I just installed P3Dv4 into my newly built system, but for some reason I am unable to change airports. Every time I click on select airport button P3D stops working with an error message that there was an error in P3D.exe file. It does not give me any other info! The sim seems to load correctly, I am able to change settings and fly the default airport that the sim starts with, but when I try to change airports it stops! This sim ran perfectly on my old system. Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Anyone get it working? If so same install as V3? Thanks,

Curious about this from Poppet: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/521716-p3d-v41-rain-effects-showcase/?_fromLogout=1&_fromLogin=1 "Amar, Thank you for posting your Video, Keep them coming. Unfortunately in this case the new Rain in v4.1 seems to be a hot Topic and i have had to Remove (hid) some posts from the public Topic locked" Rain effect is indeed a hot topic, so why would you hide posts and lock the thread?

Just posted a new video flying around St. Maarten with rain in V4.1. Hope you guys enjoy .....

Mega Airport Barcelona professional is out. Or better to say Simwings Barcelona is out. I am Download now. 5.4GB Simwings, So hopefully good. UK2000 Airports installed using the way LM wanted Aerosoft call they v4 "professional" because there for P3d v4 and they install into the main folder. Unreal in more ways than one.

Where can you check that you have upgraded to 4.1? I ended up having to uninstall v4 completely because I screwed up by not putting my download into a separate folder. So, I'm in the process of installing all of ORBX addons, and I'll have a busy day with all the rest. I still would like to know where the version number can be seen. Stan

Updated version for LogEdit3 available in the AVSIM forum: https://library.avsim.net/esearch.php?CatID=p3dutil&DLID=201616 This fixes a problem combining FSX flight records with zero size comment string and a problem with the aircraft type report showing total number of landings instead of number in past 90 days. Reads FSX / FSXSE / P3D (All Versions Including v4) Logbook.bin files with error detection. Allows the combination of all formats into the same logbook, which then can be saved on any format. Tools include Combine Records and Remove Empty Records. A File Properties feature displays number of flights, landings, total hours, longest flight and av…

Anybody else having a problem with chaseplane not working with v4.1?

I'm getting callouts for altitude twice on my flights. For example, in the 717 I get every altitude called out by a Female Voice and then a male voice straight afterwards... Anyone got any ideas why?

They say corfu does not need anything! I have it installed within v3.4 Can I XML them into v4.1? / link them from were there installed within 3.4. Or just install straight into 4.1?

Is the Majestic Dash 8 Compatible with P3d v4?

I want to make Orbx enter their products under all my airports. Within their Center is it safe to make them enter under e.g aerosofts EGLL? Don't want to screw it up already?

I am not happy with the sun of the P3D. I tried to resize it and the result was a little better. But still the sun just don´t look realistic, it is like a pale disc in the sky. I installed the simple sun mod from the library but it didn´t make much difference. Any suggestions? How can I get a more realistic sun? (The bright and yellow like it should be!)

I did have this strange problem when switching to fullscreen 5760x1080 (3 monitors), P3D will switch back to 1 screen only no matter what ever I do, that happened with V2 and V2.1, the only time it worked OK is today when I applied the 2.1 patch then exited P3D, went to work, came back, fired up P3D and it wont go to Fullscreen mode?? any suggestion?

Most of my add-ons are working with P3Dv4.1, two that are not compatible have been SIMstarter NG and PTA 2.52. I'm also experiencing very slow boot up times, but saying that I do have a lot of ORBX scenery. Anyone having the same issues, or have any knowledge as to when they are going to be updated.

So I've added Vector, Trees, and North America to my global base through FTX Central. Everything downloaded just fine. I have all my texture and settings on ultra. I fly in the Cleveland area. I started a flight from KCLE and headed over downtown Cleveland. So much is missing from there. The landmarks such as the rock and roll hall of fame, progressive field, quicken loans arena are not there. The Cuyahoga river is not detailed but more "cartoon-ish" if that is a word. Could I have some settings wrong or did I have my hopes set too high? What I am seeing is nothing like the realism on the Orbx website. I will definitely post some screen shots and you can direc…

Just curious as to how the feelings on this go... Russ

I've updated to P3D v4.1 using the client only. I've only updated anything else in the past through full reinstalls. I'm giving some fairly serious though to doing a content update with 4.1. I'm primarily interested in the rain effects for default aircraft and fixing the F-16 speedbrakes. I was hoping that I could find some comments on what add-ons I should expect to have to reinstall. I've listed my add-ons below and they've all been installed by "default" (i.e., default location in P3D folder struction, only using the add-on.xml method if the installer was built with it). PMDG 737, 747, 777 FS2Crew for the 737 Orbx OpenLC, Global, Vector Orbx aiports FS…

Hi It seem´s that the taxiways are not aligned with the stock photo real scenery, have anybody else noticed that? I have ORBX global and vector installed? RGS Jean

I am currently downloading the full 4.1 version. Before I install, by doing this, will I need to reinstall everything that is compatible? I've read a few contradicting things so before I go down a potentially long journey, I want to make sure what I am getting myself into. I know I'll have to reinstall FSUIPC, Active Sky, ORBX, but I want to make sure everything else should transfer over. Can someone confirm? I know there is a way to install things in pieces with an MSI or something but I am not too savoy tech wise so I'd rather not mess with things too much if that is a more advanced way of doing things. Thanks

After updating to the new Prepard3d V4 and the New PMDG 222-200 or using the PMDG 747 The ATC stopped working. I am using GSX with v4 updates. THe ATC window comes up but not functioning. . .ANy ideas out there?

I never ever fly any of the default planes and I would like to remove them from the plane selection list. Can I simply remove all the appropriate folders from P3D's Airplanes folder...? Or will this cause havoc? I only fly one (or two A2A planes). If this isn't a wise thing to do, how else can I get rid of all the unwanted planes? LOL Never mind... I just discovered the option to only show favorites, which is an option that sticks! Nice. Problem solved.

I was planning to purchase v4 over the weekend...should I wait for v4.1 or will I get an upgrade if I go ahead and purchase 4.0? Thanks!! John Bradley AAL132

I never seen this before, but not sure what's wrong. This is taking off from PHKO, off the east side of the big island in Hawaii. Where there's suppose to be land, I see water instead. But you can't tell from the picture alone, but when I fly and look at it, the water will load back n forth with different textures, sometimes land, sometimes water. But it's suppose to be all land. I tried to delete my shaders, that didn't work. I'm not sure if ENVTEX has anything to do with this? Although I did a restore to my backup textures, and still the same. I am using FTX Global Textures, with openLC and Vector as well. This is the first time I've witnessed this strange problem.

Hi, I really like Free Mesh X 2.0. However, I have experienced serious texture morphing issues as the land textures mixed with water and other landclass. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall orbx and FTX vectors but not helping. I would like to anyone can explain where I should place Freemeshx in the scenery libary. Currently I place it under Orbx airports and LC, but above Orbx Vector and default sceneries and cities. Please advise if this is correct. Thanks, Nic
