The Prepar3d Forum

Hello, I have been flying a lot recently due to the release of PMDG birds.Have been enjoying most of them except I have a horrible AI package. Looking around and I see many people using Ultimate Traffic Live, so I have couple questions. Are the schedules and liveries up to date? How are the models? Can we update the liveries and schedule ourselves with AIPF/ AIG flightplans? The last and most important question, how is the support over at Flight1? Thank you, Hoang Le

Can someone browse to their directory which contains effects.cfg? C:\Users\All Users\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 And tell me if their file displays anything. Mine is blank. I think this is why none of my default cockpit lighting works.

Will I have to download all 50 G/b of scenery again when reinstalling ORBX scenery on my new computer? THanks. Harv Stein

Hi there, Does P3D support plain text files for the kneeboard? All my aircraft that use a plain text reference file, show up blank in the kneeboard: Click here for screenshot Any help is greatly appreciated. :)

Hey everyone, So I decided to finally drop some money and make the switch to P3D v4. It's an awesome sim but I'm having one problem. Blurry ground textures. I've done a lot of searching but can't find a solution. I've deleted my .cfg and shaders, no difference. It happens about 10 minutes after takeoff and then stays blurry. I know it's got to be an addon issue. I don't remember seeing this when running with no addons. And I did uncheck "ground traffic" in FSDT addon manager and then clicked "save to P3D." I'm wondering if that could have done something? I've deleted my cfg since and nothing. Here are my addons and more info: Toposim Mesh Asia Continent B…

Just a heads up. You can get it from ORBX(with instructions)or sim-outhouse. This will fix sounds for all planes that use it, like RealAir. For P3D V4 only. http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/137509-doug-dawson-64-bit-sound-gauge/ http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php/106354-Doug-Dawson-64-bit-sound-gauge-released?p=1090009

Hi Guys, Im having this issue with the ILS for Mexico City, where the ILS is misplased by almost 90°, plus the frequency is wrong and the name of it is wrong as well, it says “Do Not Use”, I’ve already checked the AFCAD and the AFCAD is correct. Any suggestions?

I swich to windowed view and it returns normal a few minuts... Only leaving task manager in background maintiens fps normal. My OS is Windows 10. What can I do ? Thanks

I have ASCA with Active Sky installed and so far, it's been alright. But I keep hearing about REX: what's the BEST?

I sometimes watch videos of p3d and some have their fps displayed in the upper right corner in white numbers. Can anyone tell me how to do this? Thanks Paul

Hello All, I have a jetline systems computer I purchased in 2016 and currently run v3.3 which runs well. I get low to mid teen fps with certain overcast conditions with REX enhanced but otherwise no issues. I am looking to upgrade to v4 and was curious of my current set up can handle it ok? I fly mostly PMDG NGX over megascenery but to use orbx global and vector at times as well. Win 7 64bit Intel 4th Gen icore 7 4790 (was overclocked to 4.6ghz but I returned to stock cuz I was having issues) 8GB Hyper X DDR3 SDRAM 2133mhz 4GB Nvidia Geforce GTX 970 Thank you for your time Dave

Hello, I recently installed the QW 757 in P3D v3. The main VC panel works fine. However, when I try loading an aircraft with the retro VC panel I get the error message in the attached screenshot. Has anyone else experienced this or have an idea what the fix might be? Thanks in advance! https://photos.google.com/photo/AF1QipOQnsitnd876-Y4Kiex25TVazVeuzv2bCvAbQNY

Currently I'm running P3D v3.4 and with the hardware listed in my sig. performance is excellent at all airports including complex 3rd party ones. I'm considering P3D v4 and would like to switch to 4K - 3840*2160 but I'm guessing performance would take a sizeable hit. Has anyone compared fps at both resolutions with all other factors unchanged? Does 4K really require a 1080i or could I get away with a 1080? Thanks for all replies.

There are knowledgable people in this forum Using P3D v4.0 Picked up the Hawker Beechcraft H2B H850XP in their sale. Can anyone flying it advise on the following: - Elevator trim for takeoff? - Rotate speed? - Landing speed - Any other tips/settings, things to watch out for? Thanks T45

Looks like the Aerosoft AN-2 is pretty close: "http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/125977-antonov-an-2-preview/&do=findComment&comment=854673" gb.

I keep getting 5-10 sec freezes when,flying near LA in ORBX Socal anyone else have this issue?

I'm three weeks into Prepar3D v4.x and four weeks into using my new PC - first Windows machine in 14 years! I have an MSI Gaming Pro Carbon MB, 16 gigs of G.Skill Flare 3200 memory, Samsung SSD and EVGA 1080FTW. I have the Acer Predator 27" IPS w/G-Sync. Wasn't sure if that would help with FlightSims but I intend to do some other gaming so that's the why behind that. Initially (base install) I was hitting 70-90 FPS. I have added ORBX, AS/ASCA, Drzewiecki scenery for NY Aiports, Milviz F-4 and Beaver. I am extremely satisfied EXCEPT when I hit the metro airports such as KEWR, KJFK. At first I was down to FPS in the teen's. I tried numerous changes to the settings…

Anyone using Simstarter NG for Prepar3dv4? What are your thoughts?

Does this airport not include a Winter ground texture that is white? I just flew into SDF from CLT and it was 1C outside and snow everywhere for a hundred miles around the airport except for the actual field itself.

Hello to all, when I click on "Run Auto configuration" of the "automatic configuration".....the green bar moves from left to right....and goes on without ending... I have been waiting for more than an hour....and still the green bar does not stop... I have't got so many add on.... Wich is the problem? Do we must ran this tool everytime we add a add on scenery/airport? Thanks

Has anyone tried this new aircraft and wish to compare it to the PMDG DC-6 and A2A Constellation?

Hi Folks, A new player in the market ? Perusing FSDeveloper last night and noticed these guys - Riddelz ? Never heard of them but the scenery looks fantastic in the images... Anyone have a PIREP - frame rate friendly ? Interested in their WIP for Santa Fe as well - a bit off the beaten track - which I like... http://fsdeveloper.com/forum/threads/riddlez-bellingham-kbli-released.440092/#post-786208 Regards, Scott

I want to buy a camera for P3D v4 Right know I know the Ezdok v2 and ChasePlane Who between them is better ?

Hi guys, I hope someone can help me here. I have Digital Design EDDP installed, together with ORBX Vector, LC, North Germany. Now I have the problem that if I go to the airport my plane is about 5 meters under the surface. Normally this can be solved by running the Vector AEC tool or putting some *.bgl files to off. But this time I cannot figure it out :-( Maybe someone has a clue or maybe the same problem. Thanks in advance! Best regards, Stefan
