We're soon counting 2017, and its about time that we get a sim with integrated scenery creation tools:

Hey guys, I hadn't played P3D in a while and decided to start it up last week. I kept trying to open it "Run as Administrator" and the splashscreen would load but all of a sudden it goes away and closes with no error message. If i open while viewing task manager, i watch the program disappear. No error message or anything, https://gyazo.com/3e7ec6b5e285aad0da126954eb7476e4 So I did a complete uninstall (Deleted the appdata files, the files in documents, and the registry files) then reintalled P3d two times and it still keeps crashing. I even tried making a new user and installing it on that user but it STILL crashes with no error message. I know there c…

Hi everyone A few days ago, I noticed that there was ground scenery coming through some airports. (Picture: http://prnt.sc/de5ftt LSGG) Normally, there's some green, boring grass area around the runways and taxiways. (Picture: http://prnt.sc/de5gao LFML) I have all scenery disabled, and P3D clears the scenery cache on startup/exit. It happens with some airports, but others are perfectly fine (e.g. LSGG). Any idea on why this happens? DagelijksGamer

Giving up Mytraffic 6.0. Wasted too much time to make it work. Other traffic addons recommended? Thanks!

I have a problem with FTX Vector 1.1 with payway airport FlyTampa VHHX. After i install the Vector, i try to take off from runway 31. I got "Building Crash". Even i disable the Airport elevation correction in "Configuration Tools". I try disable "VHHX and VHHH" Still got the "building crash inside the runway...Anyone same with me?

OK with P3D V3.1 and the newer PMDG 777 the OOM seems to be "solved" for the most part..but when I am approaching to land (OMDB Dubai), my FPS is down to 4-5 which kind of sucks Other than upgrading my CPU.. I have the i7-3770: 4.5Ghz and GTX-670 What settings should I think of lowering to get a better FPS? I think I used to get 10-11 prior to 3.1..during 3.0 during approach to to airport OMDB

Can anyone offer any advice? Unsure what has gone on, but I installed P3D last week and then today I went to start it and found I couldn't. I get this message. I can't remember, but I may have done a registry clean. Yeah I know, I'd been having all manner of issues with a fresh install. It's driving me round the bend so I was desperate. Could this be the problem. I'd rather not do a reinstall if I can avoid it. Anyone? Cheers.

What is Required=True in FSX/P3D cfg files? The default entries always come with Required=True. What about Add-on entries? Should they be False? Thanks, Dirk. And while I'm at it how about Texture.cfg's Type=Global or World? I've installed an add-on scenery outside of Prepar3d and now adding entries with the paths in P3D's config files. Thanks,

They did the 24 hour sale on January 16th of this year, 9,99 for everything in the store. Anyone have any insight into whether they will do this again ? I really want to buy P3D versions of the 727 and L1011 as I close in on leaving FSX behind. BTW, the last hurdle is the FSL A320....as soon as that arrives for P3D I am out!

Today ,I started experiencing Prepa3r3D CTD and Ezdok not loading - yesterday both worked fine. Today Windows 10 did a major update (KB3201845). I previously posted my CTD stats, whiler trying to find a fix I noticed that Windows installed a major updat in the last 24 hours. Is this a coincidence? Anyone else having similar problems after thw windows 10 update? steve s

Last night I was flying the Q400 from DCA to YTZ, there was a snowstorm at YTZ with 2.5 miles vis and clouds down to 600 feet AGL. I was on the RNAV C approach descending through 2000ft into runway 08 and stressing about when I would see the runway when the whole experience was ruined by the airport lighting shining through the overcast layer at full brightness. Kind of ruined the moment and I am wondering if there is anything that can be done to stop this effect ? thanks.

So as the title discribes this is the problem I'm having for many addon airports, both UK2000, Aerosoft etc. The promblem seems to be that the addon airport installs, but half or more of the default airport is still left and put on top of the payware. There must be a way of solving this, but how?? Thanks in advance /Fredrik

I am running FSX on Windows 10 with FTX Global Vector and OrbX Northern California installed. I had normal cockpit and external plane views in the Limberlost airport, but after installation of the Blue Canyon scenery pack via FTX Central, my A2A Cessna 182 appears to be half buried in the runway at the same airport. I had an interrupt of the Blue Canyon scenery download since, unknown to me and with no warning (!), Windows 10 was doing an automatic update in the background. I completed the update of Windows 10 and shut down my PC. I then re-booted the PC. I uninstalled the Blue Canyon scenery via FTX Central, switched off the anti-virus software and re-downloaded the sc…

Hi I want to buy TrackIR5 to increase my NGX immersion. Is EZDOK mandatory addon too with such combo? I read through some topics where users had huge set up problems with NGX and TrackIR5. Is there a good guide to do it without EZDOK anywhere? I don't have or plan to buy EZDOK. thanks

I am running Windows 7 64 bit with P3d v3.4 using Ftx global with vector, Lc North America. CPU is 4690k with affinity mask 15. Also tried using 14. Gpu is Gtx 1080. Using 4k tv with 2048 texture resolution. Msaa set at 4x no fxaa in p3d. Nvidia Control Panel is set with single display performance mode and high quality. Fps set to unlimited with vsync on triple buffering on. Cfg is vanilla except for affinity I set. I always pan around when first loading a flight to let everything load. When panning on ground or airborne textures are slow to load by about 2 seconds or so. When flying there is terrain and scenery that's popping in as I get closer to it. Monitoring…

Posted this question in another thread but figured I will post it in its separate thread as well for more people to see it. I've recently started flying in VR using a pair of Oculus Rift VR glasses and today I experienced precipitation in form of snow for the first time and that wasn't a very nice experience honestly. Both rain and especially snow have always been one of the weak points in our simulated reality as we all know and I guess one of the main reason being the excessive speed of the precipitation but also how the actual snowflakes and raindrops are modeled. In VR all this was even more noticeable and so far I was only parked at the gate, can only imagine w…

I have recently switched to a laptop as my simming platform but I realized Nvidia DSR is not supported on laptops yet. I came across the Gedosato tool which allows downsampling on games, anyone here uses the tool could offer some help with the setting up for P3D? Much appreciated.

i finally did a test guys n found that p3d 3.4 work right on windows 32, bit N not 64 bit i find win 7 32 bit works b etter for my p3d i did some testing and find it works quite welll #resolution too my issue is windows 32 bit fixed my issues i was having on 64 bit windows 7 i think for a wile ill be using this till -p3d goes all out 64 bit os in the next yr or 2 i would assume :wink: :smile:

Yesterday I upgraded my Win 7 to Win 10 with P3D v3.4 on it. Before upgrade P3D was running smoothly at 35fps locked. After the upgrade fps dropped to max 24-25, and more at demanding scenery (10-14 fps). Even with fps unlimited it will not go more then 25fps. The strange thing is if the P3D window is not in focus (I run P3D in windowed mode) fps goes back to 35fps (my locked fps) and above 70 if unlimited. As soon as I select P3D window fps goes back to 24-25fps. If have g-sync on, vsync is off. No NI settings. I tried turning off g-sync but it's not the cause. Also tried deleting shader cache folder, deleting config...still the same issue. Nvidia driver also updat…

I still need help and I don't know what I did to get the post locked?

I just took a P3D V 3.4 ride on the superb RealAir Lancair Legacy for a tour of my new ORBX facilities at Narvik, Catalina Island and Dubrovnik. With all settings to the far right (water minus 1), choppy Opus weather, maximum radius of 34 mile haze setting, full PTA alterations, and Track IR on a huge screen in a dark room, it would be hard to imagine stunning reality more perfectly simulated. Until some future versions of Oculus Rift with hand position recognition controls, nothing else on the market even comes close. P3D is fabulous in all aspects, controls work great with FSUIPC, and ORBX products on ESP derivatives has a lot of future to go. P3D v 3.4 is s…

Hello. After changing to drivers 375.86 from 373.06 I started to have this issue with Ultimate traffic planes. I can see inside of them. I have changed to recent 376.19 but still the issue is not solved. I don't see any other post about it, so I don't know if only happens to me or not.. Do anyone know how to solve the issue? I have an GT980ti in windows10 P3D v3.4 I cannot turn back to previous good drivers. Wouldn't work other programs Thanks.
