The Prepar3d Forum

followed a thread, and it is now released.

Hello...I know it's going to be tough to get this answered with all the buzz about P3Dv4 but I will give it a shot... I just installed the latest update for GSX/addon manager as well as their new KCLT and now, every time I load a flight in the FSLabs A320, I have to wait for it to build Runways.bin. This used to only happen on an install of new scenery. Now, it's every flight. Anyone else seeing this issue? Thanks.

Did you by any chance tried flying in snow conditions in your brand new shiny P3D v4 ? Didn't ? Well don't do it. Don't do it without extra bag of tissues. To wipe away your tears ...tears of joy. And it's nothing like this. My poor poor attempt to present you this new (feel like "updated" is huge understatement) effect. You should see it in the action. All those God's little creations ...floating around ...graciously, weightlessly. Rain look amazing, too. Now there's finally a reason for me to fly in bad conditions. Serving tip: freeze user position, slow down simulation time acceleration, kick off your s…

How do I create a nvidia inspector profile for p3dv4 with v3 installed alongside, would my v3 profile, which I've been using for ever, install into both sims at the same time as there's only one p3d header in NI profile editor. Cheers Rod.

Hi All Something interesting Just loaded P3Dv4 onto my system on its own Hard Disk-running good-only Addons so far .RealAir Turbine Duke V2 and RealAir Lancair Legacy I have P3Dv3.4 on its own hard disk. Now when I start P3Dv3.4 it says "There are multiple objects with the same title name.They must have unique title names. Alabeo Extra 300s White E:\Program Files(86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3Dv3\SimObjects\Airplanes\Alabeo Extra300s P3D" This message repeats for all Alabeo 300s variations,F35 Lightning 2,F22 Raptor,Lockheed C69A,Moone Acclaim and RealAir Turbine Duke v2 Closing the message does not seem to affect P3Dv3.4 performance…

Hello, I will be upgrading from FSX: SE to P3D v4 and I was wondering which texture replacement program I should buy. There is currently a sale going on at simMarket for various products, including REX4 (ENVTEX is unfortunately not included). The sale price for REX4 is €15,85 and ENVTEX costs €21. I've read from reviews that they both do similar things but ENVTEX is better integrated with AS16 and ASCA. So what would you recommend? Going with REX now it's on sale or spend to extra money and go with ENVTEX? Thanks!

Has anyone had any success getting the E170-E195's, or the E145's to work in P3D V4? I fly these planes all the time and it would be a shame to loose them with v4. If they do not work does anyone know if FeelThere plan on updating these aircraft to work in the sim?

Does anyone know if there is any talk of photorealistic scenery being developed or compatible with v4? I keep seeing Ortho4xp and it looks amazing. I hope there is something in the works for v4. Free or payware. I love P3d and use Orbx but sometimes get bored with it because it feels like the same thing over and over. Thanks

I am trying to add some functionality v4 that FSUIPC provided me in v3, and I can't seem to figure out how to add new key assignments. I am currently attempting to add new assignments to the standard.xml file in AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\Controls In particular, I'm trying to add keys to toggle my beacon, taxi, and navigation lights. I'm using the eventIDs from http://www.prepar3d.com/SDKv2/LearningCenter/utilities/variables/event_ids.html For example, I added this in my <Name>KEYBOARD_MAIN.Native</Name> section <Entry> <Key>CTRL+SHIFT+P</Key> <Down>TOGGLE_TAXI_LIGHTS&lt…

Hi Everyone, I had to do a reinstall of P3D v3, and the picture shows how so the American midwest and heartland are covered with all of these brown farms with ORBX FTX +OpenLC North America. This wasn't like that before, everything was nice and green, and this is not a seasonal thing because the textures are the same in spring and summer. I don't remember there being so much brown everywhere, and I'm wondering if it's a problem related to the new installer and updated files. I also don't have any other landclass or mesh products installed, and as far as I know, the order in the scenery library is exactly as it was before. One thing that I thought would be the pro…

Heads up, just saw through A2A's Twitter feed that they have stated they will be providing *FREE* 64 bit updates to all of their airplanes for P3D v4! On release date, May 30th they will have the C172 ready for all previous customers, and the rest of the planes will be released subsequently such as the Cherokee, C182, Comanche, etc. Good times! http://fb.me/8vLdf56Ex

In fsx you have a stars.dat file and a great free program autostarx added realistic stars. I can't find a stars file just a stars effect file. where are the stars located in p3d? Thanks for helping!

Hey guys, I have changed nothing to my P3D V3 install, since installing V4. Now after adding a couple sceneries to V4 FSDT, V3 Will just close to desktop with no warning or error. Not sure why or what to check. Rebooted PC and tried from a clean boot, AV off, default plane. Still closes, scratching my head.

As the title says. I liked to see what's new in various updates and can't find it. For orbx products

Apologies if this has been asked already - I have a question regarding UT Live and the liveries it comes with. Does the new UT Live come with updated liveries or is it all the same ones from UT2? Curious is now that P3d v4 is out, I might want to update to a more modern traffic program. I enjoy MT6 but I missed the strobes working on the UT2 models so ended up switching from MT back to UT towards the end of me using P3D v3. I've been on XP while waiting for v4 but certainly miss all the AI traffic around me. Anyone with UT Live can speak to how good it is and if its worth it? I saw some preview videos on youtube but they didn't say much.

Simple question: Should I limit my fps to 35 (at this setting, my framerate never dips below the set framerate, and the simulator feels smooth as butter), or should I have it set to unlimited to allow jumps in framerate as big as 3 digits?

Hello. Do ypou install ORBX trees in P3DV4? Whats about the speedtrees, when install the ORBX trees? Cheers, Stefan M.

I have uninstalled Prepar3D v3, however the folder still exists and I am trying to delete it and theres a font file in there that keeps saying its currently being in use. I have no idea what is using it, but the font is F14Lantirn.ttf... I have tried booting into safemode to see if I can delete the folder and still a no go, does anyone know how to get rid of this stubborn folder?

Hello! Does someone know if FSTramp is going to be updated for Prepar3dv4? and...also: does someone know how to transform the nav lights of ai planes (they are very big balloons from far) thanks!!!

Hi All, I just released the final: The announcement with a small changelog and all links is here. Direct download for Windows and Screenshots. Prepar3D v4 is supported and you can also run v3 and v4 parallel with separate databases without changing paths. Alex

I just installed FTX stuff and run all on Max, except dynamic reflections in 4K. And I am COMPLETELY blown away! I mean..... look at THIS. https://www2.pic-upload.de/img/33269464/screen.png and it really seems that now all cores are under load! Great great work! https://www2.pic-upload.de/img/33269463/Capture.png

Haven't installed anything other than the base sim - just wondering whether anyone is using the Toposim mesh products and whether all is good, if so.

hey guys I have bought orbx global, orbx vector, orbx newzealand north and south islands and also airports Queenstown, and Milford sound.. and Queenstown has like a wall around the runways like its sunk in the ground. i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling and nothing and Milford sound the ground textures are not looking very good looks like bits are missing not very happy considering the price.. its like all the orbx products dont want to mesh together.. i am not really that experienced with flight sim to make it all work and would of thought orbx would of had a little more support or pointed me in the right direction help would be much appreciated i am running …

Is it possible to copy over your control config file into v4 so we/I don't have to set up all controls assignments again?
