Hello Guys, I hope that all is fine. I've a problem onl my simulator P3Dv4 and I don't why about this issue, I hope that you can help me. In the picture below this text, you can see on the left down side a blue part on the ground, I don't why this happens, probably is a missconfiguration of the P3D, but looking at the forums any posts saids something. Does anyone knows about this issue? Thanks in advance. Roberto :)

Today I tried the pushback function for the first time and it never stopped! It just kept on going. Dont fancy flying backwards myself How can I stop the pushback manually? Thanks Keith

Hi everybody, for several days after I upgraded to P3Dv4 and REX Texture Direct and Soft Clouds for P3Dv4, I notice ugly grey sky textures, especially downwards to the horizon: It seems to be a texture issue when setting with clouds. Do I change to "clear skies" in v4, everything looks fine and clear blue. But as soon as I choose few clouds, the area is grey. Furthermore, I noticed some dirty dark orange clouds on the higher layer (not sure, Cirrus maybe?). This looks weird, because the clouds lower are almost clear white. It's not dusk or dawn, but about noon. Does anybody else notice this issue or maybe can give me a hint to solve it? Tha…

Just curious if anyone has found a workable Fulcrum for v4. The IRIS one and the AFS one don't work, and I haven't found anything else via Sherlock Google, and it's an aircraft I'd love to have available in v4.

All, I've been using P3Dv4 on and off for several months now; but I keep running into this same performance issue that really has me stumped. My system is a "middle of the road" 4790K oc'd to 4.6 with a GTX 1070, 16GB RAM, using a single 39" 1080P screen. I'm not a slider junkie: Autogen is about 75%, no dynamic lights, 4X SSAA, etc. (in short, I don't mind sacrificing some of the bells and whistles for frames). Monitor refresh is set to 30Hz, with Vsync On/Triple Buffering, and frames locked in the the sim at 30 fps. In situations where I can maintain 30 fps, P3D is silky smooth - no micro-stutters, long frames, or any other problems. Performance is perfect…

Hi, if someone please to help me after I updated the P3D to 4.2 my DL in Athens and Copenhagen Airports face upwards and I can not get an answer for this problem. Please if someone can advise me? thank you

Hello, Really like the look of this add-on but have a couple of pre-purchase questions. I have a few GoFlight Modules and I do not go for any add-on aircraft that I cannot use my GoFlight modules with and as I have seen no mention of compatibility with goflight modules I presume it is not. Therefore my question is are the LVARS & Events available to allow the creation of lua scripts. I myself use an GoFlight interface tool that can detect an lvar being set and/or an event being triggered and with this tool I can quickly program e.g. a toggle switch on a goflight module to set an lvar and fire an event. However some add-on aircraft have hidden lvars a…

Greetings all, First I would like to say congrats to the MaddogX team for continuing the MD80. The Leonardo MD80 has always been a great aircraft. Though the DC10 was the first MD jet I flew, the MD80 has always been my favorite aircraft. I do have a lot of love for the DC10 because I flew her for 10 years. I quickly grabbed the MaddogX and decided to do some quick tests. I loaded the aircraft to 130,000 pounds and took the runway for some stall tests. One of the first of things designers get wrong with MD jets is the takeoff and approach pitch. The MD theory of design is low lift high speed wings. This design brings efficient wings but requires higher take…

Hi, CTD occurs during splash screen phase after reading MT6 SimObjects.No error message si displayed, P3D simply closes. MT6 is externalized through Simobjects.cfg entry (old MT6 installation, unmodified since many P3D versions). If I disable the MT6 entry, I don't have the problem. Am I alone? Thanks

I've gone through all the youtube video tutorials and made a crib PDF That should get us all started. Think of it as a beta, taxi in > it's not finished but all the info from the tutorials is all here. I will do a full polished version when out. Its a page on my work web if you wonder why link looks odd http://www.limegallery.co.uk/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/MD-80-simple-version.pdf If you wish to watch all the videos click link below.

I had my switch panel and multi panel working fine in version 3 (without SPAD) and then switched to XP11. Well, now I switched back (yes indeed, crazy) and cannot get the panels to work again. Has anyone had any luck with v4?

Hi guys! Something that excites me a lot about this airplane is the possibility of having failures It adds meaning to the checks and redundant systems. It adds A LOT to the immersion. The other day i had an engine failure juuuuust after rotation in st marteen. That was awesome. Last week i was flying the FSL A320 from TNCM to KPHX when i noticed something. During my routine fuel checks something was strange. The sum of my fuel burn + the remaining fuel should be the same as my block fuel, but it wasnt. I noticed a fuel leak developing on the left wing. I diverted to KJAX. It was indeed a fuel leak. That was amazing. I was wondering if the maddog also featu…

I noticed today that when inputting a waypoint in which multiple ones with the same name exist, you cannot choose which one you want. For instance, today I had HOC as a waypoint and when I looked on the legs page it was the wrong one 1000 miles or so away, it didn't allow me to select which one I wanted

When I fly the open the mad dog configurator it says "Simulator path not found" (screenshot enclosed) http://prntscr.com/iixmzw

Hi, Since I've bought the plane I'm trying to get the load manager correctly. Mission impossible. <<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1g0dE4Na_L73Pjl3OceBD_TnpxzA3Su8t/view?usp=sharing<< As you can see "route" and "legs" remain quite empty. And this for any airports. I've tne new airac 1802 intalled. Any idea to correct this issue Thanks daniel Kittler

I am enroute from PANC to KSAN with the MD82, long flight. I look at my PROG page, and it showing a fuel remaining that is significantly what I have left. Anyone see anything im doing wrong? https://ibb.co/hCnbXc https://ibb.co/cveqsc https://ibb.co/crZekx

Hi Everyone I am very new to P3D and have recently made the switch from FSX to P3DV4.1. I seem to have a good install and have added all my FTX scenery ad airports plus my FSDT and Flight beam airports. My question is in FSX i used to have to deactivate sceneries in my scenery library so it didn't OOM, but since I am now in a 64 bit environment do i still need to do this or does it still remain best practice to deactivate sceneries I am not currently using? Many thanks Barra

Hi guys There's a youtube channel with a lot of training videos divided by topic, system, etc. I will leave the link here in case someone needs it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DeeHTQ5Ijag&list=PLpNS2WzxM5y21lzChvpMWvl7WeUnb1Syk

Hey all, Did some testing to solve the right rudder problem. Left rudder is perfectly fine but right does not work. I installed any FsDreamteam product and lost the right rudder key ( enter on the num pad). There must be some conflict with the FsDreamteam software and the new Prepared version 4.2. Hope this helps

Fellow Simmers Some time ago I posted a spreadsheet I put together to track and share P3D settings as well as Active Sky that many of you were able to take advantage of. I recently updated the spreadsheet and have posted the new version at a dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/swejute9k0z6sox/P3Dv4.2 Settings Chart 2-22-2018.xlsx?dl=0 To help me track my differences between VR and monitor flying I have filled in 3 columns of settings: 2D Monitor Settings (using a 4K 40 inch monitor running at 30Hz) Native VR Settings (using Oculus Rift) FlyInside Settings (using Oculus Rift)…

Hi all. I found an issue where if you have 4K RealLight textures turned on then your fps is very very poor with GPU usage on 100% and RAM using 10gb. Now I have an i7 4790k and a GTX 1060 3GB. I would point the finger at the low memory of my Graphics card.

I might be missing it , where are the liveries how do I download and add them? is there livery manager ? I did not see any downloadable repaints on the request page. Thnx.

Getting this error on all aircraft using the flight1 GTN 750 before plane loads" incompatible sim version, running in either FSX SP2 accel or non supported, if you have new P3D v please run the Flt 1 update" Tried reinstall of the GTN 750 with same results. Thanks tool

I have read countless threads on how to install MyTraffic 6a into P3Dv4. I opted for using the add-on.xml file, and removed the FS9 models without radio settings with SimLauncherX. All is good in that respect. There is plenty of aircraft on the ground in gates. Even smaller GA airports have planes on the ground. My issue is I hardly have any traffic moving around in major airports. I can leave the simulation running for a while waiting for some aircraft to begin taxiing, taking off or land, but barely, and I mean barely anything. Again, I have searched and ready many threads, just have not been able to search and find for the right fix. Any ideas? …
