Hi all- I see Alabeo has a sale going on. Any suggestions? I *think* I ordered something from them way back but nothing current, How's the Titan?

Lost all trees including FTX TREES HD. The problem seems to be only in FTX England, Wales, and Scotland. I have ticked both boxes for ftx trees hd in central 2. Any help will be appreciated.

Hello, I know the scenario with P3D v4 settings on maximum but it dosen't really work for me on my PC, so they are set "low" now. GTX 1070, i7, 1 TB SSD, Win 10, P3D v4 with many, many Addons (Orbx Global, UT2, PMDG...) My notebook does nearly have the same but the settings are much higher and the FPS works faster the only diffrent is on the notebook - Ezdok v2 and PC - ChasePlane. Please help me to find the issue, I already had the same problem with P3D v3.

I have a 27"diagonal Asus monitoir (2560 x 1440 resolution). Should I be using Wide View Aspect in Pd3v4 display settings? I've tried it both ways and having Wide View OFF seems more realistic to me. Of course, I have to play with the best Zoom percentage to achieve the view I like. What kind of monitor qualifies for the Wide View setting? Also, what are your best Zoom settings both in VC and Spot views? I'd like to hear your opinion on these questions. Stan

Hi, I'm trying to install global vector for P3D V4 via FTX central and I keep getting a Microsoft.NET Framework error. It Says " Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click quit, the application will close immediately. Could not find a part of the path F:\Prepar3D ver 4\ORBS\FTX\FTX_VECTOR_OBJ\SCENERY". I've tried clicking continue but it doesn't work. Everything has installed fine in FTX Central. This is the first problem I've had install any of the Orbx scenery via FTX Central. I tried cleaning up all partial downloads, but it just locks up FTX Central…

Hi, simfriends with the annonces of realityXp and fligh1 of new versions of gns530 for p3dv4... i'm unable to make mine choice between. Mine configuration of data in v4 is done with navigraph integrate by fsaerodata. I hope using directly mine .pln done by flight planners compatible with navigraph... thanks for your minds... and helps. regards

Hi Folks, can anyone be so kind to explain how to install the new GNS Flight 1 530 into the Real Air Dike B60 piston. Sim is the Prepar3d V4. Appreciate your support. Thanks

I feel really stupid as I simply can't get rid of Cockpit Tooltips. I have Miscellaneous Text boxes all unticked, and can't find anything else relevant. Jim

Hi all- Any ideas on the time frame for release? I'm a few versions back and should think about upgrading when this gets released. Cheers,

How is the Aerosoft RJ with update V 1.0.1.1?

Looking to upgrade to P3D in the near future, but I have some (possibly odd) questions... In FSX, I am able to customize hotkeys and views (I take out the majority of them). Because P3D is built upon the FSX module, are the options the same? I know I have to upgrade my Activesky, PMDG planes. I am assuming my PFRX and TOPCAT are still good to go, correct?

So i've been doing some reading on here about managing addons via the add-on.xml approach, which i think is stored in my documents.. Just curious how everyone is approaching this moving forward.. i have a clean (or mostly clean install of p3dv4).. i've installed ftx products which got pulled from p3dv3 (which is still on the hard drive).. i ran some installers for a2a products and fsdt airports.. Now that i realize i can organize all this in the xml file(s) i'm wondering the best method here.. i think i should either start clean again with p3dv4 or uninstall what i've done so i can regroup them folder structure wise? I found the Lorby Addon organizer tool o…

Hi, I had the same problem in V 3 and now I have it in V 4. I amusing orbx Australia, after using the airport elevation correction tool in ftx when landing at YMML I get no landing sound, but at Sydney, using flytampa Sydney landing sound is ok, I can't uncheck YMML from correction, as I get huge canyons in the runway, any suggestions?

The Official Quality Wings Forum, Corey posted a short time ago, a link available to download the paintkit for the 787 Dreamliner 8/9 versions, from memory, they made the 757 paintkit available just before releasing the product.

Hello guys, just took a flight from EGKK to EDDM with my NGX. During final at RWY 26R (at night) there were flashes of light all over my screen. I mean like a lot of guys taking photos of my beautiful approach towards EDDM . Imagine like let's say 1 photo every 3 or 4 seconds. Anyone noticed this already?

Hey folks, Just wondering in both AI packages current state which may be better? I've been using MT6 in P3D v4 but I'm not sure how I like it anymore. I have my sliders at 20% and it seems I have a ton of traffic at the gates but not many in the skies. This is also causing me not to have a free gate at some airports. I ran through and fixed the incompatible aircraft (that didn't have radios) so I definitely have more AC moving about but it still seems off, especially for such a low slider percentage amount. I had UT2 working in P3D v3 and was pretty happy with it. Good amount of traffic matched to the proper time of day. Was wondering how UT Live stacks up now - Pr…

So I had gone through the process of making 95% of my scenery addons addon-xml format.. with folders in the addons directory along with components etc (everything except for FTX and UTX basically).. Prior to this, say with nothing in the addon folder and all entries just as scenery.cfg, a typical load time, fully enabled with everything might be say 6 minutes total. Not much different via the addon folder method.. nothing shocking there i guess.. Where it gets odd is that if you use either Lorby's tool.. or manually change add-on.xml entries within the addon folder to disabled.. there is ZERO difference in load time.. unlike how in the past you can group thin…

Good day,I currently have P3d v3.4 Professional Plus.I installed Pmdg's 747 with no problems but when I load p3d,select the 747 and AIRAC starts to load the sim crashes.The only error I get is "A Fatal Error Occurred".I tried it multiple times with the same results.As soon as AIRAC starts to load it crashes a few seconds later.All other aircraft works fine,only the 747 has a problem.Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Thank you

All I'm looking for an add on that will allow me to hitch a ride on one of my AI flightplans to basically just sit back and enjoy the ride. I've found two that look like they can do the job, Super Traffic Board and AI Tracker X. Just wondering if anyone has ever used either of the above and what they thought ? Or if there's anything else out there that could also do the job ? Regards Gary

I have been using Saitek Yoke, rudder pedals and two throttle quadrants, which have worked just fine in FSX. Using Windows 10 with extensive custom key and axis assignents for flying with PMDG 737. I am new to P3D. Installed v4. In P3 D all of the 3 controllers show up just fine. However when I tried to remap the key assignments and axes exactly like my FSX setup it appears that whether I use Raw or Direct input method, all the assignment go into one "bin" independent of the particular controller I select. This despite being careful to select an individual controller from the dropdown list and enter the assignments with that controller being selected. This lea…

When I try to load a scenario from the defaut scenario setup page, a dialogbox pops up with the message "Are you sure you want to exit Prepar3d?" with the options Yes or No. If I select No, the default flight loads but the scenario setup windows remains on top. I'm running Preapr3d 3.3.5 with Nivdia 372.70 drivers. I have only installed FSUIPC, Orbx scenery, ASN and the PMDG 737NGX. I have deleted Prepar3d.cfg and the shader cache but that has not helped. Has anyone seen this before or know what could be the cause of the problem? Thanks, Raj

Does anyone know of a plug-in to allow me to put a heading in via the keyboard like, "H 360" or speed like "v 250" instead of using the dials? I know I can do this with FS Passengers but sadly it doesn't support p3d v4. I really miss that feature :) Thanks...Michael

Hi all flightsimmers, I am working on the missing, misplaced and "runway only" airfields in the Russian region. Already many found, designed and uploaded for the FS community. I am facing problem with stock NDB's at 2 or 3 airports. I relocated them in the stock bgl on my system files and now those fields are as in the official Russian AIP. Without that modification there would be 2 NDB's with same ID and frequentie at a few 100 meters separation, not very helpfull when doing a NDB approach. Now my question: Is it allowed to distribute those modified stock bgl files in my freeware scenerys (wel...more afcads made with ADE) and upload them? Thanks for a…
