A Guide to Locate your Shaders folder in Prepar3D v2 & v3 & v4 Your Shaders folder is located at the path below Local Disk (C:) ► Users ► You ► AppData ► Local ► Lockheed Martin ► Prepar3D ► Shaders To locate this folder, Insure the box is Ticked for Show hidden files, folders and drives in File Explorer Options Your Shaders folder (Graphical code) is a Generated folder, Meaning if you delete this folder it will Generate again when you Launch Prepar3D. The next time you launch Prepar3D the Shaders can take anything from 10 seconds to 2 \ 3 minutes to Generate again It is Recommended but no…

Have a brand new computer and have installed P3D V3.4, latest. Have a registered version of FSUIPC installed. Trying to install Vpilot, but keep getting an error message saying I do not have simconnect version 10.0.61259.0 installed. I do have version 10.0.61355.0 installed, but it wants the other one. I can not figure out where to get this and how to install it. Can someone help? Thanks. Howard

Just bought Orbx LOWI and then tried to run Global Vector Airport Elevation Corrections but I get an error message and it won't run. The error is "Unhandled exception has occurred in your application..... " then "Cannot create file when that file already exists". I click continue but it won't run. Help!

Hi, There has been much discussion about Prepar3D and how it runs optimally on 4 Cores with Hyperthreading ON. I have an 8 Core CPU and this has not been my experience. Hitherto, my assertions have been subjective in terms of observed fluidity of performance and smoothness of on-screen frame updating and not supported by actual data. Hopefully this is now about to change :smile: Application: Prepar3D v3.1 Addon: My Traffic Pro 6.0a Front End: Ideal Flight 10 Professional (Preview) Utilities: Air Traffic Manager, Process Lasso Pro (Allows easy changes to CPU Affinity Mask) Hardware: See signature below Display Resolution: 2560x1440x32 Graphics Drivers: GeForc…

Sounds promising. (didn't really want a toothy grin a 'Smiley ordinaire' would have sufficed)

How far away are we from this scenery in P3D? Will P3D V4 be just an upgrade to 64 bit or will there be scenery enhancements?

Hello all, I am having issues with slow loading/blurry scenery textures in Prepar3D V3.4. I have a powerful system and never used to have these issues when I first got it back in December. I read on the P3D Facebook group that sometimes uninstalling and re-installing all of my ORBX scenery might rectify the issue. I was just wanting to ask advice on here before I did this. Would I just uninstall via FTX Central 3? I should note I have no tweaks in my Prepar3D config file. Thanks for your time and Happy Easter. Jonathan

Hello everyone, my friend has a little problem. And as I have more skill in the IT, I have decided to ask here on his behalf. He has installed Windows 10 Anniversary Update, and after the update, everything was working perfectly. But after a day, his Prepar3D is suddenly stuck on the Splashscreen. When I check the Task Manager, Prepar3D process is stuck and not doing anything. It is not using computer in any significant degree. I have tried to delete Prepar3D.cfg, and also to uninstall the client and install it again. His version of Prepar3D was 3.2 and now we have updated to 3.3. We have the same result. Event Viewer is not showing any error, and I have n…

Hi guys, I am having troubles with P3D 3.4 stutters (apparently I am not alone here) though the stutters I am experiencing are a bit strange at least to my opinion. I recorded a short video that you can hopefully see the issue. It happens randomly between certain amount of time, let's say 15-30 seconds intervals, it also happens often if I touch a knob or something else in the cockpit. The sim literally locks for a millisecond and continues normally until the next micro-stutter. Here is my PC specs: CPU: Intel I7-7700K (Kaby Lake) OC'd to 4.6 Ghz Mobo: Asus Strix 270F Gaming GPU: Asus Strix Advanced GTX 1080 8GB RAM: 32GB Corsair Vengeance 32…

So I just bought ORBX Stockholm Arlanda and it all looks good except for the fact that the Terminal Buildings just don't exist. They are just black splodges with no Jetways or anything. I've updated my ORBX libraries manually which fixed it for someone else who made a post but no luck for me. Can anyone help?

Hello, I have been flying simulator for almost 20 years and I never keep track any of it, which I really regret. Is there a software out there that can help me do it? I'm thinking of doing Excel file for this. Just log like in the real world log book, date/time, type aircraft, departure/destination,time/distance, day/night landing... Thank you, Hoang Le

Helle all. Can anyone help me troubleshoot why my overall sky and land colors are so muted? I seem to think it's a texture issue but not sure exactly how to begin fixing it. I'm using As2016 and cloud art but no matter which theme I use, even in the most perfect weather conditions, the sky is almost gray. But it cannot be an AS issue as even the land greenery leans towards brownish. If I wanted to install the default textures in P3D, which module would I use? Hopefully I can start from there?

Anyone own the just flight Corsair that will offer their opinion on this aircraft? Really good sale on it.

So I have a big problem that has not gone away no matter what I try. I have major stutters which is ruining my experience. These are stutters that seem to "shake" the whole screen, that's how bad they are. It doesn't happen all the time and not always in the same place. I have tried moving all my sliders to the left, uninstalled my ai, uninstalled active sky, orbx, envtek, and various add on airports and I still get the stutters. I'm actually not sure as I can classify them as stutters because they are much much more than that. I would love to find a way to record a video of it to post here but I am not sure if that is possible or if I can do it. There is a way …

Is there any island scenery that is as good as or close to Orbx Pago Pago? I tried he demo of Honolulu Int. from FSDT and found it was FS9 quality. I guess I am spoiled by Pago Pago.

Hii folks, I recently changed something in my texture map. When I open my P3D now I get water next to the runway instead of grass... Can someone help me?? Thanks! kind regards

Looks good! https://www.facebook.com/Navigraph

Hello, ORBX just released their newest product, San Diego city and airport. Has anybody tried it yet? I am very curious about the VAS and performance. I fly in and out of San Diego a lot with FSLabs A320x and PMDG 737 Source:http://www.orbxsystems.com/forum/topic/132541-ksan-san-diego-international-released/ Cheers, Hoang Le

Hi guys, I am expecting some issues with my p3d v3.4, I have some blurries and also I have this: https://i.gyazo.com/5a5b4cfb65718f329e4dca879e16cfc3.mp4 sea water on textures... I tried all that I saw in this forum and others but I cannot solve it. My system: -W10 pro 64 Bits. - Gigabyte GA-Z170X - i7 6700K - Geforce GTX 960 4GB - 16GB RAM - 240 GB SSD - 1TB HDD Could you bring me your amazing help guys? Thanks in advanced,

Are there any AI programs out there that only populate the AI at the gates or on the ground that doesn't have an impact on performance? I see a lot of folks in X-Plane and on P3D that fly online (like myself) but also land at populated airports. It would be nice to land and airports that aren't ghost towns. However, all of the AI traffic applications that I have seen actually have the AI planes flying and therefore would interfere with performance and with my flight plan/ATC. I have one airport (KPSP) from Orbx that comes with static aircraft but that is the only one I have seen. Thoughts?

Dear All, First, even though the topic seems familiar and again seems to be as a duplication, actually it is not. I have spent serious amount of time to searching all the web but I did not encountered such kind of content. If there is, sorry in advance.. Briefly, I am using P3Dv3.4.2 on a networked (2) computers. I do not remember exactly at what stage I have lost the connection between 2 computers but I realized it after having installed Ezdokv2. When I dig into it on the web, I saw that Ezdok might be the reason. I followed the instructions ( I deleted Ezdok lines from exe.xml). but it did not work. Then I uninstalled Ezdok completely but still not working (wi…

Hey guys , I am flying the 737 ngx from pmdg. But the Autopilot wont hold the magenta line during cruise and even gets me to bank angle. I am using P3D ASCA AS16 and Ezdok , I am flying on ivao and have there weather engine disabled..... Anyone got an idea? Even sometimes if i take the plane manually i cant really control it because it does what it wants. Really aprecciate some help. Lucas

Hello everyone! I have been flying on p3d for the past 2 years but after i installed my ORBX LOWI scenery my ground scenery stops loading whenever i fly to LOWI or depart from LOWI. Everything get's really blurry in the air but on the ground everythings runs perfectly. I have an i7-6700k and an Asus strix GTX1060. I managed to run my P3D with 60FPS and it still is running so i don't think it depends on my system specs. So i think it is because i'm flying close to mountains or something.
