Hi, as I am not able to register at T2G support side, I ask here. Does T2G EDDM have Visual Docking Guidance Systems (AGNIS etc.) on their gates? I cannot see any and was wondering wether they did not install. Thanks Peter

I know that for most of the games best settings = max settings. However I've noticed that this rule doesn't apply to P3D. Some settings on max/ultra make the sim graphic artificial or simply ugly looking. Could you please tell me what settings will be the best and will make my sim as real as possible? Regarding add-ons currently I have: FTX Global FTX openLC Europe FTX Norway FTX Vector FS Global 2010 PTA Envtex My specs are: i7-7700k (not overclocked) on Z270 mobo Nvidia GTX 1060 6B 16 GB DDR4

Hello, I was doing a KBLI - CYYC flight in the Q400. Up until the time I was taxiing into the gate at CYYC, there was no problems. All of a sudden, the lighting changed all of a sudden. Where it was once a previously a well lit apron under white lights, there is now a visible colour spectrum. Also, it would appear that the lights do not fall on the ground, which is unlit, but a few feet above the ground. You can see the screenshots below : I do not use any shader tool such as URP or PTA. Any thoughts as to what might be causing this ? I thought it might be a shader issue, so I tried to delete the Shaders folder, but could not fi…

I searched the forum and could not find anything so I apologize if this has already been asked/answered. I currently fly for a virtual airline who has some really cool routes available for the 737-400. Is anyone aware of any 737-400 models developed/ being developed for P3D v4? I downloaded a freeware version which is pretty decent considering it's free, but unfortunately all the weight/balance and performance characteristics are the same as the default MSFS 737-800- and I'd also like something with a good FMS. I know Wilco has a 737 series that includes the -400 but it is not compatible with v4. I have not been able to find anything so I was wondering if anyone knew of …

That’s all😀

Hi, Need help with frequent crashes of P3D4. Below are the details of the recent event logs. If anybody can point a direction or otherwise advise it will be greatly appreciated. I can point out that recent additions (addon's) to the P3D installation on my machine are: - DrzewieckiDesignGrass.exe - DD_NY_AIRPORTS_V2_X_KJFK-KLGA-KTEB (By Drzewiecki Design) - DD_NY_AIRPORTS_V2_X_KEWR-KCDW-KLDJ (By Drzewiecki Design) I am not saying that these are the culprits, however, it is possible... Did not get (yet) to the point where I remove those and retest. Thanks Benny K Source Prepar3D exe Summary Stopped working…

In the past, I was able to install Orbx's airport without Global via manual installation Now, after installing P3D v4 ORBX Central I cannot see or install these airports even if I own them and because of this problem, I cannot purchase any further product. Any suggestions, I want to buy/purchase HD Trees and ESSA Stockholm Arlanda without Global (no improvement to the simulator IMHO since I have already installed an excellent freeware texture set).

What are you guys looking forward to during the holiday period? Here`s my list (I don`t exactly know if these are supposed to be released this year, but still...): - Flythemaddox MD-80, - Captainsim 757, - PMDG JS41 v4, - Jetstream Designs Nantes... Looking forward to see other people˙s wishes.

Hi Folks, None of my work - except the integration - it's amazing to see the old Henry T models still working in P3Dv4 with UTL... It takes some effort so it's a long road ahead to improve UTL to my liking... My absolute favorite little airline - sitting in Boston - waiting for FlyTampa... My kingdom for a high grade C402... Regards, Scott

Guys I am looking for a Flight planner for GA airplanes that would allow me to do VFR/IFR flight planning with Fuel figures. I see a lot of good flight planners but so many of them don't calculate fuel. I own PFPX and I use it for Airline flying but it isn't very good if I want to follow highways in the 172. Thanks! Merry Christmas!

Hi guys, I just wanted to know if anyone had experience with better performance when using higher tessellation factor ? Its seems to be my case. What is causing it ?

Is there a way to change the sequence of the View Categories in P3Dv4.x? And if so, how can I accomplish that? Thanks, Merry Christmas all. Hans

I delete the F-22 airplane file, now when open the game the aircraft window is white , and when I select other airplane all are white can not show airplane,any one help me upload F-22 file for me.

You can download the offical release from Flight 1 web site according tp their forums. Download was good, no problems with the installation and no errors when I loaded it to P3D ver 4. Lots of traffic on ground and in the air. Seems they have finally got it working right. Nelson

After a considerable amount of time spent experimenting and attempting at tweaks, I've finally decided that the costs of the "dynamic lighting" feature of Prepar3dv4, in terms of performance, far outweigh its benefits. How many times have you experienced studders and low frame rates during your most critical phases of flight, i.e attempting that blissful flare prior to touchdown? Well, it felt amazing to uncheck "dynamic lighting" in my graphics settings and get that smoothness back, without even having to wait for my sim to reload :) Please tell me about your experience, are you running it or not? Is there any hope for "dynamic lighting" at the end of the dark tunnel? :)

Hello, I'm running P3D v4.1 with 2 monitors. One monitor is a 4K monitor and is my main monitor (using 4K resolution in p3d). The second one is 1920x1200 monitor. Both connected on a GTX1080. The problem is that if I set P3D to full screen that my secondary monitor is not filled out completely. I still see a piece of my wallpaper on top which is really annoying. Anyone knows this problems or might have a solution for this? Thanks, BiTRiP

Wich aircraft can you guys recommend to me? Specially propeller aircraft.

Just thought I’d like to share my experience as well as get inputs from you guys after playing around with some settings and their impacts specifically on CPU usage and eventually the inevitable bottleneck on the main thread. This is of course with a fully loaded sim with all the typical addons and a complex aircraft like the PMDG 777 or FSL A320x. Only exception is default airport scenery to keep things simple. Special effects sliders, I’ve noticed most people keep this at high, but is it really necessary and how much of a CPU impact do you guys notice? Personally I think these scale with AI traffic and are the main cause of stutters on landing. Currently tes…

Hi, this isn't a major major problem but it bugs me. The sun looks like have of it is in the ground, I know it's the sunset but it looks really bad, and when it's pitch dark, the sun still shows for a bit still setting. Here's a picture of how it is currently at sunset. https://gyazo.com/caef186ffe31b9e7d9a3228567f2c539 EDIT: This is also one thing that bugs me, the sky is like two different shades. https://gyazo.com/378b698dd716c6b3151556674dc6a67c https://gyazo.com/a4437721b5013b7f87d7832f58a4cbca

Hi, Some including myself is having issues with stutter or pause of the sim (P3dv4.1) with SODE. Is there a "easy" test procedure to quickly enable/disable this funtion (also from within P3Dv4?) Some scenerys uses xml files and some dont. Not sure exactly what to disable Thanks Michael Moe

I've had v1 of Lisbon for years and finally got fed up with the grotty looking terminal textures. A month ago I bought v2 for my sim - P3D v3.4 Whilst the terminal buildings are greatly improved the lack of moving jetways is disappointing but my main problem is the disappearing PAPI lights when on final approach. Around 2-3 miles out they just go out. The problem according to Aerosoft staff is a bug in P3D and the author of Lisbon appears reluctant to fix it when his code didn't cause it. Fair comment. LM haven't released any correction as far as I know. But this leaves me with a non-functioning PAPI system on a P3D compatible airport. I don't suppose I'm a…

After using everything without any problems for quite some time ProATC is suddenly acting weird: I want to ask for clearance but it doesn't read my radio freq properly. I have to set 130.6 and I have set 130.6 but the ProATC window says I have 122.0 set...?!?! Anyone ever had this? See the picture below. BTY I seriously HATE THIS. I haven't had the time all week to fly and I was looking forward to doing so this free saturday where I'd have just enough time to do a flight. And now that time is ruined already by this annoying problem... I might as well stop flying now already. Really really really really HATE it when this happens.

Seasons Greetings, With P3DV4.1 / Win 10/64, my aircraft (Alabeo M20R) remains about 6 inches above the ramp and taxiways surfaces. I looked for a ORBX FAQ but unable to locate. Thanks.

Just curious what everyone uses to pan in their vc or change views using chaseplane. Right now, I use the hat switch on my t.1600 stick to pan, the 6 buttons on the bottom right I set to switch to different views with the vc (fslabs 320 captain view, overhead, Mcdu, etc) and the bottom left are set for wing views and outside views. I was just curious how others are set up.

Hi, please is someone to xplain me how to setup makerunways in p3d v4? where to put the application Makerunways? in fsx:se I placed and run it in fsx folder. In P3D V4? please Advise!!!!!
