Heinz

I own all of the Flightbeam US airports. However, in their download manager it only shows that I have KMSP and KIAD. When I click the other airports that I own, it takes me to the purchase page. Does this mean I am not on the latest versions? And if that is the case, what do I need to do in order to be on the latest versions that will show up in the manager? Thanks!

Hi everyone, Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. When using Vrisim in P3D v3, I can not change the position of the (un)docked fms/fmc/mcdu window. For the 737ngx i can move the panel by mouse. For other addons, the panel position and size matter, because mouse actions are needed and vrisim needs the coordinates. In P3D v2 vrisim worked well. is there anything indeed to do for P3D v3. Andy digital; do you have any idea? kind regards
