I'm loving the way that aircraft light's illuminate the clouds and reflect of them! There's on other sim that has this feature at the moment. I am finding however that road traffic at night does not have lights and that there are no animated lights off buildings at night eg the Burj at OMDB which is iconic.

Hey everyone, Before I do a quick dive into my initial reactions, let's keep the replies constructive. I have fairly old system (to be honest, it really is keeping well with all the sims including VR on Quest 2 -- there is a reason for this, but that is conversation for another day). It does appear that P3Dv6 is using an improved mesh (would like others to chime in). It does have VRR (Variable Refresh rate, won't apply to my use) and other all sorts of graphics settings like TAA, SSAO, Custom Tone Mapping, Cubemap Reflections, Planar Reflections etc. Heck you can talk in VR to reset the view by voice (Learning Center has new things listed in it). …

From https://www.prepar3d.com/SDKv6/prepar3d/what_is_new/new_v60.html Prepar3D v6.0 Features and Enhancements Release Notes The next evolution of the Prepar3D simulation platform is here with Prepar3D v6. An all new custom atmospherics system brings next level realism with highly detailed volumetric clouds, atmospheric scattering, and weather conditions. New rendering features including screen space ambient occlusion (SSAO) and temporal anti-aliasing (TAA) enhance fidelity bringing higher graphics detail to objects and shadows. Environments react to weather conditions with precipitation accumulation including rain and snow on surfaces and objects which also s…

Hello, I just bought P3D v5, the latest version; I downloaded and installed it fine. It loads up fine to the start-up screen until I start a scenario where it's stuck at 0% "Loading scenery objects." It's a fresh install thus no addons or anything. Any ideas? I have P3D 4.5 installed, and it worked fine for me. I have an i9-9900k GTX 1070 Founders Edition. I deleted scenery config and nothing. Its interesting to note, that when I load up P3D 4.5 and quit it and then load P3D V5 it works. But if I quit P3D v5 the problem goes back, makes no sense to me. Help

So it has been officially announced: https://fselite.net/content/lockheed-martin-announces-prepar3d-v6/

P3Dv6 now available

Hi, Does anyone know of a Boeing 737MAX profile for PFPX? Would be highly appreciated. Many thanks in advance.

Hi, I just made a full reinstallation of Win 11 ad P3D v 5.4. I did not fully reinstall ORBX, but just made a synchroinsation of the sim, as all my ORBX is outside P3D I reinstalled my sceneries, including FT EHAM, disabled the dummy bgl. EHAM scenery is above ORBX in the addon declaration. Now I have the altitude problem and tried many things all this afternoon, without success. I have looked the FT and ORBX forum, tried the solutions without success. Any Idea to help me? Thank's Yves from ELLX

Hello to everyone, I'm not new on the forum but this is probably my very first post. These days I would have liked to flown the marvellous Antonov AN-2 developed by ATSimulations (Andrey Tsvirenko) but the results is the ATSimulations servers are down and is not possible to fly the aircraft because it need internet connection for anti-piracy checking. Already tried several times to contact the developer but he seem vanished. So from now ahead all ATSimulations addons became unuseful with a big black box instead the cabin. Anyone know how to contact the developer to solve this situation and maybe remove this internet check from the addons? Mostly of the developers…

Since I've never bought the Academic version of P3d, I am unfamiliar with the "watermark" that I am hearing about. I've always used the Pro version. Exactly what does the watermark look like and is it a distraction in the sim itself. The new pricing is attractive in the Personal version, and I would like to purchase that version if the watermark is not affecting the sim's realism. Are we absolutely sure that the Personal version will have the watermark imbedded? Stan

Hi all. I've currently been trying to figure something out regarding my PRO-ATC-SR. Until recently it has been functioning very well and doing just fine, however recently when trying a flight from Narita to YYZ in the QW 787 it has been suffering large FPS Drops (like 8-10). This hasn't happened before and I'm somewhat confused as to why. I reinstalled the software and so far no improvement. I'll retry it again with different airports to try and figure this out further. I know this isn't technically the official forum for it and there's no tab in specific on here for PRO-ATC. But the last time someone posted something on their forum was like February and I've he…

Did I read somewhere that Active Sky will not be ready for P3dv6 when it debuts? I can't seem to find WHERE I read that, but that's what I'm writing about. How will we generate real weather in V6? Will we be resorting to the Real Weather toggle in the sim until something comes along, or will we have to just click on a weather scenario in which we want to fly? Stan

On the license page I don't know if anyone has paid attention we now have AI. Behind the scenes it shows Military AI is here and is in use by the Military (I can only infer and it is coming). Welcome to Skynet. One should be able to create awesome flying scenarios with AI.

Hi there, I recently made the switch to P3DV5 from FSX-SE. I purchased the MK Studios Dublin Airport add-on and I noticed that the old terminal building has strange textures. I have already consulted MK Studios support and I was advised to change the texture quality settings and clear the shaders folder but this made no difference. He also suggested that it might be an error with my PC in terms of it reducing texture size and causing artifacts. This might be the case but typically the problems I get on my PC with have been related to blurries and FPS issues, not missing textures like this. Also the rest of MK Studios EIDW appears fine and in my exp…

After Tobii5 install my hat switch is locked even when not using head tracking?

Is anyone else experiencing problems with downloading weather data in AS P3D? I can start the program, but it gets stuck in "Downloading". I have v8557.

This is probably a long shot but does anyone else own MKJS by Final Approach Sim and have issues with the grass showing on the tarmac and trees around the airport? I dont have any grass at mine and its all cement...... I posted something in their forums and they said ORBX could be the issue, however, I am not going to deactivate my ORBX LC libraries for this scenery. Just wondering if anyone found a fix or is having same issue?
