Hi i wondered if Orbx England modelled accurate firelds so you can go gliding and land on the fields just like real life. For example: south-down gliding club, storrington. -Ollie

For anyone using Navigraph Charts Cloud the server is no longer working. I cannot log into their forum either. Anyone else seeing this?

It's come to my attention that some customers are having problems installing their RealAir products due to being unable to reactivate their keycodes. If you or anyone you know is having this problem, please contact me at: [email protected] Please also note: For some months now I have been unable to receive emails addessed to [email protected], and I have been unable to log in to realairsimulations.com to fix the site's problems. I do not have access to or control of these accounts. As a result there is nothing I can personally do to fix these problems.

Hi recently started to use Multi Crew Experience with p3d v4 only the ATC part of it, everything else deactivated. Hope someone can help with two short question 1) Even though I deactivated everything but the ATC bit I still hear som chatter from ground crew etc. Can these be turned off somewhere I am missing. Not very realistc as my aircraft is the A2A c172 2) The ATC bit works amazing. With my Saitek radio panel I can dial in all freq and talk to various controllers along my route without even touching the keyboard, except for one segment of every flight, when contacting a Tower. Is there a way around having to go through the menu and select ”nearest airp…

Hi, I am looking for a tool creating fps charts. I know two of them: - Simlauncher did this quite nicely, however, I am unable to start it any longer (some issue with the database) and it doesn't seem to be maintained anymore. - Ideal Flight seems to provide nice charts as well, but I am afraid it's a bit of overkill just for that purpose. Are there any other tools (freeware or inexpensive payware) for providing such charts (as pdf or jpg or in another format not requiring too much postprocessing)? Thanks for any hint and kind regards, Michael

Hi everybody, I am experiencing very poor performance in P3D and I don't really know what to do about it. Also loading takes ages. I run P3D on a iMac (Windows10 trough Bootcamp), and I don't want to open up my iMac. I have already added RAM memory (now 24 iso 8), but I have a feeling there is something wrong with my hard disk. Here is a screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/k3njMFB The Disk constantly runs at 100% and the read speed seems very low. What could I do about this? Would it help to run P3D from an external SSD with USB3 (I have only thunderbolt 1 and USB3)?

Has anybody noticed that in daytime IFR (or IMC) conditions the airport lighting for Flightbeam's HD airports (KPHX, KDEN, KIAD, KSFO) is not on? It makes shooting approaches to minimums very difficult. I have posted this issue on the FB support page (in this case for KDEN) with the following response from Mir: "There is daytime IFR lights in KMSP, so this is something I've done before. So the answer is yes, this can be done for KDEN. However, since KDEN just got a substantial update, this won't happen anytime soon." I take the implication that the other 3 airports listed will not be fixed since they all had recent updates. Anybody have any suggestions as to how to f…

Guys, we want to show the LDA offset approach with prescribed tracks to runway 22 in the next Airline2Sim 777 Program but this airport is not a good performer - this is in V4. Anyone got any tips to make it run better? I know Tokyo is a dense area but with the default Tokyo I have no issue. Any tips gratefully received. Sadly there aren’t many other places you’d take a 777 with offset LDAs.

I’ve been looking into enhancing the AI in my P3D environment, but would like to limit the AI traffic to the airports in my region, i.e. Mid-Atlantic & New England. I have read a lot on how to focus on specifc airlines, but haven’t seen much on airports. The AI packages I’d like to use would be either UTlive and/or AI Flight Planner, or a combination of the two. Any help and insight would by much appreciated. Mike

Dear Pals I installed FlyMaddog 64 version on my WIn10 with i7 and 16 gb RAM, using P3d v4.1 but when I load it (normally cold and dark) as soon as I start following the procedures I receive a windows message: you run out of memory and this application will close. What am I to do? Thanks in advance Reynaldo

Hello everyone, my ftx central v3 is always messing up the order of my scenery entries in the scenery.cfg file. now i'd like to know in which order the orbx/ftx products need to placed in order for them to work properly. My order that i have is: FTXAA_ORBXLIBS FTX_AA_GLOBAL_AIRPORTS FTX_AA_LSGK ORBX!OPENLC_SAMERICA1 ORBX!OPENLC_EUROPE1 ORBX!OPENLC_NAMERICA1 ... ... ORBX!VECTOR_OBJ ORBX!VECTOR_APT ORBX!VECTOR_CVX ORBX!VECTOR_EXX (1107 Base) ... (0000 Base) ORBX!VECTOR_AEC Default Scenery im actually quite sure that this order isnt correct because if i disbale for example…

Hello! Recently my HDD with all my P3D files died. I bought a new one but i cant uninstall P3D because every time i try to do it this message occurs-the folder path P3D V4 contains an invalid character. After many tries i had the client uninstalled from my programs and features but the scenery and content are impossible to remove. And when i try to run the installer it says that i didnt uninstall the old version. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi, I'm having a bit of a problem with my p3d v4 ground steering. With the FSL A320 the nosewheel turns but the aircraft turns very slowly. I've also had this issue with other addon aircraft, but some work. PMDG aircraft are fine. With full deflection of the rudder and tiller, the aircraft turns very slowly. Any advice? Arnav

hello, after installing for the first time the v4.2, it seem like the picture is really blurry, especially inside the PMDG models, the outside look bit better. i figured out that there is more clear picture as i more get close to the object or zoom in. i tried to look for a solution for Hours in google and i couldn't find the settings that can improve it to much better picture, the best i could get is to add 8XSGSS to Invidia Inspector (30% better) already tried: FXAA off, mipmap in settings, SSAA X 8 , DSR at invidia control panel, my settings: FXAA:off , texture filtering: anisotropic X16, AA:8 X MSAA, Texture Resolution at Ultra, Resulution 1…

Cheers brothers.

I already have Orbx FTX Norway and love flying the Q 400 in that country. I would like to get another region , and wondering what region would have the most airports suitable for the Q400: England Germany North Germany South Ireland Scotland.

Hi, i have searched but could not find an answer. My horizon is all jaggy and uneven and not sure why this is happening. I'm using V4.2, orbx, PTA / RESHADE

So I started playing p3d again and i currently have v4. I see that the latest version is 4.2. Do I need 4.1 first then update to 4.2 and do I have to do another complete install again? I really hope not because I have so many add ons. I also just purchased just flight traffic global and it says it's for p3d v4 but no mention of 4.2. In addition, my favorite add on super traffic board states that they will only make updates for p3d v4.2 and on. So the question is how do all these work together if one supports this version and one supports that version. I thought working together was the big feature of p3d. I can't keep up with these updates and wonder when they will releas…

Just looking for some performance info from anyone who has installed it on P3D v 4.2. Thanks. Bill McCracken

Just posting here as a last resort in case someone has had a similar issue. Using the Power Pack for UTII (latest PPack) to create an add-on schedule/airline with P3dv4.1 has been failing at the "writing database" stage. The Power Pack just hangs at 0% after calculating all the various flight plans for the traffic being created. Program is running as an admin and all folders have correct permissions, etc. I've left this twice overnight to see if it was just slowly running in the background, but no luck. Eventually have to kill the program. I've left many questions in the UTII support forum, but that place is a ghost town since Live released and it seems F1 woul…

Haven't been able to get to the Orbx website for a while. Apparently it's down everywhere. Anyone know what's going on?

My P3D is having a weird glitch. As you can see, the windows input looks fine and smooth, but for some reason, in P3D its very glitchy, jumpy, etc. Any ideas?

The guys from fselite are always sharing all kinds of good stuff, and i found this... https://fselite.net/p3dv4-compatible-airport-map/ Just click on the airport you want and you have all the info available.

Hi. I Had FTX Central 3 already installed and it was ok. Today, after some weeks, I went to open it, and won't do it. It pop up in a blank window and stuck so. I tried to download the installer from orbx site, double click on it and does the same: a blank installer windows and stuck. What's up? I checked in fix central 3 folder, opened log file and it says: "System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Bugsnag.Clients.WPFClient' threw an exception. ---> System.ArgumentException: You must provide a valid Bugsnag API key" What can I do? Thanks

Just saw a post by DD on FaceBook. A new version of this product, v1.1, has been sent to stores and should become available this weekend. Customers will be notified as soon as the new version is available. They stated the update is payware but owners of the previous verions will only pay the price difference. Features: - KSEA airport added - KPAE new passenger terminal added (with interior and SODE jetways) - KPAE new static aircraft (including Dreamlifter) - KRNT new static aircraft - Many little issues fixed Can't wait to see how this compares to T2G KSEA. I hear KSEA is the 2021 future version as construction is still in progress.
