Hello, I have just updated P3D v4 to v4.4 Client and Content. Everything is working fine except the Lockheed Martin F-16 When I load it, there is no aircraft displayed, just an engine noise. I updated to the latest Nvidia driver and deleted my previous shaders folder at C:\Users\<ME>\AppData\Local\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\Shaders No change! All other aircraft display just fine. PBR related? Can anyone please advise? Thanks in anticipation Andrew

Hi all , i was looking to purchase a Decent gaming pc for under 900£ to play p3d on ( recently used my laptop and it was very laggy). I was wanting to buy a second hand one from eBay about a year old with i5 8600k Gtx 1060 6gb 16g ddr3 ram ASU’s motherboard I was wondering if these specs are good enough to run p3d ( with aircraft such as aero soft a320 , aseosoft airports , weather (active sky) and orbx ) If this isn’t good enough could u recommend any brand new pcs to run p3d on ? Thanks

I was wondering if anyone has noticed a performance issue in terms of frames and therefore micro stutters with Flighbeam's KPHX since upgrading to P3Dv4.4? I have all the Flightbeam airports and have had no issues with holding in excess of 30 fps for my Vsync'd 30 Hz monitor including KPHX. However since I have upgraded to P3Dv4.4 which I am very happy with I can no longer maintain the 30 fps with only this one airport. All my Orbx and other FB airports are working as well or better then they did in v4.3 but this one particular airport is now not behaving as it did. As a note I run Orbx Global and Base with this airport but not Vectors. As I said it used to be fine …

Hello! I have been experiencing an issue where default autogen buildings are spawned onto the airport area and in the terminal to the left of RWY 31. I compared the aiport with the Demo one, which didn't have this issue, and it seems that the KLGA_LIB file is the cause. I have had this issue since I first installed the scenery back in July and I posted the issue in the DD Support Forum, but Stanislaw didn't know what was causing the weird spawning of the autogen. Can this be fixed with ADE? Screenie of the issue: https://imgur.com/a/gbYAK2G Regards Viggo

Hi, Does anyone know if the A2A ranges is compatible with P3Dv4.4? I'm having issues with the V tail Bonanza. Andrew

Hello, hopefully this is the right forum. I am currently owning Rex Skyforce 3D and ASN. I would also like to use Rex 4 Texture Direct in oder to improve runway and water textures. Will the installation of Rex 4 mess up with my existing Rex Sky Force 3D textures (e.g. clouds)? Thx! Regards Andreas

Hello, I'm running P3d v4 under win7 with alot of addons. Unfortunately although my hardware is top notch I dont get a totally smooth sim experience. The graphics settings are already reduced way too much. My thought is now to install everything new under win10 in hope to get better performance. What do you guys think? Is win10 better? My hardware: I7-8700K at 4,8Ghz, Geforce RTX 2070, 16GB Ram, Fast SSD. Thanks! Best regards Andreas

Hi Guys I am having trouble with the Quality Wings 146 Dispatcher. I set up my payload and fuel, press save payload, go in the aircraft, and It doesn't seem to work For example, my fuel in the dispatch is set to around 8,000 Kg, but in the game no matter what I do the aircraft always has around 10,000 Kg. I cant really tell if the payload is loading in correctly but Im sure the fuel is not Am I doing something wrong or is there a fix around this?

Hi FFTF Dynamic users: Just want to comment to everybody, that I just got today by return e-mail the confirmation that FSPS is working on its product FFTF Dynamic for P3Dv4 to make it compatible with P3Dv4.4, and that it will be released soon. I'm particularly waiting for it to move from v4.3 to v4.4. Cheers, Ed

I have posted on the Toga forum, but as posts sometimes take a while to respond to, I thought I'd throw it out here too.sI have updated Envshade to the latest version, which I understand to be P3d v4.4 compatible. Unfortunately, each time I reactivate a scenery in the library, or install a new scenery, the bright areas of ground textures are 'blown out', too white, over exposed. I then have to reinstall Envshade to correct the issue, which incidentally, doesn't always work first time. I had to reinstall Envshade twice before it corrected the issue the last time I had the problem. This may or may not have any connection to Envshade, I am just reporting what has happened. D…

im on v4.2 so far the carenado phenom 300 is the only one i own so if anyone can recommend any other AC please do so .... thanks in advance ....

Hello, I noticed recently that my aircrafts (PMDG 737, FSLABS A320 and Qualitywings 787) are positioned completely wrong on all gates on all addon airports (EDDL, EDDF, EDDK, EDDM) that I'm using within Germany. I dont have any other addon airports so I cant tell if the problem is also outside of germany. Additionally I noticed that the position of the SODE jetways of these addon airports is completely wrong. They are for example located half inside the buildings. I did not have this problem before so the installation of a certain addon must have caused this. I'm using P3D v4.3 with the following addons: Just Sim EDDL Aerosoft Megaairport Frankfurt 2.0 Ae…

Hi all - I just noticed something unusual as I am testing out a flight on a fresh clean install of 4.4. I have always utilized the AI limiter in prior versions which worked great. I generally keep it around 100 aircraft and I use AIFP flight plans. I have never had any performance issues with those settings. I am getting really poor performance on this current flight using the TFDI 717 which seemed really odd. Pretty clear WX over sparse area and seeing 20 fps or less when I am used to 40-50+. For kicks, I disabled AI traffic within P3D menu and boom...back up to 60+ FPS and smooth as can be. I messed around with the traffic limiter in FSUIPC and even setting a limi…

Hi, I upgraded to an RTX 2070 from a GTX 1060 (no performance boost at all, in P3D, but thats besides the point). I have an issue where, unless Vsync/Tripple Buffering is enabled, whenever I move the mouse view around in the Cockpit and let go, the bottom half of the screen will "flicker" black for a split second. On my GTX 1060 I never used Vsync and did not have this problem. A driver issue maybe? I do not have this flickering in XP11 or Battlefield 5 etc.. but for example in the "origin" app it has also happened.

Hi all, With a 65” display as front screen in my 737 real size cockpit the upper half of the display cannot be seen. Is there a way to use only the lower half of the screen for Fs in Fullscreen without everything being flat ? This will save fps... Thanks, Gerard

After flying FSX since day 1, my system crashed (ironically while cloning my C: drive) so I decided to start afresh with P3D4. Poking around in the SimObjects folder I find numerous aircraft that do not appear in the selection GUI such as "Airliner", Goose, MV-22, etc. Are they only available to 'Pro" license users, did I screw up the install, or am I missing something obvious?

Hi. I'm sorry for posting here, but I've tried on the official website and not got a good response (if any). I've read the manual, installed the software and created a flight plan. Because of the settings in ProATC here, I would expect (when I create a ProATC flight plan), that files would appear where expected in the list on that screenshot - but there are no *.pln files. When I have P3D running, and I right-click on my flightplan to say that I want to fly now, I takes me to P3D, but it does not load the flight plan into P3D, and I was expecting that... I was expecting it to load into the FMC as well, but again, nothing. I suppose I can't be surprised bec…

Will this ever be fixed? Anyone have a temp fix? Thanks. Jose

Hi, I have a simple question. Hopefully it will be simple to answer. Is performance in V4.4 better than in V4.3? Thanks!

Does anyone use wireless speakers on their P3D set-up? I tried them before a few years ago and found I had a slight problem with lag. I assume things have moved on. Looking to eliminate cabling as far as possible.

I am currently in the process of downloading P3D V4.4 (Early Christmas Present!)...I know nothing about the program, other than it is supposed to beat FSX hands down...I have been trying to learn what I need to know on some of the Forums, and I have been seeing a lot of warnings about using non 4.4 approved/certified aircraft and scenery...Even some warnings not to use anything below 4.4 at all...Could someone clarify this to me and perhaps recommend a few freeware planes/scenery that are 4.4 ready? Sure would appreciate it! Thanks...

Has anyone tried the recently released version for P3Dv4 of the Quality Wings BAe-146 series?. Impressions?. Cheers, Ed

Hey all, I found nothing on this at Prepar3D website. I am having issues with V4.4. I need to revert back to V4.3. I did not save the installer (12Gigs) so I am at a loss. Prepar3D told me to download the Legacy Client. I did. Uninstalled 4.4 Client, installed 4.3 Client. Sim boots up, then blinks out to desktop. No notices, nothing. The Client file (MSI Installer) is 256 megs. The full installer is 12 Gigs. How can 256 megs bring all of 4.3 back? If only we had the option to redownload the entire 4.3 installer... Does anyone have any recommendations? Any advice? Can the 'Client' file download the legacy packages of the sim? Do I uninstall every…
