To one of my questions about reinstalling P3D v6 and deactivating the YES/NO license as when the Client is uninstalled in previous P3Ds, Rob McCarthy of LM gave me the following answer which I report for the uninitiated: assuming that after installing P3D v6 in the Windows Control Panel in Programs and Features two Prepar3D v6 Personal appear but of different GB, in my case the larger one is 111 GB and the other smaller 76.4 GB , if you uninstall Prepar3D v6 Personal with less GB you are asked, as for the previous P3D Client, if you want to deactivate the license YES/NO while if you uninstall Prepar3D v6 Personal with more GB nothing is asked but then, if you reinsta…

Hello, guys, this is an unusual problem - So, I am using P3D v4.5 HF3. The problrem is that my shaders are not working properly - I have missing testures in scenery and also missing waves in sim.

Here's a picture of my issue: I have installed Tomato Shade, Reshade, custom sky textures and custom water texture. I'll be glad on any help.

I'm not sure if anyone else has had success using EZCA with P3Dv6 but it initially wasn't working for me. I hadn't used P3D (v5.3) in a few months and decided to fire it up and make sure EZCA was working there as it can be very fussy with Simconnect. Turns out it wasn't working for me in P3Dv5.3 either. I remembered that I saw updates for v3.2.0.4 on the News | ezdok-camera.com website and had it installed (along with the small patch on the same page) thinking I was going to update to P3Dv5.4. I downloaded 5.4 but didn't install it. So, tonight when it wasn't working in P3Dv5.3 I ran the old installer (EZCA V3.2.0.3.exe) but still no joy. I ran the config tool twice (once…

Decided to 'bite the bullet' and buy V6 personal licence but once I go to 'Add to cart' I am met with the following:- Unable to connect An error occurred during a connection to secure.prepar3d.com. The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.

Does LM permit dual installs of V6 - say on a desktop machine and a laptop? Never tried this with V5. Thanks.

I downloaded P3d V6 yesterday and played with it for hours. At this time, I'm going to delete it from my hard drive and put the installation folders into a "holding tank" so to speak. P3d V5 has been with us for a few YEARS now, and in that time, I've really "fed" that version. My V5 is 285 GB, with 304 GB of planes and helicopters, and a myriad of SCENERY enhancements that are absolutely beautiful and fun to fly to and from. I really cannot develop V6 to acceptability until Active Sky, ORBX, and UPDATES to my favorite addons are available. I love EA in V5, and the clouds I'm presently getting with Cloud Art piggy-backed onto Active Sky are very realistic. Addit…

Just had a great flight into London, Heathrow (EGLL), and landed at 2:30 pm Eastern time (7:30 pm there). Wow...what an enjoyable and challenging flight. As soon as I crossed the Channel, the weather became interesting. Descending to One Zero Thousand, the clouds were heavy and foreboding. At Five Thousand, the rain was flying past the cockpit and wings furiously. Absolute ZERO visibility landing on 27R. ILS all the way. Fun and beautiful at the same time! Flying V5.4 with Active Sky and Cloud Art. Have all the ORBX sceneries for Europe. Flew a 777 Aeroflot from Domodedovo (UUDD). Even though that flight may not be possible in real life today, I made it beca…

New computer build here using P3D5.4..... If I set frames locked at 30fps in Nvidia Control Panel with "Unlocked" in P3d, my frames become locked at 10fps. If I change to "App controlled" in NCP, my frames are normal at 80fps. That happens even if FPS is the only setting activated in NCP. Using recent driver 536.40. GPU is RTX 4090 Any ideas on that? Thanks, Fred K

I'm trying to update the Bay Bridge and Alcatraz in P3D v4.5x. I read in a forum in OrbxDirect that there has been an update that fixes the Bay Bridge and Alcatraz but I can't find it. Thank you.

Hello everyone, Does anyone know if Luciano Napolitano will sooner or later release a new WidevieW version, compatible with P3D v6? I messaged him a few days ago, no response yet... I tried to "fool" the system, following Anders Bermann's "trick" below, but without success. It seems that the WidevieW installer is a bit more complex than the usual add-ons. Info - or any other tips - welcome! Pierre

Hi all, I was wodnering if there is any addon for P3D that include internal sounds as FsLabs does. Ive try PMDG, iFly, Aerosft, but all of them only have internal sounds in the cockpit. FsLabs is the only addon out there that have internal real sound form the cabin. When you go for the wing view or any other angle inside the cabin you listen to the external sounds. Is there any way to fix this? Or maybe other aicraft out there that also includes the internal sounds? Thanks

I had been installing my airports and such into my V6 install using the 'workarounds' and got all of my ORBX stuff installed. Moved on to FSDreamTeam and used their udpated installers. Went to try to get a jetway to move through GSX and while it says that it is moving the jetway never moves. When I go into SODE itself it says there are no jetways in the area. It's been so long since I've messed with this that I'm looking for suggestions on what to check that might be the problem as I remember at one time or another having this happen when I upgraded to V5 a while ago. TIA Jason

I haven't used P3D very often, but do want to use it for work when flying the real thing, so could use some help. This is simply a tool for me and I want to be able to reposition the aircraft (Aerosoft A330) quickly from one part of the world to another in order to look at different approaches etc. to familiarise myself with the port/procedure/scenario. I tried using the flight planning function, which did plan a reasonable route, albeit not the one I wanted. The fuel was completely wrong but somewhat immaterial at this stage. I couldn't find a way to quickly position the aircraft to a particular point on that route at the correct speed/altitude/etc. It also ap…
