Can anyone tell me if the fsdreamream o'hare design has the current runway layout or is it still the old layout?

AVSIM does not currently host image posting via the attachment system so you will have to link your image from a 3rd party hosting provider such as Photobucket, ImageShack, Google, OneDrive, Imgur, or, the one I use FS Files.org - http://fsfiles.org/flightsimshotsv2/. Most services provide 5GB's or more of free space to upload your images. Once you upload your image to a hosting provider, the image should have a box in one of the corners that you can check. Once checked, you should be given the option to "get an embed code". Click on that and it will offer HTML embed codes or BBCodes embed codes. AVSIM uses the BBCode system so click on the "BBCode embed' and a li…

Hi all, I recently switched to P3D from FSX. However I have a considerable issue with the quality of PMDG virtual cockpit in P3D compared to FSX. I am using a 4K monitor (3.840 x 2.160). Below I tried to give an example what I mean with a picture. In FSX the appearance of VC was crystal clear, much much more sharper and with no blurriness. But in P3D the appearance looks like as if I run an on board Graphic Cards. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Hakan

Hi all, I have just succesfully built my new PC and want to install P3D as i am making the change from FSX to P3D... I was wondering is installing P3D as easy as downloading an exe from the website and when running the exe set the install location to the SSD, or do i have to do any other technical magical stuff to get it to work. ( Windows Is installed on the SSD ) Regards Conrad Collinson

Hi all, I'm now a P3D guy. Glad I switched. I can run it smoothly at such ridiculously high settings I'm OOMing the crap out of it! hehe... Anyway, just wanted to say hi. Andre

Works in P3D v3 too! http://www.flight1.com/view.asp?page=skycatcher

Hi. For two days, my aitraffic disappears after taking off, at about 10,000 feet. Before, when loading the stage, many planes appeared in the sky, (i saw them on fstramp screen...) and now, there are only one or two, and these disappear at that height. There are only planes at the airport. It is as if something didnt letthem fly above 10.000. Can someone help me !! ???

i just installed the OrbX open LC North America, i've been having trouble with it. Its not loading all the way and the area around the airports look really messed up and blocky. At LAX, half of the airport was in the ocean. http://imgur.com/be2YDgl http://imgur.com/cHBshvm , i would really love to fix this.

I noticed this was an issue from a few threads back in the FSX and earlier versions of P3D days, but I don't see it being talked about much anymore. Does anyone still have an issue with road traffic causing stutters no matter what setting? It doesn't effect my FPS too much at the low settings but it is the only thing that causes stutters. Otherwise, I'm very smooth. I run a 4k montor at 24hz and lock it at 25 FPS to help with sharper textures at less demanding airports and run unlimited FPS at the bigger airports so I can maintain 24 FPS. I never have an issue maintaining smoothness at 24 FPS because I'll always drop down my settings if I have to. I have a 6600k a 4…

Hello folks, yesterday I realised the TFS DHC-8-100 / -Q200 isn't working at my system. For several month I installed AI Traffic of AIG and Others without problems don't realising the Q200 isn't working. The aircraft.cfg looks good to me, all models are there, all links from aircraft.cfg to models and textures are correct. But there is no Q200 in my flightsimworld at all. Today I tried an other source of the TFS-model in a texture publiced with a texture. This one works. So I put this model in my TFS base model folder. But it didn't work either. Please help me with this. My knowledge is at the end now. For instance Wideroe flies several of t…

Hi there, I have just recently switched from good old FS9 to P3D and am currently in the process of rebuilding sceneries, traffic and so on. After installing the first small airline for testing purposes - Condor Flugdienst GmbH - it turned out that everything appears to worl just fine. Except for one thing: The B757-300w is turning invisible as soon as it activates its' landing lights before take off or when getting below 10.000 feet. There are just the lights visible and the little traffic label (that little text above the plane showing what it is, how far away, etc). When the plane climbs above 10000 it turns visible again. so it clearly has something to do with th…

Finding I have graphics problems on the coast of Western Australia. If I could get this forum to accept photos I could save myself 1000 words. I am using full sliders and have a Nvidia GTX machine.

Hi, I posted earlier in PMDG forum but in case it is not from PMDG, I want to post here to get more help. TLDR version: Did a flight from Tokyo Narita RJAA to San Francisco KSFO yesterday, got OOM, load it again from Pro-ATC/X autosave but keep getting OOM (loaded when at cruise, still get OOM), after the 3rd time I gave up and do another flight today. Took off at 1.3GB and during climb went up to 1.45GB. Now 45 minutes into the flight and available memory going from 1.45GB down to 400MB now as I type (dropping 200MB every 10 minutes). I am using the latest driver from nVidia which never had any trouble with it, I tried other flights with PMDG 777 and FSLabs…

Oh my....I must say I have never had this happen before. I use Webroot AV and have had it for about 6 months which is when I got my new system. Today it ran a scan and detected quite a number of 'W32.Trojan' files in many of my flightsim related programs including P3D itself. I hit the 'fix' button which I now think was a big mistake as it has wiped most of these things off my computer it seems. I was able to open P3D but it immediately crashes once a flight is started. My AS16/ASCA, PMDG ops center, Navigraph, etc, etc appears to now be gone!! I really don't see a way of fixing this other than a full cleanup and reinstall sadly. Has anyone ever come across this ty…

I've been using 3 separate Saitek throttle quadrants for years. I fly a lot of 4 engine piston aircraft, so having the multiple levers for mixture, pitch, and throttle has been nice. However.. since updating to V 3.4, I can no longer have 3 throttle quadrants active. Only 2. I use FSUIPC exclusively, and have the controls disabled within the P3D menu. I've tried everything... switching usb ports, switching quadrants, you name it I've tried it. Its not a faulty quadrant either. The one thats not working will suddenly begin to work if I unplug one of the others. Any ideas?

Want the excellent Flightbeam KSFO but does it ever go on sale?

Hello using: P3D V3, AS16, ASCA, PTA I have this problem that even in CAVOK conditions when I am on ground skies are not blue, but grey. This is becase of haze, as I go above approximately FL150 it becomes more and more blue. This is for any value for UPER MAX Visibility except the 200, but I used to have it set to 105 and it was perfect. It is pretty unrealistic to always have grey skies on ground when descend starts in amazing blue skies, and no clouds on descend. The problem appeared after P3d Reinstall and ASCA purchase. As I was reinstalling I purchased ASCA so not sure what caused it. This pics were taken in CAVOK condidtion airport.

Been flying P3D for almost 2 years now, and never had any real problems, or OOMs or FPS issues with a 3 year old i5 with a GTX 750 Ti card. I started flying a couple of A2A aircraft then the Q400 then the NGX, and A2A Connie, etc. and most of my flying was probably from 6,000 AGL up to FL370. About 6 weeks ago I got hooked on flying helicopters, and I have 3 Milviz copters which I love, the 530F, the 407 and the Huey Redux. What I started to noticed was occasional stutters, which I had never noticed before in P3D. I will be flying along about 2,000 Ft AGL, and FPS seem about normal, and all of a sudden I get a sharp drop in FPS for a couple of seconds. It is almost like …

My frustration level has hit the roof. I'd been flying a lot lately and just realized that I don't get clouds, just very "foggy" areas. The real tip off was a flight I performed from EKCH to UUEE and along the way my Airbus A321 was showing thunderstorms throughout my flight path, but all I would see are the lightning flashes, but no real clouds. I run REX TD w/Soft Clouds and ASN. I think this all has to do with the countless SPs and Hotfixes being pushed out by Hifi and REX, but now I see that no matter what I select for weather (preset in P3D or running ASN), I still get no clouds at all. I sure could use some help, thanks. -Jim

Hi Folks, No - not that kind... So - is there a way using button controls - to stop the brakes from locking up every time they are used ? I have the left and right brakes mapped to buttons and the repeat rate set to the middle - as I've had from the earliest days of MSFS - and they skid on every application exacerbated by the jumbo jet ENVTEX skid textures on my GA planes... Would FSUIPC help me with this ? Thanks... Regards, Scott

Hi I am using p3d v3.4 and in this addons: Orbx FTX global + vector + openLC North America and Europe + FTX trees and FTX England + Ireland + North Germany. Rex 4 PMDG 737,747 V3,777 Aerosoft airbus A318-321 I installed all my sceneries and addons and then tried to fly and I got in PMDG and Aerosoft between 30-55 FPS (In some areas it can be 15-25 FPS, for example in NYC area). All airports in New York for example is about 30 FPS in JFK and Newark and 20 FPS about LaGuardia with PMDG. More to this I have really hard stutters in virtual cockpit and if I try to move inside cockpit it really slow and the picture is like stuck (Everywhere I fly) In add…

Hello, I recently started poking around with the Majestic dash 8..That thing will kick your ego to the can faster than you can say it, but sure is immersive and fun!! Just wondering if anyone's noticed the huge effect wind and turbulence has on the dash 8, Is this normal? I mean it seems over the top to be honest.

..."it's like déjà vu all over again". http://www.aerosoft.com/en/fsxp3d/pre-order/1638/crj-700/900-x?number=AS10195 Many may remember the announcement of its imminent release in September 2015. Anyway, it's now slated for 22nd June 2017.

I saved a situation where I have placed the PMDG 737 at a gate at an airport. If I load this situation from within P3D, all is fine. (running v 3.4.9) If however I want to launch P3D by double clicking on the .fxml file, P3D will start but then disappears from the desktop and I have to use task manager to close it.

Good evening Recently I have bought GSX and I have downloaded the installer. Everything was running fine until I started P3D. I loaded the simulator and either GSX and Couatl were on the "Addons" bar. The problem is when I try to do Shift+Ctrl+F12 to open GSX's menu. It won't open even if I assign other keys. Hope you can help me :) Thanks in advance, Carlos
