Hi! I just updated prepar3d v4 to 4.1 (only client update) and updated the flight1 gns530 in the update tool but the gps is not working. Does not start up. Anybody knows if is compatible with 4.1 or will have to wait? Best regards.

Question on both of these. Are they accurate in terms of up to date terminal buildings, taxiways, rwy configs, etc? I ask because at Imaginesim LGA, it seems as though the terminals don't match my charts exactly (runways and taxiways seem good) and at EWR, I always seem to get turned around and "lost" on their taxiways after I am certain I am following what is on the charts. I figured I would check to see what the verdict is. Thanks!

I have tried using an app called Simple Airport Scanner to find duplicate airports in P3D v4, but I'm not sure if its compatible... I get some error when trying to read from scenery.cfg. I have installed the freeware NA airport pack from FTX, but I also had Aerosoft PHDH airport as well (DIllingham Hawaii). Now whenever I load up to that airport, I get uneven terrain. I have tried disabling Aerosoft PHDH scenery from the scenery library and it's still doesn't look correct. Does anyone know how to fix this? Where does FTX store it's freeware airport BGL. I want to see if I can disable FTX's version to see if it fixes it. But really what I would like is to compare betw…

Good day simmers! I’m just curious to know if anyone here is leaving HT on with V4.1. Reason asking is that when I switched it off with V4 I noticed a performance increase. Now with 4.1 I don’t really see a big difference only it’s still not as smooth with HT on. Any input? i7 4790k Asus Strix 1080

I just added a revised KATL AFCAD to my P3d V 34. that I downloaded from Avsim file library. Everything is perfect as far as the runway layouts and taxiways, etc. The only problem I have, and I can't seem to find the answer anywhere, is that the runway 10/28 does not show up in the list that you go to in P3d, when spawning your aircraft. I then opened the AFCAD in ADE, and 10/28 is listed there in the runway list. I even re-compiled the BGL, and no change. Anyone have an idea of why P3D doesn't seem to be able to see it as far as the runway selection list where you select the airport to launch at, when the runway is clearly there in the sim? Only way I can get to the run…

Hi, Someones have this problem when taxiing behavior since p3d v4.1 the wheels turn but the plane does not follow with generic aircraft and A2A and TFDI B717. I have T-Flight Hotas.x. I tried to calibrate it and nothing change. Thanks in avance for your help. Pierre

Hi all, We've just released TerraFlora 1.2! As always, thanks very much for all of your support. It's because of your feedback that we've been able to create this update! You'll be happy to know that a documentation PDF has now been added, but you can see all changes and added features here: https://www.turbulentdesigns.co.uk/terraflora-update-1-2-0/ New Features: – Added multiple variants for Fall colouring. – Most broadleaf species now have at least two colour variants to reduce the ‘solid carpet’ effect. This means that were a single species is annotated, you will now see colour variants of that species. This is only apparent in Fall and is qui…

Hello, I am removing all AI aircraft with an "old" model , NOT FSX models. I found that many of my AI Aircrafts have NO Model file in their Folder? example : AI_USCG_HC144A_OCEAN_SENTRY title=HC144A_USCG_2302 model= model type=Unknown Is this accepted by P3D V4.1 and are these aircraft used in Traffic? Thanks in advance

I usually fly my PMDG 737 and 777, every now and then it would be nice to jump in a Military jet, since moving over from FSXSE where I had a few, like just flights Tornado GR1, was thinking about Skunk Works Tornado, wondered if anyone had it in P3D and how she handles or any other Military bird that works in P3D. To be honest i'm happy with my 737 and A2A 182 but would be a nice change now and then to blast a Mil around. Of course, I've tried the ones that came with P3D curious as to anything else people use, and how they perform in P3D V4.1 Thanks.

I know Flight1 and Friendly Panels had the Aspen EFD1000 for FSX, but does anyone know if these will be reworked for P3D or if someone else is planning on releasing one?

as it says in title my apologies every one, moderators please close this thread. false alarm.

Hello guys, over the weekend I did some test flights over Africa + Asia. Well not really a flight from point to point, more or less I picked a city or region on the continent over Google Earth and then started a flight there. And then compare... I found out that even in fast growing areas in the chinese mainland (source: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2016/03/which-are-china-s-fastest-growing-cities/ ) the metropolitan areas are very accurate. As well I started some flights over Kenya, Africa and found out that even smaller cities are there where 7 years ago were nothing but jungle. To compare data I also used SceneryTech Africa and Asia landclass and must say t…

Well,it usually happens whenever a new major release of P3D happens... While I keep saying to my friend simmers that I am out of MSFS and derivatives, it's stronger than me... So, yesterday I decided to test P3Dv4.1 in my very same 2012 rig... It's the same I bought to use with MS FLIGHT, and has been used with several installs of X-Plane, FSX, P3D, IL2 Battle of.., DCS World, Aerowinx PSX, Condorsoaring... FSW and AEFS2... and a few more... Along the history of my P3D installs I have to admit that whenever I try a new major update I end up being positively impressed with the outcome, but v4.1 has gone a huge step forward in this respect. After the base ins…

Hi all, As the awaited P3D v4.1 is now released, I think its good to have once more this thread where we can post which add-ons have been updated. This will make it easier to keep track of what we can install.

I currently have these specs: -I7 4790K @4GHZ -8GB DDR3 700MHZ RAM -1B HDD -GTX 750Ti 2GB -Corsair CX550W What can I upgrade to improve my performance in V4?

Hi. I upgraded to 4.1 and everything worked great except that my 3 PMDG planes did not run smoothly. I then upgraded those 3 planes as well as FSUIP and since then I cannot open 4.1. When I click on the icon nothing happens. I already repaired 4.1 but it still does not open. I wonder if someone could help. Thanks so much.

Hi all Not sure when this has happened but just now needed to Slew my aircraft at the gate, I'm using P3D v4.1. Previously I had mapped forward/back/left/right to the arrow keys. I hit Y to enter Slew mode, all ok but pressing arrow keys no movement. When I look inside key assignments I only see Slew Tilt Left/Right, Slew Mode On/off??? Where are all the other Slew commands. Any ideas? Scrap that didn't realise there was a Slew drop down menu in controls, even so for some reason my assignments had been wiped. Thanks

I never needed a moving map because I simply don't need if for navigation. However, while flying over Germany (Orbx) I just discovered (let me not bore you with a long story) that it is very nice to know what you are seeing down there. Since I use Plan-G to plot my VFR GA plans and since that map shows names of cities, rivers, etc. it seemed the best option to use Plan-G for this purpose. However, I can't figure out how to connect Plan-G to P3D v4.0... Whenever I click on the Connect button nothing happens. Or well, the Disconnect button is activated but after a few seconds I hear a beep and the Connect button is on again. Anyone knows how to do this? NEVER MIND! FOU…

Hi, simmersfriends Just see that orbx upgrade the australian traffic for v4... After evacuation of old ai-aircrafts, last week I have installed UTL... In v4. In sim option mine aircrafts traffic setting is on 0% and in UTL soft on 100%. Now the question is... to have the traffic done on Australia by orbx... How to do with UTL...? Mark

For some reason I cannot uninstall my P3D Client. I get this message: I have never had this difficulty before

Is there anything available, or is it easy to modify yourself that will make taxiway lights more prominent ? At the moment the blue lighting especially is so dull that sometimes I can't see it from anything more than 50 feet or so.

Do we have any help from a2a on this.

Hello everyone, Jacob Tybinski here, it's my first post on AVSIM.com. So, I got into flying in P3D just recently and man, it is a true struggle for a newbie to get my PMDG 737-800W ngx going. Nevertheless, I have some troubles following FMC calculations durring climb and descend - problem is I can't figure out what to put in MCP to follow FMC accordingly: I'm on cruising altitude and speed, let's say FL370 and M 0.72 As I reach my T/D I should start descending to hit given by FMC altitude at a right place, FL250 f.e. I put 25000 in my MCP and hit "LVL CHG" to start my descend Everything goes haywire because I'm too soon/late at the next waypoi…

I was wondering how this would work for those of us who are already running AI package in P3D v4 such as WOAI, this pirated AI program initials not allowed, MT6, UTLive, etc? Will the FTX AI traffic work in tandem with the existing AI packages or how does it work exactly? I just want to be sure there's no conflicts.
