Hello Everyone, I have a small question in regards to hard edges visible at the horizon line, when at FL370ish and up. Usually, to get rid of them, I would set up the upper visibily limit in ActiveSky to about 80/90mi. I read on these forums that some people use PTA to get rid of hard edges, is that via the Haze setting? I have applied it but the hard edges are still visible at about FL370+ and upper visibility 120mi. Would be grateful if someone could shed some light on it. I don't mind limiting upper visibility below 90, but it also casues "Fog" effect which is quite hardcore to look at.

I can use MT6 etc in my P3dV4 machine, like I have in my FSX and FSX-SE machines, BUT...want to have a go at installing some of the great AI packages such as WOAI and AIG in my P3Dv4 machine, which at present is a blank canvas. Because I have no AI aircraft models set up yet, and not really sure how get the AIFP/AIG install working just now, I am going to use the WOAI installer, which seems a one stop shop method. So far, I have managed, with some help from AIG to use the WOAI installer(in manual mode) to create a flight plan into a folder, with the file called, Tigerair Australia. Now this has two folders and 3 files: aircraft > WoA_FAIB_FS9_A320_IAE> wi…

I've been flying Carenado 350i for a while and not only have I come to grips with the slightly idiosyncratic ProLine21 and FMS, I've really come to enjoy the aircraft as a whole. I've used it as sort of a personal airplane to hop around England and Continental Europe. I'd like to get something single pilot that is a bit faster now but I cannot decide between the CJ2 and the Premier. I know the Premier is faster but I've always like Citations and how simple and robust they are in real life. I'm looking for some opinions to help decide. Since I don't need to pay for maintenance and fuel I am leaning towards the Premier for it's performance but I'm a bit apprehensiv…

Some while back when Carenado/Alabeo started upgrading their planes for use in P3Dv4 I naturally did the upgrades. I started getting messages saying something to the effect (can't remember the exact wording) that I had duplicate planes with the same name. So before I upgraded each plane to v4 I would delete the v3 version. Seemed to work ok as I no longer got the "duplicate" message. What I have recently noticed is that the planes I thought I had deleted were still installed in v3 even though they were no longer listed under Sim Objects/Airplanes. So to investigate further I went to Windows/Control Panel/Programs and Features and deleted a particular plane. Sure eno…

I've bought P3D v4 today and I'm a bit disappointed with the performance of the sim. I was under the impression that I'll have the same if not similar fps that V3 has if I use the same settings. To my surprise the fps hit halved. As an example loading with the PMDG 737 into Tegel airport in V3 I have 45+ fps. Using exactly the same settings in v4 my fps is around 22. I've managed to bring it up to 28 disabling the "Use High resolution terrain textures" but I'm still well bellow what I can achieve in V3 and I haven't even installed ORBX yet. P3D v3 settings and FPS: P3D v4 settings and FPS: To say I'm disappoin…

Hello to everybody, i`d like to discuss an idea i have had and hope that some scenery developers will read this topic and its replies. On the market you can find perfectly modeled scenery addons for nearly every international airport on the planet. But each one of them costs at least 20$. But when i want to fly lets say to SCEL one time in my life as a virtual pilot, these 20$ are much to expensive for me. But the default p3d airport of SCEL has only one runway and the taxiways, gates and parking positions have nothing to do with todays real airport. What i would like to have is an addon which keeps every international airport up to date in terms of runways…

Hi, Does P3D v4 have by default a real-world weather option as in FSX? Thanks, Christos

Hi Did bye Narvik&Stockholm airports for P3D v3, a short time before v4 release. When could dos be ready for V4? thx nils

Hi buyd this to airports for V3 when could doeS be ready ?? thx Nils

At a .40 view, the TFDI b717 panel is awfully hard to read. I could zoom, but then I lose the panel view. Can someone point me to some sim's or Nvidia settings that either contribute to this or prevent it? I am not using NV inspector, just the control panel. I am still using p3d 3.4. tony

Hello ! I have a problem with ALABEO. This is his patch for Prepar3D v4 concerning the CARDINAL II FSX / P3D. Every time I download the patch I say I come across a P3D v2 installer in 32 bit. Although I explained the problem by private mail, no understanding appeared on their part. On the Pilote Virtuel Forum several people have had the same problem, and it seems that they have been satisfied by Alabeo. It has been since the month of June that this incomprehension lags behind! I do not know how to make ALABEO understand the error! I saw on the Pilote Virtuel Forum that a user via the site Flight Sim Store had received the correct patch for Prepar3D v4. Co…

I am about to get a new PC. Unfortunately I was only able to afford a 250gb ssd for the sim and my system. I plan to use a 2tb HDD and a 1 tb hdd (Both cannibalized from my old build). Would there be a way to move all of the P3D Libraries which are by default located in c/users/documents to a separate harddrive? I read this article, but I am not sure of what issues it could bring: The Ken Kaniff Show

Hi everyone. I bought Preper3D v4 yesterday. I did the setup then i opened the p3d. The first everything was normal but when i change the camera p3d was down. Before the change camera 120fps but after the change camera 4 fps, and at the same time when i change the camera, the sound is interrupted. Also I fly to an airport nearby in virtual cocpit view about 120fps, when i was landing again 4fps. Whats the problem? Thank you...

Now that the developer no longer supports Win7 is there an alternative to replace RealTraffic and PSXseeconTraffic? Regards

Hi guys, I noticed that there were a few people here waiting for P3D v4 installers for airports such as L35 Big Bear City Airport and 2O3 Angwin Pattett-Field so I just wanted to give you a heads up that we just updated all of our products to support P3D v4 along with a load of new features for all simulator platforms. Here's the update: https://www.turbulentdesigns.co.uk/updated-p3d-v4-installers-2o3-l35-kmbs-turbulent-terminal/ Thanks, Russ

I know X-Plane 11 uses real world mapping for it's default scenery , roads , rivers etc.and am wondering of Prepar3D does the same. Also , does Prepar3D coverage incude the world or just select parts. Kind of curious. Txs

Hello @ll, not sure if this is the right place or if this has been addressed already: Here is a quick way how to get MT6 into P3D V4, assuming that you have installed MyTraffic into its default location "C:\MyTraffic Professional\MyTraffic" 1. Create a folder: "\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons\MyTraffic6" 2. In that folder you create an "add-on.xml" file like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <SimBase.Document Type="AddOnXml" version="4,0" id="add-on"> <AddOn.Name>MyTraffic6</AddOn.Name> <AddOn.Description>MyTraffic6</AddOn.Description> <AddOn.Component> <Category>SimObjects</Category> &lt…

FS2Crew for NGX Reboot for P3D v4 is available on the FS2Crew website. The usual 5 Euro discount for existing owners but it does include Global FO Voice set. Richard

When weather and/or flight conditions may provoque icing, I use to turn my carb heat on. In real life this action move the needle of my carburetor temp gauge to the right. In Prepard3D this action didn't really work, carb head temperature stays stable. My question : is there anyway to improve the carb heat efficiency in the airplane parameters air file or aircraft.cfg ? Thanks to the master mechanicians

Hello everybody. I use the Prepar3dV4, but today when i start the flight, the VC night 777 PMDG like this. With the resolution blurred, you can not read very well. My configurations are at their maximum practically and I do not know how to solve this. Can you improve? https://ibb.co/bRx0fQ

Hi Guys, Since v4, I lost the content of my kneeboard... I bring up my kneeboard via the shortkey, kneeboard is there, but no information, nothing and whatever the plane I fly with. Did you notice ? Have a good flight!

Wondered if the Aerosoft buses are working in v4 yet?

Hello I am using PFPX version 1.28 (most current I believe). I have no problem exporting PFPX to either P3D v3.4 or P3D v4 PMDG\777 or NGX. PMDG 747 flight plans path is not implemented yet. The problem I have is exporting the simulator flight plan.pln to C:\ User\.....\Documents\P3D v3.4 files or P3D v4 files I get error: Cannot write to C:\Users\....\documents\ Prepar3d 3 files of Prep3d v4 files. I have full Administrative rights to both folders and Documents folder as well. The problem I need these *pln. to load flight from within the simulator and more importantly to run Active sky in both versions. I am curiou…

Is there a way to add static aircraft to v4 at airports? I fly online and hate flying into empty airports. I know AI is tough when online because it interferes with atc. Some payware has static as an option but I wasn't sure if there is something to add static aircraft across the board.

Has anyone tried this yet in v4?
