Hey! Would like to ask if you also have these white lines around the water at night. (During the day all good) Never paid attention to that but today started to notice. You may need to turn your screen brightness up to see them. Thanks in advance! P3D v5.3, all ORBX products installed, the same water lines everywhere in the world, EA off (with ON the same) https://prnt.sc/0brKqtg57gc_

What’s the consensus regarding this airport from these two devs? I am running P3D v5. Are they pretty much leveled or one stands out (better) than the other.

I have recently had the problem of the sim crashing to restart. I can run the desktop all day on the internet if I want to. As soon as I fire up P3Dv5, pick an airport, have an airplane, the PC crashes and restarts after about 3-5 mins. Confused, I am. Anybody have any ideas gratefully received. John

The subject line pretty much says it all. From what I can see, I can only assign all sounds (engines, cockpit, environment) together. What I'd like to do is just have the engines only played over the external speakers while all other sounds are played through my headset.

Greetings all since I bought me a new monitor (32" WQHD Curved Gaming Monitor Odyssey G7) I'm having a weird problem with my airport ground lights, they all have a upward shining beam, it depends from which angle you look at them. I did not have the problem with my older monitor which was a full HD. I have it during daytime and nighttime. I am using AI lights Reborn, maybe this has something to do with it altough it is for AI aircraft but maybe it messed up my ground lights also. Ther is a function to revert back to the original lights but this has no effect on the ground lights. Does someone else experienced this problem and is there a solution. Thank…

I am running PSD v5.3 with ORBX, PMDG, Majestic DASH 8 and a few Carenado planes and weather. HD is 475gb with 92gb free. Disk full warning pops up but not all the time. I have a second drive 475 gb. Can I uninstall any addons and re-locate them to the second drive, and if so, will this cause issues?

I cannot sign-in into Navigraph IOS app via iPad. Desktop version is fine. Anyone has had problems with that as well?

Very often in mountaineous regions I see clusters of large generic buildings. That's completely wrong. I'd rather expect chalets or farm buildings. Large Hotels far of any roads are pretty uncommon in the real world and if they really are there, they were certainly only one instead of 10 to 20. I use ORBX Global and Europe LC products. Can I change the type of houses used? If not, how to get rid of it completely? Not the whole generic buildings, only these clusters of large buildings in remote areas. I like the other autogen in villages and cities. But as one can see here, the are in the forest. Do you also have these here N45° 47.50' E7° 34.17…

Greetings all, I ordered a new gaming desktop that arrived last week and installed P3Dv5.3. On my old machine I had been running v4.5 with all the Orbx Global and LC's. I installed them via Orbx Central on the new desktop, but when I launch the sim, the Orbx products do not seem to be loaded - the ground textures appear to be stock P3Dv5.3...and therefore, ugly. I've gone into Orbx Central and verified all the installations, but that seems not to make any difference. When I installed Global/LC, I installed them into the root folder of the sim as was recommended by the Orbx installer, in other words, did not do the library install except for one or two which…

Is there a BN2B Islander that will work in P3DV5.3 for sale anywhere? Jim

Lately, upon application startup, P3D tells me that the WidevieW registration key is corrupted or missing and that P3D will search for the vendor for a solution. It then goes into an infinite loop and never finishes starting. The only work around I have is to uninstall WidevieW so P3D doesn’t get into this situation. Of course, I need WidevieW to support my 6 outside view monitors. And of course, my copy of WidevieW is legal (I have a key and I download it directly from the vendor’s website). I’ve used WidevieW for a number of years with no issue, so I have no idea what’s causing the P3D/WidevieW combination to start acting up. Help, please! Thank you! …

Short version: Hello everyone. Is it there an utility similar to the Flight1 FS9/FSX Registry Repair tool (available at https://www.flight1.com/view.asp?page=library), but for P3Dv5? Long version: Somehow my Windows 10 started acting up, until I wasn't able to boot anymore. I had to reformat my C:\ drive (the 256 GB SSD from my specs). Before reformating, I was able to save a copy of the AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin folder (and also MSFS too). Both P3D and MSFS are safely installed in another drive, D:\, a 1 TB SSD. As soon as I reinstalled Steam, I was able to point it to my MSFS installation (at D:\Steam) and it worked. I could even see that my setting…

Does anyone else have download errors with Imaginesim? Trying to download WSSS on my 60mb/s connection is taking forever and then I get a 'Network Failed' message. So frustrating. Everything else downloading fine. I've tried four times and get an error every single time.

I'm looking to find, or find out how to make, a trim tab panel. Just an accessory popup 2D view that shows all three trim tabs. It does not need to be fancy nor interactive, just something, either analog or digital, that displays the current tab position/degree.

I flew into Sacramento today and there were about 50 vertical poles with red lights on them. What's with this? I've seen the poles at other airports too. Isn't there a way to remove them from P3dv5? I researched it but cannot find a link to removing these obvious anomalies. Your help is much appreciated. Stan

Hello, I believed that I once read that there is a way to backup all your AIGAIM-OCI folders if one wants to re-install P3D. I have been unable to find the post by @Kaiii3 that explains how to get it done. Does anyone here remembers or can point me to where to find that info. I am in the process of un installing P3D and want to backup all my AIG files that way I don't have to download all the flightplans again. Thanks.

Hello guys, Today I have made the decision to remove P3D from my HDD. Nothing can beat the raw-power and beauty of MSFS and now that high-fidelity addons are here from PMDG, FENIX etc: I have not touched P3D in over six months. In order to free up my HDD for much anticipated addons for MSFS it now makes sense for me to wipe P3D. However before doing so, I would like to ask for the support of the P3D forum members on what is the best way to remove or uninstall P3D. Additionally, after doing so should anything else be touched in the registry in order to remove any lingering aspects of P3D. Thanks for your support! Note to Moderators: Please do n…

Greetings all! I've been beating my head against my desk this evening trying to get TOGA EnvShade to work with P3D5.3. I have downloaded and installed all the necessary files - including the TOGA ENVTEX P3DV5 expansion. When I attempt to install the shaders, I get a message to the effect that I need to update/upgrade my product with the v5 version (which I already have). Also, when I exit P3Dv5.3, I get error messages regarding shaders. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the TOGA products mentioned, but that has no effect. I restored the original P3d shaders, so I no longer get that error message upon closing the sim. However, I'd really like to get the TOGA pro…

I have been surprised when flying some GPS approaches to discover they have no vertical guidance in the simulator. The published approach seems to indicate LNAV capability, but no vertical is displayed in the sim during the approach. My question is if there is if some way to determine if VNAV capability exists for the anticipated approach at the sim airport during preflight planning. (I guess I just don't like surprises during an approach. 😧 ) I am using the RXP GNS 530/430 in P3Dv5. Thanks for any help or suggestions. Jesse

Initially I thought with 64 bit architecture that the limits to the viable amount of addon scenery you could have may be a thing of the past. It seems to me that I was correct in terms of memory usage but not of some other weird problems. So let me explain I have all my scenery external to the main P3D program - a lot is in the P3DV5 addons folder but most is on an external drive linked via the scenery config. This includes the very large ORBX range. I have had no performance issues with the sim running that is memory lags or jitters so load times are a little longer but not much and when the sim is running it is still smooth and fluid visually (limited to 30 FPS) I have…

Has anyone been successful getting the Simcheck A300 for FSX to work in P3D V4 or V5?

Hello fellow flightsimmers, I was recently flying in the PMDG 747-400 when my vPilot Client disconnected me and said: "You´re flight sim appears to be frozen, you were disconnected from the network". This happened around 7 hours after depature. I can clearly tell that the actual flight sim was still running. Sadly I noticed, that the PMDG 747 was uncontrollable. I even wasn´t able to move the camera via ChasePlane. After restarting ChasePlane I noticed, that it didn´t detect my flight sim anymore. I can´t tell if the bug is P3D or PMDG related. I also expereinced the problem on the PMDG 747-8 and a similar problem on the PMDG 777-200LRF. Did anyone experi…

Hi, After a at least 6 months of great sim experience on P3Dv5.3 and sometimes looking into MSFS i desided to upgrade to NV GPU 522.25 driver. At first everything was great in MSFS but without thinking to deeply i ran into alot of problems in P3D. At first i noticed that my CMOS clock (bios) was lagging and dropping out so i replaced the battery as i recall doing it before. Power surge from the ASUS motherboard also happened alot with alot of total CTD . At first i was suspecting the USB connections (due to suspectfully usb switch prior) but further along the road i was suspecting the O/C default on the EVGA GPU. Maybe lowering this and increase the …

Hi all. Sorry for my English. For PMDG aircraft, the “NO VSPD” flag appears immediately after touching the runway. In real life, it appears at 60-50 kt. And even before touching, Vref disappears. Is this a bug? Thank you.
