The Prepar3d Forum

Hi, here I get mad with all this. I fresh format my PC with new installation of win 10 and the last 4 days was installing p3d mass of sceneries and add ons. Last was FSLabs A320 and A319 plus spotlights. Problem with p3d, shows the start screen working but it doesn’t start (load) Any Advise PLEASE.?

I'm willing to hazard a guess that V4.4 will be released on November 6th at 2pm EST but it won't bet better than X-plane 11.30 😜

Hi All: A quick question -- at one time I saw a demo of a utility that let you watch in real time what is being loaded by P3D into memory behind the initial black screen. Was that Project Lasso or another utility? I don't currently use Project Lasso but would like to see the loading progress and see if I can speed it up a bit. Thanks for your help! P.

Hi i have a 55” Samsung 8500 series and i noticed 2 things window mode - the screen is normal and non-glossy Full mode - I get a gorgeous glossy textures. When I click on mouse middle button it change back to normal texture. Sometime it will switch back and forth when I go to external view. I am not sure what’s happening. I barely use full screen this is why I was amaze how beautiful it looks with all the shiny or glossy look. Anyone have this experience?? David

I was sure there were default Carenado planes included in P3D v4 but when I checked the website there are none. Reason I ask is that I have several installed that I own but there seems to be models that I don’t remember installing. Is it a case that there were included in the past but aren’t anymore?

Hi I have a lot of Orbyx installed plus many planes and Addons Most of my flying is in North America-here all works well However In Europe and South America-I seem to have no go areas I also note that I have to start P3Dv4.3 two or three times before the Simulator will run -then all is well Have tried Default settings for Graphics for Graphics and it does help I can fly around Quito in S America but not down at Ushuaia I can fly around Graz In Europe but not around Innsbruck All Graphics drivers up to date.All antivirus off I have a satisfactory system as most of my flying is in North America What could I try to free up…

Hi Guys I have just got and Orbweaver and wanted to use it for view selection with chaseplane in my flight sim (P3D). i followed a couple of you tube videos that describe mapping the keys to joystick and the mapping them in the control panel in P3D The issue that i have is that when selecting the keys after mapping they clash with same joystick key numbers on other peripheral such as controllers and throttles. How do i get round this please? thanks in advance Daz

Hi everyone! I have a question about the 787 of qualitywings. If i buy now the 787 for prepar3d v4.3, if in the future p3d puts a new version of the simulator like v5, the 787 i bought i can use it in that version (v.5) or i have to buy it again? Thanks everyone!

I have been going back and forth with the developer of GSX for WEEKS now since the release of GSXL2 and the constant issues I am having with it mostly pertaining to P3Dv4.3 freezing when clicking "apply" in the GSXL2 gate editor. Since I keep all of my addons in a folder outside of the main P3D folder and outside the Program Files folders (including x86), I thought perhaps uninstalling everything and all addons and moving everything and reinstalling to the bigger external HD would be a decent test to run. Everything gets a clean fresh install and I can just copy/paste my addon folder and only need to make sure the paths are set up in the addon manager. Well, I…

A few of you guys know that over the past week or so I was having these weird CTD senarios. After extensive troubleshooting I narrowed it down to the app Accu-Feel 64 bit. The CTD happens right after the load screen finishes 100%, then it stays black and P3Dv4.3 crashes. Whenever Accu-Feel is disabled, or ticked off in the add-on’s List, I experience no crashes. I did contact A2A, and their team was very helpful but sadly nobody can really explain what is going on so I’m hoping anyone on here might suggest something to try. So far I have wiped my whole system and reset Windows 10, I have uninstalled and reinstalled P3D numerous times, I have repaired P3D once, deleted all…

Hi All, For those of you that are FS2Crew users, and also purchased the QW787 can you justify adding it to the fleet w/o FS2Crew? I fly exclusively with FS2Crew, but have wanted to try the QW787 for a while. Thanks

It's difficult to keep count of responses in normal forum threads. If you have contributed to the other thread, convert your response to a polled response here. Could one of the mods please pin this for a week?

OpenCockpits MCP - EFIS driver for QualityWings B787 DreamLiner will be released October 15th.

Hello again! You should know what the topic is all about after reading the title.😁 So I'm asking you guys for help because nothing seems to solve this issue with the layers in the sky and haze layers above the water. I have read pretty much every topic about this issue on the forum, but as written, nothing has helped me. I am using Navid's sky textures and AS16 as for weather engine. I also have REX 4 TD with SC installed providing the clouds and water textures. I'm sure that the haze layers are related to settings inside Active Sky. I have applied the realism preset if that is to any help. And as of the sky layers, I don't know what can be related to the i…

When using the PMDG 747 in LNAV, I am finding that the flight line (purple line) turns before for the active waypoint on approach even though the waypoint is active (lit up in purple). The turns can occur a few miles before the active waypoint thus making landings a bit difficult sometimes. I usually compensate by using the heading select to fly to the way pointthen turn, but obviously I should not need to do this. Anyone know why this is happening? Thanks so much! KR

Hi all: I'm interested to know more about available helicopters for P3Dv4. Could anyone please share any experiences and recommendations you may have?. In particular there is any particular piece of hardware needed to properly fly them?. Thanks for your help. Cheers, Ed

Hi Folks, Long time Ultimate Terrain UTX user - but due to the sale - figured I'd spring for the global coverage of Vector... Is it my imagination or is UTX terrain far more detailed and precise than that provided by Vector ? It seems that many of the shorelines are extremely blocky or almost look hand drawn in Vector... Is it me or has anyone else done a comparison ? Thanks... Regards, Scott

I have tried the FT Forums without much success. Is anybody else seeing P3Dv4 CTDs at FT's Sydney, Athens? What is causing a pre-flight using the 747-400 latest version to make the sim go CTD pointing to that faulting module? Just P3Dv4 and nothing else. No AS, no PFPX, running. Now, removing anything to do with FT. And there was me thinking that they were a reputable developer when it came to classy airports. How wrong I was!

Hi Folks, Looking for some insights on how to improve my situation - I have rudder pedals but I can't use them comfortably at my desk so they're off the table... So - I do use FSUIPC - I have two buttons and a single joystick axis available for braking... Some aircraft require differential braking in order to turn effectively... What I've done is use FSUIPC to assign both the left and right brake to the single joystick axis - this allows me to smoothly apply my brakes without skidding but doesn't help me with turns... If I assign the two buttons to left and right brake respectively via FSUIPC - it negates the axis assignment - so it's an "either/or" situation - so I …

Quote from QW forums: " Dear 787 drivers, thanks to the automatic crash reporting we have been able to make some progress and further improve the stability of the 787. We would like to thank everybody who has participated and hope to see even more improvements in the future. Even though we did not plan to send out another update this soon, we figured it would be good to share those bugfixes as soon as possible with you. The installer below will update your V1.1.2 to V1.1.2A and addresses the following issues: - AUX page related CTD - CDU RTE page related CTD - WXR Radar related CTD …

Hi I've been frustrated with other AI traffic lately. I normally only use UTLive, and I still am, but for some reason it's doing some odd things. One of them is creating an aircraft at your gate when you've been pushed back! It just appears out of nowhere! Anyway - I have said in another topic, there are are some airports (mainly Gatwick) where I land and there is no space for me to park?? So - space problems 😞 The reason I think P3D might be the problem is because it doesn't let me park, the standard AI traffic windows doesn't give me option to park - only to take off. This suggests to me that the problem happens in P3D telling either UTLive or GSX that ther…

I posted this in the QW forum but no answers. Perhaps some here have flown this flight. So decided to attempt the ultra long haul flight YPPH-EGLL. (789) However I ended up with a payload of only 230 pax and could not put any bags or cargo on otherwise I would be over MTOW. How is this possible for this flight in the real world? Surely they have strict weight restrictions, but the flight would have to be fairly full to make it worth it. But have less pax and their bags plus all the fuel puts you way over MTOW. I was right at MTOW. Here are the numbers I ended up using: PAX 229 216lbs/pax 98kg/pax Payload 49,500lbs 22.500kg ZFW 337,…

Hi everyone, I need all suggestions/ideas to solve my issue. Over time I was losing fps till it drops to low teens and starts to stutter. So this weekend I uninstalled P3Dv4.3 and reinstalled it. Only FlyTampa Amsterdam Schiphol installed. No other addons installed. No third party weather engine , no third party water. No AI. Just a flight from Amsterdam to Athens ( LGAV ). At startup high fps . Over time franerate drops which does show at approach. After a 3h flight from Amsterdam to default Athens the framerate had dropped to 10-12 fps. Then I rebooted P3Dv4.3 and loaded my aircraft at Schiphol rw 24. Still low fps : …

Hello, I've been seeing when I am flying I see like it's night or water on the road. I have P3d v4.3 ORBX global ORBX OpenLC NA ORBX Vector http://prntscr.com/l0jmrm

Hello! Back in my FSX times I flew the awesome freeware C47/DC3 from Jan Visser. Now I evolved to P3Dv4.3 and I wonder if anyone already tried it on this version? Is it working on 64bit? Thanks!
