I recently purchased a custom built PC exclusively for P3dv4 and am just installing the 3rd party peripherals. I would like to know which is the better traffic program to purchase/install....Aerosoft (Bernard Renk) MyTraffic Professional 6.0a OR Flight1 Ultimate Traffic? Thanks Dom

Hi guys, I am commited to do a CPU upgrade or a total PC upgrade with motherboard, just for P3D V4. As you all know, P3D V4 is CPU hungry. It brings my 6700K easily to its knees. Running it with Process Lasso and using AM excluding core 0 and 1 from running P3D is giving me a nice performance boost. However, when flying I am getting 100% CPU usage all the time. It's like the CPU cannot take the weight of the entire world. My settings are medium, not too high not too low. Just to have a nice experience. Running all the addons is no issue, except when actual flying begins and the whole dynamic world starts to rumble. The CPU then starts to bash the 100% marker and…

I have a problem with small AI planes at the moment. In short....they are parking at large Ramp slots when there are much smaller parking spots available. I really have no idea why this has started happening, because they parked at more sensible locations perfectly fine in the past. Does anyone have an idea why they may be doing this, and a solution? It is really annoying me!

I have been in a installing process because I moved from P3D v3.4 to 4.1. Almost everything is okay now par the MyTraffic6. I have followed orders from here: I have installed MYT6 with it´s installer and created that add-on.xml. When I come to the part where it says: "Launch Prepar3D, You will see this message, Click Yes, MyTraffic 6 is now active" No, I don´t see any message like that. And when I go to Options- add- ons, there are other add ons but not MYT6! Add-on.xml is now in Documents > Prepar3D v4 Add-ons , MyTraffic in c:\MyTrafficProfessional and P3D in c:\Prepar3D v4. What I am missing here?

Hi. After the Windows 10 1709 update i was having a hard time using the start menu in Windows. This seems to have fixed itself. Not sure why though. But I noticed i still have this problem with mouseclicks or keyboard warning sound as if i was repeating a click. Sometimes aften choosing Aircraft in the menu it starts the sceneryloading automatically even without picking up the airport and gates. Then it load up default scenery. When using PFPX i also gets this Windows ding sound after choosing a departure airport. Like doing a none approved instruction. Any one else who sees this behaviour? Thanks Michael Moe

Hello I have a problem with ORBX, all roads are sand or grass, I've already uninstalled everything, reinstalled and the problem persists. Photo from SBGR: https://imgur.com/a/M0MPw My P3D is a fresh install, i ONLY have these addons: ORBX Global Base ORBX FTX Vector ORBX openLC EU ORBX openLC SA ORBX openLC NA ORBX Light Configurator ORBX Trees HD ORBX FTX Airport NA Pack ORBX FTX Airport EU Pack and ORBX Libraries All is up-to-date My terrain.cfg Spoiler [General] DefaultTextureCount=383 AutogenCount=14 //--------------------------------…

According to the REX facebook page https://de-de.facebook.com/REXSimulations/ the release of REX Skyforce can be expected within the next day. The manual is already available and can be downloaded from the link given on their facebook page. From a first glance, I would call the manual well-written and structured. We'll see if the same applies to the program. Kind regards, Michael

Is there a way to delete setting profiles within the sim? I have a bunch that I have saved through time but can't figure out how to remove them. Thanks

Just curious if anyone is using the Blue Sky Star A320 Sound packs in conjunction with the FSlabs320 in p3d 4.1. I only ask here because there isn't a whole lot of activity in the Blue Sky Forum and when someone mentioned them in the FSlabs forum their thread got deleted. If you are using them, how do you think they work in place or in conjunction with the default FSlabs sounds?

The 757 and 146 will be coming to P3D v4 as well as the 787 which is in preliminary beta testing for v4. https://www.facebook.com/notes/qualitywings-simulations/qualitywings-status-update-4q2017/10155271982854639/

Is there anything out there that will give a good description on what performance settings do so I can make a more educated decision on the settings I use either with NI, display settings on my monitor and or within P3d? I keep reading things like keep Vsync off in NI, on in P3d, Unlimited frames in P3d, limit them in NI, etc. I am having trouble differentiating what I need to have on/off within NI and within P3d. I also find the AA settings hard to differentiate and therefore don't know what ones to pick. Any help would be great as I will have a lot of time over the next few days to do some tweaking and reading. Here are my top confusion points: AA, unlimit…

Hi, P3D doesn't come with any good GA aircraft. The carenado one is a bit too expensive as I regularly only fly large jets. Is there any freeware and good quality alternative? Thanks Bill Khaled

Hello I havent been doing much IFR flying for the past week, so this missed slipped my notice. The ILS approaches are no longer aligned with the runway across different airports. I tested at a few airports myself, and the ILS is turned towards the right hand side. I l also checked using LittleNavMap, and all the ILS and runway headings (Magnetic) are apart by 1 to 4 degrees. I am using the magdec.bgl and the NavData update from aero.sors.fr webstie. Is anyone else using the same also having similar issues, or is the problem somewhere else ? Cheers 9W PS I do not have fsaerodata installed

Hi all- Is there a way to integrate terminal gate numbers into P3D without having to go to say ifly.com? It appears that neither the 750 nor Foreflight has this capability, only taxi diagrams. Thanks, Mark

We all expected some delay as LM moved things over to the 64 Bit version. Other than Tubeliners and Carenado's release of low end products, has anyone heard of expected releases in the GA line of aircraft being developed for 64bit. It seems like all the developers are working for X Plane these days? Any News?

Hi i recently installed orbx global on p3dv4 but the textures are still the same and night lightining is also not working. I tried to reinstall but i reached to the same conclusion. Now i'm getting frustrated and thinking to get a refund which i'm also not aware of :). However i want it to work badly as the textures look flat and unrealistic.

Hello ! I soon plan to change material. Motherboard : MSI Z370 GAMING PRO CARBON ( Or Z370 Gaming M5 ) CPU : Intel Core i5-8600K Graphic card : MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Ti GAMING 8G RAM : Corsair Vengeance LPX Series Low Profile 16 Go (2x 8 Go) DDR4 2666 MHz CL16 My question is to know if among you somebody has already had the opportunity of tested I5-8600K on P3D V3.4 or V4. I would like to make sure to make the good choice on the proco before taking him, although I saw numerous tests on the games and the very positive opinion of Tom Hardware otamment for the overclocking, I would to be insured that all well be working well and well be turning well on P3…

PILOT's site indicates that they are nearing the digital release of their Next Generation 1-m mesh. I currently have FS Global Ultimate 5-m mesh, and was wondering if anyone who has upgraded saw any rendering or performance benefit? My two main questions are: 1. Will my sim performance be better with Next Generation over Ultimate? PILOT's site claims that NG uses "New algorithms for better data use and loading times. Less size and more detail nevertheless!" 2. Did you have any problems running Orbx and NG together that you didn't have with Ultimate? I've experienced very little issue running Ultimate and Orbx together when used in conjunction with the FTX A…

I'm going to place this inquiry here because it is the platform I use. Notwithstanding, the issue may be globally encumbering to pairing Flight simming platforms. (Note, I've also posted this in LM forum) "SKY TEXTURES". I'm curious as to how many of us have invested and use ENVTEX or REX Sky Textures. Bear with me. Lately, I've notice some interesting effects on performance with these enhancement textures(programs). In particular, spikes in CPU usage when certain sky textures package are in use. Today, as I write this, I'm experiencing 100% CPU usage and blurry textures despite making any adjustment to the UI settings within P3Dv4.1 (specs: I7 4790K, oc…

Hello, so many scenerys using SODE for Lights. My Problem: This Lights are to big, to bright; Is there a way to make this lights smaller and a little less intense in brightness? I have read the latest SODE PDF´s but nothing found for this. Thomas

Hi! Is there a global ga traffic (freeware or payware) which would work in P3D v4.1 available?

I'll open by saying that I have an OK setup, nothing really high-end at all but passable for P3D. I've got all my settings turned down to the medium/normal range and dynamic lighting turned off. I get decent FPS on the ground, during taxi/takeoff, and in the air. But on final approach into any add-on airport, my FPS often drops to the point where anything but an autoland is impossible. Any ideas on how I can troubleshoot this? Clear AI traffic during that period? Something else?

Good day all, I've recently decided it finally time to make the move to P3D from FSX. So, today i've been moving addons over to P3D. During a test, i realized that Chaseplane wasn't loading on startup of the sim, so i ran the .exe file to manually start it. When i did, a dialog box came up saying "an unexpected error as occurred :/" and that a log has been sent to FSFX packages. After clicking ok to acknowledge it, another pops up saying that it will revert Chaseplane to an older, stable version so that im not stop in an "infinite loop of death", which obviously doesn't work as it happens everytime i load it up. Chaseplane no longer works on FSX nor P3D. I've tried a…

hello i'm trying to use some recent Ray Smith AFCADs in P3D V4. Unfortunately, I think it's not always possible, but i need some expert advice to enlighten me or to confirm my findings I downloaded the AFCAD (for example LFPO from Ray from the Avsim library), i open it with ADE 1.75 because I need to reset the draw flags (otherwise everything is covered with grass) and then recompile the AFCAD. After doing that I seem to have missing objects in P3D (like jetways not attached to buildings, see pic below on LFPO gate P10 for example). I tried another afcad (RJAA) and i have the same problem if i recompile it. My understanding (according to the readme.txt…

The default Warsaw (EPWA) ground textures for the gates and parking are grass. how can i fix this? https://www.dropbox.com/home?preview=2017-12-26_20-20-33-391.jpg
