The Prepar3d Forum

Hi all, I'm experiencing an issue with GSX recently where anytime I try to access th GSX menu more than once, it will automatically select the refuling option without any input from myself. For example, if Irequest catering, but then go back later to request boarding, it will select refuelling instead before I can do anything and then I have to reset the position. Same with trying to go from boarding to pushback and parking to deboarding. It happens both when pressing ctrl+f12 and when going through the add-on's menu. Anyone experienced this before and know how to resolve? Thank you.

I try to decide which one I should buy. I know that the FSDT version is quite old, but Aerosoft doesn't have the greatest reputation regarding the frame rates of their sceneries. I would be thankful for input on that matter.

Hi, With all the discussions surrounding the correct choice of Affinity Mask for Prepar3D, some of you might find what follows to be helpful. Credit goes to Steve as his posts in another recent thread prompted me to devise this testing method. Loading Times (Prepar3D v4.3) Intel i7-5960X [8 Physical Cores, 16 Logical Processors (LP)] HYPERTHREADING = ENABLED All Addons that load with the simulator: Disabled All items in the two DLL.XML and the two EXE.XML files (found in AppData and ProgramData folders): Disabled To speed up testing it can be helpful to disable third par…

I had some problems with 787, during the day the textures works fine but at night my cockpit lights get blurry. https://imgur.com/m7u1Xp8 https://imgur.com/sjN87f1

Remember in the Aerosoft Airbus Aircraft where it had the pilot and flight officer going over the checklists and you hear them talking....I had recently purchased the FSLABS A320-x thinking that it also had those voice overs for the checklists and it doesn't. Do you guys know of any other aircraft that has checklists where the Flight Crew go over them with you like in the Aerosoft Airbus? I know PMDG aircraft doesn't have this either. Appreciate the help.

I have my P3D installation on a separate drive, and if I need to reinstall the OS on the main drive, will a client install recreate the app data and programdata folders that are on the main drive?

Hi guys! I've been working on a working blackbox a340 project airbus a380 merge. I've got all the switches working, FMC fully functional, PFD/ND working, but the ECAM seems to be permanently frozen. You cant start the engine properly etc.If you have experience in stuff like this help would be appreciated! (Mods, if this isnt the correct forum feel free to move this to the correct one)

Hello, I am new to P3Dv4.3 after having been out of flight sim for the last 8 months. I have been working on getting P3Dv4.3 up and running but after an "awful" day today (NTDLL.DLL error that I believe was either caused by ORBX vector or a loser in the silicon lottery and general bad OCing i7-8700K) I have been trying to "fix" the sim. I started getting the NTDLL.DLL error in FSX:SE right at the end of my time with it and this is what made me sit out for the last 6 months and invest in a new computer/P3Dv4, so after today I am really second guessing my decision to invest in and continue this hobby; especially since the sim looks like crap with this issue I am having. …

While waiting for the Aerosoft DC-8 to go on sale again, decided to get my JF DC-8 for P3D v4 out of the hangar. Did the Tutorial, Okay have got the hang of it. So, trying a flight EDDL-EGCC. But why will the AP select mode after reaching say 4000 ft at 250 kts not stick to the dialled-in climb rate, with VERT HOLD or HDG knobs selected ? Nor will the Altitude Hold switch do exactly that----hold the altitude? The aircraft just keeps climbing. In fact the AP may as well not be there for all it does, which in fact is...........xxxxx !! Is it a bug, or what?

I can't help thinking this is going to be hard to resist getting, especially at that price.

I held off as long word not allowed I can and finally bought P3D V4.3. It was my understand that my (or most of them) FSX addons would work. I've yet to figure out how to get any of them to work. Trying to get Ultimate Traffic Live, Active Sky, FSUIPC, several sceneries and several aircraft to work but haven't had much luck. Bought the Estonian migration tool and no luck there either. Can anyone give me some pointers or perhaps a You Tube video to get me started. I'm out of idea's. Thanks for any help!

I might be wrong but something looks different haha.. Everything was perfect, i just install thru FTX V3.2.5.9. - FTX BASE - FTX VECTOR - FTX OPENLC NORTH AMERICA - FTX TREES HD - FTX LIGHTS CONFIGURATOR - FTX OPEN LC MESH SOUTH AMERICA - ORBX LIBRARIES WHAT COULD BE HAPPENING? Specs: i7 7700K (not OC) 770 GTX 2gb SLI 16gb ram DDR4

hi, i would like to ask if there is (or are) any good, study level, jet planes for p3d. im not sure if the term jet is the right one, i mean the ones the rich people use :) the small ones :) we have seen pmdg, qualitywings (flightfactor for xplane) to make top level airliners, also other companies make ga aviation planes or prop airliners but i dont know if there is a jet. can you pls help me with suggestions? thank you

Hey Guys, I need some serious help!! this is my first time posting so if in the wrong area please let me know so i can move it. My Sim has been running great for the last 8-12 months with no issues but as of a couple of days ago it had a single Addon crash (ChasePlane) and since than if i swap to a windows outside of the sim itself (e.g. Chrome to lookup charts) all my controls running from Spad.next just stop in the position they were in, all click spots (buttons and switches) can no longer be used in the virutal cockpit and it pretty much becomes unusable. I have unistalled and reinstalled Spad.next & Chase plane but no difference. All 2d cockpit…

I'm sorry for asking this question because there are some really good videos for this app on YouTube. I have a basic problem in that after I create the flight plan, I don't know how to go into P3Dv4, launch the Pro ATC X soon to talk to the controllers. How do you start the app up when you're in the flight sim? Thanks, Gaz

The good : 1 several general bug fixes ( see LM list ) 2 Wideview correction ( no more fisheye ) Less good : 1 although not much I sometimes experience blurries where I did not have then with v4.2 with the same settings 2 the longer the flight the more the fps drops. In my case after 1.5h about 15-20%. With V4.2 this was 5-7% 3 ASP4 has more impact on the framerate than with V4.3 ( Note : I use the latest beta ) . Saving a flight and reloading it without ASP4 running shows the same clouds but with 20% more fps 4 Sometimes the Wideview correction does not show at startup. Several times Alt + Enter and / or choosinh the custom made …

Has anyone been able to get any of the aircraft that reside under the umbrella of The Ford Tri-Motor project, to work in P3D v4? Particularly interested in the Curtiss-Jenny, which I enjoyed flying back in FSX. Thanks T45

Hi guys I'm looking for some good Canary Island scenery (it's one of my favourite parts of the world, and I know the airports inside and out!) I'm particularity interested in a Gran Canaria & Trenerife, but anything would do the trick for me. Is appreciate it if someone could find it for P3Dv4. Thanks, Gaz

Dear flight friends, It has been a topic before but I am pretty new to helicopters in p3d v4.2 and I am looking for the most realistic combination of helicopter and HTR profile( hover control website). I tried a few combinations but find it difficult to choose a realistic one. I know the dodosim 206 does not work in p3dv4 and I own the Huey for DCS and also Xplane 11. These are awesome for helis but I am looking specifically for a P3d helicopter because I love that sim in VR right now. Looking forward to your thoughts!! Thanks Jozeff

Hi, So I've been flying very well. The FPS are ok, everything is ok, except for this. Basically everytime I touchdown there's a stutter, a freeze of less than 1 second, but it takes out the adrenaline of landing. I believe this is a problem of sound and processing the sound files. The recalls of the cockpit when landing, 'Fifty, Fourty, Thirty' also makes it lag a little. I tried and hit 'Q' to take the sound off the game, and when I hit 'Q' again to turn it on, there's a huge lag. So I believe there's a problem processing the sounds. Has anyone ever had this problem? I've googled it but can't find any solutions. I have a MSI laptop, GE62-6QE Intel® Core i5…

The Freeware Ford Tri-Motor project had quite a few other aircraft in there. It was aimed primarily at FSX, but I did manage to get the Curtiss-Jenny running in P3D v3. I tried again today in P3D v4 & found the following: - The aircraft loads, but is invisible - There is engine sound that changes with throttle movement - It can take off & flies around quite sedately, with all external views of the aircraft being invisible. - However, there is 1, & only 1, view that shows up: Cockpit View, looking straight ahead from the pilot's perspective, showing dashboard & gauges, & the scenery out in front of the aircraft I h…

Hello everyone this is my first post and I wanted it to hopefully be a helpful one. Background on me.. I work for a major Hardware Manufacturer as an Enterprise Architect building large scale Data Center solutions. It has been an interesting journey to say the least trying to optimize my desktop PC to work WELL with P3D over the years. It is a unique animal as most of the approaches you would take towards getting better performance with any game is throw more GPU power at it. This is not the case with P3D. Everything has to work well together and overclocking one component can yield worse results without looking at your system holistically. So i tried to take an app…

All, I discovered a pretty cool weather ap for you ipad users. It's called Ventusky and it delivers a pretty amazing visual representation of winds at multiple altitudes, air pressures, clouds and precip any where in the world, plus with forecasts. It is very easy to go to your destination, see the winds visually, check the pressure etc. And you can check in mid-flight to see if things are changing. Here in Colorado, they change quickly in the late afternoon with our notorious thunderstorms. I'ts $4 I think. Colin Ware (and I don't work for the developer or have any financial relationship - I was just really impressed and it doesn't come up earl…

Hi all, Noticed this weird grass problem on a number of my airports. For example here is a screenshort from ORBX KVUO. I get the same odd-bright grass on other add-on sceneries, like for example FlyTampa Copenhagen. Does anyone has any idea of what's the culprit behind it? Default shaders are used.

A2A have released their Accu-Sim Mustang, both Civilian and Military versions, for P3Dv4! \o/ The Accu-Sim P-51 Mustang is here finally in its P3Dv4 guise. Back in 2004, we released a P-51D for Microsoft Flight Simulator 9 that used a flight modelling process known as “Absolute Realism.” A lot of characteristics were being experienced for the first time in flight simulation. If you flew flight simulators, you were used to the old “yank and bank” as most flight simmers held the position that aircraft really didn’t spin. This was largely because, back then, developers were largely programmers, with no flying experience. Even today, while it’s getting more common, …
