Somehow, the pointers for the install destination went to E: instead of C:, so I cant install on C:. I do have an E:but its backup only. There is no place to select the destination drive that I can find. It just selects it automatically. Anybody know where to change this. Thanks.

Whenever I fly with VOR only I like to set the various VOR gauges to the EXACT radial and also my heading to the EXACT heading I want. I can only get this done by using the tool tips. However, when I enable tool tips I constantly see tool tips appear when I move my mouse in the VC. This in itself isn't a real problem but the immense stutter each tool tips gives me certainly is. Very annoying. Specially when I have to drag my mouse over larger distances and various tool tips temporarily ruin my performance. As it is now I tend to enable the tool tips to set everything up and then disable them again. This is a bit cumbersome... So I was wondering: 1. Is there a way to c…

Anyone have this? Looking for opinions before purchase.

Hi All, Fantastic DA42 product from Alabeo. I am having trouble with one thing, though. Whenever I input an entire flight plan into the G1000 (multiple VORs/FIXs) the autpilot will not engage properly. It will start to bank violently side-to-side when HDG or NAV become selected, and fail to capture either HDG or NAV. This isn't an issue when I have only one waypoint direct, it engages/follows AP like a dream - only when I have multiple waypoints strung together does it act erratic. Has anyone had this issue before (In any G1000 aircraft)? Or know how to possibly remedy it? I've just recently purchased the aircraft from Alabeo, and I'm running P3D V3. T…

Hi everyone. Been a while since i took my NGX out for a trip and as always i have my VR Insight CDUII in action as my left FMC. But tonight i had so much stutter when the FPS dropped below my main TV@30hz to 27-28 fps. Since its been a while i cant recall having missed something but thought about two things 1. Why is PR3D always setting 1024x1280 for the CDUII when i had choosed 768x1024 in Windows? I have corrected it in P3D. CFG but it resets 2. Maybe the stutter has something to do with that the CDU display is not operating at 30 HZ? Vsync on. Unlimited FPS Thanks Michael Moe

Has anyone bought it and tested it out in P3Dv3.35 yet? My internet is slow tonight, it's showing 3 hours to completion. :mad:

Hi there. I am getting very frustrated, because after updating P3D to V3,5, all of my add-on planes are non functional, they are there, but dont work, no electricity, no knobs or anything working in the cockpit. :wub: I made a full download from LM, uninstalled my "old" version, cleaned the registry, restarted my pc and run the installer, pointing to the same location as before, on my E drive. All the default planes are working fine, but none of the add-ons!! Hope someone can help, best regards Bjarne Otto GeForce GTX 780 Intel i7 CPU 1600 GB RAM Windows 10 Pro

Hi! Im currently setting up flightplans and some of the textures requires many entries in the aircraft folders. Will i lose performance by having like 100+ entries in the same aircraft.cfg? By looking at some old flightplans and textures, i notice that some basemodels that was the same, had two different folder with different names. But i cant seem to get that to work when making new ones.

In P3d - go to MMDO (Durango) - go to map view and zoom out - southwest of the airport, in the mountains are several orange markings. Zooming in shows the words FALL as in the attached. If I am flying over it in real time I see them and sometimes a texture will fill in over same. Any clue what this might be? Vic

I was checking out the freeware stuff on Orbx's site here and was wondering why the filesize on these global airports extremely small if they are "GLOBAL". Are these suppose to replace the default P3D/FSX airports with up to date and more detailed buildings and lighting or what? Not exactly sure what these 2 packages offer. https://fullterrain.com/freeware/global

Hey guys I have purchased as16 and loving it Just a question I have max surface visibility at 15m And max upper at 63 Vol fog on Are those settings realistic? And find it a little hazier than. Expected is realistic? If i increase its fine but I'de rather have a. Realistic settings as I do mostly fly IFR Cheers Mike

Has anyone used this for P3D? Is it worth the price instead of the standard GTN750 gauge? http://www.flight1tech.com/products/avionicssimulations/g750simulator.aspx

Hi there P3D simmers, I'm looking to get as many frames as possible in P3D as i really enjoy 60-100 fps in the VC when using G-sync, but it's not always possible. do you have any suggestions: for example I run [email protected], GTX 980 Ti overclocked, 16GB RAM 3200mhz, Native 1440p res G-Sync monitor @ 144hz. I sim, P3D with PMDG/Majestic/A2A, AS16+ASCA, UT2 (modelmatch only - no AI), Vatsim traffic via Vpilot (a must), EZCA, FTX, Glob/LC/regions/Vector etc plethora of add-on sceneries etc etc, all the common stuff. I use myself the following strategies to keep frames as high as possible Use MSI afterburner to always check GPU% and keep below 100% AM 253 …

I also installed the ASCA HD Content, and sees that it adds 4096 hi res textures, has anyone tried them out yet? I'm currently running my textures in ASCA at 512. I'm afraid to go higher because I run a lot of add-ons when simming. But don't know if their's any noticeable benefits using 4096 HD textures for clouds. Cloud are suppose to be soft. I am currently using the full dynamic theme, is this the best one to use to get the most out of AS16 and ASCA? That way my sky colors, clouds, etc will dynamically change according to the weather being picked up by AS16. One thing I noticed when updating from ASN to AS16 is that AS16 now uses Navigraph data, what's the reas…

I recently have FSDT KMEM installed with new SODE 1.3.4 jetways and they work perfectly in the designated airports, such as KIAH. However I'm having problems with old SODE airports such as IMS KATL and AS LIRF. Below is the list of steps I have implemented. 1. Removed old SODE 1.2 version, but moved LIRF/KATL sub-folders into the temporary directory. 2. Make sure that DLL and EXE paths to SODE were removed also 3. Installed FSDT KMEM that also installed and registered new SODE 1.3.4. Check functionality of the jetways to make sure they work OK in KMEM/KIAH 4. Moved KATL and LIRF directories into C:\Program Files (x86)\12bPilot\SODE\data\SimObjects\ImagineSim KATL …

Tried to ask over at the NE forum, but cant seem to get a proper answer. Im running the latest version of P3D. I purchased NE Sweden but it turns out it only has a installer for P3D V2 and FSX. When i run the installer and choose V2 and then point the folder to my root P3D folder, this comes up: Problem is that i dont have the folders (i only have the V3 folders): Roaming\Lockheed Martin\PREPAR3D v2 or ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\PREPAR3D v2 What would be the correct steps to get a successful install into my P3D?

Posted in the Milviz forum here at Avsim Looks amazing!

The excellent P3D Guide doesn't include the name of the author so I'd like to express my thanks publicly for his work in producing it. I'm still with FSX:SP2 but there's every likelihood I'll be moving to P3D v3 this autumn. That document will help enormously.

Hello, as described in the Topic Title I have a problem with satelite images that are visible at aiports. I have linked some screenshots so you can get an image of my problem. Installed addons in these screenshots are: - Flytampa Corfu -JustSim Nice -ORBX Global/Vectors/OLC Europe Any ideas whats wron? Thanks so mutch in advance, docunhown http://imgur.com/igdB6N1 http://imgur.com/FhLCJr4

LM's F-35 in P3D or IndiaFoxtEcho's? I'm looking for the best one, or is there another one that I'm unaware of? For those of you who have flown both versions or any other ones out there, could you offer some insight on which version is good and has the best visuals as well.

Is there any reason in P3D v3.x to upgrade from a 980Ti to the available 1080 cards? Given the cost will there be any noticeable increase in performance? For reference, I would consider a 10% frame rate increase to be clearly noticeable. Sorry if this has been asked already, and thanks for any input you can give! Bill

Do the AI Ships (located in the library here) work in P3D v3.3?

I've read up on the various fixes for blurries throughout the years here.. i've tried various suggestions.. i'm posting this in case i'm missing something, but i have a feeling that my graphical sliders are just too high, despite overall good frame rate.. Just wrapping up some fine tuning of 2D settings after re-installing everything and get a 980ti baseline before going to the 1080 ftw card. I use the fsmark07 test as a basis for most tests, using fraps over 120 seconds.. i shoot for an average of 27 fps in this ftx loaded region (plus UTX and Vector and Gex).. I can avoid the blurries if i remove the affinity mask.. i tried both with and without fiberframe..…

Does anyone know how to fix this? It mostly happens with Aerosoft sceneries and at night.
