I'm not sure if this is new in V4 or not, but I was playing around with trying to fix my distorted view using multiple screens when I found something that might help. I have three monitors for my main display, covering around 135°. When they stretched the single view window over these three monitors I get significant distortion at the edges where everything seems to be enlarged. This leads to things appearing to be closer than they are in your life, as well as the textures appear unreasonably blurred given how close they seem. I have tried setting up a view group covering the three monitors, and while this solves the problem, it reduces my frame rate from 50-60 …

Can you guys tell me why I have flickering shadows? I am running Prepar3d v3.1 with a 980Ti latest drivers. Nothing has been modified in the Prepar3d.cfg. It seems that the shadows have pretty bad flicker unless zoomed in at 0.50 and beyond. I've already tried reinstalling Prepar3d and Nvidia drivers. I've lowered the graphic settings in Prepar3d as well and the flickers still persist, just at a lower quality. Is this just a V3.1 issue? Graphic settings are at the end of the video. (flickering is worst at the beginning of the video)

Hey everyone, i was wondering if some of you have encountered an issue with water missing when you are flying in certain parts of the world? I was flying over the Atlantic Ocean and in the horizon it seems as though the water is having problems loading or something like that. I also caught a screenshot from the top and cockpit and saw that i am missing some tiles. I do notice that the tiles that are missing kinda disappear and reappear over and over again, so i am not sure what is up with that. It's kind of annoying seeing the water loading in like it is and it takes away from the immersion. I was wondering if any of you have encountered this issue and have a work-around …

Hello there, How is every one? I have an issue with P3D V4 with camera view when I pres "S" and "A" moving faster through the views P3d crash after takeoff!! Any solution for that issue? Please! Windows 7 Prepar3d V4 PMDG 777

Have any of you ever wondered why in all of the ESP simulators no one has ever fixed the actual center of the aircraft in relation to the center of the view? Its a small thing but I have to imagine some of the pro pilots know that we normally do not center the aircraft to the captain side rather in between the two legs. About a bit to the right or left of the pedestal. Is there any way to fix this on my own?

Hello, Is the gtx780ti a card that will run p3d v4 ok? Or should I upgrade any thoughts.

Hi I have been flight simming since 2004 and they were challenging experience for me to learn the different tweaks here and there. I never had the opportunity to set my slider to max setting due to lags and other add-on. A few month ago I was fortunate enough to buy me a new pc let alone P3D 64 bits coming right along unexpectingly. I never thought I could move my slider to max setting and yes there was some stutter but nothing hinder me to enjoy my flight experience. XPL11 doesn't cut it for me, something about it doesn't make me stay there. P3D 64 bits hasn't really begun the full potential what we will see there where XPL11 has been doing it for years. Therefore y…

As title suggests. For v4

Lately I came across quite a few posts where people are mentioning they have set 59Hz refresh rate, instead of 60Hz, and are they claim that helped with eliminating the micro-stutters. I'm curious is there any technical reason that would actually work or is it just another placebo effect we all know and love :)

I plan on getting a charts subscription with Navigraph. The last time I remember they were using LIDO charts from Lufthansa group but I heard they are gonna switch to Jeppesen now and I'm curious if that has happened yet? I prefer Jeppesen charts as its much more coverage and complete. Anyone here a Navigraph Charts member? Could you tell me if you pay the $62/year subscription fee, will you be able to download the complete collection of charts to your tablet, computer using the Navigraph Charts apps? After my subscription is over, I don't think I will renew it. So I want to be able to have access to all my charts from my previous subscription. Would htat be possible…

Since FSX I have been using a great schedule and AI pack from AVSIM to complete my UT2 traffic with the addition of FDX and UPS cargo ops. I recently got them back into V4 but as we have seen already certain models liek the A330 and MD11, 777, do not render or draw correctly in V4. Does anyone know of where to get v4 compliant models? Really miss all the cargo ai at KMEM for example. Thanks everyone.

I first want to say thanks to @Poppet for the great walk through for getting My Traffic 6 running in Prepar3D v4. I installed MY Traffic 6 this afternoon and loaded up KCLT to see how the models for the AI aircraft handle the dynamic lighting. Not terribly to my surprise, it was a mixed bag. The PMDG 777 looks great. The missing wing textures and pre-lit fuselage textures, not so much.

I did not see any topic about this but the SCE was updated a week ago - https://sourceforge.net/projects/fs-sceditor/ Apologize if this has already been announced.

Hey guys and gals, I'm fairly new to the scene but have been flying all year so far in X-Plane 11. I also picked up P3D v3 when I got X-Plane and haven't spent a lot of time with it but recently got a few birds I want to fly since they're not available in XP. So I've given P3D a few goes but what has driven me NUTS is that instead of restarting the current scenario, P3D in its infinite wisdom reloads the default scenario. Every. Damn. Time. So much so that I've rage quite each time lol! I could turn off the crashes and such but I want to fly as "real" as possible and I could save the current scenario and set it as default, but do I really have to do that every…

Are there any flight progress maps which represent real airline maps that are usually displayed in the back of the seats for the passengers? There was a little add-on from FeelThere at some point but it looks fake and old.

I haven't bought v4 yet, but will in a few more weeks when things settle out a bit. But my observation at this point, as a consumer, is that it is unacceptable that the recommended installation process for addons should be in such a mess. Customers should not have to read through numerous posts on Avsim and other forums to know what they need to do to install their addons. And even then not be sure they are doing the right thing (there are always several posts that have alternate views of what to do.) I think that LM needs to get this in hand and set up installation protocols that automatically install the addons where they should be.

Now P3D v4 has its own native SSAA implementation, which is great. However, I heard someone mention the one applied with Nvidia Inspector / Profile Inspector was more performance friendly for them, with the same visual result. Has any of you guys done any comparisons? :)

You can now use Full Dynamics I had to delete the config file in %Appdata% hifi\ACA to get the update to apply correctly

Hey guys My PC, on which I use Prepar3D v3, has the following Specs: i7 4790K (OC: 4.6 GHz) 4x8 GB RAM (DDR3 / 2400 MHz) MSI GTX 970 (GDDR5 4GB) 256 GB SSD Samsung 840 Pro (Windows) 1 TB SSD Samsung 850 EVO (Data + P3D) I'm currently getting a good Performance out of it, but I have most of the sliders in the Lower to Medium Section, due to the beloved VAS Limit. This finally changes with v4 as we all know. I'm currently holding off on v4, until all my core addons are fully compatible In the meantime, I wanted to identify the Parts of my Setup, which I could improve to get a superb Experience with v4. From my Point of View the Processor + RAM sh…

Hey guys, What is everyone using to get the most realistic environment in p3dv4? I have tried them all, mix matched, adjusted monitor settings, display settings, different presets, u name it. I just can't seem to find a good balance between day and night. Thoughts?

The GPU-Z shots are slightly staggered in time but there is 1 for each EVGA GTX 1070 SC (Best Buy Version). As you can see there is respectable performance and distribution of load. At the bottom of the 2nd graph you can see the SLI mix At full 4k the core clocks jump to over 2200mhz and the fans kick in. Cheers bs

Is it mesh or what exatly is it. I have FTX Global, HD Trees..and also Ultimaterrain x for p3dv4. I use all of that and the TEP vegetation textures from the lady in France lol. What would I expect to see and what area does it cover. I primarily fly east of the Mississippi.. Not sure if this is more for the Northwest, Canada, Alaska area. Thanks for any guidance. Awesome products, Bob M.

I have tried googling to see what prepar3d.cfg changes apply to version 4. So far I haven’t found anything? I remember seeing somewhere in a thread on this forum which talked about this. P3D published changes applicable to version 3. Do these changes apply to v4? Are there any other changes which apply to V4?

As the title states, is there any news/info about Prepar3d v4 and Native VR improvement?
