Hello all, I am hoping a scenery / P3D guru can help with this strange anomaly I have just reinstalled Win 7 and P3D V3 (disk shuffle in prep for V4) and installed Earth Simulations scenery for Alderney, Guernsey, Scilly Isles and the Isle of Man. Scilly was installed from DVD all the others from ESI packs. Prior to re-install all worked as intended. Since re-install the Isle of Man works perfectly. All of the others install with base scenery, autogen buildings and trees as well as all airport taxiways and apron hardware and vehicles. Not installed are the Terminal Buildings - items like radar dishes installed on top of the building are there just no building. S…

Hey! I'm having a problem. I have few planes that no longer work with Prepar3D. For example, the Embrear and the PMDG 747. Both aircraft bugging. When I load this plane, It spawn my plane without gear and the joystick all the way to the left. For people who have been intrinsically PMDG has been purchased, Embrear has been purchased and P3D has been bought legally. I'm constantly looking for solutions. Some say i have to install simconnect. I did this but it still does not work. Also with reinstallations. I hope some people knows a solution, Greetz!

I am receiving the following warning when ever I open P3D loading screen. How can I solve this problem?

I see weird high antennas everywhere, especially in the US. How do I get rid of that? Currently I have just FTX Orbx Global installed. Picture below. It is a bit hard to see, but they are there. https://picload.org/view/dgaarlca/unbenannt.jpg.html Thanks!

I have no idea whats causing this, but at night, some buildings are see through, but they arent see through during the day. Any ideas?

Hi All Flying the new Xtremeprototypes Learjet in P3Dv4 Has anybody got the GTN 750 into this plane yet-I can't! I can in the v2 version of the plane in P3Dv3.4 Would like to achieve the same result in P3Dv4 Anything I could try? xxd09

Up to V3 I used FSPS Dolby Cockpit Sounds icw my 737-800 aircraft. It added : - spoiler wind sound with volume according to the speed - flaps wind sound according to the position and speed - gears sound according to opening the geardoors , geardump and gear down . Volume depending on speed - brakes + brakes overheat sound FSPS in april this year stopped selling it and made it freeware. In V4 it is working for 5-15 min and then it stops responding. Good enough for take off. When landing I need to restart the program. So I am looking for a program similar to this one and that keeps working in V4.

Andrew over at FSL has just posted Screen shots of the new Full 4096 VC. https://forums.flightsimlabs.com/index.php?/topic/13729-preview-shots-of-virtual-cockpit-in-p3d-v4/ Just one. Also another little preview shot at the bottom

Good day. I am attempting to run an AI application (which is still in Beta stage) in P3D v4. The flight plans are out of date since they still use FAJS and FADN as ICAO codes for airports in my local area and therefore there is no "spawning" of aircraft at certain locations. Their reasoning on the forums is that default P3D v4 still has FAJS & FADN as default ICAO codes and FALE does not exist. When I type these codes into my copy of P3D v4, FAJS does not exist. I have FAOR and FALE (FADN is still recognised). Can any P3D v4 users please verify this for me? I find it hard to believe from the developer of the AI application that they are using such outdated plans. I ha…

Hi, I using P3dv4 with PMDG, Ezdok, registered Fsuipc, Orbx Global, Vector an EU LC and got some problems. Hopefully I am right here. 1. Problem: Some rivers and lakes have black fields at their texture. Dont know where this anomalie came from. 2. I need to reimport Ezdoks profils again and again after restart the sim, while using the same aircraft 3. It isnt possible for me to configure a light (for example logo light) for my Hotas Thrustmaster Throttle switch (tried it via PMDG ID and fs action select). Anyone can help me out? Greetings

I use p3d4 and run with gtx1080ti. My FPS are average 30-35 usually. When I undock a new window on the second monitor my fps goes up to 60. Could anyone tell me why and explain me the reason why only undock a second new window increases the fps? Georgios

Hi all, on my last V4 installation I had a C-172 installed, but no idea where it came from. During the last days I did an fresh install of the sim but no C-172 this time. Any ideas where that plane came from :)? It was the plane that Markus Rust was using on his flight to Moscow, at least there was his picture in the VC. Maybe the C-172 can be ported over from FSX? Many thx in advance dirk

Hi guys, I am running Pacsim KSLC in v4. Would anyone know how to disable the surrounding photo scenery? I am having blurring issues.

On the last couple of flights I've noticed what looks like a vertical light beam going from the horizon and upwards about my 10-11 o clock when flying at night. This is using P3Dv3 and the latest version of AS16 and ENVTEX. I'm thinking if it might be some ENVTEX effect causing this. Anyone else seen this? This is what it looks like. Might be a bit hard to see (it's very easy to see when flying in VR where everything gets much bigger and a more natural scale) but if you looks at the screenshot from a bit of an angle to the left or right it's easier to see. At least that is the case on my Samsung 4K screen. https://i.imgur.com/boQzWPi.jpg

Hi guys, Need some help please. So i was installing a scenery and used this tool. However after I tried to run p3dv4 his error came up and this was the solution provided on the website: I have the latest version installed and I've tried the backup method also. It worked and now after installing another scenery using it, this time it won't work now even after i follow the same step again. I tried uninstalling the migration tool and somehow the error still shows the same when trying to launch p3dv4. So i can't fly now! This sucks! I have tried to register on the website also to check the forums or create a support ticket but the website is being…

When I first load up P3D what's the first thing I always do? Well I'll tell you. The first thing I do is ask myself where am I going to fly from/to today. And I usually waste about 10 minutes before concluding....I'll fly from to and from airport that I've covered a million times before. So how do you ladies and gents decide what airports you're gonna fly from and to? What factors play a part in making such important decisions? EDIT: In hindsight, I probably should have put this in Hangar Chat, as it's not just limited to P3D, so if a moderator wants to move it that would be cool.

Hey guys, in this post I will be explaining some simple tweaks that I have been testing on my system that will increase the "R" in HDR. I was not sure if I should post this here or in "Tips and Tricks" but if the Mod's feel this post belongs there instead feel free to move it. The purpose of these tweaks is to increase the range of the HDR in P3D allowing for the kind of dark nights where you wont be able to see a wing or cloud unless there is a light shining on it, while also getting a brighter daytime than default that will showcase the true power of the sun. If set up correctly all of this plays nicely with cloud shadows which will still remain dark, it is now a tru…

I am under the impression after reading a great deal about this, that NVidia Inspector is NOT NECESSARY when using Prepar3dv4! What is the general consensus on this. I would prefer not to use it, and hope that most of you agree with me. Stan

There are two freeware sceneries that Id like to download: Syros Island LGSO P3D LGMT Mytilene P3D I can't find a download page. Thanks for the help.

Recently I have been having trouble with blurries and popups but can't figure out what could be the cause. I never noticed them before recently and haven't messed around with my settings too much. The only thing I can possibly think of would be that I just upgraded to a Dell Ultrasharp U3415 curved widescreen. I bumped the resolution in the sim to the highest so maybe that is a cause? Or something in my graphics card? My specs and settings are follows: Win 10 Intel 7th Gen Core i7 7700K (4.7GHz Overclock) Quad Core 16gb mem 6GB Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060, PCI Express 3.0 500GB Samsung EVO 850 Solid State Drive sliders mostly right, 19m text…

Hi guys! Taxi2gate LFPG is now available http://secure.simmarket.com/taxi2gate-paris-charles-de-gaulle-lfpg-fsx-p3d.phtml

I don't know if it is just me, but in my P3D v4 installation the coastal waves effect is inverted so the tail of the wave is actually moving ahead of the wave! I fixed this by using DXTBMP to flip all channels in textures "fx_swoosh.bmp" and "fx_swoosh2.bmp" from top-to-bottom (both these files are in the Effects\Texture folder). - Steve

hi all 1.20 is just released, so I somehow expected to have dynamic lighting after updating. but I don't, is this correct? vkr victor

Hi simmers. After reading some of you seeing VRAM as high as 8-10gb i could not quite get it to match my setup. I am using GTX970's for now in SLI. Tried KLAX FSDT with ftxsca and the DC6 down to FTX KSAN. Also EDDM to FTX LOWI in the DC6 with high resolution textures and LOD maxed out. KLAX KSAN was a slideshow close to airports and saw VRAM above 4GB on both cards occasionally. Otherwise 25fps FL100 Could anyone with 11gb cards test in this area and with the above scenerys? 382.33 (SLI seems good. Havent tried newer ones) 4K 3840X2160 I7@4770K(4.9-4.7-4.6-4.6)HT OFF DDR32400 16GB Thanks Michael Moe
