I was just curious. The current options are all outdated it seems, require extensive guides just to install and they are all still offered at premium prices, something I'm personally not willing to pay for a DIY project I have to crowbar in. Seems like there's a significant gap in the market for an up-to-date traffic addon, with good performance, decent models and updated schedules. I haven't heard of any being in development but I don't have my ear that close to the ground, so I was wondering if anyone had heard anything? Currently playing without any traffic whatsoever, because the default traffic is fairly lethargic and takes quite a performance hit I feel. Though …

Does anyone know if PFPX includes the SID/STAR when saving/exporting flight plans? I would hope not because I would like to store them without those information because those are always changing based on ATC clearance and weather. I would like to have just the base route saved only with the waypoints which doesn't change, so that way I can load them up into my FMC/MCDU for future flights.

I had FSX Boxed then now I have FSX Steam. I have several hundred dollars worthj of Orbx Scenery but my downloads can't find the path. I've used registry fixer. Towards the end of the install ORBX does offer a way to find the path to the Steam exe. but when I go into it's files it won't let me dig deep enough to locate it. I can see steam but not the exe. I went into my file configuration and made the change to show the hidden files. How can a company like ORBX not make the neccesary changes so someone like us with Steam can make it easier to download?

If you look in the area of these co-ordinates ... N63 14.4198 W145 40.7123 ... what's with the water levels around the lake and the road in the water? I have Global Base/Global Vector (no mesh) and this looks pretty weird. Am I doing something wrong or is this the way Vector thinks it is "supposed" to be? Doug/RTMM

Ugh! What do we have coming out? Anything this year?

Hi, I recently bought the Ifly 747. Upon opening for the first time, I am greeted by this http://imgur.com/Xc2btHl# I can hear the engines and the plane moves, but none of the switches screen or control surfaces are working. Thanks in advance, Tom Page

Good day. I have a Asus gtx 750 with 2 GB Vram. And I running p3d v3.3 and that requires, (or recommended) 4GB. I have quite good peformence but on final and after landing I can get 15-23 fps, dropped from almost stable 30fps. And Vram was almost 2000 mb usage so I think that cause the problem. How can I reduse Vram usage. Under the flight I get between 1500-1800 mb Vram usage and stable 28-30fps.

I have just got prepar 3d v3 and have ftx orbx for fsx steam , do i have to re-install the orbx products to work with prepar 3d?

Hi Guys, I really need help on this. How do i install the all aircraft from Dino Cattaneo's library onto P3d V3? I'm bit confuse and really need directions and help please. Regards

Why, I don't know. I've tried everything. I've done elevation adjustments in FSX Central and I've reinstalled the program, but I fondly remember Pakt being so vibrant with people walking around and the deep roads down to the terminal, and everything else that makes this such a great airport. Now, nothing looks even close. Trees and Radio antennae are in the air, and I can't seem to get it all back. I've tried installing UTX Alaska and it has helped a very little bit. Trees are still in the air but some runway obstructions are gone. However, the real PAKT from ORBX doesn't exist anymore. WHAT can I do here? I really want my PAKT back again. Stan

I am trying to reinstall Orbx Global, but Global Installer is not allowing me to select P3D v.3 currently only FSX I have FSX SE on my C: Drive and P3d on my e: Drive. Thanks,

Does the new Flight1 GNS530 fit into old Carenado planes on P3D? There are some really nice old Carenado aircraft that, on P3D, have their (coughs) default nav stuff. It would be nice to have these airplanes with a decent nav system in P3D.

Just installed the newest version of ProATC/X. I have to problems with it: 1. ATC tells me at a certain moment what STAR I have to fly but that's it. It doesn't tell me which runway it is for and what transition to use. I only get that information when I have already passed the startingpoint of the STAR which obviously is WAY too late. This used to work perfectly in the previous version, when all that information was given a lot earlier. 2. The scrolling text info is not in sync with the spoken text: it either has a lot more information or totally different information. Anything I can do about this? How do you handle that late STAR information? Yes, I do know …

I'm pretty sure A16 is causing this, but I don't know how to fix it: More often than once while flying, the weather changes rapidly. One moment, I can see the contours of distant mountains and the other everything is hazed up. This can happen between zero and any number of times within a flight and frankly, it kills the immersion. The following images are taken within seconds of each other. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

Hello. I have UT 2 with migration tool. When I was in Win 8 with P3D v3.5, I can successfully download it. But now I have new PC with Win 10 and P3D v3.4, it just doesn't work. I can neither see any traffic nor error messages. So I really have no clue what is happening. And after struggling for some time, I decided to use default AI traffic. I move all the sliders to the right but still no default traffic! Now I'm thinking if this is P3D problem or UT2 problem... Could anyone please help? :( Thanks in advance.

Sorry if this is wrong forum. Bought A2A Cessna 172 and somehow it has gone from my system. How can I download it again? Thanks

I have installed QualityWings 146 package using there installer but there are issues as in Flaps are not working and there may be more things. Had anyone installed this and is it working correctly? I cannot find any information for new installers and what I did hear is that QualityWings may not do any for V3.

I recently did the update of the client to 3.4.9.. it was advised by many here, to just do the client, dont worry about the content or scenery portions. In fact, at one point, I acronis'd my image and decided to try the content update to see what would happen.. at first everything seemed fine.. then as i tested airplanes such as the Legacy.. they threw errors on effects missing, sound files missing.. as it appears updating the content actually removed those portions? Unsure if in this case i could have just recopied the old content folder over the new and somehow had a good merging? At any rate.. I found another issue.. hot keys for things like GSX and youcon…

I posted this on the proatc forum already and thought I'd post it here too... I'm running pro-atc on a client machine. Pro-atc can connect to fsx but it wont connec to prepar3d. All folders are setup fine and all. Works all good when using fsx but... If i move the radio button from flight simulator x to prepar3d pro-atc/x tries to connect to fsx and since fsx is not running it tells me unable to connect to fsx! I tried saving and restarting proatc.no joy. I tried rebooting the computer no joy either. Can anyone help? Thanks

Hi, with the release of p3d 2.5, can somebody please advise if FS Global 2010 FTX is compatible or not? It works fine with 2.4, but am uncertain if I should install 2.5 now or wait. I know ORBX is working on their addons...but who knows how long that might still take. Thank you, Rene

Does anyone have the following GA planes that they can share their profiles: A2A Cessna 182 A2A Cessna 172 Realair Lancair Legacy Turbo Carenado Phenom 100/300 I notice a few things missing in the Aircraft editor in the latest 1.8.5.0 of PATCX. You cannot set the engine type and a few other things such as engine, fuel, cruising speed, etc... I'm referring to this picture which is from an old version of PATCX.

Thanks! Anyway, what about this step (5) Turning off AI traffic (Default Traffic)? How to turn off default AI traffic?

Just wanted to share a rough video i made using g-sync... there seems to be lots of doubts about regarding using g-sync and the need to have fps up in the hundreds, here i used KSEZ A2A C-182 with ASN and trackir, sliders for autogen on very dense! and 4096 textures, shadows for terrain, clouds,objects on high, so its loaded up with average frame rates of 40.

Hi, Win 10 P3d v3.4 FSUIPC v4.957 (Fully Licenced) I'm having trouble getting to Grips with my VRInsight FCU Combo (Airbus), can anybody help me get it sorted? I can load any of the standard profiles up with Serial FP2 or VRiSim, and everything is dandy. What I can't do is program a bespoke set of mappings. I have amended the FSUIPC.ini, and the buttons are recognised in FSUIPC. But when I load up the FCU Combo Keymapper with a profile i've made with some mapped buttons, they just don't work in P3d. Any help or advice gratefully received. Alistair
