Having a weird issue at SXAD BNA, most AI disappear after landing, its not all the time but most. I have checked and their are hold short nodes placed, PLENTY of parking at all the gates for any of the airlines that do disappear. It's right after they us their thrust reverse and slow down to taxi down the runway to turn off. I do not see this at any other airport. Any ideas??? SXAD, can you verify this? Its frustrating

Guys, ever since the last update GSX gives trouble and does not push properly. I strongly advice you - do not update.

I installed the Carenado Beech B200 ( the FSX one) it is a mess, need to uninstall it. But can not fine a Way to do it right. Any help would be appreciated thanks

A post in one flightsim forum mentioned that this feature is available in P3D: If available, does anyone know how it is done? "n P3D, there was a CFG editing that added and changed how soon the night lighting turned on. It could turn this on 30 minutes, say, before sunset, and turn it off 30 minutes after sunrise. How it works: Pilot-controlled lighting - AOPA

Looking for a P3DV5 compatible de Havilland Canada DHC-4 Caribou. Thanks

Hi Guys I am looking for some advice regarding the autoland feature of the QW 757. I am having a blast learning to fly this aircraft and have just discovered the autoland feature. The plane decends and flares just prior to landing, however i have noticed that throttles do not disengage. this led to a rather unfortunate incident of me running out of runway at EGJJ. Can anyone offer any advice as to what i am doing wrong? Many thanks Daz

Does anyone have it and can share some opinion about it. Cannot find anything informative about this addon, dev web page is full of words but zero content, YT is also rather empty

Hi there, I have installed ENVSHADE and got it working in P3DV5 however when I try and install ENVTEX for P3DV5. It runs the installer downloads an update for ENVSHADE and then never installs ENVTEX. Am I doing something wrong in trying to install it? Can anyone shed any light?

Hi, I'm now having as issue with P3Dv5.3. When I try to run it, the splash screen appears for about a minute, then it just crashes. This happens every time I try to run it now and I can't figure out how to fix it. I did try adding the executable to my anti-virus and malware programs, I use both bitdefender and Malewarebytes Premium together and I though maybe one of them was blocking it for some reason. I also tried reinstalling P3D itself and uninstalling some add-ons I recently installed but none of these things helped. I also checked the Windows Event Viewer to see if I could find anything there, the only thing that I found related to P3D as far as I could tell is…

Hello all, I am currently exploring all that New Zealand has to offer and would like your best scenery suggestions. I already have all of the payware I could find from previous virtual airlines. I don't care how old it is, as long as it is compatible with ORBX NZNI and NZSI, and P3D V4.5 . If you do suggest something, may I request that you leave a link. Thanks, Andrew

Hello, I recently finished a full sim reinstall, and It's all up and running now. I've tried copying my exact settings and tweaks so that everything would be as before the reinstall, however I've noticed one great difference. Now, after the reinstall, I've been getting enormous FPS drops as soon as my engines have been started up. As soon as they stabilize, My FPS drops from a stable 30-35 to 10-12. As soon as I cut the fuel flow to the engines, my fps jumps back tp 30-35. I never experienced this "drop" before, and I'm therefore wondering if there might be an effect setting or anything like that causing it, which I might have missed. I have this problem with …

Hi, I have one strange problem (seen other discussion about this on avsim but still no clear solution), when I arrive at the airport (that has dynamic lighting), the dynamic lighting does not work, and my plane is completely dark, however when I load P3D to start from that airport the lighting works fine. Might have some problems about using shaders tool like tomato ? or other reasons ? any exp the same problem ? Thanks guys

I have been having trouble for few the past few days downloading the Airbus Fleet. First the FSL Libraries will start downloading and the bar showing the percentage complete will disappear never finshing. Then since the Airbus A320X is next to download it will start but about 30% do the same thing. I already tried asking FSLabs for support but they keep telling me the servers are working on their end and to turn off my antivirus, but all i have is windows defender and that is turned off. Tried downloading using Wifi , Ethernet and VPN with the same result.How to fix this?

Gestern habe ich die IFly 737max gekauft und sofort eine Runde geflogen. Nachdem er viele Stunden die PMDG 737 geflogen hatte, war der Transfer intuitiv. Erst beim Start des Motors musste ich etwas härter versuchen, aber nachdem ich einen Schalter umgelegt habe, der anders funktionierte als der auf der PMDG, habe ich die Motoren zum Laufen gebracht. In den Foren über die 737max gibt es nicht viel zu finden, also hier sind die folgenden Fragen: Im Programm gibt es verschiedene Führer über alle möglichen Dinge. Das Lesen all dies, zumal ich ein Inhaltsverzeichnis vermisse, ist schwierig und als jemand mit PMDG-Erfahrung nicht unbedingt interessant. Deshalb habe ich hi…

I am running Windows 10 and P3D 5.3 on two monitors. (Can't go to W11 as CPU is too old). The problem I have is that when I click on the 2nd monitor to access the map (or other things running there), the sound focus drops from the main monitor. It is not the end of the world but is still annoying. Is there a way to keep the original sound (basically the engines and environment) going, while clicking on the 2nd monitor? I have looked but can't find anything.

For some time [ 4 years] I own the PMDG 747 / 777 all models and I am noticing an issue with the speed lately when I land. Not to mention the bounce landings on the 777 / 747. Of course, I submit ticket with the PMDG so I can discuss the issue and to be solved. For a week of responses I get that they blame all the stuff happening on other issues. I shared number of videos and even with autoland the 777 is very tricky on the speed. Check at 3:38 - this is the moment of touchdown, then you will see that the speed goes down, then up, than again down, then up. Even on autoland this is happening, in smaller scale, but happening. …

Hello everyone, I brought myself back into experimenting with enhanced atmospherics and volumetric clouds, attempting to get lighting in general a touch closer to MSFS or at least a little more natural looking. My current biggest hurdle appears to be getting night lighting looking "right", particularly when the moon is present - which illuminates ground, water, aircraft, and clouds incredibly bright compared to what I've experienced in my real life flying; and just looks "wrong" on my own setup. I've tried combinations of REX SkyForce, Envshade, and RDShade (but settled back to default shaders) without much impact and some cfg edits (which appear to be placebos). …

Depending on the airport/location, my FPS ranges anywhere from 5-10 to low 50s, and either smoothly displays or lags and stutters like crazy. I'm at a loss as to why, since benchmarking my system (see image below) indicates it should perform much better than what I'm seeing. My system and software specs are: Windows 10 Pro, Version 10.0.19045 Build 19045; Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7820X CPU @ 3.60GHz, 3600 Mhz, 8 Core(s), 16 Logical Processor(s); Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 64.0 GB; NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080; P3Dv5.3.17.28160; LINDA 3.3.5.1363; FSUIPC6, Version 6.1.9; Orbx (BASE pack, openLC North America, Buildings HD, TerraFlora v2, Airport Pack); Chaseplan…

Hi all, I’m experiencing issues with some sceneries from UK2000 such as Luton, Stansted. After installing I can’t get to those airport. P3D crash. Also if I fly near those airports. it doesn’t happen with others like Belfast, Newcastle…I can’t use those airports. thanks P3Dv5+ORBX GLOBAL + Europe.

Hello all, I created a topic for about 2 weeks ago regarding a simconnect issue. I had to go offline for a week, so the topic sort of went dead. I've also discovered some new things about my issue so I decided to repost. I've had a strange issue for apprx 2 months now, where all simconnect-dependant addons aren't functioning. Vpilot doesnt register the flight as loaded. Chaseplane has problems connecting to the sim. FSlabs 320 wont fully load. PMDG 747 throttle is stuck. etc. I've read about all these problems and Im quite sure they are caused by simconnect issues. I believe I didn't make any changes whatsoever when the problem appeared, it just spawned. I've tried…

Hey guys, Over the last month or so, using AIG AI and a mix of my own, I have run into a major issue. I no longer see any air traffic in flight and when landing, very few if any arrivals land. Using AIGTC, but I disabled that and am still getting this issue. Any thoughts on what could be causing this? AI is set at 100% as is GA traffic. I am at a loss. I've been flight simming for about 20 years now and have never seen this. No one at AIG seems to know either and I have changed nothing in my sim, it just randomly started happening, specifically after just going through routine AIGTC updates and AIM AIG updates it just happened.

I have Prealsoft Casablanca - GMMN - but for this post it's disabled as I'm trying to identify how these jetways are getting loaded. I have checked Virtuali\GSX for any GMMN entries and you can see the default ones have been generated. But where are the brown ones with lettering coming from? I've searched all the obvious places and with the 3rd party Casablanca having been disabled it's not from that. There is a jetway.bgl in the package but I've renamed that so it doesn't get loaded. I'm mystified.
