Hello all Just installed EZdok 2 for P3DV4 and have noticed that scroll wheel zooming appears to no longer function apart from when setting up views ? Can anyone confirm this and if so, possibly explain the logic behind its removal ? Personally, if this is the case, then I'm very disappointed as I use this function extensively. Any possible workarounds ? Many thanks Gary

Just wanted to ask those who already own P3D v4. Are the lights effects there (i.e. the way lights look when it is a foggy or rainy weather, the effects like Shockvawe 3D lights have been giving to FSX) look realistic, better than in default FSX? Do they look the same as FSX with Shockvawe Redux? Or we still need to wait till some addon like Shockvawe is released? I do not meen here the way lights actually LIGHT ground and objects, this feature is available inP3D v.4..

Hey All, I was wondering, what is the easiest (hopefully inexpensive) way to get real world weather into P3Dv4 (like I could in default FSX)? thanks!

Hi, Is it possible to have full screen without the bar on top (with the LM P3D logo)? Thanks, Christos

The P3Dv4 version (64-bit) of the iFly 737NG is now available at the Flight 1 iFly 737NG product page. Best, Jim Harnes

For some transition time, I would like to keep the V3 platform (especially because the IVAO MTL AI aircrafts are not ready yet). Now that more and more "native" SDK V4 compiled sceneries come out, keeping the two platforms would require a double install in order to have the same sceneriy also available in P3D V3. This raises a quesition in regard of "upward compatibility". If you do not use the new V4 features such as dynamic lighting, will there be a problem if you use V4 SDK generated sceneries also in V3? I am wondering whether the grould layerings, runway and taxi markings, and lights such as the PAPI and approach lights will be displayed correctly in V3 e…

Hi folks, I generally assign a joystick button to Top Down View. With P3D v4, it is just impossible. Apart from choosing from the Views menu in the toolbar, there is no way to assign a key for this external view. F6 doesn't work and changing it in the control settings doesn't help. Any bypass? Thanks!

He just said on FB that it is two weeks away, Looks good too. http://drzewiecki-design.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=380

Hi guys, Just updated my p3d v4 after the hot fix came out. I noticed that CP seems not supporting this version and whenever you switch you view, a black flash appears. And the transition seemed stuttery and jerky. Does anyone have the same issue?

Ever since FSDT have released their new "Live Update" system it has been nothing but trouble for me. I personally liked their old addon manager because I never had any problems. I had an issue with P3D so I decided to delete all my sceneries and addons (except aircraft). I reinstalled all of them but FSDT addons, P3D worked great. As soon as I installed GSX, P3D now won't launch. It loads the sceneries then just disappears, without appearing on the event viewer. I have a lot of addons from Flightbeam and FSDT so I'd actually like to use them but this new "Live Update" feature has just been nothing but trouble. Normally, I can run the Live Update and it will fix …

Is there a way to get EZdok working in v4 or is it not ready yet?

Hey guys, I know this can be done, I just can't find where I found how before! I have P3D, FI and a Rift. When I launch P3D, it launches Oculus Home, and if I kill the OH services, then it loads SteamVR! I'm sure there was an ini file tweak that allowed me to turn off that behaviour. Anyone know what it is? Graham

Cannot get FTX Central to open anymore. Been to the support forums but no luck. I really wish Orbx read these post because I, and others with this problem, need a place to direct download new scenery and updates to older scenery bypassing their fancy FTX Central. If they cannot do this then I have lost a ton of money for now useless Orbx products. No real support, just forums where users try to help....wow.

WideView 64 for P3Dv4 has just been released. Still waiting on WideTraffic 64. Fred K

Yup, it's in the pipeline, they just posted a shot on FB and in their forums. http://www.flytampa.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=10144 edit: I had no idea this was originally announced back in April. doh

Hi all, How can I see the version of v4 I have installed? Thanks, Christos

Just a FYI. I installed Super Cub X from FSAddons into the Prepar3D v4 Add-ons directory and added an appropriate add-on.xml file and all works without any changes in P3D 4.0. I like this addon purely because of the variation of models you get.. the flight model is not the best and neither are the VC graphics however it's nice to fly around with tundra tyres or skis. No issues were found, all gauges and sound work as it is a relatively basic aircraft. FYI here is the add-on.xml file contents: <SimBase.Document Type="AddOnXml" version="4,0" id="add-on"> <AddOn.Name>FSAddon Super Cub X</AddOn.Name> <AddOn.Description>FSAddon Aircraft Supe…

Hello everybody, Has anybody tried the P3D v2 lights patch from Simmershome.de? (http://simmershome.de/temporary-light-fix-fuer-p3d-v2/) It is supposed to fix the lights at Aerosoft airports by overlaying new AFCAD's with default P3D lights. Id anyhbody has tried, what are you experiences? Does the fix work with P3D v2.3? Thanks in advance. Regards,

I want to edit the A and B gates at Flightbeam's KMSP in P3D v4. Currently they are small gates and for some reason, Delta Connection CRJs are not parking there but occupying spots everywhere at the airport, even at T2 where they don't belong. This is due to big amounts of traffic during certain times of the day. By changing the gates to medium gates this can be fixed. Now I don't have any knowledge/experience with ADE or any other development software so I'm looking for someone who knows what they are talking about to provide a little help as to how to open an addon airport and save the changes made. Thanks!

after the v4 hotfix, no interior lights, dome and thunderstorm , is there any suggestion?

Just posted to their forum, should be only a few hours if all goes well: https://hifisimtech.com/forums/showthread.php?8347-Active-Sky-for-P3Dv4-announcement&p=40294#post40294

Just downloaded the new update for P3dv4 and found it now has "developer license" stuck permanently in the upper right hand corner. Why the F did they do this? I really hate crap cluttering up my full screen views and this might be the final straw to stick with Xplane 11.

Hi all, I am new to P3D. Where is the "Client installer" located, which is needed to apply the latest hotfix for v4? Thanks, Christos

Im really having a hard time explaining this. I just reinstalled V4 with the new hotfix after having issues with dynamic lighting and fps. I was able to correct the problem but now I am having an issue with the terrain vibrating? Trembling? It's like it was shaking or vibrating. It's not a stutter of the whole sim but more just the ground. Anyone seen this behavior?
