  1. After I got the 757 this morning, I went ahead to https://live-cockpits.weebly.com/ to get the 757 profiles, thinking it would be as easy as the other planes,but realizing I didn't see the 757 on the list, I took to the readme.txt. Then on forward the only successful model was the PW variant, while the RR could not have its model loaded as shown here. and tinkering with the PW, it wouldn't budge to load textures as shown This using the Live cockpits profile Then here using a custom profile I came up with My Graphics Card is a NVIDIA GTX 750 ti if that helps This is from the same day as the pictures were taken above.

    I have been enjoying P3Dv4 for a few weeks now but notice a significant difference in performance when flying in or out of KLAX on my system, as do a few of my friends with even more powerful systems. We all have Orbx Global, Landclass NA, and Southern Cal installed. When flying in or out of KLAX we see very large frame drops and stutters most of the time. We have tried various weather options and have all the eye candy settings in Orbx So Cal turned off but its always poor performance within 10 miles of LAX. Before everyone says well that what happens at large airports I get that and understand all the factors and settings possible issues but at all the other large…

    I installed Pacsims KSLC the other day and I noticed that some of the jetways looks off. They seem to attach to the terminal mid jetway, and some of them are not even connected to the terminal. I sent emails to their support and he tried to help me out but nothing worked, they have never seen this problem before. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the scenery. Reinstalled SODE and GSX. Still the same. I am using ORBX global and LC, no vector. I dont have any #rd party mesh nor did i install any AFCADS or anything. Just wondering if anyone else had this issue, or knows of a possible fix? And also, the jetways work fine. They connect to the aircraft, its just that their …

    Hi I'm using Ultimate Traffic Live at the moment, and I've told p3d that aircraft can crash into each other on the taxiway.. I find this helps because I've seen p3d hold taxiways clear for me. Having said that, on my last flight, some how I ended up on a taxiway with an AI trying to get past me! It's it possible to select an AI aircraft and delete it? Thanks, Gaz

    Hi there everyone, I recently got p3d v4 and am on 4.3 but am having trouble with frame rate. My PC is not bad whatsoever it is an Alienware Aurora R5(with no 3rd party components). I only have two add on airports one of which being Fly Tampa CYYZ, and just today I flew out of there and was only getting 9-14 frames per second, with the PMDG 747-400. I see other you tubers with worse pc’s and more add ones such as ORBX and they do fine. I don’t know if it is my P3D settings or that my computer is on a wirless network not wired (as I always fly vatsim). I really love ORVX and it looks great but there are compromises to be made for frames. Any help is appreciated, Thanks so …

    Hello! I have a question about my REX installation. I am a happy owner of REX products: SkyForce, Texture Direct and Soft Clouds. If I understand correctly SkyForce has it's own cloud textures so having Soft Clouds installed does not have much sense. But I installed it long before SkyForce was released so I still keep it. Texture Direct for all the other textures. My question is - after installing Soft Clouds and Texture Direct (let's say into C:\temp directory), running it and selecting and installing all the textures into Preapr3d folder (what is I believe SC and TD are doing), can I safely remove all the SC and TD files from my disk (from C:\temp dir)? Of course a…

    Hello.. Just curious for those using FSL and Chaseplane, what settings do you all find realistic in terms of all of the motion effects do you all use? I can't seem to find a pair of settings that I like to use with an airliner like FSL that will give me more "feel" for bumps, turbulence, movements, etc. Thanks!

I also have this really weird effect at nightime causing some sort of spooky grass to come on my screen. It is faint, but it moves with my camera and is even more visible in the cockpit. .
