Hi I've been using SimBrief for some time now, and I've never really though there was a problem with it. However, lately, I've realised that when I create my plan using it, load it into P3D default planner, it usually misses a whole load of points out on the plan. I then load it again, and usually it has the same problem, but at some point where I'm loading it, it loads perfectly, showing the same waypoints that were created by SimBrief..! It's like, sometimes it can load the proper plan, and sometimes not. It seems to me like the problem is not with SimBrief, because sometimes P3D loads the same exported flight plan differently to when it had before. I alway…

Hi I'm using the Ultimate Traffic Live app for P3D, and it's generally working great. The one thing that really annoys me is that it calls some airlines perfectly fine, but on others it completely leaves out the call sign of the airline, and just uses a number. A good example is British Airways aircraft; they don't get called 'SPEED BIRD 123', for example. However, a KLM would be called properly, and you would get 'KLM 123'. I know the system itself knows the SPEED BIRD call signs because it does my aircraft perfectly well, it's just the AI aircraft that it doesn't say properly. I'm assuming there is a file I can edit for this kind of thing? Thanks,…

Hello, I have recently installed Reshade into P3D V4. It works perfectly with all PMDG products, however when loading up the QualityWings 787, I experience severe problems within the virtual cockpit. The shaders appear to overlap and create a bright white flickering image, distorting the entire cockpit. This only happens in the VC. The exterior camera angles all function as normal. Any ideas to help fix this would be great! Thank you.

Hello all, I am having huge problems with freeware Australian scenery. Ordinarily, I would not use anything other than payware, however, I have all of ORBX Australian scenery and tghere is absolutely nothing else in the payware scenery for:- YPAD, YBWW, YPPH YBTL nor YPDN. So I am resorting to AVSIM and Flightsim libraries. I have loaded all of these sceneries both manually through the Scenery Library/add scenery/location etc, and, using Lorbi_si Addon Manager. Both methods work and apart from YBTL I have flown out of and into, each one. All perfectly normal. Next day I attempt to get into P3Dv4 and it is locked up at the opening logo. Lorbi to the rescu…

How do I go about troubleshooting this one? In Avatar mode the stairs disappear behind the plane but when it is infront of it. Then in other views, parts of the plane are transparent. Any ideas?

Hello all, As I have previously stated I am fairly long toothed in Flight Sim (FS2004) but very new at P3dv4. I am seriously looking at purchasing the GTN 750 complete and other GA aircraft (in particular the Carenado Phenom 300) Before I do buy, however, I would like to clarify a few things. 1. The Garmin trainer. I believe this is required but... is it another purchase or is it integrated. Is it freeware or payware and where do I download it? 2. I am also receiving conflicting messages in that in the same video it is stated that charts etc are only available for North America (extremely handy for me as I only fly in Australia and Indonesia) and at t…

This looks promising...looking forward to the reports from the early adopters on how it translates within P3D... "What’s interesting about DLSS is that it uses Turing’s Tensor cores to enable a deep learning-powered AI technique to dramatically improve image quality and remove jagged edge artifacts in games, with a minimal performance hit. Traditional anti-aliasing, or AA, can lean heavily on GPU processing resources and memory bandwidth, and may consume large amounts of frame buffer memory as well. Anti-aliasing often requires a frame to be rendered and re-rendered multiple times in order to smooth out edges of objects in a scene and the end result can be a costly p…

I installed ReShade, but, it dropped my framerate to 15 fps. I removed reshade from the my P3D isntallation, i removed the dxgi.ini and dxgi.dll files, but still, framerate is terrible. I uninstalled and reinstalled the game (with windows defender on) but still im getting 15 fps on the default F-22. I have a i7-8700 nad a GTX 1070 and that is powerful enough to get 60 fps on the F-22. What's the problem?

Hello guys, I am clueless of the following. I installed P3D on a new pc. I cant get above 19 FPS on average settings of p3d. I am using GTX 1060 6GB video card. My processor AMD FX -8320 eight core processor at 4.2 ghz. & 16GB RAM memory I have standard settings of p3d so nothing special. it looks like something is not correctly set on my pc or settings I hope you can help me out! t thanks

Orbx's KTVL Lake Tahoe Airport is missing. It does not show up in my P3DV4 installation. The buildings are missing and no general aviation traffic is parked on the ramp. Except for the runway and the ramp the airport is bare. I have a query posted in the Orbx Limited User Forum but that is so seldom used I suppose it isn't viewed very often. It seems Pennzoil and I are the only ones who use it. Looking at what has been posted on the Orbx support forums I have tried their solutions but they haven't worked. I have rebooted the computer. I have uninstalled and reinstalled KTVL twice Options/Addons in the game have Object Flow 2 checked. In F…

Hello all! Anyone know of there is a way to assign specific types of aircraft to parking spots? I am trying to set up Cargo only aircraft at cargo locations at some specific airports. UTLive currently puts commercial aircraft at a lot of them...Or is there a better way of doing this without editing AFCAD's ...

Hi All, I'm in the process of trying to assign key presses to the RealAir Turbo Duke Autopilot. The two buttons I am not able to find key presses for are the: "UP" Button for VS "DN" Button for VS I've looked in the P3D key assignment section of the sim, and my payware version of FSUIPC and I can't find anything that will operate these two buttons. Everything else seems to work fine, like AP, NAV, FD REV, APR, HDG, etc. Any ideas? Bill Clark

Just in case you missed it... http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/topic,17940.0.html

http://www.coolsky.no/news/other-news/520-super-80-classic-super-80-pro-dc-9-classic-for-p3d Very exciting news, I miss their DC-9. It was one of my favorite aircraft for FSX.

I have been trying to resolve an issue with MyTraffic and along the way had to delete my Generated Files. After I did this none of my modules and addons load anymore (Chaseplane, FSUIPC, Coatl, etc.). I thought this fill would re-generate but it has not for some reason and I don't know where to start to get it back again. Can anyone provide some guidance. thanks,

Hi everyone, I recently changed my sim from FSX Steam Edition to P3D V4. When I try to export a flight plan from PFPX to the PMDG 777, it says that it could not write the files. I have already checked that they were the correct folders, and P3D was running while I was trying to export the flight plan. I have also checked that I had downloaded the 777 version for P3D. Any help would be much appreciated! Kind Regards, Max

The Flight1 site download is for 4.2. Does this version work in 4.3? Thanks. Dave

Hi all, I´m a commercial pilot and soon starting a type rating on the CRJ 900. I was thinking of getting the Aerosoft CRJ to supplement the books and see how everything works before I actually enter the real sim.. But should I get P3d V3 or V4? I just want smooth operation with no crashes. 🙂 My specs are: Intel Core i7-8750H GTX1060 6GB 16 GB DDR4 RAM Windows 10 Please note it is a laptop so it does get hot under heavy load. Cheers

Hello, and I've recently gotten Prepar3D v4.3! So with that, I got PTA 2.62. I used a preset from: http://download1498.mediafire.com/67d7oaknu6dg/ipbeoyo84pz4xn7/Chris.O+Presets.rar And, I applied the preset using PTA and it applied with no problem. But, when I load P3D, there's no preview of the aircraft, and after loading a flight, the screen is black. This has happened to me with other presets, and the only presets that didn't have this was Matt Davie's preset. It's taking way too long, but, I can hear engine sound and click sounds, but the game is displayed as black. I can go around this by using the default P3D shaders by rest…

I'm looking at grabbing one of these. But before i shell out 1/2 a grand i was wondering if anyone has experience with it. Is it compatible with P3D? I mostly fly the airbus and 787. i sometimes fly 737 and 747. Any feed back greatly welcome. Regards Mike

Hi Everyone, I've been using my Saitek pedals for a while now, but I'm still annoyed with the sensitivity of the toe brakes. I've played with different settings regarding sensitivity, and I've smoothed them out a little bit in FSUIPC. However, they're still far-too sensitive. Is there a way to set the left and right axes for brakes instead of toe or differential brakes? Of course, I'd be happy to keep things as they are if I can find a way to make the left and right brakes less sensitive and over-powering as well. Thanks for your help, John

When I loaded the default Piper Cub at a grass strip I noticed that the ground textures within about 5 feet of the aircraft was composed of large block pixels (as in Atari 2600 Breakout sized pixels). This only happened with P3D v4.3 (client only or full install made no difference). My Nvidia driver was really old (original with my GTX 750 Ti) so I updated to the 397.64 driver. I lost the block pixels but gained a new problem, as soon as the aircraft started moving the textures (again within about 5 feet of the aircraft) changed to a different colour grass texture which only disappeared when the aircraft left the ground. This problem is mainly noticeable in the …

Hello together, since P3D is supporting 64bit systems under version v4 a lot of people are talking about better performance and a lot of improvements. For me the development is totally in the opposite direction. To be honest I had the best performance with FSX, P3Dv2 was okay, v3 already a bit worser but now with v4 it is horrible and I really loose the excitement about flying... Of course the number of CTD decreases a lot and the shadows and dynamic lighting looks fantastic! But the performance of the sim is very bad... My FPS are not going above 20FPS... on a good day they can reach up to 30FPS (do not ask me why) but also then it is no fluent p…

Hi everyone, So there FSX KONT scenery from Shehryar Ansari is pretty good and works well in P3Dv4 but textures seemed like they are in need of update. So I decided to take a pen and penil and do something. I am hoping to have updated textures for Fall within a week or two. Winter and Summer textures will be updated later on. Note: My first scenery update so no judging 😇 Cheers, WIP Screenshot

Sorry if this is in the wrong place but when i start prepar 3d v4 and it loads and i want to press a button like change aircraft it just closes
