    Can anyway confirm if it is working in 4.3? I saw in a different thread in the P3D subforum that claims it doesn't work, but no one has confirmed that. I haven't seen any updates mentioned for this aircraft.

  2. I downloaded the full installer, uninstalled and reinstalled per the included instructions. When I open the LM, then open the Fuel/Route Planner tab, enter a Departure, Arrival, and Alternate ICAO it doesnt calculate the fuel at all, or sometimes it will calculate some fuel, but not nearly enough for the trip. It used to show the distance to destination below the legs section once you entered just the departure and arrival ICAO, now it shows 0.0 I checked the official forums and I did see a similar post, but it had no responses. Any ideas?

    Is it just me, or is anyone else irritated whenever they hear the default female ATC voice pronounce "Bombardier" as "bom-ba-deer" instead of "bom-bar-dee-ay"?

    Hi I've been using this aircraft for some time as I was told it was good for training. I still fly VFR. The problem I have is that I generally find any changes I make in flight quite sluggish. Also, if I make a change to the amount of throttle, its almost like the aircraft hits bad turbulence. Its almost like any changes to the flight path have to be done very carefully - much more careful than other aircraft I bought. Rather than using this aircraft 'out of the box', should I be making changes to any config? When I watch any YouTube videos with this aircraft, they don't seem like training vids - quite often they taxi the aircraft very fast and it seems unstabl…

    Hi, I'm toying with the idea of giving UTL a shot. First, I need to work out how best to uninstall MyTraffic Pro 6.0a. MyTraffic Pro 6a was installed using Poppet's meticulous instructions employing the add-on.xml method. Should I just work back through her detailed guide after running the uninstaller from Windows 7 'Programs and Features'? Perhaps there's an easier/quicker way, although I suspect not. Regards, Mike

    Since upgrading to P3dv4.3 I have not been able to use any software that resides on the remote PC, such as ActiveSkyP3D4 (updated to v4.3), etc. The error message is that the sim on client cannot be found. Sems to me that Simconnect is not working on remote in this new version, but wanted to check with networked users if they have had similar issues before I post on the P3D forums. Feedback appreciated. Other issues encountered have been: P3D hangs during start up and on various ocassions and having to use Delete Generated Files. Extremely slow loading of sceneries sometimes taking up to 4 minutes. regards

    Hello all, Recently I decided to give TomatoShade a go after seeing various screenshots of what in can do in terms of aircraft reflections. I watched the tutorial video provided by Norshuttle on youtube and ran into a problem when it comes to the dynamic reflection maker. I would like to apply a reflector preset to the NGX -800WL but it showing up on the list on the left. PMDG 777 and 747 seems to be working fine, all liveries are showing and so on and same goes for the FSLabs A320, all liveries and variants are showing on the aircraft list on the left. But no PMDG 737 is properly showing, it shows me the 900NGX and 800NGX house liveries and nothing else. When I…

    Hi I understand this is probably not used by many in the Prepar3d world, but I like to use the built-in ATC. It's always worked - until now! Now, whatever I have the frequency set to, all the options listed in the radio box are greyed out. To be honest, I don't normally manually change the frequency since there is an option to automatically do it, but that it also greyed out now... In fact, all the transmission options are greyed out. It even stays that way when I set the COM1 to the frequency of the local airport I'm trying to talk to. The only thing that I've changed on my system lately is that I installed the full version of FSUIPC, but I have made no changes…

    So who is flying the new CS757? From the reports, this may be their best aircraft aircraft yet. There are a few items like fuel consumption and price but for a V1.0, the actual problems seem be few and minor in nature. I have their FSX version of the 757 and it doesn't have any major hick-ups and am about ready to pull the trigger on this one.

    I'm going to need to modify some parking spots in some airports in a bit. Checking methodology, it seems that the choice is to use ADE to modify the AFCAD. However, looking in the P3D SDK it looks like the same thing can be done using the Traffic Toolbox in the SDK. Anyone have any experience with the two method, have a preference? EDIT: After further research I think I'm wrong - the Traffic Toolbox just shows the parking but you can't modify the type of parking. Guess it's ADE. Thanx, Vic

  17. Hi all- I'm running just installed 4.3 on a triple monitor setup. I stretch the image across 3 27s. In 4.2, with the image stretched, I could alt-enter and lose the title bar even when not completely stretched across all monitors. In 4.3, the stretched image, after alt-enter, shrinks to the center screen sans title bar. Alt-enter again, screen expands. Any ideas on this? Thanks, Mark

    Hello all I recently installed just the 4.3 client and things went smooth. I flew around a bit with the new client installed and it ran great. A day or so later, I decided to download the 4.3 content file mainly to check out the C 130. I downloaded the three files (cont1, cont2, and the content installer) with a download manager and all seemed well. The three files are located in the same folder. I uninstalled the previous content file. Shortly after running the new content installer, I got a message "Source file not found. Verify that the file exists and that you can access it". I initially went to the LM forums to see if anyone else had the same problem. I …
