I have been tweaking around with my ingame P3D settings and my P3D.cfg to increase my FPS. However when i tested it with one of my PMDG aircrafts i had encountered that my rudder was extremely slower then usual inwhich i can barely turn on the ground when moving at a reasonable taxi speed. All other controls work such as turning, rotation etc. I have attempted to uninstall and reinstall but with no luck, i have tried to reset the controls to defaults but again with no luck, i have tried to calibrate my controller but yet again with no luck, all i had to do was slew (which is boring to do). Has anyone ever encountered a problem similar to this one? If so, pleas…

Hi Guys, Anyone had any success with this combination? I don't see how I save a created flight plan into P3Dv4.3 or Airbus Pro, can anyone help me here, please ?? Regards Keith

Hello fellow simmers! Recently i've decided that i would like to be able to configure weights, capacities etc. in the pmdg aircrafts. Of course, im not talking about working the FMC, but rather programming the .dll gauge files and change the settings in there (it has come to my attention, that the settings im looking for is placed in the Gauge files). Unfortunately, i've experienced some problems finding these settings as i go through the .dll in a program called Visual Studio.🤔 My primary objective is to change the ammount of fuel an aircraft can carry! :) Does anybody have any knowledge that might help?😃

Hello @ll, with the kind help of Christian Bahr, the next iteration of PayloadManager X, version 0.90, has been released. Please note that this app is for P3D V4.2 and later only! This version now contains 10 "people models" with 100 different textures to choose from out of the box - created by Christian. And 4 pilots that have been painted by me - unfortunately I am not much of an artist. Everyone is welcome to contribute their own models and repaints and share them with the community - (there probably won't be any updates to the models from our part). The app is freeware, available in the DOWNLOADS-section on the Lorby-SI website (way down, next-before-l…

Can the LM P3D v4 digital download be downloaded using my laptop at work to then transfer over to my simming rig at home? (I don't want to instal it on my laptop - simply use the laptop to download it at work - as my internet connection at home (where my rig is) is very slow. Thanks in advance. Ganter

Hi I'm thinking of using this as I bought it but haven't thought about compatibility. Will the flight plans it can create be compatible with 3rd party aircraft to use in IFR? also, does it use Navigraph? I subscribe to that and am currently up to date. Thanks, Gaz

No matter what I do I cannot get the jetway at any gate to use door L1 instead of L2 I am using Prepar3dv4 with PMDG Queen Of the Skies 747-400 v3 ver Qantas ER I go into GSX Customize Aircraft Editor. Yes It is the correct aircraft and corrisponds to my current aircraft. I select the Pax1 door, and select the header Door with open close checks as FSX Door1 When I go into the editor the blue Z and green and red axis lines are over the correct door (L1) However when I use the jetway it always goes to L2. I am trying to position my nose wheel on the forward yellow line, then L1 will be in easy reach of the jetway. L2 is to far away, and the jetway has to spl…

I think I have this problem just because I am terrible at flying (student so far) and I'm interested in others help, but I'd love help support : I've got frustrated with an issue in P3Dv4, although this was also a problem decades ago when I was using Flight Simulator! Basically, if you want to do a go-around, and you declare the missed approach to ATC, they will give you some immediate instructions, but then practically forget about you! I've just done it on a flight that look an hour to get to EGLL (Heathrow), but I finally exited out of P3D when it stopped communicating with me. I had put me on a course, but then a 1-hour flight turned into more than 2 hours, ju…

So I recently got a new computer and finished installing ORBX ESSA and went to try it out. It loads fine and the gorund textures are looking sharp... Except after around 1-2 seconds, the ground disappears under this blurry grey layer and the high quality textures are gone. I cannot seem to find anything related to this, just a bunch people having issues with the terminals but they are working fine for me. I have tried to reinstall, but not worked. I have tried to disable objectflow, clear shader cache, reinstall the libraries, lower/higher resolution settings, chnage my Scenery cfg location to "C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3" in my FTXSettings.xml, added …

dear all, i'm looking to find the right payware (or freeware) aircraft which fits the following requirements: - good FMS with procedure support, specifically holding entry and RNAV approaches - good autopilot / FMC which is able to keep up with the FMS ;-) - possibility to manually modify/extend the nav database with custom/experimental SID / STAR / Approach Procedures - Preferably jet class performance - fairly accurate takeoff, climb, cruise and descent performance - no internet connection needed (other than for initial install) - P3D 4.3 compatible - for once, things system failures or the most perfect graphics are NO…

This has been happening for a while whenever i am around FL300 or above i always seem to notice blacked out aswell as some messy and out of order terrain textures just scattered around with others being loaded in correctly (see link to photo below) I have never found a solution to it, i do have most global ORBX products since i think this could be the issue but i do not know. Has anyone ever came across anything similar to this problem?

Hey guys, Since some days the throttle from my joystick (logitech force 3d pro) doesn't go under 35%, which means when the throttle on my joystick is fully closed, it keeps giving 35% of thrust to P3D. I've already reinstalled the joystick, calibrated it within Windows 10, and P3D, but the problem continues. At the windows 10 calibrating page, it seems that the throttle is giving the right data to Windows, so the stick is fully functional. The problem appears at all the aircraft in P3D. If someone have a solution, I would like to hear it.

Hi, I use Chaseplane and I never have this issue before. When I move camera with my middle mouse it kinda delay and stutter. I move it then 2 second camera move....sometime it doesn't move at all and sometime it freeze the sim 2-3 second (when i takeoff and trying to do after takeoff item). Then I found another problem that never happen to me before too, The ground texture is extremely blury. After that when I finally land at flytampa EKCH I thought that i will enjoy the scenery after that problem...but no the ground are floating... Before this happen i set affiity mask in the cfg. then i delete it. I try to delete …

Hi! Now i really hope you can help me :/! My sim has stutters when i turn at anything view. I don't know what to do😫 i have uninstalled p3d v4.3 today and it doesn't help. My frames are unlimited and vsync is on🙄😓😰

Hello! So I just got ORBXs KSAN and after installing it I saw that there was land textures that went far into the Pacific Ocean, and in an attempt to tr and fix it, I messed around with FTX Central 3 and the library order and messed up everything. Now at most/all airports in the sim there is a blurry terrain texture over the airport texture, and default ground textures (like taxiways and runways) are on-top of the proper addon scenery. Is there anyway to go back or to have the system re-order itself so the proper items are in order within the library. I didn't uninstall / install anything, just messed around with the entries and now it's all goofed up. ... and advi…

My setup: external speakers, logitech usb headset, oculus rift headset. So, I'm having an issue where I cannot control where the sounds are routed. I want engine sounds to my speakers and all others to my usb headset. I can't seem to positively control where the sound goes; for example, my Rift is not selected anywhere, yet ATIS comes thru rift, even when I have Speakers selected and can hear my engine through those. Is there a way to control this? thanks

Hi: Just saw V1.1.1 is available. Cheers.

I am basicaly an X-Plane user but have PMDG 747 on Prepared ...Is there a way to have the space bar depression assigned to the mouse right click depression instead, to look around the cockpit as in X-Plane...or even assign keys to specific views....I dont remember how, or even if I had ever done it on Prepared...Thanks

I have and still enjoy using P3D, it lifted the simulation platform to new heights, with DX11 and 64 bit. But unfortunately progression has been very slow. And evidently it appears that LM are placing the task of expanding and innovating the platform, squarely on the various addon publishers. As P3D runs on my computer at the moment, I have 2 shader addons, 3 weather/weather texture addons, numerous landclass/Mesh/Night lighting/city expansions in my sim, countless airport addons, tons of AI and custom AFCADs installed. This is all good, but it is astonishing just how much help this sim needs to run at a height that captures my imagination and attention. …

I don't know which version of P3D in which this started to happen, but I am getting an annoying clustering of AI traffic at airports, generated from Traffic BGLs. I'm using MyTraffic, as I have been for many years -- I'll try TrafficGlobal as well when I can get it to actually make any traffic). What happens is that in a larger airport, such as EGLL, the AI traffic generated is all placed at gates or parking positions near my aircraft, leaving gates further away empty. It does not distribute them evenly. Thinking it was something in my FSUIPC Traffic Limiter, I actually changed the range at which it doesn't delete airport traffic, if it can help it, from 0.…

Guys is there any way to include the old Kai Tak airport to the Navigraph? Since this airport was closed some time ago it's not present in current AIRAC data :(

So, I came home from work this afternoon, had a shower, fired up P3D v3, loaded the PMDG 737-800 NGX......and after a few seconds I noticed that my joystick hat switch controls were not working. At first, I thought that the USB connection to the joystick had not initialised, so I rebooted the PC and tried again. Still no luck. It took me a few more minutes to realise that all of the control settings (keyboard and joystick) had been reset to default!! How the hell does that happen??

Which P3D action/event in FSUIPC or SPAD.neXt (long list of events) toggles the GPS/NAV switch? Thanks.

The QualityWings 787 Collection released for P3D, but no support for v3!!!! I bought the 787 for FSX and it was good, but I used P3D v3. So, I didn't fly the 787 much. And when I heard that P3D support was coming, I was excited. Now, fast forward some months, P3D support came a few days ago. BUT, it's for v4. I was so disappointed. But why not just get P3D v4??? Becuase, the FsLabs A320 and the LSH Maddog Md-80X you HAVE to purchase again for support v4. I was so bummed out because I not only have to purchase the 787 again, now I have to spend over $200 for 2 addons I already have. That's like if Call Of duty only supported the…
