  1. J’ai dû réinstaller W10 sur mon PC, puis réinstaller P3D V5.3 sur un autre disque que le disque système. Comme c’était le cas avant la réinstallation. Mon MCP II a bien fonctionné, y compris loe Yoke, Throttle Quadrant, Rudder Pedals et Saitek’s Swicth Panel. Je tourne avec FSUIPC 6 et Linda 3.3.5.1364 dans un dossier « Modules » dans P3D. Lorsque je lance le simulateur, le programme LINDA ne se lance pas alors qu’avant. Lorsque je le lance manuellement, je reçois un message d’erreur que je joins ci-dessous. Merci d’avance pour votre aide. Jean-Luc - FCY-DML

  3. NOTE: I AM CROSS POSTING HERE, AVSIM P3D FORUM AND AT THE ACTIVE SKY HIFI FORUM Recently, after using EA with VC on a regular basis I decided to experiment and check visuals without VC. That was fine, until this morning when I decided again to give VC a look. Instead of what I was expecting, I saw only solid black sky, but only with Active Sky activated. So, while I suspect this is an AS issue, I am posting here as well in the hopes that someone can steer me back on the right path. Please note that on the AS forum there is an issue similar to mine in which a responded suggested uninstalling and reinstalling P3d Content. I did that, but that did not solve my i…

  4. Hi All, I have a brand new install of P3D v5.3 due to a recent upgrade I am running a Nvidia RTX3060 with Game Ready Driver version 531.41 and I'm facing what I can describe as screen tearing/lagging/stuttering when moving around the flight deck. This is happens in all sorts of aircraft Pieper Cub / PMDG 737 you name it.

    Question to the bus drivers Is the performance of the A330-300 the same as A320/21, or better/worse? With the 320/21 I have in bad weather strong performance drops Peter

  6. Question is in the title. I still have the 32-bit P3Dv3 installed purely so I can fly one aircraft. Concorde. But because of the 4Gb VAS limit lots of compromises have to be made to ensure you don’t run out of memory. These include:- Reducing resolution on my 4K monitor to 1920*1080. Even though it’s exactly half in each dimension and on a quality monitor the image is far from ideal My system is more than capable of maintaining 30fps with much higher scenery settings but that will eat up VAS. So I run a powerful computer (for the sim in question) with very low settings. Discussion on the FSL Concorde forum has dried up. That means either everyone is an…

  7. Hello, fellow Avsim members in P3D forum. So, from some time I own a copy of Technobrain RJTT airport and surrounding area. But, I am little displeased with it. So, the problem I am facing is that the ground textures look a little default to me and I wanna change them. I had already attempted to make them look better with custom asphalt / concrete textures, but for some weird reason only the concrete is changing as texture. I created the textures in Photoshop, then copy / pasted them on top of the other textures in DxtBMP. That is not my first time in which I am making textures, I had made a lot of different airplane l…

    Just thought you folks would like to know about this freeware - new ground textures and autogen trees, the download is on simviation. https://simviation.com/1/browse-Prepar3d-143-0 I have made a long series of flights NE from Capetown, South Africa, and the textures definitely make the terrain more interesting to look at!

    I just installed Wingsim's Simon Bolivar scenery into my P3D v5.3 and everything seemed to install correctly except I don't have any jetways showing in the scenery. I did run the SODE exe file that came with the scenery and the SODE files are correctly installed, plus I checked that my SODE is still registered (it is). Any ideas on why the jetways are not showing up in the scenery? I did email Winsim, but I figured I ask here also. Maybe I will get a quicker response.

    I really want a glider and I was just wondering, is there any good gliders that work with P3Dv5? I searched all of the flight simulator stores I know of and I don't see any being offered for sale. Does anyone know of any good gliders I can get? I prefer a quality payware glider if there is any but I'll also try any freeware gliders too if they are decent.

Now that Milviz gave a bunch of aircraft away for free I finally tried their KA350i, after a few frustrating hiccups (I found out I very unfortunately had to disable WXR to avoid the inevitable CTDs) I think I got it working now, but one thing that bothers me is the alternate gear extension placard, which is quite prominently visiable in the VC standard view, is this actually modeled, I read that it was but cannot seem to click anything

    P3Dv5.3. KMYR (Myrtle Beach) doesn’t have a terminal building and other features are perhaps missing. However the jetways are present and working. As far as I know this is the only airport having any problems. At one time I had ORBX Airports installed but uninstalled it long ago - whether it’s related I don’t know. What would be a good way to correct this? Thanks.

    I always felt the Beaver was one of the best default Airplanes in the original FSX. I bought a Turbo Otter from MilViz but never bonded with it. I was excited to see the Beaver was offered as one of the generous "freebies" from Blackbird. I have a problem in that once the revs are advanced above 2300 rpm there's an irritating metallic banging sound. Has anyone else experienced it? I thought maybe I had screwed up the download or gotten a corrupted file so I uninstalled and reinstalled it a couple of times but I can't make the banging go away. Any thoughts would be welcome.🤨

    I like to fly short flights with (at this moment) the A2A Comanche in (FTX) Norway. Short being 50 to 100 nm hops. I am having a blast with it in P3D v4. But after years of flying I am thinking some sort of purpose to it all would be nice. A while ago I read about Air Hauler 2, could be someone even suggested it to me on this forum. That would probably give some purpose to my flights. I have some questions though. First of all I am afraid AH2 will take a lot time. I mean, getting and keeping business going, companies, money... It sounds like a game of its own. While I just want to spice up my flights. Secondly: can I fly my Comanche all around Norway or am I lim…
