Is it just me or is the overhead panel blurry? I have tried changing the resolution in the control manager and that doesn't make any difference. Just an update, this is only visible when the panel lighting is turned on.

Since I could not find answer on the product page I though I post my question here. I am wondering if the Fly the Maddog X product features custom ground physics similar to PMDG's DC-6, 747 and 777 as well as the entire A2A product range, the Majestic Q400 and the FSLabs A320 or does the Maddog come with the highly unrealistic default ground friction model? There are quite a few otherwise great products that still come with the awful default P3D ground physics and I am trying to ask in advance as I do not intend to buy anything in the future that does not come with custom coded ground friction model. Thank you kindly for your response and have a great evening.

Hey guys I have just noticed that I have an envtex folder which I have not seen there before 4.2 .In my add-ons folder. And in sim I have checked the menu Addons and noticed envtex in scenery library at the first spot above all airport sceneries. is that normal? could that be causing me at ctd App crash hang? any help is appreciated thanks mike

Hello there, first of all thanks for this great release. Congratulations. Should I have menus for Leonard or Maddog in the windows start menu? All are in the desktop as direct access but I always prefer having them in the main menu. Regards

Hello! I am just loading the plane, and testing it.. and wish to know which keys I could use to disconnect autopilot, toga, and other functions to map in the joystick with FSUIPC. Thanks!

I'm wondering if anyone has got the latest version for P3D v4 and is it worth it? For cities such as Los Angeles, how well does it play with FTX Southern California? Since that area is a real fps eater already. I'm thinking it's only worth it to purchase for those who don't have FTX Southern California. There are also other cities like Chicago, and San Francisco as well. Does this just replace the buildings?

Has anyone updated to to the new version 1.92 of FlyInside to be used with P3Dv4.2? If so I have a couple questions: Is it backwards compatible with version 4.1? How exactly do you update from a previous version, I have 1.91 installed now? Did you see any issues or performance improvement after doing the update with v4.2? Thanks in advance Joe

Hello, I got Ultimate Traffic Live about 5 months ago and it has been working fine ever since. But lately I've been receiving problems with it in the form of a crash during a P3D v4.2 startup, P3D works and starts fine but the UTL loading screen crashes. I looked at the event viewer and it said that the faulting module was kernelbase.dll. I started P3D again with the same error message, and then headed for my task manager to end the UTL processes and restart my sim, but this still did not work. Any thoughts? Should I reinstall UTL? As a side note that may be of importance, I am not at the latest update and I don't really know how exactly to update this program. I nee…

I recently installed P3D v4.2. Fresh install. After loading orbx global, RE LC and Germany N/S, I can no longer get consistent fps while engaged in vsync, the flights are no longer fluid, put a stuttering mess, with 1-2 second pauses. Does anyone have similar experience?

Went Back To V4.1 after 7 hours of trying to troubleshoot. V4.2 was lagging way behind any mouse clicks by about 10-20 seconds. Trying to takeoff and it would stop and go all the way down the runway basically making it a slide show. I lost the ability to use my NUM PAD to look around the flightdeck and to scroll around the aircraft outside. Going back to 4.1 solved this. Do you have any clues as to what is going on? I think this needs to go back to the BETA team. Randy Smith

I have been plaqued for some time by intermittent pauses that really diminishes my immersion. These are not the millisecond stutters that are discussed in great length in many forums. These are pauses where the P3DV4 freezes anywhere from 1 to 5 seconds. Frame rate are decent 30 - 40 when these occur. I recently upgraded my computer to try to eliminate these. My new system is a 6 core i5-8600K processor (newest Intel processor ) overclocked to 4.9 Ghz (tested stable using Prime95 torture testing). P3DV4 and all add-ons are installed on a M.2 SSD with a x4 PCIe M.2 connection.....but with all of this power, brand new system and new install...the pauses are still…

Upgraded to P3d V.2 over the weekend, went back to 4.1 last night because 4.2 cased lags freezing and stutters,virtually unflyable. Now the default AI traffic is back along with my 3rd Party AI program. How do I get rid of the default AI. Thanks Randall Smith

Hi, i own orbx global base,vector and openLC Europe but my textures are mess.I have the latest libraries.The terrain sliders are all the way to the left and high res textures is ticked.Any help?

Seems this is not P3D4.2 compatible....?

Hi Folks, I was giving vector a go, but first site I try is KSEA and I'm having issues at the airport... No addons, vanilla just global and vector. If I disable the airport in vector tool, incorrect textures are everywhere (trees houses roads, etc) but if I leave it enabled, the airport seems fine (I recall seeing on some screenshots some tanks to the right but I don't seem them here though) but the whole airport seems to be a little sunk into the ground (a look straight back from your starting point shows clearly a large house half in the air...). Has anyone seen this or know what could be the problem? Also would it be possible for you to share a screenshot of …

I would like your opinion please. I have about $200 to burn and am looking for a new plane. Are those 2 the best options and which one? I already have all of PMDG, Q400. Thanks Bernd

I did reply to a duplicate thread about this exact topic written in 2008 to keep things clean but for some reason it was deleted, so here's a brand new thread about an existing topic. I want to have internal sounds on my wing views which, through EZDok, are external. I've tried duplicating the internal soundfiles and renaming them in external format, but this doesn't really work as there are more internal sounds than externals which means only a few of them play at once. I was wondering if anybody had achieved this and how. Many thanks

Good day! Tomorrow will be a great day!!! Will the paintkit available the realase day?

The patch turned off my Clear Type and reset (in power config) my CPU minimum to 5 %. So. . . If you're having issues with the 4.2 update, you might want to check those settings. N99WB

Just would like to know whether you are considering to make a version with the "old school" cockpit, like this one:

Hi all, Just by accident , I was trying to assign the R key to On/Off in Fs2Crew RAAS, I found out that , although it seemd programmed , there happened nothing when I pressed the R key. Yesterday a Fs friend of mine asked me if I knew why his Trim Up/Down buttons on his Yoke did not work in P3D , although they appeared as programmed in the menu. So I tested several assignments : P is working and appearing onscreen , Y is working but not appearing onscreen ( set to appear in the menu ) , Cycle views assigned to a key/button does nothing. Refresh scenery does not work... Because there are also buttons that do work I am wonering what might have caused this an…

Hi everyone, Whenever i open the GSX menu for the second time it will automatically requests deboarding. I have contacted FSDT and they have told me it is not an issue or bug with GSX. It was suggested it might be FSUIPC however i have completely uninstalled that and the issue remains. Is the a bug with P3D itself then? Its super annoying. Is anyone else having this issue or know of a fix / way around it?

Hi. I'm not sure if this is a PMDG issue or 4.2. My front view pans into the runway after looking left or right. I want the view to stay the same and avoid hitting ctrl+spacebar. Any thoughts? Tim

For some reason when I went to install the Client for V4.2 I lost my scenery and content installs as well and my P3d would not launch, I don't know why it happened. I have done many of these client upgrades so it isn't because I don't know what I am doing. So I downloaded the entire install file and reinstalled the Scenery and Content and P3dv4.2 opened up. Today I was looking at my P3d files in Programs and Features and noticed I do not have an Academic Client unistall file. Can I do a REPAIR install to get this back with out missing up my whole program. Thanks Randy S
