I am not going to go into too much detail as the video below explains a lot, but I will say that this isn't an issue with my monitor, this doesn't happen with any other program, and this only happens at night in and around populated areas. I have experienced this issue for months now with P3D V4 and I haven't found the cause, it isn't my graphics drivers, all of my other drivers are up to date, there are no software updates that would cause this. Any ideas?

Hi, I have p3dv4.4 and i went to install the qw 787. I set the destination folder to p3dv4s main folder and started the installation. However, it got to 14% and stopped. I waited for 30 min but no luck. I know this installer works because i installed it for p3dv4.3. I have run it as admin, redownloaded it turned of the antivirus but no luck. I could use some help. Respectfully, James Jackson

As the Topic Title says, the FSLabs A320 update is now available for P3dv 4.4 along with the FSX and P3dv3 versions. See the FSLabs forum for more details.

Guys, I hate to be a newb, but quick question: I really don't have lot installed, just one A2A plane, one UTX region, a few airports, REX4 and RXP650. I don't mind doing the work but I want to do this right. I downloaded the full 4.4 and I have all of my addons either re-downloaded or have the installers. Do I: 1. Uninstall all of the addons first, then uninstall v4.3, then delete the 6 extra folders, then install 4.4, then the addons? or 2. Just uninstall 4.3, restart, install 4.4? If I have to uninstall all the addons individually, do I do a full restart after each uninstall? IN other words, uninstall my A2A plane, restart PC. Then uninstall REX…

Hi. For a few weeks, jetways do not automatically dock ai traffic planes on P3DV4.3 or V4.4. I have the latest version of SODE and also of GSX2, however, the jetways remain static. Does anyone know how this could be fixed? THANKS!

Hello Guys i do a remark : P3Dv4 Why the width of the clouds base near the poles is narrower on this part of the planet ? here near Tromso, icao :ENTC a .jpg screen : Patrick

I updated to PREPARED v4.4, and now Sim Acars is not working. Is a Sim Acars fix coming anytime soon? I posted in the Sim Acars Forum also.

Hi everyone! How is native VR in 4.4? I like native vr in P3d. Have been playing with flyinside but it kept crashing randomly too many times. I love it's performance however. I wonder if 4.4 has vr menus? Thanks a lot Cheers Jozeff

Six months ago I endeavored to expand my flightsimming from nearly 15 years of piston AC to turboprops and jets. After those six months I am settling into routine flights with the Majestic Q400. It did not go nearly as smoothly as I had envisioned, but I’m starting to reach a good comfort level with originating and flying regional hops for the VA I joined. I tend to stick with an AC for a long period of time to really learn it. I have logged nearly 2000 hours with DC3 Airways. Once I reach that milestone, I am going to focus more on regular routine daily flights with the Q400, most notably learning the HUD and advance navigation. I’ll also crack open the manual and spend …

Hey guys, I've been loving the 4.4 update, but I keep getting an error that crashes the sim that I have never had before. I did some research but I'm not finding many solutions. Has anyone had this happen and know what causes it/fixes it? Not sure if this makes any difference, but I've noticed it more often (almost exclusively) at PacSim SLC with Megascenery Earth Utah and PMDG 748. System: i5-2500k 4.5Ghz GTX 1080 16GB DDR3 RAM GeForce Driver 417.01 Thanks, Kyle Hatch

I just realized that on my new 4.4 set-up I have a dll.xml with 11.8 MB. Holy cow ... It must have happened during my PMDG installs, because it was created at that time when I installed my PMDG a/c. The first line contains those code hieroglyphic symbols the rest are the typical PMDG entries ... 11.8 MB Wow! I think I know how to repair, so no help is needed. But I wanted to let you know this. I'm surprised that I did not have any problems to fly the PMDG birds. It was Lorbys excellent Addon Organizer which gave the hint that something is broken.

Hello everyone, I just got new pc with P3d 4.4 and I'd like to have some of your advices if there are some presets for Tomato shade in order to improve the virtual cockpit colors. I've seen the ''VC MODEL PACKAGE'' for the A32X Fslabs from RD presets ( https://www.rdpresets.com/fsl-a32x-vc-mod.html) Has someone tried this? What would you suggest? Greetings from Italy, Alex

Of all of the payware US airports in 4.4, which are not compatible and which require a full reinstall after 4.4 is installed? I am trying to figure out when to convert over and thought I would check before I dive in. Thanks

Just wondering if anyone else is having the recurring problem that I am........I'm flying PMDG 737-800 NGX (in fact it happens with all the 737 variants) and I load up a fresh boot up of p3d and fly without any problems. The issue comes when I press escape and "Load Scenario" which is one I've previously created (doesn't matter which scenario the problem is in them all with the 737 ) and after the scenario loads and the 20 second re-coding countdown finishes the plane seems very tail heavy and no matter what I do it's constantly nose up, slow and tail heavy threatening to go into a stall. I can trim it out and fly it but it's not right and as air speed reduces the worse i…

Dears, Qualitywings 787 doesn't calculate the TOD point. I think I put everything correctly, Flight plan, Fuel, Altitude.. I don't what's wrong? Note: I installed the latest fix 1.1.2a

I wonder if anyone can identify the gauge or gauges which run Aerosoft's airbus "professional" weather and terrain radar so I can obliterate them? It's a bit like the old joke about Volvo car lights. Whatever you did you could not turn the ****** things off! I'm getting a huge frame rate hit every time the word not allowed radar switches itself on, and it comes on despite switching it off in the radar section of the aircraft. Grateful thanks to anyone with suggestions.

Anyone having issues reinstalling ORBX scenery? Trying to reinstall global it just hangs on installing. Close central and reopen it automatically try’s installing and hangs again. This is on a new pc build.

Hi Guys, I'm getting this error when installed the Content on V4.4, is there any fix for it? Stating the cabinet file is not digitally signed. Indicates the file may be corrupt? Regards,

Is there any way to import a flight plan into the Majestic Q8-400 Dash? I asked in their Forum and got a reply that I have to more or less suit there, spend more than half an hour just inputting every waypoint into the FPL on the FMS, never mind time spent on the other FMS parameters required. . What? What a bind. Every other developer makes it easy to impost flight plans, e.g. from PFPX, Rout Finder, etc. So, any tips,hints, guides how the Q8-400 owners do it? Thanks.

Hi Folks, Hopefully on AVSIM there are many RTMM followers, and like many of you, I have a huge amount of RTMM scenery installed in P3Dv4.3. All of my RTMM scenery is installed on a external SSD to that of P3D. However my question is: If I follow the procedure, uninstall client, reinstall, uninstall Content, reinstall, uninstall scenery, reinstall. There are many files (ie traffic etc) that had to be placed in Scenery/World/ Scenery, there are effects and sound. (Hope i haven't missed any?????) I have completely made a back up of P3dV4.3, so all my FOLDERS/files are still intact within this copied backup. Can I simply, copy my Scenery/World/Scenery FOLD…

Biggest improvement is smoothness and fluidity - 1 example is the moving art display at ORBX Sedona FSS. Another is that it runs cool on load ~50c and therefore quiet. This is the MSI RTX 2080 SeaHawk model with a Hybrid cooler. The last is that I can now run in full 4k - 4096 x 2160 instead of 3840 x 2160 so IQ is even better. It can handle it. Finally lasts: you may appreciate the extra space in your case and the F1 GTN 750 runs smooth as glass.. Con - pricey Driver - 470.01 Regards bs

So I am thinking of reinstalling P3D on my new m.2. I just realized that I have several REX products that I purchased from the FSS. I just checked my account in FSS and its pretty much says I haven't purchased anything from REX. Will REX honour my purchases, how can I prove to them I own this stuff? ...Also, is it OK to install P3D on a drive that my OS in NOT on? Cheers!

Good day I just took the F16 out for a flight and I wasn’t in the air no time at all when it utterly ran out of fuel. I restarted the scenario made sure my fuel was 100% and I took off and in no time at all I ran out of fuel again. That jet just literally drinks the fuel. Anyone know what the issue may be? Thanks

Hi all, I'm getting ready to take the plunge and update to 4.4 (as soon as FSL makes their Airbuses compatible), and I wanted to make sure I knew how to back up my addons/sceneries so that I could basically hit the ground running with them. It's my first time doing anything other than a simple client upgrade so this is all new to me. (A disclaimer: yes, I know that the better thing to do would be to start from zero, deleting the P3D folders left after the uninstall and then installing everything from scratch. I have a full-time job and that is just not going to happen, so I'm prepared to take the risks this shortcut entails.) I know the Lorby tool exports a…

i update the client and the content and i get this error and what its that Redist file folder ?
