The Prepar3d Forum

I'm preparing to move from FSX to Prepard3d. I've been reading about HRD Premium TV (true HDR TV). Color is fantastic and resolution is 3840x2160 which my video card (via nVidia control panel, DSR) can render. So, would I significantly benefit from moving from a Dell U2713HM monitor to HDR TV as a Prepard3d monitor? And, would super high resolution be a frame killer? Thanks for the comments? zach

Not sure exactly when this happened but whenever I try to create a flight plan using the P3D planner the save option is greyed out if KRNO is involved. No other airports do this. Ideas? Thanks

I imported the Microsoft FS Cessna 172 and 182, but the cockpit files are very low resolution. Has anybody got an updated high resolution version?

Hi all- I was wondering what the procedure is to replace just the Daedalus AC in UTII. I'm OK with the rest of the AI for now. Cheers, Mark

Hi, I must admit its getting a bit hard and pretty complicated with all those add-ons and since ORBX and Scenery configurator also is not kompatibel makes things even more exciting sometimes. Lately after a Flytampa EHAM install i noticed that i did not have any Amsterdam City with SkyScrabers and football stadions . Also this Autogen folder inside P3D can change over time and after a FTX Central V3 open/close episode. I am wondering if it has something to do with this "Autogen Folder" that i am missing Autogens (Amsterdam Skyscrabers ) ? Any help is appreciated and understanding of what is exactly being changed in that folder over time is more than welco…

Anybody know how to assign the following functions in FSUIPC: Prop synch Nav/GPS switch Thanks in advance!

Hello there! First of all Merry Christmas :smile: I recently Got a new monitor for Christmas and I was testing it out. All was going swimmingly well. After a While of doing Circuits at a stable 35-40FPS in the AS A320 I closed my sim. I then decided to test it again and It was running very bad. Around 5-12FPS jumping down to 1-2 at times. I decided to Reinstall my Client and Delete my Prepar3D.CFG This morning but I had no luck with that. The frames were better but they were 15-25 in the BBS at FlyTampa Boston. They were jumping up and down too (Anywhere between 15-45FPS) So All in all I'm having quite an issue with Frame Stability and the amount that I am getting. S…

I looked everywhere and I cant find a fix. Anyone knows what causes this issue and how to fix it? https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1Y9TUQx0cn9RnlvWmJYTEI2OXM/view?usp=sharing Thanks Dekel

When I go to load a scenario, it asks me if I want to exit Prepar3d. I click no, resulting in the opening menus appearing in front of my plane. Closing the scenario window results in the simulator closing. Why is this happening? I just installed the PMDG 737 aircraft, by the way.

Hello, I'm actually new to the forums, but seems to be a good place for extra help with my sim as I'm not good with computers. I recently bought ORBX Germany North and Aerosofts Berlin Brandenburg. Everything was running fine prior to installing Brandenburg and the ORBX Germany North compatibility patch. Actually pretty beautiful with everything with ENVTEX which I also just got right before the issue. The Issue I'm having is the "Scenery.CFG File Error - Sceneries remote directory is invalid: Would you like to unload area?" Now I've read up on this but again I've pretty bad with computers. I can paste my CFG in here and hope for the best. Any help would …

"Top Secret Projects Now to the juicy stuff! Next year we have a number of top-secret projects being started. All of these are big budget, big investment, risky, adventurous and a little bit scary for us. I know I am going to sound deliberately vague, but understand we are investing deep into six figures for these initiatives so it's important to keep things within the company for now. Don't worry, I think you know how much we as a team love showing you new stuff, so things will be revealed soon enough. Project A - Massive. A huge investment in new tech, new tools, new apps and new staff. It will surprise many of you, and delight you all. It will focus on both Eur…

I am very distraught now and can use some advice. My FSX crashed and no way to get it to work. So I installed P3D. I am tying to get the parking brake off they won't release. I have Satiek Pedals. I can't get nose steering and don't see it in menus. So I want to install FSUIPC,but FSUIPC want to install it in FSX. How do I get FSUIPC into P3D?? Paul Gugliotta

So all this time, I have had tessellation set to off. I figured I have a good mesh for the areas I fly; and I heard it was hard on the CPU. I also have PTA v2, and the world looked pretty good - except for my weird light bluish lakes and rivers. And I could barely see any cloud shadows. Just for the heck of it, I turned tessellation 'on' tonight while experimenting, and - Christmas gift! - my lakes and rivers are darker, and while not dramatic, I can see moving cloud shadows. Does anyone have any idea why this would be?? I thought tessellation was just for the details of the physical landscape. Edit: I have v3.2, GTX970 card, and almost new driver. Tesse…

Good evening, I have a problem with black clouds that i hope you guys can help me with. As you can see i have big black clouds. I am using PTA 2.0 with Pedrag's preset, ENVTEX, AS16 and REX Soft Clouds. I have searched around, and i've tried to delete the content in /AppData/LockheedMartin/Local/Prepar3d/Shaders, and i have also replaced the ShadersHLSL with the original folder wthout luck. Any suggestions? Anyone know the solution for this? Greatly appreciated!

I'm a fully satisfied user of FTX Global and wondering if purchasing openLC North America and Vectors will make a significant difference. Like I said, I am satisfied with FTX Global but there are areas, mainly the southwest desert area of the US, which seem a bit weak to me. Will openLC North America patch that up and generally further improve the sim?

Hi all, I have posted about what I "think" might be an issue with one of my add on sceneries over at Aerosoft's forum (the publisher). This has got me reviewing my scenery library order. I believe it to be in the right general order but perhaps I have got it wrong, particularly when it comes to all the OrbX entries. Please comment if you see anything that is potentially in the wrong place. Thanks! [General] Title=Prepar3D Scenery Description=Prepar3D Scenery Areas Data Clean_on_Exit=TRUE [Area.001] Title=Default Terrain Texture_ID=1 Local=Scenery\World Layer=1 Active=TRUE Required=TRUE [Area.002] Title=Default Scenery Local=Scenery\BASE Layer=2 Active=TRUE …

Just wondering if anything already exists on the market. Thanks Dmitriy

I know this probably isn't a P3D problem, but I thought some of you clever people might be able to help me out. We all know that there are quite a lot of really good freeware airports to be found online. Some are absolutely mind blowing, while others are better off never seeing the light of day. I have a lot very good high quality freeware airports installed. However, I've noticed that with a small percentage of them I'm getting grass textures showing up on the taxi ways, like in the following image: Does anyone know how to fix this error?

Hello, somehow my add on pop up windows for AS16 and GSX are covering the entire screen when I open them and I can't seem to make them smaller (or actual windows rather than a full screen display), anyone run into this?

Hello everyone. I'm using Prepar3D since the beggining of the year. From January until July/August my sim looked pretty awesome. A lot of frames (between 35-40 with sceneries, REX, ASN, ORBX and more), much addons, much beautiful, but I needed to stop simming to study (August untill November). When i came back, I formated my PC to exclude the trash and start a new OS only with Prepar3D (I had already formated other times and no perfomance lost). When I flew the first time without addons, I had about 10-20 frames, and when I put addons I pick 5-8 frames. I tried ALL the ways to come back the previwes frames. I tried back video card drivers, win7, win8, win10, tweak CFG in …

Probably not the best category for this topic, but I was wondering what you guys though would be the best sound pack for a king air? I haven't really come across a realistic one yet... Thanks!

Hey guys! So having been away from flight simming for a good year studying the real thing, ive decided to come back and have some fun! My system is abit old now GTX770 I5 4670K 3.4Ghz ( OC to 4.4Ghz ) Just wondering what the best tweaks for performance and also a good looking sim? I used to play around alot with nvidea control panel etc, do you still use that? Any suggestions for me to try would be awesome! Jack

Good evening, Maybe someone of you can help me with an idea what to do. Thing ist that while on approach into Aerosoft EGFF i have appx 450 megs of VAS left. But then i get a OOM crash. I have no idea why this happens. With my old machine i could land even with 100 left and everything was fine. I have out of the stock p3d.cfg with latest 3.4 version. Sometimes when i repeat this flight it is possible to land but then not all textures from the airport are loaded and they stay black. No idea on this :-( Thanks for your ideas ! Carsten

After flying without HDR for a long time I thought I'd give it a try and played around with the settings until I thought it was perfect. For me it makes the outside world look stunningly realistic, especially when adjusting the bloom effect to the weather (sunny or overcast). I didn't know anymore why I hadn't used it for so long. In the cockpit however I noticed something weird going on. Immediately after switching from the outside to the virtual cockpit the cockpit colors and displays are perfect. But it starts to get brighter and brighter until at some point, it's way too bright and makes the cockpit colors look kind of washed out. Is there a way to prevent it …

Spent most of the day trying to get the sun graphic back in P3d with hotfix 2. (Client install only) I did have asn16 + asca (both SP1) + Envtex. (and throw in PTA). Some how I lost the sun graphic. I ended up uninstalling ASN16, ASCA and Envtex. Also reinstalled hotfix 2 Client. Refreshed shaders and ran P3D without ASN16 and I had sun. Later on after running P3D a couple of times, I couldn't stand being without ASN so I reinstalled it. I didn't install ASCA. I started ASN, then P3D. Low and behold, no sun. I've got the reflexion and shadows on pavement but no sun graphic. There has to be something left over from ASN16 that I can't find. After un install…
