Hello, I use Hfisim products with pleasure BUT I have a small problem when Aircraft is in the runway and climing up to 2000 ft some of the low level clouds are flashing . Hifisim told me to change some of my settings ... BUT I do not know where to start ... https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5o0YO0GtxiCRW15eUdlMElQd1U/view?usp=sharing The quality of the video is ... not good... it was taken with my phone. Sorry; Thanks in advance

Hi Flying, yesterday evening from EDDS Stuutgart to EDDL Dusseldorf on new orbx Germany-South. Near the border around EDSB Karlsruhe-Baden-Baden, I remarked many faults of landclasses (missmatchs), Landing on this EDSB and I have trees on taxiways... To know if it is on mine computer, only a bad installation or a conflict ... I desire that one, who have this global-scenery, charge this scenery and report to me this EDSB zone. Many Thanks, Marc

The Sr22 seem to always climb (without flaps) with constant power no matter how much elevator trim I adjust. The plane seems to settle for about 30 sec and then begins to rapidly climb, sometimes reaching over 1000 ft/min. There seems to be no scale or way for me to tell how much elevator trim is applied, when it is time to land (approach) things are really unstable because I have applied so much upward trim it is hard to determine where my trim setting is to get things back to normal to start my descent. The plane also bobbles when trying to maintain a steady descent rate to track the glidescope. Hands off, full flaps, at about 30% - 40% power, the plane will m…

Apart from suggestions to upgrade to P3D v4 (I can't because I don't have enough money to buy all of the 64 bit sceneries) does anyone think the QW 787 for P3D v4 will work in P3D v3.4 because aerosoft said for scenery it matters however for aircraft they are the same, I'm not sure as that was about THEIR A330 X. Thanks and if so does anyone have any idea how long afterwards the 787 for P3D will be released?

Tonight I did my first flight into FlyTampa EKCH, one of my all time favorite airports. All in all it seems to work fine in P3Dv4 but one thing I noticed was how the waves look really weird and kind of moves along the shore rather than towards the shore. Made a short video using my mobile below. Sorry for the crappy quality but good enough to show what I'm talking about. Haven't asked over in FT own forums yet but will do unless someone in here already knows how to fix this if possible.

My current computer is running an i7 2600k @3.4ghz with a GTX 560 Ti and 8gb of RAM. I've had this computer for about 5 years and just want an upgrade that will hold it over for at least another 1-2 years. I was thinking about upgrading the graphics card to either a GTX 1050 Ti 4gb or a GTX 1060 but I'm worried about my CPU bottlenecking with P3D V4. Right now I'm able to get a little under 20fps with the PMDG NGX and FlyTampa Amsterdam but I want something that will get me a solid 30+ fps. Will the 1050 Ti be fine or should I go for either the 1060 6gb or the 1060 3gb SC? Thank You Kyle

FSFX Packages is doing a presentation at the Cosford Flightsim show tomorrow and the title of the presentation is...'It's one of those replay moments'. I certainly hope that means that Keven will be unveiling a new recorder feature which was developed with the P3Dv4 SDK.

just sorting out my settings in pd3v4 I got yesterday. got most of settings down handpat, but having difficulty with throttle . in settings you have a number of options, decrease increase full etc etc can anyone give me a clue how I get it set up dave

Greetings, I've been working for months now on attempting to resolve never ending Hung App errors on FSX in Win 7/64 and P3DV4 in Win 10/64 on separate drives. Can someone tell me what this means? svchost.exe:AudioClientRpc Thanks.

So many people seem to have i7 7700Ks for example I'm wondering if 4.5 GHz on an i5 3750K gets me 40fps in P3d while 4.5 GHz on the i7 will get me 50 or 60fps? Sometimes CPU architecture makes a big difference, but is P3d one of those times? Or does clock speed still matter the most so I should just hang tight? ps. simming is the most I push my CPU. It's not like I render videos or anything that would really show the limitations of the i5. Thx for your advice.

Till P3Dv3 the Dolby Cockpit Sounds FSX was working fine With P3Dv4 I have the issue that it stops repsonding after 10-20 minutes. As I fly with Prosim I posted my issue there , but unfortunately no one seems to know the answer. What I did : Made a LUA script that executes the moment I push a button on my Yoke Made a batchfile that is being launced by the LUA script and starts Dolby Cockipit Sounds FSX. Even though the batchfile starts DCS as admin it does not start up completely and all my settings are not there anymore. If I start DCS by mouseclick it starts up perfectly with all my saved settinmgs... Here my Topic : https://prosim-ar.c…

OK, don't know if this is even possible... Does anyone know of an addin that will reduce time compression to 1:1 just before each leg of a route and then increase it again after the turn? I don't have time to sit through a multi hour flight without time compression, but with the more realistic planes (I've just bought the PMDG DC6) I find their external flight models doesn't handle turns under AP well if time is compressed. So it'd be nice to be able to set something up that (say) reduced time compression to 1:1 5 miles before each waypoint and then increased it back to whatever it was set to 2 miles after the waypoint, if that makes sense. Would mean when I'm…

One weird error i have came across a few days ago. I took a break from P3Dv3.4 for 1 month it was working perfectly, expect i could not start in the UK. I come back after a month and then i cant start at Elgin AFB the default airport even with the default aircraft, it crashes when it reaches 100% on "Loading Air Traffic Control" i've done nothing to the simulator at all this just happened it self. I've tried other airports that don't seem to contain much scenery, still i get the same error. So far i haven't found a solution to it. Not only that but i can't even change aircraft (PMDG aircraft 777 and 747), i press select then the screen goes black then i comes up with a er…

Just to let everyone know, I have removed the listing of followers for the Main Topics, like Hangar Chat, P3D Forum, FSX Forum, etc., and not to specific threads in those forums. It appears our upgrade earlier this year might have somehow corrupted this notification. For instance, in the FSX Forum, I found 189 followers but, when I clicked on the followers, it showed only 30 names and at the bottom, only 16 others (which does not add up to 189). Of course, many of them might have indicated they did not want others to know they were following but many of those following were old registrations and the math did not add up so decided to start fresh. We had a possible glit…

Hi... I recently completed a flight from KSFO-KDFW. When finished, I shut down P3d. I was looking to see if PSP was installed and noticed there was an update to Open LC or Base that I needed to install. I went ahead and did the install/update. When I did that, I tried to load P3d and the sim just hangs in the black start screen. I don't get a CTD or any error message. It just sits there and never gets me to the menu screen. I can only think the update is what is causing the issue. Can someone point me in the right direction to fix? I'd hate to have to do an uninstall/install because I have so many add ons in there. THanks!

Can someone confirm if FSDT DFW works with P3dV4? If so, is it an easy install? Thanks

Hello everybody, I'm a satisfied user with the product TQ V3 Silver. Previously I have used FSX STEAM & PMDG 737NGX. My TQ V3 motorised has worked OK. But now I have installed PREPAR3D V4 & PMDG. The manual trim works OK, but whit automatic pilot trim motorised it doesn't work. I have installed the last CFY version Driver V1.6.41 whit Simconnect. & FSUIPC 5. I follow the CFY instalation Tutorial 1-6-40 2017-08-23, which certainly does not say anything about prepar3d V4 Can you help me to solve this?

Hi! This is my first post at AVSIM. Is there a way in V4 to reduce cloud shadow texture resolution, because it gained so much FPS in V3? I tried adding this line: CLOUD_SHADOW_TEXTURE_SIZE=128, but id did not make difference. Thanks! Branimir Filovski

Ok so started using this software and it's fantastic, why I didn't know about this before I don't know. Been previously using FS commander and it's it good but getting dated. everything on EFB is setup and working great the only issue I have is the moving map, I can see ai traffic and Vatsim traffic depending if I'm flying online or not, however the aircraft displayed on EFB don't move, if I click away outside the window and click back in the aircraft will update to their locations (whereas in fs commander they are constantly moving) am I going blind and missing the correct setting for this or is this just the way it is?

Hello to you all, I have a problem which (as usual) is driving me crazy. I downloaded my ORBX sceneries (Australian airports) into a download folder. I have since found out that this is very very incorrect but I did so as a result of perceived lack of install instructions. Having detected MY error wioth a lot of help from AVSIM, I tried to redownload these airports. I get into my account ... click on YBBN ... click on download with FTX Central and NOTHING happens. After several attempts (including logging out and re logging in and trying the same with different airports) I went into support and read the item there about the manual download.So I downlo…

I must admit these results seem almost to good to be true, but I double checked and verified -- perhaps there was something wrong with my P3D V4 installation on my 5960X but my test flight was visually identical on both systems.

Add-ons used: Orbx FTX Global Orbx Freeware EU Airports Orbx OpenLC EU Orbx OpenLC NA Orbx Trees FSUIPC5 Aircraft is the default A36 Location EGFF - RWY 12 loop (Left Hand Pattern) There were other add-ons installed but not being used, ASP4/ASCA, FSDT GSX, FSFX Packages, UTLive (set to 0 AI), RAAS Pro 64bit (disabled for aircraft) 5960X fraps data (raw c…

Hi guys, I always loved custom made local airport, like EHEH (Eindhoven Airport) in my vicinty. I chose to install this scenery into V4. Unfortunately I see no white runway lights coming up and also no taxilights/ramp+gate lights. The airport is besides some blue taxilights pitched dark. Does anyone know how to make lighting work in V4 for these sceneries? I installed NL2000 Eindhoven airport by the way. Thanks.

In case anyone missed them, there are updates for the C-46 Commando and one for the Trinidad and Tobago. C-46: FDE improvements ASI - TAS scale fixed Interior/exterior lighting - fixed USAF China Doll livery - red stripes removed from roundel on wing Engine start controls/process improved - mesh switch no longer single-use Cold & dark switch labels added to overhead panel Yokes are now hideable - click spots located on cockpit torches Captain's instrument panel overlap issues - fixed Instrument panel gaps fixed Various tooltips fixed Cockpit hoses fixed Fuel gauges not displaying accurate quantities - fi…

I haven't migrated to P3D yet but was considering trying it out by installing it on my current computer to run beside FSX. It's likely however that I might need to replace my computer within the next couple of years and I just wondered if the P3D licence would be transferable to a new computer or whether it would require a new licence to be purchased? I have looked at P3Dv4 T&Cs and it says that the licence is for one computer, which I understand, but it is not clear whether that licence can be transferred. Bill

Hi all, I wondered if any common best practices were surfacing when installing P3D v4 and add ons such as scenery files, aircraft, airports etc. I'm about to get a new rig with a 500TB SSD plus a 3TB SATA HDD. My thought process was OS and P3D on the SSD and all other add ons (ORBX, REX, GSX, Active Sky etc.) on the HDD. This way if P3D upgrades come along, all add ons are unaffected??? Am I being naive? Thanks all. Nige
