The Prepar3d Forum

Hi, I moved over to Prepar3D v4 recently, and when I load into the sim at Amsterdam (FlyTampa Scenery), my aircraft is spawning half way inside the ground... This is also the same for Orbx Bilbao. Screens: Initially I thought the issue was Orbx Vector, however after running the AEC configurator, the problem still persisted. I also removed vector in it's entirety, and the issue was still there. I've tried reinstalling multiple time, with no success. If anyone knows how to fix this, I would be grateful :)

Hello, I've just updated through FTX Central Open LC Europe for (according to the site) a minor update...as a result Prepar3d v4 does not start any more? Any idea on how to sort this? Many thanks for your help

I've been doing some initial testing with my new p3dv4 build.. granted its huge, .. but so was my p3dv3.4.9 build. My p3dv3 build took around 4.5mins to full load with everything turned on. My p3dv4 build takes about 8.5 mins with the same scenery installed, granted much of this scenery is Not officially p3dv4 ready yet. I have used the add-on.xml in conjunction with the lorby tool to separate all scenery with the exception of p3dv4 titles.. meaning i have an isolated folder with all the scenery.. i also moved the p3dv4 titles into this folder as well. The difference here.. for the p3dv3 titles i used xml component addons to isolate the scenery/world/scenery, …

Hey all. I've installed two Flight1 GTN 750's in the Duke. One has a male "TAWS system test okay" voice, the other a female. In the past I was able to find the menu to change between the two very easily, and now I can't find it anywhere. Was the option removed in an update?

In testing load time issues with my install.. i decided to move most of my folders from the my docs addons folder out.. test.. then move them back in.. As a result.. now i'm being prompted for every single one of my entries and there are tons.. Is there any way to avoid this or auto accept yes? This occurred in p3dv4 for reference.. im guessing these were in the add-on.cfg in progdata originally.. but once removed they got removed, unsure Thanks in advance Edit: I use the lorby tool. Maybe just re running it might fix this automatically.

Hi all, As my v4 is more and more ready for full blown flights finally, I started again to slightly update my AI traffic. And in the course of doing this, I stumbled on those FSPainter payware AI models such as the A380 and others. Now, I wonder: if the download of this AI model alone without textures is already more than 200 megabytes, is there not a huge FPS impact when using this model as AI traffic? I mean, the TFS A380 is about 2-3 megabytes without textures... And in my AI Model folder, it takes 20-30 models to reach those 200mb of the FSPXAI A380. So, my question: How big is the FPS impact by using all of the FSPainter AI traffic models that are payware? …

Yeehar, been waiting for this one to get released, the Just Flight/AH C-46, aka the other DC-3, or more commonly, the Flying Coffin owing to it's abysmal plumbing causing them to explode in mid air depressingly frequently courtesy of fuel tank issues.

BDO Aviation scenery for fsx, is it compatible with p3d? warr and wiii I am interested in buying.

Had a strange occurrence in Prepar3D v4 which completely deleted all of the scenery data in my scenery.cfg file. I opened Prepar3D v4 and was confronted with the message box which informed me of the following "You do not have permission to delete scenery files" "click enter to abort Prepar3D v4, You will need to reinstall Prepa3Dv4". I then opened my scenery.cfg file using Explorer, in the Program data folder and found it empty. I tried to run P3Dv4 again and was informed that there was no scenery file and that the program would close...LUCKILY, I had made a backup of the scenery.cfg with Scenery Configurator and Lori Si, I restored the cfg file, started P3Dv4, scenery fi…

Working excellent here. Is it a solid addon? Cheers bs

Hello Captains, I migrated from FSX to P3Dv4 and I am having some scenery configuration issues. In FSX I was able as desired and almost without no restrictions to move up and down my scenery items, which is apparently not the case in P3D. For example, I installed some FSDG freeware (Oresund, Cape Verde, Tromelin, etc.) items which can't be moved. I tried to group/move these with the most recent version of the Scenery Config Tool Software (version 1.1.9). After moving these items up and down with Scenery Config Tool, my scenery library was somehow messed up in P3Dv4. I had scenery items which originally couldn't be moved, nor edited together with - I think - exac…

Had an error with FTX Central 3 and it asked me to send ORBX a ftxc3.log. How do I send them a log when you can't contact support? Jim

Hi all, I'm using ORBX Vector and i'm noticing in V4 i have some black lakes and rivers, I don't know if its an ORBX problem or P3D, Does anyone have any idea?

I bought and installed KSAN today... I do not have CA Region... But it seems to work nice with my MEgascnery So cal HD Textures Except.. The MEgascnery HD textures is of a higher resolution than the Orbx KSAN, so it keeps seeping through below my location. It would be nice if I could remove the Orbx Photo textures and let the HD textures come through. IT would be good to know which BGLs are photo textures that I could remove. Anyone using KSAN with Megascnery So cal?

Since I was banned for life at the Orbx forum (don't care for John V's dictatorial tendencies), I wanted to know how I get some older airports such as Eagle County and Southampton Airport (purchased from the prior Australian website) into Prepar3d V4? Also wondering if I can use my photo-scenery with Orbx's Global Base Pack by layering above it in the scenery library? Any help is appreciated, Darryl Btw, I don't own Global Base but plan to purchase along with two airports during the current sale...

Hi, I have an issue with Ivap, I installed it, the same for the MTL, went in the dll.xml to add <Launch.Addon> <Name>IvAp</Name> <Disabled>False</Disabled> <Path>C:/Program Files (x86)/IVAO/IvAp v2/ivap_fsx_bootstrap.dll</Path> <Commandline></Commandline> </Launch.Addon> But even after that, I don't see Ivap on my selection addon menu I remember having the same issue once with P3D V3 but I didn't remember how I fixed it Regards

I have installed the P3D version of the RealAir Turbine Duke v2 into P3Dv4 by pointing the Installer at the P3Dv4 Folder. Everything works great I have even successfully installed the F1 GTN750, so I'm 95% there. One annoying problem is the Switches, Gear and Flap sounds not playing. I have seen the other post on this topic and downloaded the file 'dsd_p3d_xml_sound_x64.dll', changed the name to RASDukeTv2_Sound.gau and placed it in the Lockheed Martin\P3Dv4\Gauges folder but when I run load the Duke in P3Dv4 I get this fault message : (D:\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3Dv4\Gauges\RASDukeTv2_Sound.gau Config File Not Found Using Default D:\Lockheed Martin\Pr…

Has anyone tried Traffic 3D in v4 (http://secure.simmarket.com/a-constable-traffic-3d-sounds-fsxp3dv1p3dv2.phtml) ? I simply can't stand the MT default AI sounds. They are so overbearing and I've never found a way to lower them. The second traffic pushes back the roar is just deafening! Thinking of picking this up if itll do the trick.

I just copied the simobjects/airplane folder of the Legacy v2 for P3D v3 into P3D v4. Flies like a dream!

How to do so please. Shift G does not work. Cheers.

This has me flummoxed. I have a three screen setup in my cockpit. The main screen is a 27" touch monitor that I use for the instrument panel. This is the monitor that comes up and loads Win 10. I use a 1080p projector attached to a second GTX970 card for the outside view. The third monitor is a USB Elo touch screen that is used to display GNT 750 & 650. It is attached to the same GTX card as the 27" monitor. My issues is this. Sometimes' (about 50%) when I hit ALT-Enter to go full screen the projected display disappears. The screen go to its normal blank grey display. Other times, everything works a it should and all three screens go full screen. Hitting ALT-Ente…

Choose one and one only ! i'll start LFMD Cannes , Would be an Orbx Delight. Watch from the 6th minute onwards.

So I was just wondering if any real world 737-800 or 900 pilots could chime in. How are the default PMDG NGX sounds vs the real thing? Also wondering how this 737 "Immersion" pack matches real life as well? It's on youtube under "NGX Cockpit Sound Immersion". I haven't been on a 737 in years so I can't remember what they sound like. Also never heard one from the cockpit either for obvious reasons. Just curious to know how each compares. Wasn't sure where to post this type of question so mods feel free to move to the appropriate place.

Hello all, since i'm not exactly a rich man, what would you say the best default airports are in P3|D v4 (or even the Orbx free airport packs)? I found KORD was pretty good so what else is out there for me to explore? Anywhere in the world...

I have FSX installed on an SSD (C:\MyFSX) the same SSD as Win10. I plan to install P3DV4 onto a separate SSD. Does anyone have a similar setup and will I be able to install most add ons into both installations? I've downloaded the newest installers for all the V4 compatible add ons. Will the installers for most compatible add ons "see" both sim installations on different drives and allow the dual add on installation? They are already installed into FSX. Thanks!
