The Prepar3d Forum

I posted this in the Fsdreamteam forum and got no reply so i am wondering if you folks out there could help me I was wondering if anyone can help me with a couple of questions? I know all the heavy parking positions are incorrect, so i have tried to correct them but i am having a problem when i enter the editor i can correct the marshall position no problem, but when i try to correct the 777-200 or 777-300 i end up with the plane back in the same position which is with the nose in the terminal. I follow the editor and it seems correct but when i exit using the Y key the plane moves back to where it started at 2nd question is do …

Hello everyone An update to GSX has been released and the ability to de-ice an aircraft at a dedicated de-icing station has been added.http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php/board,50.0.html The update also applies to P3D, which is very gratifying, because as I remember, this feature has been requested for a long time. I've installed the update but unfortunately haven't had time and won't have for a few days to test it. This is something that has been somewhat lacking in the sim, and I'm very happy that such a possibility has been added. Have any of you perhaps already had a chance to test how it works and share your impressions. Best regards Grzego…

Looks like we finally have a quality add-on for my home airport VABB! Project.max has just released it on simmarket. Reasonably priced as well. Lets hope it works well.

Not really a new topic but it is the first time for me. I had a computer fail and had to re-install quite a bit, including P3D and AIG. P3D has eventually got back to fully working, including RC4 but AIG-OCI is defying all attempts to get it to work. I downloaded the latest Manager and Traffic controller. I have loaded planes, which I can see in the various folders, along with their flight plans. I have checked that the paths seem to be correct. And there are entries in the addons menu, which point to xml files, these in turn start the OCI entries (or should) I have battled for a week now and have got nowhere. Not a single AI plane anywh…

I'm trying to fix the issue of missing buildings on certain default airports in v5. A good example case is Meadow Lake Airport in Colorado Springs. In v5 it is called KFLY and has no (0) buildings. Just runways and taxiways (scenery set to Extremely Dense). In v4 it uses the former name 00V and has about 60 (!) buildings. I want those buildings back! So I browsed a bit and came across this post regarding the loss of parking positions in v5: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/609973-p3dv5-large-reduction-in-parking-positons-same-in-v4/page/3/?tab=comments#comment-4660709 I figured this solution may bring the buildings back as well and I copied all the …

I am installing AI traffic with Alpha India AIM manager that is re directing to old flightsim.com link for FP and models, but the link doe not work anymore, there is a new one... nothing to find on Apha India Forum.... anybody knows how to solve ?

Hello fellow simmers I recently bought FSDG's Bremen (EDDW). After installation in P3Dv4.5, I also activated SODE jetways via FSDG's SODE Link. The jetways are showing, but when I want to move them via GSX or SODE's own device, it always says: "no jetway can operate at this position". This happens at every stand with jetways. What could cause that? Just before writing this, I also tried Caratnya's GSX-Profile. Result: No jetway can operate... I slewed the plane forward, backward, to the left and to the right a few meters – no change. Any help appreciated! Greetings Michael

Hey guys, Running into a weird issue. Just went to start up a flight in the pmdg 737 and having issues with the throttle in the aircraft moving without me even touching the lever on my joystick (using logitech extreme3rd pro). I tried different airplanes, happening in every one, its like the throttle is constantly fidgeting and wont stay at idle although the lever on my joystick is fully at idle. This has literally never happened up until this point when I tried to fly tonight, I have no idea whats going on.

The HUD graphics of my QualityWings 787 do not fill up the visor screen. They are about half the normal size. I tried changing P3D graphics options (they are all set to the max), but to no avail. The QW support forum is not a very active place and I have seen no response to my questions there. Does any of you have an idea?

For Night Flying with the DA62, I created a Flight Sim Labs Spotlight profile allowing a dimmer lighting than the one offered by the original flood light dimmer in the VC. FSLSpotlights is an application that FSLabs incorporated in their Airbus and made available for free to the public as donation ware (since v2.0.0.9). It works with P3d V4.1 and more. It allows creating a group of small lights in the VC that can provide dim (or bright) lighting to various part of the panel. I used it to put a dim bluish light on the G1000 PFD and MFD knobs and buttons. Also one for the compass. Installation: You need to download and install Spotlights from…

Hi, Hopefully this is the right forum to post this (hopefully at least someone knows the fuel system of Concorde) Last week, I began my journey into learning the extremely complex systems of Concorde. Up until now I have just been learning the basics but yesterday I began studying the intricate fuel management system and the engineering behind it. To strengthen my understanding, I read up on a few documents like the FSLabs Concorde X manual and watched a few videos such as the youtube video from UPS1000 titled "ConcordeX - Master the Fuel Panel". Some of you might already be familiar with the video (it has around 30k views) but I will link it below with the tim…

Hello, Does anyone else own the Aerosoft Airbus A318-321 Professional and know how to get rid of the annoying water and snow spray effects when taxiing in the winter and rain? They are cool, but they kill FPS and are super annoying when its not snowing out, just not realistic. Thanks

Hi All. Could anyone out there please be kind enough to send me the link or file for the Qualitywings 787 light fix for DIM Landing/taxi lights. I lost my files when upgrading my computer. I've seen the video tutorial on youtube by a guy called Philippa I think, but I can't find the download anywhere. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you. Best regards Malcolm

Dear: I so far used P3D v5.2. Now updated to v5.3. But I find black textures for the add on aircraft except PMDG and Majestic. It shows black textures for flight deck, exterior, buildings and taxiways. P3v v5.3 is almost unusable except PMDG and Majestic. I also updated Nvidia driver to the latest. Any help? Regards, Haseen Ahmad.

Ok, so I'm running P3D5.3 whenever I load into the sim, the front of the plane is always, either inside the terminal, hangar or in the grass, same with the AI birds that are parked. These are all stock airports BTW: The taxiway and runway markings are correct and lined up, but the aircraft is not parked on the "T". If I Shift+P back or Slew back to put the nose gear on the T like it should be, the plane is in the right spot and the spacing is correct. However, I've noticed that some of the other ground markings at the parking spots aren't lined up correctly. Such as on Cargo aprons, some have the white "outline" of the plane, and it's been shifted forward into a building …

As I was installing 2 payware airportts into P3D v5.3, we suddenly had a power outage. When I restarted P3D, everything seemed normal but when I tried to fly from those airports (in New Zealand), there are only 2 runways and no parkings listed. I tried a few other airports including Heathrow but after trying to load any AUS/NZ airport the details of any other airport in the world are the same: 2 runways, a fuel bay and nothing else. On reboot, everything goes back to normal, until I try to access an AUS/NZ airport, then it reverts. I have tried a repair, and deleting and re-installing. Doesn't help. Any one any ideas? What has got corrupted?

First off apologies to all those that know but this is for people who didnt(like myself).I must have been living under a rock for the last few years and having to just deal with the dark cockpits in P3Dv5.3(even with the HDR fix). Then today i finally sorted it,Nvidia Control Panel turn the brightness up from 50% to 70%,job done,lighter cockpits and the QW787 can now come out of retirement,seriously guys sorry to all the simmers who knew about this,hopefully this will help those who didnt.

I'd like to do a completely stock, virgin, stock only install of the sim - I tried uninstalling and re-installing and it seemed to be successful - except all of the Orbx add ons and other "junk" was still there - how do I uninstall/delete so I can be left with a totally FRESH installation - seems like I need to go find other files in other folders and delete them? Thanks, Steve

Ive finally pulled the pin and converted the IL-76 from a FS2004/FSX to P3D v5 Now it has clear windows, spinning engines and working surfaces No VC sadly so its been merged with a 4 engine tube vc Now comes the painful task of creating a paintkit if I cant find one and doing bumps and new textures

I did the River Visual approach into KDCA and when I turned final no runways just grass with a windsock. Any ideas. Jerry

Bought majestic q400 a few years ago from Flightsimstore but i can no longer find the site is there any place i can download the Q400 for Prepar3d? I have my product code and everything but i just cant find the installer cause it seems the shop i bought it off is now closed. http://www.flightsimstore.com

hello, i have p3dv5.3, ASP3D, and Rex Skyforce. i use Skyforce for Clouds, ASP3D as weather engine. - when i start P|3D, should i start Rex Skyforce aswell? even when i dont use the weather engine? - should i enable the option: in-sync cloud model status? or leave every option disabled in synchronization system status? regards, Alex

How do I make the gps not movable on p3d v4.5

I am fresh user of Tobii Eye Tracker, as received just yesterday, but have a question if Tobii can work together with Chaseplane. After yesterday tests i see that when both are activated then view is flickering, so either one or another. Chaseplane have option for head tracking but it looks like it is not compatible with Tobii.

When I installed SXAD Nashville (KBNA) scenery in P3D V5.3, I noticed two folders KBNA_HP_P3Dv5 and KBNA_LP_P3Dv5 They both have scenery and textures folders What does the HP an the LP mean? I am use to seeing one scenery and texture folder associated with any airport scenery. I've not heard back from SXAD support about this. I've never used one scenery where two folders are used and would like to know why this is.
