The Prepar3d Forum

Just a note to let you know the FSX default DG800S sailplane does the same thing with some Orbx sceneries as the Ultralight did. While both seem to fly as they should there are some airports like the ones I mentioned in the Ultralight scenery anomaly post where you can get CTDs when approaching some airports and some of the scenery doesn't show up. The DG808S makes the tower at Devils Tower disappear too. Be careful when using FSX aircraft in P3Dv4. In many cases they seem to work perfectly but then you'll come across an airport where they don't. Noel

Hello, I recently bought Prepar3d v4 and installed it. However when I started it, all I had was 6 fps on average. Here is my PC specs: 13" MacBook Pro with retina display Intel core I5 processor 6th generation at 2.7 GHz Intel Iris Graphics 6100 1536 MV gpu 8GB 1867 DDR3 RAM. Now what I am planning to do is that I am planning to buy one external gpu which will get connected to this notebook through a thunderbolt 2 port. Nvidia GTX 980 will be used by me. But I am unsure of the performance which Ill be getting. However on youtube it shows that it makes the notebook extremely powerful and also the FPS are increased consi…

Hi all, A few months ago, I bought the Aerosoft CRJ just after release. After only 1 flight, I parked it in the (maintenance) hangar and never looked back. Since it is a while ago, what is the current state/verdict? The messageson the Aerosoft forum are a bit ambiguous. What's your opinion? Egbert

A while back I recall getting a free payware quality for KSLC that (I think) came with TFDI 717. Can anyone confirm that was the case and if so, is it available for 4.1? I can't seem to find the installer on my system and figured I'd check here.

Before trying to install 1.05 of this scenery, which I own for a long time, and to avoid it messing around with FTX Global ( no Vector and no other sceneries installed ) I wonder if any of you can comment on it's compatibility with P3Dv41 ? Thx

In P3D v4.1, configuration, there is a setting: Graphics Options - Display - Texture Resolution. I can set this from 'Very Low - 256X256' to 'Ultra - 4096X4096'. However I can not see any visual difference between these settings (4K screen, 1080ti GPU), nor do i see any performance difference - FPS, VRAM usage, GPU utilization. What is this setting for and what should I see as i vary it? Inquiring mind(s) want to know! Thanks!

It's the third time, two at EGLL gate 321 and one at LIRF gate 704 that the ATC stays silent after my "Read back IFR Clearence" and does not appear 1 - [Tune XXX ATIS on 121.850] and 2 - Request IFR Taxi. If I reload with World - Scenery Library - OK and rewrite the procedure, the ATC works correctly. Did it happen to someone else? Thank you.

Still considering on buying their EDDL and EDDH to fly FSLA320 finally? Any thoughts about these scenery products? Quality of textures, details, performance? Thanks Dmitriy

I remember seeing Keven talk about this at Cosford. Free effects files for P3D V4 and above! https://fsfxpackages.com/en/free/ Video here

With all the memory in the world available in v4 it really bugs me that airport sceneries still only load at a 15nm distance. Is there a way to increase that distance ?

Is there any new news/updates on the 757? It's been DEFCON1 out of them since FlightSimCon as far as I've seen. It looked amazing from the screenshots shared and I just wanted to know if anything had progressed on it.

What 3rd party instrument panel building applications are compatible with P3D V4? Any recommendations regarding which is best? Thanks. Scott Colorado, USA

Hi, you may be aware that V4 has problems with FSX-SP1 Simconnect (in fact it is broken) and some Apps that rely on that connection will not work. But there is a work around, which I will illustrate for the superb landing tool "Lord of the Landing", which inter alia provides touch down rates, center line deviation, bank angle, plots and much more. The App can be found in the Avsim library (v1.8) You have to create two files (e.g. using Notepad++): Simconnect.cfg and Simconnect.xml. Place them at the indicated locations. 1. This is how Simconnect.cfg must look like: [SimConnect] Protocol=IPv4 Address=YOUR ADDRESS Port=2024 MaxReceiveSize=4096 …

When I installed Ultimate Traffic Live I specifically told it to NOT install things into the root of my C: drive but in a folder of my D: drive. Most files were indeed placed into that D: drive folder but the Flight1 installer created a folder in the root of my C: drive anyway and put a .lic file in it. This file is needed to tell UTL I have a license. However, I don't want that folder in the root of my C: drive! It's however impossible to change this. I think it is very odd and strange that Flight1 installs stuff where I don't want it and that you can't change that. (I have to add that I find the whole way of installing things and reinstalling things with that Fligh…

I opened P3DV410 and i have it setup to start from the Scenario page. The Problem, My default plane (Beech350) is just black textures. It started with the Default Jet the Iris F-22 Raptor after a few flights on newly installed Prepar3d suddenly the exterior textures went black. After trying to troubleshoot, i switched to the Beech 350 and everything was okay and now even this plane exterior texture are black. I noticed also PMDG planes were skeletons in the options menu. Any one seen this? Removed Ezdok deleted shaders still same problem 6700K, EVGA 1080 classifieds multiscreen(3) sim works great I dont get this anomaly. Thanks Steve

I turned on vsync and triple buffering and since then it takes about 3 minutes to load terrain data. I dont know if this is connected. I would appreciate any ideas. Thanks

I started having an odd issue yesterday. Aircraft seems to take a lot more thrust to get moving and stay moving. For example I loaded the default scenario with the F-22 and i had to spool the engines up to 60% to get moving and stay moving. I've tried other aircraft and it continues to happen. It's almost as if the aircraft is stuck in mud. I've changed the weight to see if that would help but, it still seems like the aircraft is stuck in mud. I did a complete uninstall and reinstall of p3d and it didn't change. I figured it may be a calibration issue but, my controllers check out. I also reset the key mapping to default to insure there was no conflicts with brakes …

Tonight's flight into Aerosoft Tromso didn't end that well after 4+ hours in the air... Thought I made a really smooth landing but that sensation didn't last for more than a couple of seconds before I had the dreadful crash message in red in the upper left corner of the screen I luckily don't see very often. I couldn't believe what just happened. So, after P3D reset itself and reloaded the flight where I was back at Bilbao where my flight started, I manually loaded a new flight starting at runway 19 at ENTC. Figured I would just take off and do a traffic pattern coming back into runway 19 for another landing attempt. After starting the engines and configuri…

Hi, I started P3Dv3 today as admin , it starts loading the default flight and as soon as it reaches 100% I get the message: P3D.exe doesn't work anymore. P3D is switched off. All that changed on my Win10/64 system was a Windows update, a security update for Adobe Flash Player on 21/10. But I suppose that has nothing to do with this problem. Any idea what might cause this?

What are peoples thoughts on FSXCENERY airports? I saw them online and the say compatible with P3Dv4 but from the screenshots I've seen they don't look much better than default. Does anyone have any reviews on their work?

Hi guys. I recently upgraded to a 1080ti GPU I had a 1080 before and me being stupid uninstalled the drivers that worked perfectly for that card and didnt even think to check if they were compatible. Does anybody know what the best ones are for P3D? Im now on 388.00 cause of Destiny 2 but have no idea if they will cause more problems.

Hey guys Ive reinstall p3d and install orbx again my texture scenery are burry I5 6600 oc to 4.5 Gtx 1070 16gb ram Ssd evo 1tb samsung

Ive just found that all my orbx scenery is being placed at the bottom of my scenery Library in p3d V4. causing errors with a lot of the scenery. How can i get them all to the top? I looked at my settings in FTX central and they are apparently set to go to the top but even after reinstalling every addon they are still being placed at the bottom. How can i fix this?
