Really curious to know what airport scenery P3D users place above all others, maybe this can become a thread where others can discover places they have never been or even thought of visiting. With that in mind, my absolute favourite airport scenery in P3D (5.3) is WFSS's ZSPD Shanghai Pudong. Textures are great, butter smooth performance even with 200+ AIG AI in and around the airport, I'm still averaging between 35 to 45 fps. Nightlighting is first class, not too bright, just right. It's somewhere I am highly unlikely to visit IRL so I have no real frame of reference, but I still find myself coming and going from here (virtually) more often then not, I am cur…

Hello Community! So I got myself the QW787 and directly missed GSX/SimBrief Integration FSLabs has to offer - so I have spent most of my time developing for instead of flying the Plane 🙄 Since that might be of interest for other Users, I've published it on GitHub - you can get it there along with a (hopefully) extensive Readme! If this Toolset is of interest to you, can be answered easily by yourself: - Wished that you could just get the planned Fuel and Weights from your SimBrief OFP automatically by calling the GSX Services? Without any Payload Dialog or Dispatch Page / Dispatcher involved? - Wished that the Plane was actually & progressively ref…

I was specifically looking at the Captain Sim 737-300, 757 and 767 base model aircraft for P3Dv5. I'm just wondering what people think of these planes. They look nice in the photos but I want to know how deep the systems go and how accurate are the flight models for them. I had a difficult time finding reviews of these planes but I did find a couple regarding the 757, two separate reviews said the flight model is trash but I would like more feedback on that. I couldn't find any useful reviews on the other two planes. If I do buy one, I wanted to start with the 737-300 because I think it's an interesting 737 variant.and it's a cheaper base model (I'm on a fairly tight…

Hi - can anyone possibly advise if they encountered similar issues using P3Dv5.3HF2 / Aerosoft Airbus Pro aircraft A318/19 & A320/321 series v.1.4.3.2? The switch functions but the light option dim & bright do not work. I've checked the amount of items in the respective Airbus "effects" folders and 51 are indicated (50 + 1 texture folder) whilst previously I believe there were 55 in other versions. Can someone please confirm? Thank you. Herman

Hi Guys There are a couple of things that I have always wanted to do when it comes to flight sim, one is a transatlantic flight and the other is to recreate some of the flights I have done in real life. I have flown from London Luton (EGGW) to Schiphol (EHAM) many times and am looking to replicate this particular flight. I have the UK2000 for Luton and would dearly like to get a scenery add on for EHAM, I gather that Fly Tampa has two versions. I have read online that it can be quite a demanding airport due to it's size so I am not sure which version to go for. I don't mind if its not 100 percent accurate am just looking for something to add to the immersi…

I was looking to finally try learning to fly an Airbus, I was looking at FSLabs planes but I noticed that in the descriptions it specifically says they are compatible with P3Dv5.0, 5.1 and 5.2 but doesn't mention P3Dv5.3 so are they not compatible with v5.3? I also wanted to ask about the Aerosoft 318/319 and 320/321 packages, are they any good? Are they worth the price? 'm assuming FSLabs are better from what I've read so far, anyone correct me if I'm wrong. I always prefer to have the best if possible but if the Aerosoft planes are decent enough, I'm okay with that.

Just wanted to share some work in progress pics of KONT for P3D v4.5+ Hope you like it! David

Using P3Dv4. The aircraft are in/at the assigned parking spots, but they do not depart - no taxi nada. I have the following. time set for 24hr local time (same problem if I use GMT) with a 09:00 departure. I have sat in another aircraft on the tarmac for 3 hours (using 2x speed) and the aircraft never moves. Any idea why this might be? Any help appreciated.

Anyone know if an MD-87 was ever produced for P3D?

Hi all, I´m having issue with LHBP Terminal II WIZZAIR RYR PIER . At night the frames drop down due to de Dynamic Light. Only happen in PIER at night, when I go to other terminal the frames go back to normal. Any help? Thanks

UPDATE: The P3D version of EIDW will not be updated. Disregard the following. This was posted on MK Studios Facebook page yesterday. Dublin v 1.2.0 - AFCAD fixes, - Visual improvements to the new runway area, - Further compatibility and stability update. This is the last update for Dublin v1. v1 is for P3D v4 onwards. Nice to see they haven't abandoned P3D users. It's the last update for P3D but I imagine most of us can live with that. The addition of the second runway was the important thing.

Hello, Does anyone know how to install the iniBuilds Dynamic lighting for TG2 VHHH for P3Dv5.3? The "readme" file included in the download folder is wrong and is intended for another airport that is not VHHH, which is very weird. Can someone help me and give me instructions to install the DL for VHHH please.

Hi all- I've installed the aircraft and have set up power and condition levers in their control panel. With engine 1 and 2 set at 18000 (idle), my left power level is 1/8 inch further forward than the right power lever on my quadrant. Or, conversely, the right is 1/8 inch lower. How do you fix this so the control levers are equal? I couldn't find anything regarding how to accomplish this. Thanks, Mark

Chris Clack did a good job by updating the PNW region. Check ORBX central. PNW is now on version 1.9.4. The changelog is rather extensive; about 50 changes. Glad to see that FSX/P3D still gets some love from ORBX. Chris; thank you so much. Rein

Does TE need Global base and it's LC components, or does it have it's own? Mark

Hello, i never had this issue but now i don't know what's happening I never use pre-filled flightplans or anything. I am in prepar3dv5 Regards, Aitor

Hi all, When using the MK Studios EIDW scenery in my P3D V5.3 on approach to to 28L I notice an array of wind generators to my left. AFAIK these do not exist in real life, even though MK Studios say different. I have done many searches and can find no reference to these in RL. I have also tried to 'remove' them by renaming some of the BGL's to off but without success . Anyone have any ideas, as to whether they actually do exist or as to how to remove them, please? TIA.

Hi, Owners of the MJC8Q400 wil find today an update were you will be able to install in P3D V4, V5, and V6! Would that indicate that p3dv6 is more close to be released as we thought? Cheers Richard

Hi all, I think I need scenery for Heathrow, and when it comes to scenery in the UK, I never know which one to get. It looks like the two current options are: Aerosoft Mega Airport London Heathrow Professional P3D UK2000 Heathrow Extreme V3 Are there any other options, and are the ones above the most current versions from each developer/publisher? I typically fly will full AI, so I am looking for scenery that looks good, but also performs well. Because of my addiction to AI, performance is probably most important. Which option is the best for me? Thanks!

Hi! After freshly reinstalling P3D v5.3 HF2, whenever I try to open an in-sim menu such as the GSX, SODE or ATC menu, they will not show up. When opening the GSX menu and clicking in the general area of the menu, I do get a response in the simulator (i.e the stairs operate) but the menu is invisible so It's impossible to operate. I tried searching various forums about the topic and tried doing the following: - Reinstalling the sim again and again and reinstalling the client - Using the Delete generated files.exe - Reinstalling GSX, SODE Of course, none of the above worked… Any help is appreciated Thank you!

I am struggling to find an accurate current status for this military airfield in England. Apparently it was set to be closed in 2019, but then this was delayed until 2025. However, Google maps shows big white crosses at the ends of both runways, so I do not know for certain. Is the airfield still operational? Have those crosses been removed, or is the airfield actually closed now? If it is indeed closed (and those white crosses are current), I would like to update my P3D version of the airfield to reflect this.

Good morning to all, I have this problem with the Cagliari scenario (LIEE made by NSS) I know the scenario is not compatible with v5 as it was created for v3, but with p3d v4 it was fine. However, with p3d v5 I have this problem: If I move the view away, the scenario is loaded correctly, for example if I landed, a piece of texture is missing (which appears when moving away the view!) Is there any solution? It is the only decent scenario for Cagliari on P3D and I would like to fly there again after years. Below there are the screenshot of the problem: https://ibb.co/HG8LKHB Here is ok https://ibb.co/zRjfks1 Here not.. 😔 Thanks!

Hello everyone, I would like to reproduce the Sully Water landing using P3D-V4 and canot find any thing on the subject. Anyone having managed to do that? Any addon? Any trick like creating a seaport on the hudson bay? (but would a non amphibian acft waterland on a sea port? ) I can not imagine nobody worked on that? Thank you so much in advance Best regards All

So I bought the Aerosoft A318/319 package and I'm learning how to use the MCDU (FMC). Coming from Boeing FMC's it's significantly different. So far I'm mostly figuring it out ok except when it comes to visually checking my flight plan on the ND. I turn the knob to Plan Mode but I don't see any way to step through the waypoints. I did a web search and found someone said that there is a button on the MCDU called "MFD ADV" which does it but I don't see any button named that on the MCDU anywhere so I'm stuck. I need to make sure my flight plan is ok with no issues before I go flying. I appreciate any advice, thanks.

So I have P3D v4 and would like to use Tomato Shade as I want to improve the look of the sky especially during the golden hour. The problem I have is that with the shaders installed, if I try to fly on a moonless night it is too dark to see the cockpit even using the night vision included in TacPack. For example, I've been flying the F/18 from VRS a lot lately and usually like to start the aircraft myself. Before, even on a moonless night I could see enough with the help of Night Vision to get everything started but now even with NV I can't see any buttons or displays in the cockpit. Is there any way to be able to keep the shaders but make it just a little easier to …
