Hi guy's, wondering if anyone can shed some light on this issue, I'm noticeing that everytime I up date GSX I loose the jetways at Aerosoft LIRF, they just disappear, it doesn't happen in fsx only in P3DV3.4, I noticed they weren't there last week when I placed the aircraft at Gate 704 Heavy at LIRF and after hours of trying to fix the problem I found that only uninstalling LIRF and doing a reinstall that they reappeared again, this morning I updated the GSX vehicles and boof gone again, please don't tell me that a uninstall and reinstall of LIRF is required every time, surely not, any ideas would be very helpful on how to set this up correctly. Cheers Rod.

I read that this aircraft works in P3D V2.1. Can someone please tell me where I can get it? Thanks a lot, Howard

I finally got around to updating P3D v3 to V 3.49 and now none of my add-on aircraft are displayed with a "Failed to Initialize, visualization only" indication. Can't seem to find a solution anywhere. I tried deleting the C:/program data\ Lockheed Martin\P3Dv3 folder and let it rebuild. Still no addon aircraft. Any thoughts/solutions would be appreciated. Rick

All, I just downloaded CS777 (I have 1.71 installed). I use the 757 successfully inside P3D. I use PFPX (v1.28) and export my files to the CS folder inside P3D. When I try to load the flight plan, the sim freezes and CTD. Any way to inject a flightplan that works and doesn't cause a CTD? I have seen the error/CTD posted elsewhere, but no where have I seen a solution. Thanks in advance! Pat

Hmmm, OK, well don't shoot me down guys. I know I'm going to be a single voice swimming against the tide. Today I finally managed to install P3D for the third time. The previous two times each ended, mainly because of frustration brought about by me not investing enough time and patience. Today, I have spent about 6- 8 hours trying in vain to get something that resembles the awesome performance and look of my FSX-SE installation. I have tried just about every combination of settings off various posts on Avsim, followed the P3D installation guides and tweaked and untweaked the cfg. So far I am extremely disappointed and unimpressed. I have had stutters, mainly due to abysm…

Hey everyone, I am just getting back into the sim world after being away for a few years with p3d, and I went in with two feet. Purchased the PMDG NGX and active sky 2016. I had used them back on FSX, a few years ago but decided to make the switch to p3d. Well I may be regretting that. I am having a problem that I'm worried I wont be able to fix without hours of diagnosing and reinstalling programs. First off the basics, Running p3d 3.4 on a windows 10 64 bit machine with i7 5820K @3.3 GHZ, 16 GB Ram, dual Nvidia 980s(running in NON SLI mode for p3d), P3d has the NGX Active sky, ezdok, and my virtual airline ACARS software. Various sim connect things, AS con…

I was testing tileproxy under win 10 x64 redstone with driver signature installations enabled.. i can get it to launch and start downloading tiles in the command window (via run as administrator).. but when i launch the fsx.exe (using estonia to switch to fsx mode first, which i assume is still needed), no land textures show up.. Has anyone had any success with version 3.4.9 or any of the newer 3.x versions of P3D.. Curious.. and thanks for any info.

I want to explore Alaska. I have got ORBX FTX Global with Open LC North America, which is very good but the coastines aren't very realistic. With the current ORBX sale I could get ORBX Southern Alaska for $AUD 35 or FTX Vector for $AUD 52 (which I understand would sort the coastines out). I like the idea of Vector because it would also apply to the whole world, but I have read that there can be problems with the elevations of some default airports - and you really have to add a 3rd party mesh as well (such as Pilots) but even that is not 100% accurate. Which should I get, do you think? Any advice would be appreciated!

Hello I am running P3D V3 with Nvidia Titan Black and a 3D projector. On occasion I have seen the '3D' mode enabled in P3D.. The LM anaglyph mode that is... Is there a way to enable it? I just got Benq glasses to compliment the projector and am eager to see how the visuals are with LM P3D in anaglyph mode. Many thanks & happy holidays! Mark

Hello Pilots, I was just wondering if MT6 can be installed in P3dv3.1 now without any special tweaks to get it to work? Has anyone tried it with the MT6 communicator? Thanks.

Posted this over in Orbx forums as well but with zero help so far I figured I will post the same question in here as well and hope maybe someone knows how to fix this. Below is my original post. "I've been using the FTX Global Lights Configurator in an attempt to make the taxiway lights at Orbx ESSA smaller since they appear being big as footballs in VR (Oculus Rift with FlyInside) in their original size. Tried out small but I still find the lights a bit too big so though I would try the very small setting but doing so makes the config tool crash with an exception error saying it can't find part of the path. Using Windows Explorer I realize what the prob…

If I delete scenery.cfg, will P3D rebuild it on startup? I'm missing some default airport buildings and my FSDT airports seem to disappear. Thanks,

I did not update the hotfix 1 as i was pretty happy but if hotfix 2 will do VAS benefit i might already ask if you need hotfix 1 to install? My only reason upgrading is FSL A320 X and PMDG 747V3 Thanks Michael Moe

Hi simmers! New to this forum, & in desperate need of some advice. I have recently installed Orbx global base, and couldn't believe the improvement on default FSX. I think the excitement was so intense that i just had to purchase vectors. Installed okay, although took a while to download/ extract (about 3ish hours) went to fire up a flight & whilst the scenery was loading I got the dreaded 'Microsoft flight simulator has stopped working'. After trial & (many) errors I found that the vectors file CVX is causing the load to crash. (From what I can see this is the file that contains any type of water features) has anyone else experienced this, or k…

I'm considering buying Orbx EU Norway and wanted to ask current owners how you like it? Not being a new product anymore I know there are lots of threads and reviews out there but most of them are quite old by now so would like some fresh input how this product performs in P3Dv3, how much of an improvement it is over using only the global Orbx products (FTX Global, Vector and openLC) and if you think it's worth its price? I do all my flying in the NGX but after switching from 2D to VR I've become more interested in what's outside the cockpit windows. Thanks in advance for your input!

I have ORBX GLOBAL BASE, GLOBAL Vector openLC North America see the image. https://postimg.org/image/m93azliq7/ https://postimg.org/image/cd27zycy7/ https://postimg.org/image/kiup73z8z/ https://postimg.org/image/evyc9mwqb/

I am looking for a moving map app for PC, similiar to Naviator (for Andorid) when you can insert your own georefrenced maps... Does anybody know something like that?

Hi I saw on FTX forum that people have problems with blurry texture after latest ORBX LIB update. This is biggest FSX community so I'm curious how does it look in your case. Thanks

Would it be a good suggestion for developers to offer AI addons that simulate real time traffic based on data available through Flightradar 24 ? Off course not world wide but "zonable" in a way that you can define a zone from where traffic data is obtained to interact with the AI program. Flightradar 24 would have to give authorization, thats for sure. That would be very nice. Who agrees ?

Surprised there's no a discussion. JV's (Orbx) comments about "Project P" in his 2017 road map have basically confirmed it. P3Dv4 will be 64bit and it is coming in 2017. I know Rob has dropped some hints as well via his denials :smile: Not sure if JV unwittingly broke the NDA or not, but his comments leave little room left for speculation.

I know that it's been probably beaten to death, but I still cannot find straight-forward method of installing EZDOK to v3.0 on clean sim. I just got new SSD and clean system, so there are no v2.5 traces in the registry anymore. You suggestion would be much appreciated.

Hi All, New Build Asus Gaming Pro 16gb latest bios. GTX 1070. Windows 10 64. Looking for a good Nvidia Driver. Any suggestions? I have read a couple of threads, but the focus was more on SLI which I am not implementing Regards Bob

What is the general consesus..multiple visibility layers off or on ? Thanks

I have been using P3D for a couple of weeks now and I am generally happy with it, however, I am confused as to what are the "default' Scenery files. I appear to have many files duplicated in my scenery folder and these file also show up in the Scenery Config programme I use. For example, scenery files appear as"Scenery\Cities\TwentyNine_Palms and also f:\Prepar3d 3.4\Scenery\Cities\TwentyNine_Palms. It seems logical that the scenery areas prefixed by f:\Prepar3d 3.4\Scenery\.........are the ones I should keep. Would these duplicates have any effect on VAS usage? Can anyone assist please? It seems also that my system gets very close to the VAS limit with PMDG aircr…
