Hello, I have recently purchased Aerosoft Balearic Islands pack - BIP (LEPA/LIBH/LMH) from Aerosoft that was adopted as a straight port for P3Dv4.0. The installers put sceneries' entries into scenery.cfg file correctly, then I ran FTX Vector to check an elevation for each airport. Apparently, every time I load P3D with either PMDG plane in any location with Balearic airports active I have IMMEDIATE ntdll.crash and then I received a message that your video driver has been successfully recovered. However, when I try the same scenario with F22 plane, I have no this problem at all. When I de-activate BIP from scenery.cfg I'm able to fly PMDG birds again. I did several othe…

I have been looking at Ezdok and wonder if there are any other camera tools available. I mainly want custom views in VC to pitch down a little during approach etc; and set default zoom levels and adjust eyepoints that save with the aircraft without me having to edit cfg files. I also need this utility to work with TrackIR. Also, does ezdok need to run constantly after a view has been set?

Hi, Just wondering if FSGenesis mesh is compatible and worth installing. Also what would be the order of installation, or does it matter. 1. FSGenesis Mesh2. Ultimate Terrain X3. Ground Environment X4. REX So far, I like what I'm seeing. Thanks

I get blurry textures sometimes a little and sometimes a short distance it is really blurred. What can cause blurry ground textures?I have the best affinity mask for my CPU and my Vram not overload. When I see blurry my Vram max 1.8GB 2GB. I have defraged my hard drive but no difference. I get blurry textures sometimes a little and sometimes a short distance it really blurry.

OK, I understand the benefits of keeping FSX on a separate drive to the OS, but.... I have two SSDs, one with Win 7 on and the other with P3D and all my addons and sceneries in the usual install scenario. My question is, would there be any benefit, when I soon reinstall for a new build, to put P3D on the C drive along with Win 7 and then keep all sceneries etc on the other SSD? Or is it just better to keep everything together on a drive separate from the OS? Cheers guys.

<split from another thread> Why not get an Optane and four 2T HDDs for under £300 gives 16Gb SSD performance as cached 4T array with iRST RAID10 redundancy - no need to reinstall after a drive failure, just slot in another £55 drive.

Hi all! P3Dv4 So why is the zoom number not displaying upper-right of the display? Looking in the .cfg file I see "InfoUpperRightTextEnable=True" so I assume that's right. Any ideas? Tkx! Doug

Every time I try to fly a default flight plan using P3DV4 ATC and flight planner, if I pause the sim or check the map to check my position, ATC will stop my IFR flight and I have create a new flight plan. I also noticed that I am not the only who gets dropped. I can the ATC message asking another flight if they copy several times and then they also get dropped and only have flight following or they would have to open a the flight plan again. I fly for a VA and can't really have this happen all the time. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks. Bob G.

Hello I recently upgraded to P 3-D v4. I have a 250 GB SSD dedicated to p3dv4 only that is quickly filling up and was wondering if anyone's used junction link magic to move there scenery files. I would like to move on my Orbx sceneries to another dedicated SSD . My questions are do you think this will work ?I have read on forms that people have done it on version three but not on ver4. Also if it's the same exact SSD Same size and brand will there be a performance loss ? Thanks for any help. Tom

So now that the 747 is out, I plan on flying on Vatsim, however I haven't been able to get the model matching to where it was in FSX. I copied over all of the WOAI stuff from the simobjects folder, but no luck, vpilot can't seem to make it work. Any ideas? Has anyone got AI traffic to work in P3D v4?

I have posted this message on REX support forum and waiting their reply; good day, downloaded latest version from The FlightSim Store with following name "rextd_sp6_hotfix5_20170725" installed with no issue, trying to install texture for P3D V4 but it will not advance beyond configuration/settings selection pages with following red warning message; any suggestion? for info; I do not have another flight sim installed to try it there.

Am I the only person on here who has never enjoyed this hobby more since fully switching over to P3D V4 from V3 when the NGX was made available for the new sim? I've been in this hobby more years than I care to remember and, quite frankly, it has always under-delivered until now. The inability of computers to recreate a totally realistic flight experience in the years leading up to FSX and then the massive hassle that was living with the technical shortcomings of that, essentially abandoned, platform. Then the 32-bit limitations of the first three versions of P3D that, although each gave a better result than its predecessor, still couldn't provide an OOM-less virtual…

Coming over from FSX SE I used WOAI, I believe this isn't compatible in v4 because some of the models are native FS9. I mainly fly online with PilotEdge and Vatsim so need something decent for the model matching. Recommendations? Thanks

Can anyone explain this? lol. This is default ABQ. Anything not a taxiway, runway or building is sunk thousands of feet below. Addons are ORBX Base, Vector and North America.

This is the answer I received from Brady Butler (LM) for random CTDs that occur when using the zoom of Garmin GPS 500: "We identified a GPS issue yesterday and are working on a fix. Changing zoom levels over certain water locations would Occasionally cause a CTD. "

I have been trying to access UK2000 website all day but it appears that it is down. Anyone else having this problem? Thanks

Is it possible to run aivalsoft efb on both p3dv3 and v4 without having to change locations ? I currently have it working fine for p3dv3 and fsx but i would like to now use it for v4 ,but to do this, will i have to change the path from v3 to v4 or is there a way to have both

I have a couple of the switches on my Saitek Pro Yoke set to move through some of the views. Doing so randomly causes P3D v4 to randomly increase the sim rate. This is with the PMDG NGX (current version). I haven't tested this with other aircraft yet, but was wondering if anyone else has this issue, or better yet, knows how to lock the rate at "Normal." Other stuff: Checked all key bindings in the sim, FSUIPC (v5 and paid), and SPADNext. I'm Using SPAD to integrate a Saitek switch and a multi panel with NO Saitek drivers installed.

While the performance of P3Dv4 is phenomenal, I'm noticing I had better FPS in clouds running AS16+Rex softclouds in v3. Could that be because the default clouds are at 2048 texture size as opposed to SC's 512 with compression? I understand this isn't very scientific, just curious really.

I'd like to change the name of sub-folder "Rotorcraft" under the "SimObjects" folder to "Rotorcraft and Sailplanes".......tried a simple Microsoft explorer rename, but P3D4 would no longer see the folder and the objects within it when P3D4 ran..... Any help appreciated... Thanks, John H

How do I install Prepar3D v4 on a drive other than C? My E drive is a much faster drive, but I can't get it installed there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tom

Hi guys, This is just a quick one as it's late here and I have an early start tomorrow so bed calls! But I found out about this External Frame Rate Limiter that works with DX10 and DX11. I tried it with P3D2 and first impressions are EXCELLENT! ............ It certainly works. I limited Frames at 34 in the tool, and indeed P3D2 sat at 33.9 :smile: ... and more importantly, all the 'frame variance stutters' were gone and the experience was beautifull smooth. Only tested for 15 mins though. ... and YMMV! It is called DXtory http://exkode.com/dxtory-downloads-en.html Here's a bit of information about it from a post on the Steam forum :- htt…

Hello everybody, my birthday is coming soon and my parents are going to get me P3D v4. P3D v4 costs a lot of money so before they do I would like to get some information on if and how well I can run P3D v4. Here are my computer specs: - Intel i7 6700HQ @ 3.4 Ghz (In turbo frequency) - Nvidia GTX960M (4GB) - 8 GB DDR4 RAM - Windows 10 Home 64-bit What I am planning to use with P3D v4: - ORBX FTX Global - REX Soft Clouds/Texture Direct - Active Sky Next - Maybe the PMDG 737 I am currently using FSX with all the things listed above and in the PMDG 737 I get about 18 - 26 fps. Without the PMDG 737 I get…

I've always run at 4096 x 4096 textures but am getting heavy performance hits in the bigger cities at 8x MSAA. Does this setting have any effect on ground textures or is it just for airport textures, etc? I've tried running at 2048 or lower and it could just be placebo but at 4k the ground textures look much better to me. I run ORBX global, vector, and LC if that matters. Does the texture resolution have any noticeable hit on FPS? This is for V4. Thanks!
