Hello, Does sutch a tool exist? thanks in advance.

Hello all, I'm a P3D v3.4 user and I've been having a bit of an issue with ground textures during night flights. I have UTX Night Lighting and ORBX Global (and whatever lighting ORBX provides) installed and both seem to be coexisting well together. However, I seem to have strange, blurry ground textures that are meant to illuminate the ground but simply look BAD. They appear unrelated to any ORBX lighting, so I initially thought UTX was the culprit. However, after disabling "Autogen Lighting for UTX" via the scenery library, I saw UTX's lights disappear but these strange ones still exist. Any suggestions would be much appreciated! Here's what they …

I just download HAAB airport and it have a elevation problem I have orbx vector and orbx global, I tried orbx vector airport elevation correction and it still doesn't work. Please help

I received an email yesterday (5/20) about a software update. I loaded it but where do I find out what the changes are?

I'm sorry I guess it is a very basic question but I've been away from flight simulation for years. My question is, how much improvement can be expecting when migrating from FSX SP2 to the latest P3D version? I'm mainly interested in performance and stability but I would like to hear about anything you guys think is worth to mention. Thanks in advance!

How easy is it to switch between AIRAC 1611 and AIRAC "Current" with fsaerodata? I have read some earlier posts here: and the topic of using fsaerodata 1611 for both P3D and Little Navmap for the purposes of syncing with the 750 GTNs (F1 or RXP) has been discussed. However, when using non-GA aircraft that have their own Navigraph support, it would be better to keep P3D and Little Navmap synced to the current AIRAC (especially when flying online). So switching between AIRAC 1611 and AIRAC (Current) easily for both P3D and Little Navmap databases would make the above two scenarios fairly practical. I have not used fsaerodata before. Does the …

Hello I am trying to find out the experience of someone who has used an I7-7700 processor and 4K monitor with a GTX 1080 Graphics card upgraded to a 1080ti with PMDG aircraft and is pleased with the performance increase in relation to cost of upgrade. I have the opportunity to upgrade from GTX1080 to GTX1080ti (Asus Rog Strix 11GB) for approximately £500. I would be interested to know if the performance increase between the two graphics cards warrants the £500 cost Clive Alexander

Hi, i have problem. I installed pmdg 737 and it works fine but b777 not working. Black gauges, no gear... I installed all simconnect but without change. I´m running installer as admin. P3D v3.4

I recently updated to Seattle Airports X to get their version of KSEA. Uninstalled LatinVFR's KSEA and decided to do a "clean install" of Seattle X and Seattle Airports X. I removed the Seattle X folder for P3DV4 and removed the Addon.xml. I then reinstalled it. Before doing all of this, Seattle X looked great and I had no water elevation issue at KRNT as I had updated to V1.05 of Seattle X which I thought fixed that issue last December. I had originally discovered the issue at Renton back last December and somehow got it fixed, but now, after reinstalling Seattle X v1.05 and Seattle Airports 1.1, the problem is back. I've read the recent information in the Drzewiec…

Hello everyone, I recently purchased fly the maddog x for p3d v4. However, after installing the addon and loading it in to p3d nothing in the plane functions. The whole entire cockpit is dark and null, and none of the switches work at all. I've reinstalled it several times and to no avail the same issues persist. If anyone has some solution to this problem please let me know, thank you.

Hello, I was wondering if it was possible to enable FSUIPC autosave only in certain conditions, for example only when I'm above FL100. The reason is that it always freezes the sim for a while when it's creating the save, so it's not practical during final approach or so. But I still would like to be able to save it frequently in cruise. Thanks for the information.

Somewhere on the Internet a year or 2 ago, I found a graphic of a map that showed the borders for the various continental sceneries (Western North America, Oceania, Western Europe, South America, Eastern North America, Asia, Africa, Australia, etc.). However, I'm unable to locate that webpage recently. Can anyone provide a link to such a map? Thanks in advance!

im currently playing fsx SE. and it runs well to about 25-35 fps. Now i feel like i just want to move from FSX to P3D. now the thing is my laptop is from 2015. and so i was thinking which to choose, the v4 or the v3. short answer is recommended

About 120 km taking off shortly. Better quality that last live broadcast:-) https://youtu.be/1HEo1x3EAxM

To have better formed shadows in the VC I have bumped up the shadow resolution in p3d cfg to 4096, however this seem to be causing noticeable shimmer/jaggies to the shadows of buildings and AIs when looking from a distance at a shallow angle. Can this be reduced somehow, I have 8x msaa set in the sim and shadows at high.

Hi guys, Are there any new sceneries that have been developed that add or update to the Minneapolis Cityscape? I would image now with Flightbeam KMSP that maybe should spark some interest. A search on Avsim or Flightsim yields nothing... It would be nice to have an update that has the new US Bank Center in downtown and several other changes... Thanks

Hello Ya'll, 🚻 Yesterday I enjoyed meeting with our local flight sim club here in southeast New Brunswick! I had a question I was saving up for my fellow geeks, but no one could answer. Therefore, I will ask you. First: I have P3D v4 (Almost 500g worth on a separate 1T SSD), on up-to-date windows 10 (Home), 4.9 Mhz 2700K CPU, 16G RAM, 1080 GTX (with latest drivers) running 25% OC (Afterburner), 55 inch 4K curved Samsung as monitor, all well cooled etc, without hardware issues and really good performance. My latest software acquisition is a great software program that really modernizes my AI suite with advanced models and AI sounds. Love it! However, sm…

Hi guys! Im wondering if im missing something here. Just browsing the Flight1 catalog to see if there' s something new about the mustang / B200, it looks like the B200 has just been released for P3Dv4? There' s no news about this, not even on their facebook page or fselite/airdailyx http://www.flight1.com/products.asp?product=f1b200fsx This is what they say: So, what im missing here? Im downloading it right now just to see...

Hello, I thought I would share this. I had been using Windows 7 on my flightsim computer and I had just updated P3Dv4.1 to 4.2 and was having some issues on scenery that was keeping P3D from starting up. I uninstalled and re-installed the "Client" and "Scenery" while making sure that my anti-virus was turned off so I could be sure that it wasn't getting a corrupt install. Afterward, P3Dv4.2 started up fine with the addon scenery off, so I started activating scenery little by little until it wouldn't start again. I got the Lorby addon-manager and re-installed some scenery outside the main P3D folder and letting Lorby install it correctly. I found tha…

OK for anyone interested I going to give West Wind to First Air a go in an ASG 29. LIve now on YouTube:

Just a quick PSA. I updated to Windows 10 April 2018 Update (v1803) today and P3Dv4.2 and all addons are working as advertised. No issues at all. Did an image backup of my C-drive beforehand just in case. Update went very smooth. Not suggesting folks do this, just wanted to pass along that in my case, there were zero issues (PC specs below).

Hi gents. Need to control sound sliders out of sim. Any chances? Cheers.

Hi, I'm running P3D4.1 and have the open beta Tfdi 717. Due to a screen in screen problem i'm having in the 717 VC, Tfdi support has asked that I remove reshade to start problem solving. Through PTA I 1st tried to reintroduce the original P3D shaders. The problem in the 717 VC persisted. I deleted the reshade/reshader folder and the 3 dxgi files from the P3D root folder. The problem persisted In both situations the "Shift & F2" reshader config overlay banner still appears during the load sequence of P3D. I'm uncertain if reshade is full removed and don't want to report back to tfdi incorrect info. Any community help on completely…

What is the most effective way of restoring the original shaders for Prepar3dv4.2? Kind regards,
