anyone using flight environment x for p3d v3.4 if so is the water better than rex water thanks.

I currently have AS16 installed and configured to run over the network. I have a 2nd computer that I use to run my 3rd party apps on. So my simconnect.cfg file looks like this: [simConnect] Protocol=IPv4 Address=192.168.1.x Port=500 MaxReceiveSize=4096 DisableNagle=0 But now that I plan on installing and running Pro-ATC/X alongside AS16, it requires me to add another entry into my simconnect.cfg file on port 6811. Does anyone know how I can manage to get multiple apps running and what I need to do? Do I need to make another [simConnect] entry inside my current simconnect.cfg file or can I simply add Port=500,6811? UPDATE: Can I just put the simconnect.cfg file i…

PMDG 747-400 Queen of the Skies II In Beta So far, so good. Enjoy

When configuring the MCDU, where can I get the takeoff values for the following entries? I am using PFPX. I know you can use the aerosoft utility to get those values. But I prefer to get it from PFPX. I don't want to use multiple apps just to get this information. FLAPS/THS and FLEX TO TEMP

I never had the original, but it does look like a fun aircraft. 83 USD.... whew! http://majesticsoftware.com/mjc8q400/products.html

Note the ground and wind speeds hehe!

I figured out my problems with the autopilot, I did not understand I could just click on the path in the address bar, and it would condense down, copy then paste. I have it and and the ground speed gauge showing up and working. One question though, how do I get the key codes to work so I can put in airspeed, etc... I read a tutorial, but it just shows how the cfg should look, mine is exact, but the keyboard controls in the cfg do nothing. Am I missing a single number, or true or false somewhere to activate them so that they work? thank you.

Hi! A short question today. I have been wondering about this for quite some time. Read a lot about it, but I can't find an explanation for this setting when it comes to P3D. What is the difference between the setting quality and high quality besides the texture filtering - quality option in Nvidia Inspector for P3D? Only things I have changed in my profile is pre rendered frames to 1, 4xSGSS AA, Single Monitor performance and prefer maximum performance. Within P3D my textures are set to 1024 and AA according to NVI. I see that Rob recommends High Quality in his NVI profile that is covered on his page.

I was having a lot of issues getting P3D to start so I did a repair install of the client only. I later traced it back to a faulty FSUPIC install so a reinstall of that fixed the issue so it was a waste but oh well. Since I did the repair install of the client, am I correct in assuming that I don't have to reinstall my addons such as ORBX base and UTX?

Looking for some advise... I own both FTX Global textures and GEP3D (GEX) textures. I also use UTXv2. I prefer the GEP3D / UTX2 combination for the east / northeast US scenery where I spend much of my time flying. However, I would like to try the Orbx California & Alaska Regions for the times I fly the west coast; as I am fairly sure it will improve the scenery there. Is there a fairly painless way to switch between the two textures sets without screwing up P3D? And do I also need FTX Vector if using the Orbx west coast regions? Edit: I am fairly sure each install has the P3D default textures as their backups - although at this point I can't be sure... …

Does fs water configurator work in p3d v3.

It seems whenever I am banned from the FTX Forum I find myself back here. Yep, it happened again. But I was just politely expressing my opinion in a calm manner (using my regular writing style) and JV blocked the thread and put me on suspension for a month. I can read the forum and my PMs but I am unable to respond or post anything until August 1st. This makes my third suspension. I was simply stating that I was tired of all the tweaking and maintenance that has to be done with P3D/Orbx and that I was uninstalling Orbx and going back to FS2004 which is less intimidating to someone with my limited expertise. Most of the respondents were in agreement and wish…

Hi WOAI users- I came across this on YouTube. Is it this easy? Can I theoretically replace all models in P3D with more frame rate friendly models, losing UT2? I see this could take a bit of time but might be well worth it. Let me know if you get a minute. Cheers and thanks, Mark

Greetings from a new guy! I was wondering if the twin otter has any issues with v3.4. I'm thinking about buying it, but it says it's officially only compatible with v2.

According to the P3D tweaks section on their site this tweak can cause stutters. But, I see very little of that on the forums. I'm having an issue with AI textures being black for a second or two before fully loading at airports with heavier AI (I only have MT6 AI at about 10%). This tweak seems to improve it (and my frames a bit somehow but that will require more testing). I've tried values of 3,6,9, and if I recall 27,30,33 and all cause stutters every few seconds. I've done both unlimited and locked FPS. I have the i5 6600k, GTX 1060 GPU, 16gb RAM and have a fresh .cfg file generated for the latest version of P3D. I have very limited understanding of how all …

Guys, Ever experienced flying with Prepar3D with Windows 10, having when retracting gears, no more access to your keyboard, the only way to get it back is to bring up the configuration menu, click keyboard and clicking on and off one of the buttons on keyboard menu to reactivate the keyboard, also happens with mouse wheel sometimes, any ideas, someone ?

I have always been told that it was important to first load a default P3D aircraft like the F-22 before switching to a more complex add-on plane like an A2A T-6 or C172 for instance. My question is, does that mean actually loading the F-22 and placing it on the runway before switching to an A2A plane? My saved default flight is the F-22 out of San Diego. I launch P3D and have it display the selection menu screen, at that point I switch aircraft and sometimes airports and then hit OK to launch. By not actually launching the F-22 P3D default aircraft am I not accomplishing the recommendation or is getting to the selection splash screen with the F-22 ready to lau…

Hi gents, http://sode.12bpilot.ch/?page_id=9 I have never manually installed this before but I hear it being referred to a lot. Does one have to install it manually to gain functionality with it? Alex

Hi richard this is just a heads up for you and any others using Justsims Lowi.A new version 1.25 hs been uploaded and fixes the flashing windows that we all coulld see. just tested and looks much much better. steve

For fans of classic airliners the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) one-eleven has just been released with a introductory price offering too. Hope someone will provide feedback on it soon. I had it on my watch list but have to hold for a bit longer before I can purchase. Hope it's a success for them.

I posted this over in the PMDG support forum as well so sorry for cross-posting but figured the audience in here is probably much bigger. Also I'm not sure if this is an issue specific to the NGX or caused by something else. So I was flying ESSA-LEMG to check out the new Aerosoft Malaga scenery and shortly after I started my decent I brought up the PFD to set the local QNH at LEMG and this is what I got As soon as I minimized the PFD again into it's normal size and position it looked just fine. I tried bringing it up several times but every time the same result seeing some ground texture instead of the PFD. I then figured I would try if this was specifi…

Hi everyone, I know Rob has found som kind of an issue with 3.4.9 (thanks alot) but i desided anyway to take a trip from FT EKCH to Aerosofts EGLL using only OPENLCEU without any Vectors in 4K for the first time in 3.4.9 using the NGX 736. I was using Vpilot along with som totally arrogant online Vatsim Controllers that seems not to be qualified for seperation (they should really take into the account that online simmers is to handle sometimes a two pilots job here) Anyway both airports is amazing and i used GSX in both airports and landed at the demanded RWY09L . LOD4,5 , Complexity maxed , Autogen on Normal , no road traffic, but 5% Mytraffic No…

Im using default settings in Prepar 3D graphics settins , which are quite low. FPS from 8 to 12 I saw some videos of people with the 1080 having smooth fps over NY and big cities. Im having terrible FPS. Any ideas what can cause this? i7 4770 Windows 7 16GB RAM Overclocking the card makes no difference or maybe worse.

Hello I installed FTX England, flew with it and then changed a few settings while doing a circuit at Manchester EGCC. After I finished bumping up the sliders to the right (this is in Prepar3D btw), the scenery looked very dull to what it was before... I don't have a before and after screenshot but I do have something... This is what it looks now: http://prntscr.com/crb7ts Before, it looked like the screenshots on FTX's website. It had a nice green color to it, now its just an Autumn beige shade :( Any help is appreciated!

Hello guys, P3D is just not loading any of the modules from either dll.xml or exe.xml. PMDG and FSL Cockpits are inop without any gauges, I cannot open FSUIPC, EZCA is not working, GSX and Couatl are not working and half of the entries in the Add-Ons-Menu are missing. It is coming up randomly. Sometimes P3D loads everything well on the first try, sometimes it doesn't even after the 10th attempt. I suspect that it has to do with installing FSX:SE in parallel to P3D a couple of weeks ago but I don't have any solid evidence on this. FSX:SE is uninstalled now with any traces removed (incl. registry). On top of that, I am still getting a ntdll.dll crash on exit of P3D …
