I am running P3D v4.2 and cant seem to find a T-33 aircraft that will work in this program. Does anyone know of one? Thanks

Do you know if « the approach to Innsbruck » exists for P3D/PMDG?

After I installed the Maddog X P3D 64 bit upgrade it replaced my 32 bit FSX Steam Maddog Load manager on the desktop with the P3D 64 bit load manager and I can't find the 32 bit FSX load manager anywhere now, and i've looked all over for it. Know anything about this...??

Good morning everyone, I installed Tecnobrain's RJTT for P3D4 yesterday. I also installed AIG's JAL Summer flightplans, using FSPXAI's 777 family and FSP 787's, along with FAIB\s 737/767 aircraft. All AI aircraft show up as they should BUT, only FAIB's 737/767 do any actual moving (taxiing takeoff/landing), whilst FSPXAI's 777 resemble static aircraft (I've also tried this with a simulation rate of 4x). Inbound FAIB's 737/767 take off and land into RJTT as they should, but inbound FSPXAI 777's and FSP 787's would descend to and maintain 2000ft, overfly RJTT and maintain a straight course into the horizon until they disappear. Has anyone encountered anyth…

There seems to be a big update with lots of improvements over at SODE https://sode.12bpilot.ch/ Thanks Michael Moe

Hello everyone! Interestingly, after reinstalling the P3D V3, I started, already on the first test flight after installation, to have stabilization problems during the flight in the NGX. The aircraft as it leaves the ground moves to one side as if it were unbalanced, which is not true and thus remains oscillating throughout the flight even being perfectly configured. Ascent, cruise and descent the wing lowers brutally and the autopilot regains control. Does anyone know what can it be? I already reinstalled and nothing!

I am new to P3D4.2 and the colours look far too super-saturated and unreal when compared to what I had in FSX. If I turn on HDR I can change the saturation, which looks better but messes up other things (mainly that my centre screen is always much darker than the other two). I have seen PTA, which looks like it might let me change the looks without using HDR, so am I on the right track? From reading the blurb it looks like it can also change lots of other things, including the atmospheric haze. It would be great if I could get P3D to look like X-Plane 11 in this respect.

Hi I have decided changing into the P3D 4 from FSX and get the 64 bit :) As you know we can control almost everyone of the PMDG 737ngx function and the system. I have look for a smaller aircraft to begin with until I am ready for the PMDG 737NGX, what about the aircraft: S550 Citation II HD Series or Citation Mustang Experience for P3D4 ? Can you control the aircraft as you can with PMDG:s one? Best Fredrik

I'm at the office so can't provide a screen shot right now... during the day, depending on the angle that I am looking (usually external but the QW 787 does it internal as well) it looks almost as if I'm looking at the sim on the set of a bright glamour shots studio. The crispness is vastly reduced and, instead, it almost seems to have a "mist" filter on. Again, it depends on the angle -- essentially what direction the sun is coming from.... if I go 180 degrees around the plane, it's crisp and normal. This is a relatively new thing in the last year or so.... I am thinking I screwed with the settings at some point and don't recall what I did. I want to go back to sharp, c…

This is an issue that I have only noticed recently and it happens with any aircraft. When changing views sometimes the sim will just freeze up, If I advance the throttles with the brakes off I can hear the plane rolling but there is no visual animation what so ever. I haven't made any drastic changes if any at all with P3D in the time that this has started, maybe the issue was present with the original 4.0 release and carried through to 4.2 without me noticing it. Anyone know of a solution or have you experienced this before? There is no crash to desktop.

Should be a free updated download from your vendor. Lear Updates for Generation Two: * Prepar3D Version 4.0 updates to 64bit Tech level * New paint schemes added, 13 paint schemes total. * Autopilot VC panel thumbwheel now animated * Control yoke buttons and trimming knob (4) are now active functioning controls * Odd mystery effect on top annunciator buttons is fixed * Revamped nose structure done from photographs (side view, frontal view) to exact * Some interior textures have been modified and improved * Coding improvements to ambient sound systems; --- Landing gear wind noise (when down) is layered 3x per speed values --- Ambient gyro startup …

Hello, after a very long search I have found a solution for me. My Problem was: Microstutters also with good fps. My solution: In game: FPS locked at 59 With custom resolution utility (CRU.exe) I adjust my resolution (marking, then edit in the Programm): to refresh rate 59.100Hz. Then starting restart.exe in the CRU.exe folder. Thats all. For me perfect! So I share it with you. Many greetings from Hamburg Leo

After I installed the update to the 1.1 version, I don't have any flood lights in the VC. Also, the panel lights don't seem to be responding to the dimmer controls as they did in the earlier version. Is it possible Real Light has to be reinstalled? How would I do that? Should I try installing the full installer of the latest version?

I have a problem on final at payware airports with the airport lights flickering until close to landing. I have p3dv4.1 and Windows 10. I have no Orbx scenery and have Ultimate Terrain v2. I only fly to payware airports with PMDG, FSlabs and Majestic Software aircraft. Thanks Paul

Who is using sound transducers in P3D with heavy aircraft? I'm considering getting a Reckhorn amp and transducer after having 2 failures from Buttkicker's abysmal quality amps.

With the VAS issue not relevant in prepar3d 4 what is the best setting for this line in the prepar3d config? 4? 12?

I'm currently running an Intel i7 7700K, o/c @ 4.9 GHz ( further hardware info in my signature), if I were to upgrade to i9-7980XE @ 2.6 GHz, would there be a fairly substantial improvement in performance, due to the "16" cores? I apologize for my lack of knowledge in this area, but I would like to get an idea of what more I can do: to improve performance.

I have Ultimate Terrain in P4dv4.1 and do not have any ORBX sceneries. How does ORBX Global Base compare this in p3dv4 in appearance and performance? Thanks

Bit of a strange one this as I've never personally come across it. While flying around the UK, in particular the east Anglian region, (Southend) I noticed a line across the airport, further inspection saw the line was raised about 50ft and covered a large area. (not sure how to add pics) The line looks like a road but its not and it goes in a perfect straight line for miles. I have P3D V4 - ORBX Global (latest) and Global Vector (latest) installed Anyone else come across this issue and know how to solve it. Many thanks for your replies. Jeremy

Hello friends! This is my first post ever and you are my last hope. Recently something "broke" my P3Dv4 and caused my zoom to go crazy affecting FOV too much and deformating the point of view. This happens to every plane and every point of view. Well, it will be easier for you to watch this video I just recorded. Hope some of you have a solution for this ugly problem. Thank you!

I posted something similar before, but I didn't give detail. I want to know if my system can run P3D at a smooth FPS. PC: I7 6700K 8 Core 2.6 GHZ GTX 970M Add-Ons I plan to get: FTX Global PMDG 737 NGX Active Sky REX Aerosoft EDDF (Frankfurt) Taxi2Gate LFPG (Charles De Gaulle) FS2 Crew 737 NGX EZDOK V2 PTA Ultimate Traffic Live And P3D obviously So....hows it looking for my PC? Be honest.

Hi All Flying the Kodiak in P3Dv4.2-all good I cannot find the instructions/switch to raise and lower the Float Rudders so am unable to steer the Floatplane when on the water Help! xxd09

I saw this here: https://orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/154890-ftx-hd-trees-with-ftx-england/ Does this mean if I have an FTX Region and if I have TDFI's Terra Flora, I will not see the Terra Flora trees in the FTX Region, as the FTX Regions have their own trees that overwrite the Terra Flora ones? Thanks

Hey guys¡¡ My p3d V4 has an annoying problem. At nihgt, the sky and the horizon looks completely white... I´m using PTA only. https://photos.app.goo.gl/HjpKqiUxEW7YBBMG2 https://photos.app.goo.gl/V7QDEwkr3DvIzCbk1

Hey, I just bought the add-on GSX for Prepar3D v4. I installed it and it went fine. Now I wanted to try and activate it, but the add-on isn't appearing in the add-on list. When I go to the add-on manager there is the add-on manager from FsDreamteam. But not GSX. What am I doing wrong? Is there a fix?
