I installed the Realair Duke B60 (not the Turbo) into P3Dv4 folder and it seems to work fine.. Kind of.. I have not done a thorough test or anything.,. but it seems to fly and whatever I can see it looks good. I am thrilled.. I thought I lost this forever!

This is the issue what I am having in p3d v4. I have ORBX installed. This is La Guardia for example. The problem is the terrain elevation and water transition, it seems the water is drawn too far "onto" the terrain. Any ways to fix this issue. This is only an example, I saw this at various places in the sim. Thanks.

There is already a thread about add-on compatibility, but looking at my extensive spreadsheet of add-on's there are some treasured add-on's that may never be compatible, mostly because the developer has closed. Some have already been mentioned, but to keep a complete list in one place they are here too. Dodo-sim Bell 206 - aptly named though Dodo-sim are I think hibernating rather than dead - the most dynamically accurately helicopter in FSX/P3D. Earth Simulations - ESI definitely gone, the best combined photo-scenery / autogen - far better than ORBX on a small scale but the autogen conflicts with ORBX. Real Air - also gone, some of the best GA sing…

Does anyone know if it is possible to asign a keystroke (eg CTRL Z) for a generic purpose in P3D if you do not have FSUIPC. I use CTRL Z as a autohotkey script to bring Little Nav Map to the fore when I am flying. Thanks John

hi guys,, i was wondering if anyone can really help me since i have been straggling with my pc and keep on upgrading till i have got this: CPU Core i7700K @4.20GHz RAM: 32.0 GB system windows 10 64bit GPU: MSI 1080ti Gaming using Prepare3d v3 Addons: PMDG 737 and 777 GSX FTX central 2 Active sky next Rex texture with soft clouds rex HD airport pro- atc x i was wondering how can i know my maximum performance and quality with this setup with gaining much FPS and minimum lags or crash. and if anyone can help me with available setting. i haven't use any overclocks to CPU …

Now that the 717 is out for v4, just curious as to people's thoughts on it? I read some reviews of it from its release, and some things were lacking. However, I've been reading that they greatly improved on it since then? As someone who flies study level airliners (PMDG, FSL, Majestic), would I enjoy this? Most important things for me are system modeling and depth. Thanks!

Does anyone know if rex essentials+ interferes with FTX regions and airports and FTX global? And does it make anything better than the ftx scenery, or does it seem the same as the ftx scenery? Thanks

In the words of Kim Kardashian, "I am...disgusted." Yes, I am. By this: https://prntscr.com/fosx9a As you can see the antiaisling looks horrid. I need some assitance. These are me settings in me NVIdia inspector: https://prnt.sc/fosyju https://prnt.sc/fosyq7 And below is me settings in P3D: https://prnt.sc/fosz22 Thank ye to all who answers!

Hello all Not too sure if this is just me, but I am having real problems using the Flight1 e-commerce system to obtain the 50% discount on the iFly 737NG P3DV4 upgrade. Every time that I attempt to validate my previous FSX purchase after providing details of the discount certificate and original FSX order number, I'm faced with: I know that the problem has nothing to do with my login details as I'm logged in whilst attempting the upgrade at the page where my original FSX order number is being displayed. Just wondering if anyone else is having or has had the same problem with the Flight1 system ? Regards Gary

I think I remember I came across some settings whereas the P3D window opened with the bottom taskbar visible and fixed there but still it was a full screen mode. I can't find it in Prepar3D.cfg nor in SIMstarter. Is it possilbe at all? Thanks,

In the past few days Ive started doing a few repaints as Im finding V4 bland or just too lazy to find what im after Plus working on a request for a 3rd party addon that still in development

It was all working perfectly fine, and I was going to try and go for a long haul flight so I woke up nice and early and next thing you know, on the loading screen it stops responding. Then I get into the sim and at 13% of initialization for the PMDG 747 v3 it crashes. I try again and it crashes, and I restart my computer and it crashes, I delete everything that has FS9 in the name within all of my P3D directories and it still crashes. I don't get how it works perfectly fine yesterday and after doing nothing it happens to stop working entirely basically. I was finally able to get in and even change my panel state, then I go into slew mode to get to the right gate and then …

After installing KSFODH trial, I starting having problems, likely not related to the install but its the last one I did do. Couat will not initiate, so I cannot use the scenery for KDEN and the rest. I did uninstall addon manager and delete its residue but still no coutl. I repaired P3DV4 many times, and reinstalled it to a fresh folder too

Hi all, as the heading suggests, it's a topic that has been discussed a million times in the forums but I can find anything conclusive on what I am looking for: GA lighting. Most of the topics deal with the PMDGs lighting or not lighting the surface, with dynamic on or off, with hdr on or off etc. My problem is all my GA aircraft (all with v4 installers, A2A, Alabeo etc) simply do not light ANYTHING. I cannot see at all from the cockpit. I tried turning lighting setting on/off/up/down but nothing helps (short of turning brightness setting to un-natural levels). So, to your knowledge, is there any setting that can help the lighting on GA aircraft if they ar…

I've been noticing this for the longest time and I could even pinpoint as to seeing this even prior to P3D v4. I am runing My Traffic Pro 6a, and when I watch the planes take off, they all take off and then do this weird arch. It looks weird. I'm trying to fix this issue by seeing where the problem lies, whether it be in MT6 or the default AI. But I have disabled MT6 altogether and still see the planes take off in this weird behavior. Can anyone else report the same?

I hope LM will consider adding, for example, on Option - Application \ Traffic the possibility of varying the speed of the AI aircraft on the taxiways and for evacuation of the runway, after landing. If you're not n.1 on taxiway and if the runway is also used for landing, taxiyway travel times and waiting for takeoff is long while if you're on landing, often the tower orders you go-around due to the slow evacuation of the runway by the plane landed.

Well, perhaps upcoming. See this interesting post from Jim Goldman of the former FSD company over at SoH: He's giving away their source models and looking for developers to help make a community freeware release of high quality. Maybe someone from here could help? http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforums/showthread.php/106329-Lockheed-Jetstar-II

Does anyone know? I see they now have the 60 dollar bundle with turbo and non turbo

A heads up that with the release of the p3dv4 hotfix, Pollypot Software has release a new version of the excellent Goflight Interface Tool that is P3Dv4 compatible.

Wondering if the developers of this great aircraft that upgraded it for use in P3D v3 recently, will upgrade it for the 64 version. Having flown it for so many years it would be a shame to lose it for good.

Hi folks: Seems to me that something should be happening with the current installations of the new P3Dv4. I'm reading here on the forums about too many sim crashes from users everywhere. Considering also the recent recommendations from PMDG's CEO Rob Randazzo, it could be possible that most of the addons, supposedly compatible with P3Dv4, are not reallly conforming to the LM's new SDK and are not rendering the sim stable?. In my case. I'm still enjoying P3Dv3.4 very much, both with the existing variety of addons available and with the perfect stability of the sim. I've decided myself to postpone a bit the installation of P3Dv4 until I see more addons available (…

It looks like traffic was optimized quite a bit and road traffic doesn't cause any performance hit on my system. AI still seems to cost me some FPS though. What are the others that still cause the most FPS hit? I've been toying around trying to find a sweet spot for V4 and I'm still working on it. Dynamic reflections I assume are still a big one.

Hi, As this might be odd I stopped enjoying P3D V4 on my system. I am very unhappy of the performance I get with all the addons I've installed. I spent many hours in tweaking, testing and flying and trying to have fun. At some moments I had fun, but it quickly came down to one big bummer. Scenery addons: As soon I installed all the scenery addons I could get "supported" in my P3D V4, the problems became more and more apparent. The most apparent problem are the lag/stutter graces. It seems I have loaded up an extensive amount of payware scenery that for some reason ravage my CPU performance, I suspect. At times I get even 100% CPU load. This caues stutters a…

Hi I have just installed a new additional 500gb SSD (F:) and have installed P3D v4 on to it. I already have FSX as well as my operating system installed on my C drive 250gb SSD with all my addons for FSX. I have run out of space on the c drive hence the new SSD and upgrade to P3D. When I load up FTX central, it gives me the option of which simulator I wish to use. I have started to install my ORBX sceneries to P3D on the new drive but ORBX appears to be installing them on the C drive which have very little space left. The installation works fine otherwise. Can anybody help me to direct ORBX to install on the new drive which P3D is on? Many thanks Phil

I installed FSXWX on P3D v4 and everything worked fine but from yesterday only detects METARs EDDF apt while reporting "Not found" for other apt EUs such as EGLL, LFPG, LIRF, LEMD or Japan RJTT while detecting US apts METARs. Is there anyone else who has detected this inconvenience? Thank's.
